Lessons Learned on a Forum

These are the lessons that I learned from being a part of a forum. I wrote them down in the order they came to me and did not chang them. Enjoy.

Do not let someone you don’t know tell you who someone else (that you don’t know) is

Stay loyal to your friends, even if they befriend a PERCEIVED enemy.

Keep taking risks; it’s better than building a wall around your heart.

Remember that forgiveness is not only for the benefit of the one you believed wronged you.

Compromising your own value system for the good will end badly 9 out of 10 times

It is possible to be confrontational and civil at the same time

To me, the word B-I-T-C-H stands for: Be In Total Control of Herself…..LMBOOOOOOO

Respect and value people who remain calm in total and utter chaos. They are a necessity during those times

Physically attack me, and although stupid and cruel, you at least gave me the opportunity to look you in the eye. But write mean things about me while incorporating your own sick fantasies into it without even attaching your username; that’s just cowardly and pathetic.

To the minors, be careful what you post on the internet. It may come back to haunt you later on, causing much embarrassment and harm in real life.

With the exception of minors and the mentally ill, people don’t play with your mind. You allow people to play with your mind. And it can still happen to rational mentally sound adults.

Even if you know someone is lying, list to them anyway. You may find points of truth in what they say.

Accept that apologies are not always about who is right and who is wrong. It’s acknowledging the aftermath of a bad situation and a desire to make it better.

You can only hold onto anger for a finite amount of time

Privacy, unlike respect, is a right. There is no need to put personal info out there, even if it is readily available

My blog page is not a democracy. Hateful comments and excessive swearing will not be allowed.

Take care of yourselves out there.
