Location: Qld Australia | It is coming up to the new year and I have a request for my BB's here on BHW as a New Years Resolution.
I have noticed lately a lot of rude personal attacks on this board. People seem to be getting quicker and quicker with their insults and then boast about 'telling it as it is', or 'just saying' etc. Almost as if they are proud of being downright rude and insensitive.
As a group, can I please ask that we take a moment to think and take a breath before we post if we are starting to get heated up over something on this board.
Also, I will add a disclaimer just in case I have managed to annoy any of you with this request; I have not based this request on any one poster!!!! If I have quoted words that have posted in the last month or so, I am not AIMING this at you because believe it or not, probably 20 other BB's have posted the exact same words!
Thank you to all my BHW friends for considering this request and hopefully taking it on board.

Please lets stay positive and be nice to each other.

You can not control how others act/respond to certain suggestions/comments......it's human nature to become upset with things like that. I've come to realize that it will happen, just smile and be nice......unless it's trash talking my horse or my child then the claws come out! LOL
I agree, it would be nice to see everyone get along....but in reality it's going to be rare to see that. Just my observation. | |

Location: Displaced Iowegian | ~~I, personally, have a little bit of a different “take” on your post………… 1. This is a PUBLIC board – it is hard (next to impossible) to control someone else’s thought and opinions. 2. If you (“general” plural use of the word ”you”) post a question, opinion, or controversial statement, perhaps, you should not be surprised if it does illicit comments that fall into the Good, Bad, or Ugly category. (Refer to #1) 3. If you feel that you are not able to process or ignore the “Bad or Ugly” comments, perhaps you should refrain from commenting until you feel more confident. 4. If, at any given time, you do feel the “need” to resort to personal attacks or name calling, perhaps, you should look in the mirror to ensure that you have NEVER been guilty of the same sin (i.e. Those who live in glass houses, should not throw stones OR Judge not lest YOU be judged). 5. If, at any given time, you STILL feel the “need” to attack or call names, perhaps, you should not be surprised if the person you attack jumps in your “Rose Garden” and stomps all over your pretty flowers! 6. If, at any given time, you DO feel your “panties (shorts or whitey-tightys) in a wad”, perhaps you should step away from the computer and change your underwear. 7. If, at any given time, you feel the “need” to tell someone what they should or should not, what they can or can not post, or where they should “go”, perhaps, you need to check your name tag to see if it reads “owner” or “mod” of BHW. 8. If, at any given time, you feel the “need” to “fabricate” a story or your life history, please be assured that there are many sleuths and detectives on BHW who will “ferret out” the TRUTH. So try not to be “offended”. 9. If you are a "right fighter" (one who will fight to the death to prove you, and you alone, are RIGHT), perhaps, you may want to schedule your appointment with Dr. Phil soon! PS..............my appointment is Friday at 4 PM........ 10. If your thread goes “south”, don’t whine and cry to the “mods”. Walk away, with dignity, with lesson learned….Refer to Rule # 1 11. When all else fails………………ALWAYS Refer to Rule #1 I type this all in “tongue in cheek” BUT if it offends you, you are probably guilty of one or more of the above....WE ALL ARE GUILTY ! ! ! ! ! | |

Location: That part of Texas | I agree with what you said but I don't think these types of posts generally work towards getting us to that point. It's kind of like when a guy will say "Don't be mad" and that only seems to make it worse because while you were actually cooling down, that one statement alone can pi** you off all over again and put you back to where you were before.
On another board that I moderate on, we have a few members who will just start posting pictures of hot looking guys/girls (depending on the poster) and that seems to cool stuff down or divert things better than anything else. That might work here or just posting pictures of good looking studs . . . or shiny things for people like LQHRS and me . . .  | |

Whenever I feel agitated or combative I like posting about food and getting FC and TXBO to chime in. It works every time with me. FC is my "go-to person" when it comes to food. Food is a great tranquilizer.
If I find myself slipping into a real vicious adversarial relationship with someone I often eventually try to look for something about which we are in agreement, or something about them that I respect. It's happened many times to me. In the end, I try to remind myself and others that sometimes I get into the most heated arguments with people I love the most. | |

