Some people are just in a negative place and spew their negative energy.
Some don't know the difference between being negative and providing constructive criticism.
Some are just looking to mess with you.
Being part of forums you can't pick/choose your friend group, if you will, so you have to deal with the haters on some level.
Behavioral psych perspective, just ignore them, they usually stop commenting. They get energized by being polarizing and disruptive. They want you to be p/o and they want you to respond. If you don't play their game, they stop playing, and look for other participants.
By playing their game, I/we, really enable their behavior. Positive reinforcement.
Interesting way to put it but, point taken.
Well, it's kind of like the folks that never get out of the left lane on the highway, and then they complain when someone gets around them on the right and then labels that person as aggressive. One action causes a reaction.....and so on. But both of those folks are expressing an opinion. There can be teaching and learning opportunities in every conversation and action/reaction.
It's like trying to untangle a calf from the fence, and you get kicked in the balls. Do you think the calf learned anything from the experience....LOL? But then do you just leave the next calf tangled because of your last experience?
I believe that was the point of his example.
... and opinions are never wrong. They're just opinions.
No, the way it was written is the guy passing was supposed to be there because of the misunderstanding by most that the left lane is the "fast" lane when in fact it's not...
I’ll unpack that a little, the concept they set up here is awesome, administrators and mods as real people. Makes for the best chance of setting up an online community, I’m not sure how you can’t respect what’s been done and who’s doing it. (Obviously some will anyway) What I was saying is more than likely at some point and investment group will make an offer that can’t be refused and this site will be sold. One by one all the moderators will be replaced and I’ve even seen it where the moderators have no affiliation or even knowledge of what the site is about.
That's part of the problem.......people shouldn't feel like they have to change who they are just to have a conversation........on the internet or in person.
The left lane is supposed to be the "passing" lane.......regardless how fast it is. In a lot of states it's actually illegal to sit in the left lane when not passing. But if they aren't going to enforce that, then it's never going to change. My wife asked a younger driver one time if they were teaching that in driver's ed these days, and they said "Wait........you mean that's a passing lane". If you point that out to people these days, they don't learn from that......they just get offended, and continue to drive only in the left lane. It's so bad I often wonder how any of these people ever "get off" the interstate. Not many left turns off of interstates. You'd think they HAVE to get into the right lane eventually.
Spending 4 months in Germany driving in the Autobahn taught me to stay out of that left lane unless you were passing someone and doing it really quick. I will give the Germans credit, they know what the left lane is for.That's part of the problem.......people shouldn't feel like they have to change who they are just to have a conversation........on the internet or in person.
