    Lack of Civiity

    in General Discussion Forum

    My brain and fingers didn't want to communicate correctly while typing this out so corrections were needed.

    This is a general statement, not directed at anybody. Civility is very subjective. And the fact is, we're all hyprocrites. When we think someone's being uncivil to us, we're often focussed on the other person and rarely looking back at ourselves to see what we could have done better. When we say something and someone gets upset, oh well they're being too sensitive and shouldn't have been offended. But when they say something and we get upset, it's a different story. They're so uncivil. It needs to go both ways. We have so many different personalities and cultures coming together. Yeh we talk based on who we are and what we know, but the other part is learning about others and learning how to get along with people even if they might not be like us or think the way we do.

    This was so beautifully and may I say perfectly said! No one is perfect. The one incredibly blessed and beautiful part about these forums is the diversity of culture that comes together. We all have something to contribute in some way or other. Even if it is just to be an observer or reader of thoughts, feelings and opinions being expressed here.

    To the OP: For the most part no one here is uncivil. Being blunt is different than not being civil.

    It's funny how hard it can be to admit something about ourselves that may ruffle our own feathers. I will admit something about me though. There have been times in the past I've taken something personally from what is said here. It will upset me. I'm not perfect. I try to live my life humbly, but goodness I know I'm not perfect. Far...far from it! When I find myself taking things a bit too seriously here, I will take a break from the forums. I come back and reread what was said with new perspective that way. One thing I will never allow myself do is feed into toxicity. I will pull myself out of a conversation if it takes that turn for my own well being. Did I find some of the things you've said insulting since I'm disabled in rl? Yes, I have. I know it is best to just let it go though.  Why I force myself to do these things is because I'm very imperfect and human. I just know when enough is enough for me personally.

    I wouldn't call the people here uncivil, just bluntly honest. There is a huge difference. I will take their truthful bluntness any day over accusations and insults. This is a generalized statement by the way. My own perspective.

    Sometimes you have to learn to let things go and it seems you have a really hard time doing that.

    Curiosity about why people are here in the forums.

    I came to these forums because I've always been a seeker of knowledge and avid reader. Forums are a wonderful resource full of helpful and useful information if one makes the effort to look. I remained as an avid reader out of interest. I sometimes comment because I feel compelled to when I can contribute something or I've really enjoyed something someone has posted. That is it really.

    It has taken me (Lyrical) months to actually fully switch and settle into my new account as well as getting around to finding ideas of how to decorate the front and back garden of our cabin. I've only gotten started, but I'm just glad it is finally a beginning. Very small beginning, but a beginning none the less! (Sorry for the not so great photo.)

    In the little over a year I've lived in Bellisseria, I've only had one home where I had a bit of lag. Sadly it was in my Victorian home. All the rest have been lag free. Even the surrounding areas when I've gone boating, bike riding, roller skating, horse back riding, or exploring on foot. 

    I'm sorry you're having lag issues. I hope you can figure out what is causing you to lag so you can enjoy Belli and your home.

    Mummy and Daughter time with Wednesday while I was trying to figure out what to do with our back garden. I seem to have the toughest time to figure out what to do with the outside of any home I've had and the decorating always comes months after being settled in.
