It's not that i think they shouldn't express an opinion, it's when it seems one or two are being a little mean-spirited for no reason that it bothers me.

Whether or not it was mean-spirited is a fine line, but remembering certain comments on past threads? Yeah, I think it's intent was to be just the slightest bit rude.

I was slammed on the Super Frolic mattered thread and that's fine. I never went back to post on it... why bother? My intent was to simply say he mattered. I had my say so when the insults started flying i left it alone.

I don't go out of my way to post on things that i really have no interest in, just to be rude, like BTW's dunce cap thread. Why bother? We all pick winners and we all suck at times. I'm not gonna go and purposely throw that thread in his face. I'm mean but I'm not that mean.

It's under the surface (here) to me anyway.

If you didn't give a crap about this horse why post at all... you know?

That's the part I don't understand. Someone is feeling devasted..... it's just without class to throw something, some little comment in their face. That's all.

edit - Oh wait a minute, that's not the one I left alone.....
