Reply #22: I disagree

I think what was done was shameful. No matter what the objects of scorn did, there was no excuse. I didn't always agree with everything they said, and they could be downright antagonistic. I know there was reason for many to have a legitimate beef with them. But it doesn't excuse it.

We aren't all nice all of the time. That is true. We get angry, and say things out of spite. But what happened in the lounge was different. This went outside all of those threads. Hurtful posts were made just to hurt. Not to advance any point that was discussed. There is no excuse for that. Those posts made me feel just like Skinner described. It was junior high bullshit. I feel guilty enough that I kept my mouth shut most of the time and said nothing while it was happening. I was a chicken because I was afraid I'd get turned on and snarked at as well. There was no excuse for that, either. I should have said something then.
