Nasty back-biting on another board

I have visited HGTVs bulletin board three times as a guest just to see what people were talking about in the world of decorating. I was shocked at the way people can be so disrespectful. One topic seemed to be a forum for trashing popular decorators such as Christopher Lowell, Lynette Jennings, and Martha Stewart. Another actually included insults and name-calling between members of the board!

I almost registered so that I could direct these people to this site so they can see how people from different walks of life and differing opinions can get along and respect each other. Then, I changed my mind out of fear that they would register here and bring their nastiness with them.

Besides, I don't think these people would have any interest in boxers. They appear to be too self absorbed to care about anything but their own narrow personal opinions.

Anyway, I just needed to vent about this. I think this is a wonderful place to share and not worry about people slamming you for your opinion or the way you do things.

I know what you mean. I have stopped going to the Fox News Forum for just that same reason. I am so glad that we have this great forum with all these nice people on it. I always look foward to seeing the posts, and finding out what's going on with everyone.

This is the only board I've ever used, so I have no point of reference, but I've been impressed overall by the lack of nastiness I see here. Some pretty controversial topics have gone by with good discussions, but no attacks.
I'm glad you didn't invite them to this board, they probably couldn't relate, anyway!

I happend to fall upon a board for people who sell boxers. It was the worst board I have ever seen. Seem to be full of people who were out for a buck, not really caring about the breed. I was so disgusted. I can't find the board now, (don't really want to!!!) Glad I found this one instead.

I have visited a popular Russian sites dedicated to various pets. Not anymore. They have a 'hot line' page where you can get a professional advice from an on-line vet, so I asked a couple of question. The probelm is other people who enter the page often give their nasty or sarcastic comments on what other people ask. Just imagine that: a qestion - I feed my dog such and such, and so many times a day and it's not growing. I am doing something wrong? Then someone's comment - What?!? how many times?! are you NUTS?
Well, what is now? Look, the owner wanted a professional and friendly advice from someone who inderstands what's right and what's wrong, not a stupid comment from someone who didn't even bother him/herself to be polite!!! :mad:
Good thing, the web-master started deleting comments from other visitors, not vets from the clinic, but anyway, this happens everywhere on that site. Any forum you enter has lots of nastiness, insults, etc. People owning a certain breed insult owners of other breeds - 'comparing my dog to yours is like comparing a new Rolls-Royce to a rotten lousy chip car' and so on, and so forth.
Oh Gosh, I was so sick and tired of them all that I left and nevercome there again.
We all know that in the Boxerwolrd we do our best to have more members and make them enjoy this site. Just because you are all so nice and friendly here the first thing I do every morning is going here. Thank you!!
