I asked the moderators to close my account. The snark on this forum has continued to rise, which seems to reflect society at large!

Good luck.
 
Hello, it upsets me someone feels sad about what happens here.
Strangers hurting each other.
Internet can make people lose the courtesy we would have face to face.

The trouble is too, people think we know, but we don’t REALLY know what other people are going through or have been through, and we don’t always know what’s hurting them, or what’s best for them,

I hope I can be sensitive and understanding in CAF without being intrusive or didactic.

All the very best, Mardi
 
If CAF is upsetting you, definitely better to stop frequenting it. I know many people feel the same way about Facebook.
 
I am sorry to hear that. I have enjoyed reading your posts and agree or not, I respect your points of view. Good Luck to you, as well. Peace be with you.
 
Best of luck on your way!

We’ll do our best to hold off the barbarians.
 
There is another alternative. There is an ignore feature. When you see comments you don’t like, put ignore on that person. You’ll find that there are actually only a few you will probably need to do that with before you notice the stress goes down.

It’d be a shame if you had to leave.

Good luck with your decision.
 
Oh, and I don’t think CAF allows one to close an account. You just stop using it.

With Facebook, if someone is bothering you, you unfriend them, or you can limit it by listing the person as an “acquaintance” so less is sent to you.
 
…yes, just report and block. Don’t let unhappy simple folk drive you off.
 
I tried to find where someone was snarky toward you, but really could not find anything. Everyone seemed to be trying to be helpful and supportive. Peace and prayers for you.
 
Thank you for the kind wishes. I didn’t know there was a block feature. Can someone tell me how to use it?

There were a couple snarky comments when I wrote about difficult family situations. Also, the whole home school/cyber school comments started getting to me. Home school is NOT the same as cyber school. I wish people would either ask or educate themselves on that.

In either case, I will just take a long break and enjoy my family. I will pray for your intentions in adoration.

God bless.

Use the Ignore function.

Profile > Control Panel > Edit Ignore List > add member you wish to ignore.
They have no idea that this has been done.

You can also make yourself invisible so no one knows when your online.
Profile > Control Panel > Edit options > Use Invisible Mode.
and you can turn it back on by doing the same thing (but this time un-tick the box).

Take a short break & come back Invisible and refreshed.
:tiphat:
 
And realize that it’s the internet. Anonymous folks who read things differently, have had different results with similar circumstances, and have different opinions. We have to learn to accept that.
Not everyone on this board agrees with me. So what? I try not to take it personally. I would hope others would do the same. I have several people on ignore. they don’t know, and likely don’t care to read me either. 🤷
Maybe it’s best to take a break. Lots of people do that regularly.
Especially during Lent and Advent.
Like Estelle, I didn’t read anything mean.
Enjoy your family.
Peace.
 
Some parting advice…relax and don’t take everything so personally. It’s an internet forum. Just b/c someone has a different opinion does not make them rude, offensive or some type of forum bully nor does it make you the victim of some type of attack. Relax.

Perhaps you institute a rule where you only read the forums in the evening after a glass or two of wine. 😃
 
I’m sorry you feel this way. I went back and read through the thread you mentioned and I also did not see anything posted that was aimed at being offensive to you. What I saw were two posters who questioned the legitimacy and authenticity of an award that your son received. They were not saying that your son did not deserve the award and it’s quite possible that he did. What they questioned was the method used to determined who would be the recipient of such an award that is based upon intrinsic merit and virtue which cannot always be quantitatively measured based on outward appearances or behavior. The virtue being praised and awarded (piety) cannot ALWAYS be truly measured by the outward behavior of a person. THAT was what they were simply commenting on. Your son probably very well deserved the award. No one was criticizing you or your son. I’m sorry you felt that way.

I think the same criticism can be made of the Most Congenial award often given out at beauty contests. I mean, how can someone measure and award “Most Congenial” simply based upon how well a young lady smiles or how sweetly she talks when asked a question? 🤷 As we all know, people can certainly be different on the inside than what their appearances are AND sometimes their exterior actions do in fact match their inward state of being 🙂

I hate to see you leave the forums based upon perceived snarkiness that wasn’t intended 😦 I think you have a lot of perspective to add to many discussions.
