I can see the irritation Ania
I've learnt a lot during my time here and I have come to a point where I hope I can handle things better no matter how irritated I am, lately for instance I have actually bowed out of a thread or not entered in the first place - so, giving things a bit more thought first ........
I recall trying to calm a situation that went on between some members by being lighthearted, I thought to ease tensions, it didn't work, so a lesson learned there - which is fair enough, more people need to give some more thought to things really as some posts are grossly unjustified and unfair.

Re: Internet conversations

I agree, that is why I stay away from subjects like religion or politics that always causes problems. I come here to de stress not get stressed.

Re: Internet conversations

What I have found on internet conversations is that now and again your posts are ignored by some. It's almost as though they are "talking over you". It hasn't happened often, but has happened.

That's a problem with forums it can just be someone misses your post and isn't intentionally ignoring you or they agree with what you say so don't feel the need to add to it. I always think a like button would be good then you would know people have read it !

Re: Internet conversations

I like the idea of a like button. You get to know the people who are on the same wavelength as you and some who are definitely not!!

Re: Internet conversations

I think that a like button would be helpful. I think the nearest thing to that is a "reputation button".. where you can add good rep to a poster.. I have seen that on some forums, but it was used in a negative way sometimes
