In reply to Admin threads making me hurt, posted by partlycloudy on June 12, 2005, at 7:02:34
PC,
I know what you mean about reading admin. I really never post there, so I don't feel like I "belong" there the way I "belong" here and fit in here on social. But sometimes I READ over there, and it often makes my blood BOIL.I mean, I get so irritated at certain posters and I want to write them a flame-o-gram telling them just how darn annoying they are; asking them just to "stop", asking them to go away.
But I resist the urge. I tell myself it would be inappropriate, childish, and would just result in a rebuke (well deserved) from the deputies. I know rationally that certain people may just be a certain way, and can't really "help" being the way they are, or that they get something important to them from the kinds of posts that they write. And from multitudes of posts.
Yet I'm drawn to admin, kind of the way I "like" to look at car wrecks when the traffic slows to a crawl. It's intriguing in a sickening sort of way.
Now I don't mean that ALL posts on admin are like this. Some of them are interesting and casual. And I don't think any of the posters here on social are the ones who annoy me. I'm not trying to make any veiled barbs at anyone here. So please, anyone reading here, don't think that I'm trying to flame YOU. I'm not!
Probably I shouldn't even post THIS. THIS is probably childish and inappropriate. But I just want to let you know that I agree with you, PC! Admin can be a lesson in self-control.
How about just not reading it? Ignoring the posts that disturb you? Just completely ignoring them? (Easier said than done, I know!)
I feel for you. :)
take care of yourself!
