There is always someone ready to try to take someone else down over something or another.

I'm not at all self conscious, or afraid, I'm just fed up with certain members who delight in having a go at things I sometimes post. My health these days is not all that great and I can do without all the nasty, uncalled for, catty remarks that get thrown at you if you post something they don't agree with. At one time I'd have a go back....Now I can't be bothered and ignore them. Also I only post if I have something to add to the conversation, not just to be seen..
