It's not mean if people would see beyond their own little worlds.
By the way, the fact that some of the "rude" comments are from long time members of this group - it's not because they are arrogant but they have seen the same ridiculous posts before and some people just like poking fire, out of their own boredom.
Note that these long time members can recognize a troll by the way the poster writes, etc. That comes from experience in being on this forum longer than the newbies.
That is why whenever there is criticism, we should always look to see the bigger picture, find out the background to the situations before jumping to conclusions. To those who assume that the old timers without verifying or getting their facts straight - it's not the old timers' problem. People should learn to get a life. The world does not revolve around them. It revolves around no one individually but all of us collectively.
And another thing about the oldies using harsh words on each other - that's actually just banter. Don't take things personally. Many of them actually know each other.
Some are just plain crazy and nasty but it takes all sorts to make the world. Looking on the bright side - it's always best to be faced with a difficult situation, get over it / overcome and become a stronger person.
/To those who object to being names "oldies" - get a life... I mean, please. :0)