Location: Washington | I am B A C K.....feeling GREAT! Nothing like a great swim to make you feel exhilarated to take on the day!
Here is what I say to everyone on BHW. This board is what 13 years old? Many of us here have been here since it's start. There is a wealth of knowledge here, agree to disagree, move on unless your certain it will get someone killed then fight the good fight.
Many of us are friends outside this cyber space....and we have each other's backs. Pretty sure this is what anyone would do for a friend. Our barrel advice has been given freely and willingly for over 12 years, we educated masses and are proud of that fact. The fact we don't chime in as often simply means we feel like we are being redundant. Most know what we have said in the past to same question.
Respect is earned and just because you don't know our track record don't assume.
Also when one trys to tell us we are wrong when asking for advice, it just get's you started down a dark path, when here on BHW it should be a path of enlightenment and if nothing else cyber friendship.
DO we need everyones approval, no. But we expect to be treated with a civil typing of your fingers. You get what you dish out.
Scott as always has typed out a great way to get along. If we can't agree on the horse front, find another path.
SO what is everyone doing for New Year's eve?

Location: Qld Australia | Just to clarify - I have not asked everyone to get along, or everyone to agree with each other - if that was the case how boring would BHW be.
My request is simply that we try to not personally insult each other. A lot of threads end up being a slanging match lately and I have noticed a few people seem to take pride in insulting others.
Go on, press the dislike button, I can take it. This post seems more dislikeable than a thank you post which got dislikes so looks like I am on a roll.

Thanks Denise , I think your pretty darn nice too, but I do get my fair shares of dislikes too, but I could care less now, at first it did bug me but now I think its funny cause I pretty much figured out who they are, their the Drama LLamas of BHW so now I can use this little fellow, I think hes pretty cute

~~I, personally, have a little bit of a different “take” on your post…………
1. This is a PUBLIC board – it is hard (next to impossible) to control someone else’s thought and opinions.
2. If you (“general” plural use of the word ”you”) post a question, opinion, or controversial statement, perhaps, you should not be surprised if it does illicit comments that fall into the Good, Bad, or Ugly category. (Refer to #1)
3. If you feel that you are not able to process or ignore the “Bad or Ugly” comments, perhaps you should refrain from commenting until you feel more confident.
4. If, at any given time, you do feel the “need” to resort to personal attacks or name calling, perhaps, you should look in the mirror to ensure that you have NEVER been guilty of the same sin (i.e. Those who live in glass houses, should not throw stones OR Judge not lest YOU be judged).
5. If, at any given time, you STILL feel the “need” to attack or call names, perhaps, you should not be surprised if the person you attack jumps in your “Rose Garden” and stomps all over your pretty flowers!
6. If, at any given time, you DO feel your “panties (shorts or whitey-tightys) in a wad”, perhaps you should step away from the computer and change your underwear.
7. If, at any given time, you feel the “need” to tell someone what they should or should not, what they can or can not post, or where they should “go”, perhaps, you need to check your name tag to see if it reads “owner” or “mod” of BHW.
8. If, at any given time, you feel the “need” to “fabricate” a story or your life history, please be assured that there are many sleuths and detectives on BHW who will “ferret out” the TRUTH. So try not to be “offended”.
9. If you are a "right fighter" (one who will fight to the death to prove you, and you alone, are RIGHT), perhaps, you may want to schedule your appointment with Dr. Phil soon!
PS..............my appointment is Friday at 4 PM........
10. If your thread goes “south”, don’t whine and cry to the “mods”. Walk away, with dignity, with lesson learned….Refer to Rule # 1
11. When all else fails………………ALWAYS Refer to Rule #1
I type this all in “tongue in cheek” BUT if it offends you, you are probably guilty of one or more of the above....WE ALL ARE GUILTY ! ! ! ! !
LIKE!! By the way... When I read this you had 16 likes and 17 dislikes so I evened it up with 17 likes. 
While we don't always agree and have been into some pretty heated arguments/debates, I have yet to get my big girl undies in a wad because I couldn't take it. My philosophy is if you can't take it, don't dish it. If you don't like what's being discussed, don't read it and especially don't comment if you can't handle what others say. Someone will always disagree.
Let's see how many dislikes I can get for this.  | |
