Do things people say about you on the Nest bother you?

I'll probably get flamed for this, but it does bother me. I've been online long enough to know that "it's just the Internet" and it shouldn't matter, but it hurts my feelings when someone is unkind or rude without provocation. I try not to treat others that way, although I am sure I fail sometimes, and it bothers me when others talk trash about me to my face or otherwise.

So, does it bother you or do you just chalk it up to online BS?

    I haven't had anyone say anything crappy, yet.  What happened?

    No one has said anything about me that I've read yet, but if they did I'd probably be a little upset too.  Not really upset, but it's no fun to read unkind or meanspirited things about yourself. 

    Yes, it's just the internet, but we're only human, right?

    I know how you feel, Jody. I think some people think that since it's the internet, they get carte blanche to be as unkind as they'd like.

    FWIW, I always like to read your posts.

    I don't think people have talked trash about me...  but yeah, it really upsets me when they do about other Nesties.  People are very bold on the internet, say things they wouldn't dare say in real life.  It's kind of like the way drivers treat other drivers on the road, like "I'm never gonna meet you anyway, so...."

     

    The trimester boards these days really upset me.  Some girls are really nasty.

    Not really.  Unless they post a snarky reply to something that I'm asking sincere advice about or I'm just venting.  If there was a specific post directed at me, then I may have an issue, but it's the internet so I chalk it up to online BS. I'd be bothered by it, but I'd just have to deal with it.

    Both.  If I see someone saying something rude to someone else, I try to stick up for them.  I also just ignore some of it.  It's always the same people.  I do always wonder if they are like this on the Net, good lord, what are they like in person??!!

    Online BS.I am a member of several message boards, and this is the only one where you can say what you want without fear of censorship by moderators.  It is refreshing.  I say things here that I would say (and often do) in real life. I'm not one to put on an interwebz front.

    Yes and no. I really only go to my local board (which are a great bunch of ladies who keep it drama and flame free) and then whichever baby/trimester board that is relevant to me.  I did find the trimester and 0-6 to be a bit crazy...which I chalked up to first time mom freak outs and the raging hormones (which I had too, of course).

    I do my best to try and be non judgmental and respectful - even when I disagree. Just because I'm not looking someone in the eye doesn't mean that there isn't a real person at the other end.  There have been a couple of meanies here and there, but I just steam for a couple of hours and then do my best to let it go.

    No.  But I have the thick skin of show business.

    Only if it's someone who's opinion I care about.  For instance if hippy or creampuff or someone like that was outright vicious to me on the nest it would bother me, but that's because I consider them to be real friends. Otherwise, no - not in the slightest.

    It depends and it depends on who it's coming from.  But usually I have a pretty thick skin.

    ONly if its someone I care about. Couldn't care less about what most say.

    I am also the same way I am in person as on here. I don't have an "internet persona."

    Oh...and what you see is what you get from me.  I'm the same IRL.  A little nice, a little snarky, sometimes funny and usually a biitch.

    I don't even see "you're raising brats" as an insult against your children. That's more about you right?

    I don't even care if you go after my kid. Really. She's been called tons of names. She hasn't lost any sleep at night over it yet.
