Point well taken - you are so sweet and kind to think of others in this manner.

I'll second that.

Hi I was the victim of cruel comments and I chose to ignore them. I feel that they don't like themselves very much and have to bring you down to make themselves feel better. Just ignore them and concentrate on the wonderful people here that are helpful generous supportive and kind. Don't let a few spoil it for the many that are out there who are not like those few. I almost stopped comming here because of it and then I thought why let a few spoil it for me. Thanks for letting me ramble. Suzanne

Well said. And I think 99.9% think the same. It is so much nicer to hear and say positive things.

And here we go again. It is always a small percentage who criticize. I don't know why they do what they do and at this stage of my life I really don't care. I refuse to let their problems become mine. I have enough going on in my own life to have to deal with mean, petty comments directed at me. Grow up and try to remember... What goes around comes around. To those who have been the recipients, I feel for you and hope you don't judge the whole site by a few negative people.

Yes, people tend to get brave behind a keyboard. If some of the things were said face to face, I think people would have more than 'hurt feelings'. LOL

My mother always said to me that when someone was being mean and critical to me....they were letting someone else....rest!

I've found that people who are mean here are probably mean everywhere they go.

Marthie, I'm NOT trying to be 'smart' but am reminded that on one of the "Big Bang Theory" episodes, Sheldon quoted to Leonard with "and manewar attracts more flies". BUT it is a shame that many people did not learn the lesson, if you can't say something good about a person, say nothing at all!!

I was really really grumpy last week but I would never take my grumpiness out on someone who gives so much, especially embroidery designs. To get over my grumpiness I talked to a very good friend and gave her all my grumps and felt much better. My friend was happy to help me.

I also was taught if you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all. If you have something to say which is actually constructive and useful, then say it in such a way as to be kind when you say it. I think someone said hand out a little criticism with two heaping portions of praise. I haven't been on this site very long, but I have already been helped so many times, even if it wasn't a question I myself asked. And the designs by cuties have been wonderful and all the digitizers in the family have been so generous. Mean-spirited people should just be ignored.
