Just a friendly reminder from your neighborhood Officer
In light of recents events, and certain users who I won't name "leaving" the site, here's what I have to say:
Don't get me wrong, cyber-bullying can be a real issue. However, on a site that has a mute feature, one would think that if someone is harassing you, muting and ignoring their comments would suffice. It's the internet, the more open you are with people, the more likely it is that someone will use that against you if they don't "like" you. I've had my fair share of boneheads to threaten my personal life because of my open nature on this forum, but I can take the heat.
Ultimately, what I'm getting at is this: Everyone has an opinion, and everyone thinks their opinion is right. If you can't handle someone having a different opinion than you, and you can't handle baseless insults from people you've never met, and never will meet, than you need to have a dose of reality.
