I believe in the golden rule, maddie.
I truly, truly do. What bothers and upsets me in any interactions with people is when it's OK for one person to engage in a behavior, but not OK for anyone else.
For example - I don't post babblemails - I don't want people posting mine. I do my level best to speak civilly to others, I want them to speak civilly to me.
No one's a door mat - & personally, I believe the rules should apply across the board for everyone ....
But, unfortunately - that doesn't happen, does it?
& as I said before, true - toes get stepped on - feelings get hurt - hopefully, apologies are made and a dialogue ensues. Most important is the dialogue.
I haven't had that experience on babble for the most part.
>>>>The way I see it is that we are all in a relationship here and we all have ownership in whether or not we continue to hurt each other....
I totally agree. When I have expressed hurt or dismay or distress or whatever - all I pretty much got (in more than *a few* instances, maddie) was "what's you're problem, owc??" - in general - from whomever....& I am not naming any specific instances, just my overall interpretation of my experience here at babble.
So, I don't know if you're post was specifically addressed to me or not - but I sure hope not.
