Serious Question

[diabolical_Tanya]

Why do people have to pull/put someone down in order to make themself look/feel good?

I see it here at work, I see it on the board, I see it socially. Is this just human nature? does everyone do it? or is it a generational thing?

Is it insecurity?

nah, they'd just put you down and draw for their PM's that they have in storage and insult you with some thing or other you may have posted about yourself years ago that they discussed by PM with one of your friends.

Re: Serious Question

additionally, why do people engage in the behaviour themselves, encourage oddas in it, an den, wen di smaddy whe dem tink a do it an dem not on terms, it becomes so offensive r of interest r of note....matta of fak, it is curious how many naw go mek a one know seh dem tink it is such, depending on di one...

speaking as one who is told she is manless, sexless, ole etc wen a one feel di need to put di I in har place, i find it laughable, given a lot of factors...fuss being di fak seh di posters usually no matta in a lot of ways...

the changing dynamics of this board, one of the places u cite as seeing di behaviour exhibited, is glaring , dont?
