16. Sorry but no-one's bullying you and no-one hates you...

I'll give you some good advice from a veteran of the I/P forum where people 'attacked' me all the time. I 'attacked' back by explaining what was wrong in their post, and not making it ALL ABOUT THEM. It's about standing up for yr views and not expecting wherever you post is going to be some happy-smiley echo chamber. There's people I don't like, and I wouldn't mind seeing them shown the door, but I don't make a big production of it by posting about it because at DU2 it would have been deleted, and secondly I'm aware that everyone probably has one or two folk they don't like, and I'm probably there on one or two shit-lists myself. It's not something worth getting all worked up over, imo...

I wish you would give posting here a try. That way I can see what you mean when you say 'attack'. But most of all you could end up making some valuable contributions
