@Joe Bryant That's just horrendous, so sorry you have to deal with that when you are providing a forum that's a loss leader at best. Even if it was a cash cow there's no place where this is acceptable.That, and how miserable do you have to be to believe that sort of thing is acceptable?Everyone knows moderating is a thankless job. But I’m not sure most really understand the full picture. It’s one thing for people to message me, they'd like to “slit my throat” or warn me I better hope “I don't leave my children unattended” or message me asking if “trying to recommend a good taxidermist” replying to the news my mother had died. All unfortunately real things that have happened here.
I’ve heard you mention these things and it just sickens me to hear. Nothing I could say would do much good because they’re already heard statements and somebody deliberately said them. But I feel like lodging a public objection to anti-social and debased sentiments like these is important. Sorry you had to hear that, Joe. As if grief weren’t enough to deal with. It’s almost unspeakable, and we don’t accept that behavior from anybody nor think it’s in the realm of acceptability.
I am really sad about the state of our society here and abroad. How'd it all get so bad and fall apart so quick?
Edit to add: Please no one answer that as it will end up going down a bad path which I didn't intend, just raw feelings when I posted
