Concerning your behaviour towards others

by ixthis in

jw
friends

wikipedia has an article on rudeness.. rudeness (also called impudence or effrontery) is a display of disrespectfulness by not complying with the social "laws" or etiquette of a group or culture.

these laws have been established as the essential boundaries of normally accepted behavior.

i have noticed a high level of rudeness in this forum ... i was wondering the why.. what do others consider "rude" behaviour wrt this forum?do others have any thoughts about the obvious rude behaviour?do others have any thoughts if the aggressively rude posters have this personality as a by-product of watchtower indoctrination?if no, what could be causing this aggresion?

Hi everyone! I'm new.

I just wanted to say that I've been on here a number of times in the last couple of weeks. I've enjoyed reading a lot of your experiences! I'm excited for the time when the site decides that I am not a threat and will let me post my story.

But I'm with ixthis. I'm not sure but I think, in particular, she is referring to a post made by someone a few days ago. The post seemed completely sincere but someone who seems to have been on here for a long time made a very rude comment. It was sad. It seemed completely unmerited. Others posted nice things, ixthis being one of them. But others also posted rude things. At least from my vantage point as a newbie, they seemed rude. Maybe it was an inside joke? And I'm not talking about posts to people who are being rude themselves. This person was completely sincere. Again, seemingly.

Anyway, I just want to say, I think you are very kind ixthis. And that, as a newbie, some of the things that have been posted on here HAVE seemed rude. I don't want to start out on this board in a negative way. I just wanted to stand up for ixthis.

Thanks!

Hi Maksym. I'm new. This whole thread made me sad. I've been on here pretty regularly for the past few weeks and I hadn't yet seen any open hostility. Hang in there and good luck.
