Sure. I'd rather have that than saying you politely disagree with me and only say "politely" because you're afraid of the confrontation. | |

You know, Animal all people on here are not insincere.
Of course, some might be, but I think most people on here are not. So what if someone offers a complete stranger a hug, a prayer, etc. If it makes them feel better, why do you care? As far as people posting about their personal lives and angst, some people may not have people in their lives that they can open up to regarding their problems. I recently posted something about myself that I don't tell many people. I was feeling REALLY bad that day and opened up about it. Lots of orgers offered words of comfort, encouragement and wisdom and yes hugs. And guess what? Sincere or not it may me feel a lot better. | |

You might say this is just a website, but there are people who have left the site because they didn't want to "argue" anymore. Next time you report someone to a moderator or attack them, just keep in mind it's just a site.  | |

Where did I say they're all insincere? Of course, some might be, but I think most people on here are not.
So what if someone offers a complete stranger a hug, a prayer, etc. If it makes them feel better, why do you care? I care when people do the same to me. Other than that I usually don't care too much unless I know one of the parties involved. As far as people posting about their personal lives and angst, some people may not have people in their lives that they can open up to regarding their problems.
I never said people couldn't. In fact, I said that if people feel the need to express themselves here that's fine. Lots of orgers offered words of comfort, encouragement and wisdom and yes hugs. And guess what? Sincere or not it may me feel a lot better.
That's kinda sad....oh, I have to be PC...let me add IMHO to that. | |

It's okay to be nice et all, but I also do not like the hunnie-/darling-/sweetie-/love you-talk.....I guess I have too much a life IRL.....Sometimes it's just too much 'Pleasantville' here on the Org! But hey, each to his/her own!

After being here for a while it still boggles my mind. You'd think some people over here are the reincarnation of Mother Theresa. I'm not saying you can't be nice to people, but dayum...some just overdo it which makes it look incredibly fake to me. That's one of the reasons I hardly ever post anything personal here. The insincerity would only enrage me. Things don't always happen for a reason, we just make up a reason for them so we can deal with it. Things will not always be alright, not everyone is cute or talented "in their own way". Stop hiding behind the limitations of communicating online, it's entirely possibly I wouldn't like you in real life either. Perhaps I'm just too cynical for this place. 
[Edited 3/3/05 7:51am] if you were sincere yourself, you'd be able to make these comments without hiding behind an alter ego. | |

[Edited 3/3/05 7:51am] cynical might be putting it mildly
Believe it or not, many of us have built up relationships, real friendships. Ones that spill out and off the computer screen and into real life. And seriously, what's wrong with wishing people well, rooting for them, or hoping for the best. You'd probably pet a stray dog, why not show fellow human beings sincerity? .

animal said: Heavenly said: There's something called being nice. being polite. being friendly.
If you know that wishing someone good luck, or letting them hear that you will pray for them, or think of them will make them happy, then why not. I care for the people I interact with. I'm here every day, and spend time with the people here, thus I act towards them the way I act with friends that are close by outside of the net. If showing compassion for someone you interact with is being fake to you, that's your problem. Don't accuse us of being fake, because well, that only means you don't know us, and just plain being rude. Being polite does not include just saying something you don't really mean. I know many are being fake, because I see them say such and such in public, yet make fun of them in PM, org note, IM, email or whatever. I'm not rude for saying what I think of it. I think it would be worse to say something without actually meaning it just to make people feel better about themselves. I'm not going to post a "  " emoticon when someone I've hardly ever interacted with in any way posts about losing a family member and yet one min later be laughing at some stupidity being posted here or get ready to go out and party. How real is that?What is rude/impolite is accusing people of being fake. People you don't even know and can't prove your accusasion. Sometimes even if you don't put one more thought to their problems after you've posted a hug or a prayer, your thoughts are still posted for that person to see, and they will probably make him feel good, knowing you decdicated that minute or two to read and respond. You gave them your time. That itself is a great gesture. You don't want to do it, that's your problem, you feel that doing so is bad, or fake, or whatever, fine. but accusing others of being fake and showing false kindness to me feels very rude. I like to make people smile, and I feel that I'm succeeding with the kind words I leave on their threads. If you don't like that, then you are the one with the problem, not I. | |
