I like the Mudcat cafe, and drop in two or three times a day. I am familliar with the way quite a lot of people communicate here, and hope that people are beginning to get to know me.
If I explore a thread that is not initiated by someone whom I have got to know, and the content appears negative, I come out of that thread without reading it. I know what I want out of this site, and it isn't to get all upset and angry because some stranger is enjoying pressing GO buttons.
I am still very ashamed about the way I responded to Harpgirl's thread about women only Hearme, and people got very upset in the end.
I am now VERY selective about the threads I read and get involved in.
