I can do babblespeak with the best of them. I can even be snide and argue while still maintaining the veneer of babble civility. (I don't even know what a veneer is, but my grip on language this morning is like that of an engineer passed out in a runaway locomotive - I'm in complete control!)
It's confusing. Some of the most mean-spirited posts are well within the rules. They might even be overly *polite*. Just polite enough to entice you to stop and read their post.
An insincere post cloaked in babble civility and politeness can be as hurtful as a personal attack. HappyFlower, I understand your reaction. I no longer even try to post on Social or many of the sub boards for that reason.
I've really run out of boards unless I start having medication or therapy issues. The strength of this site is really the main board where people can compare notes on medications. The ice is thicker there.
