Every member is responsible for his or her own behavior. If someone is "making a few jabs" and then is surprised at getting a "few jabs" back and sees that as "negativity," well, it's not surprising to me. Karma is as karma does.

Be supportive and you'll receive support in return.

Act aloof and uncaring, or try and cover or gloss over another's pain with humor or a snide remark, and you'll get it in return. Why should that surprise anyone?

I don't expect anyone to be perfect here, nor everyone to have a good day every day. Those are unrealistic expectations. But I do expect everyone here to try and treat one another as they themselves would like to be treated. It's a simple thought, but one I wish we would all remember when we feel like saying something snarky or unsupportive next time.

Life is too short for playing games with others. Life is too short for spending energy or time on negativity or revenge or treating others badly.

Please, take care, and take care of one another. That's what we're here for. Nothing else.
