I'm barely around anymore, so maybe I'm losing the thick skin required to survive here, but people seem mean lately.

Posted by all the presdients love mandy lane (aka amanda) Feb 17 '09, 11:49

I'm kind of glad I'm not around much anymore. why so hateful, people? just ignore who you hate, don't be openly rude just to start something. it's so easy.

it makes it unpleasant for passers-by to see the stink of venom spewed needlessly at others.

I'm not altogether pleased with how the HSX treated us in the end, and I'm so grateful for bery for having made this place, but what it's devolved into is far worse than putting up with the HSX's policing.

where's all the hate coming from? I think I'm going back the the HSX.

I'm barely around anymore, so maybe I'm losing the thick skin required to survive here, but people seem *mean* lately.
