i agree.

sometimes i let myself get really bothered by stuff i see online and don't pay attention to the fact that, just like IRL, i can walk away or choose not to read or take part. sometimes being online seems scarier than RL but sometimes it seems safer...i sort of go back and forth between those two.

i don't like putting someone on ignore so i sometimes have to wait until whatever it is they're saying falls down enough on the forums for me to look around that forum again although usually i just avoid that thread and i'm okay.

the main thing i try to do though, is remember that we're all human with our good and bad days and that we're not all going to be thinking exactly alike so there are bound to be things that upset me...if i try to remember that my feelings are hurt because of the POST and not the POSTER than i generally feel better sooner and am able to still get along with that person.

just my thoughts...i have no clue if i'm on the right track with what you were saying, Sarah, but this is what it made me think of!
