@EmptyNest I know for sure former EmptyNest is reviewing this thread. I speak from experience. Take a break off Fluther for a bit. Come back :) and realize it’s just the internet. Everyone here is just very opinionated and for the most part have the mindset of, “I know a thing or two.” So when they answer questions, they are pretty confident in their stations. However, we all know, that were not being paid to give answers on this site and therefore are not considered professionals, but it doesn’t mean we don’t carry the best intentions. Some people, just like in every day society, are pooty mannered and that’s just how things are. Please come back and realize the good of Fluther far out weighs the negatives. Think about what brought you here in the first place. Was it the questions first? Or the social feel of it? Remember it’s a Question and Answer site, anything could arrive! Honest debates, personal attacks, solid answers with sources, short quick witty answers, trolling, back and forth, great advice, and etc. Just remember when you come back, come back strong with thicker skin, and realize like I have, that you can ask a question that you personally think is legit, but someone else might write it off and answer it like a douche, and on the other hand others might take it seriously and respond whole heartedly. I would recommend asking questions in the black and white sense first, usually that is in the General Section. Slowly gravitate back to social (where most anything could be said as long as it’s not demeaning). Good luck, take your break, see you soon hopefully! Feel free to PM if you want to get some one on one with someone who’s quit before but surely has returned.
