A, I don't go to those negative forums as there is no desire to read or give any energy to someone who chooses to slander or tear someone else apart. If that is where they are in their own phase of human development - then that is where they are. Basically, they are feeding upon the sour grapes that they themselves sowed as a consequence of their lack of kindness and basic respect toward fellow members here.
Perhaps another way to view this is that like-attracts-like. In the beginning it was a free for all here and we were sinking under the negativity. Subsequently, those who insisted on being negative were weeded out and now hang out together feeding upon more negativity that they choose to generate for each other. What they do is about who they are as individuals - not who we are. This is akin to the allegory of the cave. These banned members insist on living in a cave of negativity while others who stayed here, who enjoy civil communications, choose to live in the open sunlight.
We love you. Just know you are where your input and energy is appreciated.
