Winni I hear ya too, as do many others.
I am and have been pretty scarce on this board too, not because of most of you folks here who truly rock!
Life is challenging enough and I myself utilize this board for, among other reasons, an escape.
Most of us come here for obvious reasons and for me personally, when the few stupid people (YES I said stupid!!) who thrive on bringing drama, negative vibes and the "damn-it-to-hell-I'm-gonna-prove-my-point-because-I'm-right" insecurity issues here, well, it just isn't worth it to me to come here or any other message board which behaves that way for that matter. When I feel I have to pause on what I want to express here due to possible attack comments by others, then it is time for me personally to move along elsewhere.
Some folks just don't learn, or they refuse to learn, no matter how you try to approach them over the years- with subtlety, humor, niceness or down-right meanness; they just keep on acting the same way no matter how you respond. And when the few like-minded knuckleheads get
together and pull the juvenile gang-up crap on an issue they feel isn't ....whatever, well my tolerance for that type of stuff is negative zero. And I am only referring to folks I can count on one hand. Perhaps they just spent too many years doing things to kill their own brain cells and don't comprehend when to use a personal filter for their own comments on a message board. I dunno...
So if those things happen to escalate here I can always find other ways to participate with those who feel the same way about Jamaica and will express it with positivity and a go-with-the-flow attitude when it comes to differing opinions. And I do like it here!
For the rest of you cool folks - thanks for keeping it real and making this a really great message board!
