I have been a member of this web site since December, 2005 and I am getting to the point that I hate to check in due to other members' negative attitude. I have bad days also but I don't lash out at others. My attitudes can be as bad as the next person but I chose to control it. So on that note if you are going to communicate with me please do it on a positive level are keep your thoughts to yourself. If posting this cause me to lose my priviledges as a member so bet I am a human being and I deserve respect and will and shall stand up if I feel I am not being respected. I know sometimes life give you lemons but you have to make lemonade. I know sometimes the road is rough, I am a cancer and a heart attack survivor but i still have a positive attitude toward other so from this day forward please remember the thought for today. If you can't say something nice about someone then don't say nothing.

I agree, which is why I've been making a concerted effort lately to weed out people who never have anything nice to say. I didn't construct Lottery Post so that some person with a chip on their shoulder has a place to vent their frustrations.
If you notice someone always posting negative stuff, send me a PM about it, and include some of the links.

Attitudes are choices... Not sure why someone would want to live such a miserable life.. But that is their choice.. Why they want others to live it with them is beyond me.
I have a lot of negative low self esteem children in my classroom. They wake each day telling themselves it is a horrible day because they have to go to school. They have no idea how lucky they are that they are able to get up out of the bed PERIOD...

Bell:
I spent about a year reading the threads and participating in the forums a lot. In all that time I can honestly say I never saw anyone attacked verbally except once, someone calling someone else a stupid so an so.
Never saw it from anyone after the first indication they were the sort to do that, I'd best add, after Todd installed the BLOCK feature. Before then I saw a fair amount of that sort of thing.
But I'm a Plat Member same as you. I have an unlimited BLOCK capacity. Which I used liberally.
Negative folks, as well. Anytime I saw a person making consistently negative posts I blocked them.
At the same time, I extended an open invitation to anyone who found me objectionable to block me so's they didn't have to read my posts.
The result was a long, pleasant stay during my LP time. I have no idea how much negative interchange and fighting went on, didn't care. I was oblivious.
As a PM you can make yours the same pleasant experience.

I agree the block feature is one of the best things going on here..
I avoid several negative people this way and it makes my stay here at LP more pleasant..
I highly recommend it to anyone who doesn't like crap that sometimes go on here..
