kriadydragon | People Need to Learn to Just Chill

Sometimes I really wonder about people. I came across a venting post the other day, and the issue the author was venting about totally steamed my blood. The author of the post was kind enough to allow me to put up a link that I might get other people's take on the situation.

This way, to the rudeness!

What do you all think? Personally, I saw absolutely no reason for that kind of treatment, especially toward a person who was new to LJ. I remember what it was like when I first established a journal on LJ. Being non-net savy, it took me a while to get the hang of all the features and understand what most of the rules were talking about. During that time - being the self-conscious person that I am - I was quite nervous every time I posted or replied, wondering if I may have broken a rule or violated some law of netiquette.

Had I been treated that discourteously, I would have left LJ, plain and simple. I don't handle confrontation well and am the kind of person that will walk away rather than put up with the grief. Seeing it happen to others, especially new-comers, really, really irritates the crap out of me. Whether in the right or in the wrong, there is no reason to be so dang blasted rude like that.
