After Harassment From One Member I have Decided to leave this Gro

[Guest guest]

Yes, Anna, group behavior can be weird.

On the other hand, one can choose to ignore the parts one does

not like, and enjoy the other parts.

There is no law on earth that says you have to open an email.

 

This group has taken several turns since its inception. From

time to time, people have arrived who know everything and whose

opinions are inviolate.

 

I'm one of those, of course <grin>. Okay, I don't know

*everything*, but I know pretty darn much, and I do have my own

opinions, and you can tell me yours but, in all likelihood, I

will just add whatever you say to the body of knowledge I have

accumulated over years, and stick to what I believe in.

 

There's no reason anyone else here cannot do the same.

ofcourse...you are absolutely right...

 

what i dont get is why someone would spend days talking about leaving..

 

ive left groups i didnt like....it took me all of 5 seconds to hit the

leave group button...i didnt write letters explaining myself or

arguing a point or defaming anyone...(my flameouts were during

discussions).....when i got tired of the people i would just

disappear.

 

as for group psych....the anonymity is what allows for the more nasty

behavior..and it doesnt get more anonymous than the internet. A person

has to really work at being fair and kind...cuz if you dont even the

most neutral of comments gets misconstrued. This goes to writer and

reader.

 

at any rate...i maintain that we choose our attitude so choose a

pleasant one....and if youre unhappy just leave...no one really

cares....so why should you (figuratively speaking of course).

 

peace

lol, This made me chuckle..... " took me all of 5 seconds to hit the leave group

button " . I too have left groups with neary a mention, only a click.

 

LOL... One does have to wonder why a person would make such a " dramatic

exit " ..
