A message for Petralicious

[Margo319]

Fantod,

The world is really, really horrible right now.  If someone is pissing you off or just being annoying, erase them from your life, on the internet or off.  Delete. Block.  It's just not worth it, obsessing about some anonymous human.  You can't control people, that poster will do whatever they want, but you can control your own narrative.  What you allow WILL continue.  So... maybe stop allowing it? I think you'll be happier.  

And just for the record, that poster has sent private messages that were racist, sexist, homophobic, and extremely xenophobic.  Why waste energy with a person like that?

"I really do miss what this off topic forum used to be."

I participate in one other board and you can probably guess what it is by my screen name - lol. The OT subjects are the ones that seem to bring out all the fighting, name calling and nastiness on that board. It seems to me that the original idea of an particular board is where the posting is the most civil. I am not saying there should be not OT part of a board but everyone needs to remember when you start talking politics things will get heated and sometimes ugly.

"Petra and Broadway Concierge are like bad panto villains who can't get work anymore so just spew nonsense to gain the attention they do desperately lack in the outside world. "

If you don't like them and don't respond to their posts than you are not giving them attention. They also did not create this thread which appears to be created for the sole purpose of bashing a particular poster.

I believe that  every chat board, no matter what the subject, turns into what we have here on the OT board. In my life, I've participated in about 5 different boards, and also have spoken to friends about them. I've learned that on boards ranging from drums, to curly hair, to tv shows, to sports, to celeb personalities, etc., it's all the same.

It's because the boards are a slice of life, with all different kinds of people. It will never change. So I'd say, deal with it, or leave these boards!
