Have you been burned on boards?

This is bit of a social experiment.

We are all (hopefully) adults here on Boards, ( sometimes I think that the definition of ‘adult’ can be wildly disputed.)

I have recently had a bad burn on Boards and in my retort I feel like I replicated the effects on my sparring partner. I don’t think either of us felt good afterwards, as neither of us have been ‘active’ since. I don’t feel good about my comments, it wasn’t like me at all, I became something that I am not, and I really regret them. I know that for days afterwards I ruminated about feelings on both sides.

Sometimes I think we adults need to be treated like children. We forget sometimes the effect our words can have on others. I think Boards is filled with flippant comments and attitudes that wouldn’t be shown face to face.

There are many, many people here who have been ‘burned’ or upset by a comment, personal or otherwise that were leveled at them. Maybe if the feelings behind them were exposed that we’d have a little more empathy towards our fellow posters. This is true across all social media platforms.

WITHOUT NAMING NAMES, keeping things as anonymous as possible, with the general gist maybe of a comment, maybe posters could post how they felt about a said comment and the effects it had on them....

Must have been some comment you threw at them since you've only made 2 posts. And this is your 2nd..

Point proven. This place is full of people who don’t give a s h 1 t about what they say or their effects on others. Good luck to you.

You're right about that. Most of the time I second guess if it's worth posting because about 9/10 times you just get ****ty responses. Depends where you post though.

I've been accused of being an impostor. Some say I'm older than I say I am (21).

Don't know why they think that.

People also think I'm a troll but that's just because I have aspergers and sometimes think and speak in a quirky way.

Tell me how

This is meant to be a genuine thread.

This place is full of people who get offended by the slightest jokey comment. If his comment offended you, I have news for you. You're not on the wrong site. You're in the wrong country. I'd try Sweden.

The scary people who try to hunt down your personal life and send dodgy PM’s after forensically going through your post history are far worse than someone who slags you off in a post. There’s an alarmingly high number of them on here.

I'm always amazed by the people who remember which threads you posted on and what you said. I can barely be interested to see what someone said in the previous page
