I’m in a fb group with a lot of aggressive people in our area (a bunch of techies). One day one of the admins lost her #%#%, sick of it all and went on a huge, swearing rampage (I don’t blame her at all; I could not do that job). That behavior is everywhere.
I don’t want to exit the group, and I just found out you can block people in the group you’re not friends with. One of my neighbors told me. He was getting mean comments just for asking a plumbing question (I saw it). I don’t know what is wrong with people. |
Thank you very much, key tones. I know, it really does seem like an odd bit of time lately! A few weeks of...yucky vibes, in general.
I was the admin of the art group with over 3,000 members. For some reason I still don't understand (and have stopped trying to) a small group of members turned on me one day and were horribly cruel. I feel confident that I was doing a good job as admin of the Fb group, and my feeling has been validated by many members. So I'm darned if I know why those few people became so hostile and bullying.
Oh - anyway, I resigned as admin. There are just too many times when my mentally ill brain cannot handle such a responsibility.
I have never understood why so many people are so mean online, and often it is about a simple, basic question or comment. I suppose many people are just angry at their lives, so get online and blast people. It's the sad downside of the internet.
