Deep breaths, here, Hattie! This isn't worth your blood pressure...Haven't you ever joined a club, attended a new church or gotten a new job? There is ALWAYS somebody who is looking for slights, and you never know whom you're going to piss off and why.

The beauty of the internet community is that you can click on "block this member" on the message page, and you don't have to put up with them anymore.

If you are abused in a post, you can click on "flag as inappropriate" and go about your business.

Wouldn't it be nice if we could do that in the offline world?

As far as I know, nobody has "thunder" on this site. It's just a bunch of interesting people who gather round the coffee pot and chat. What did you do anyway?

Dear Michael,

Sorry,am so late answering you.I really can't comment much,they will be reading my answer.If you can't be nice just keep it to yourself!I'll be ready for them next time. Thanks for caring!

Hattie, any message you get from a TBD member that is offensive -- and it certainly sounds like you got offended -- you should hit the "flag as inappropriate" link and let us know. The sender will not know you did this. Also, you can block any member from contacting you again. If you have any concerns, send a message to our community guide, her picture is on your profile page.
