Do you ever feel like telling someone off in the Forums?

      No, it is suposed to be civil discussion, it usuly turns away from that. People just have to get personal. But its just opinions. No harm, unless it gets personal, then yes by all means, tell them.

   It's not real life here in the forums, so anything I read that I think is a load of bull I just ignore as it has no place in my thoughts. There are so many Drama Queens in the forums that I think the name should be changed and we should have an actual Drama Queen section. Maybe I should have been born a man but I just don't get how some people get so upset. I love joining in, but also know when to back off as I have much more important issues going on in real life to worry about trivial things on here.

      You had me up to "maybe I should have been born a man" Have you read some of the forums written by men that are just as whiny and dramatic as the women?  I think people get caught up in their emotions and instead of just having a discussion are actually trying to "persuade" others to think like they do. It's really trivial and ego-maniacal. I just remove my emotions from it all and say "Whatever".

   I don't ever feel like telling people off, but I'd really like to call out a few of the drama king & queens, who I think just want a boat load of attention, the whole "I'm leaving hubpages drama" and the "please don't go" attention they get is, I imagine, a bit of an ego boost for them.
   
   Sometimes I just want to say - take a look outside, you are living in the real world, get over it, get on with it & do what you have to do. Quit asking a group of people on the internet if you missed me or will you miss me when I'm gone - I'm sure there is a song already written with these words
   
   The exception to this is people who really DO need our support & congrats in their life events - new babies, new loves, marriage, reaching a hub milestone, etc..and the support one needs in a time of sickness, divorce, etc.

Some things you have to take seriously. I cant say "Whatever if someone is saying I dont have or deserve the same rights as everybody else. Sorry about the drama. Sometimes it's necessary.

          The opposite, I believe I may have publicly humiliated the other person, but after 9 months of reading this person telling porky pies it had to be done.  I was initially as tactful as I could be, then he went for my jugular, and I gave it back to him.  I was not banned because of the way I did it.  It was quite intense for awhile but I believe other forum regulars were pleased it was happening too.  Nonetheless I don't use the forums for a place to bash other people.  But sometimes...........things get heated.
