I love Ebay and the blogs have helped me so much, at times when I needed someone to talk to. Lately though, it is like there are "cliques" and some people just do not fit in. It is like reading about a "soap opera" and all the dramatic changes you see on them. I don't get good feelings about the poster, when I read some of the comments and have seen that kind of thing over and over.
Sometimes I wonder why people like to do that.
I have seen a profile of myself in some of the conversations in the past. It is obvious who is being talked about because of the "clues" that are given out. I have seen assumptions, accusations, and people called various names. To me, it is the same thing as posting someone's ID without the right to do that. It is so sad that adults play those games.
I have read old posts and yes, I have formed my own opinions. People make silly mistakes and next thing you know, they are being ridiculed, made fun of and the become the object of "fun teasing". Actually, those who are doing the damage are hurting themselves as they make their remarks. They are showing their true self.
I don't care to be a part of that kind of thing. My mother always taught me to not make fun of people, no matter what. It is rude and feelings get hurt. If you don't like something, walk away from it...ignore it...let it go...and eventually the person will get the hint and quit doing whatever it is that bothers you...or at least that is what you need to hope for.
People make mistakes. They do now and have in the past many times...and it will happen again tomorrow. I know I make my fair share on a daily basis. I am not perfect and will never claim to be. The one thing I don't do is make fun of anyone. And, I don't try to hurt anyone. It doesn't feel very good and I know that from first hand experience.
I form my own opinions. Still, those that seem to want to keep poking fun become the ones that I feel are the problem. Ebay isn't what it once was.
