I think that sometimes people expect the internet and communities to be a little too welcoming and accommodating. While sometimes it is, it will never be butterflies and rainbows. Drama, miss-communication, disagreements, and other things will happen. Sometimes being behind a screen and text will add more fuel to the fire, but just like in real life everyone is different and won't agree with you 100% of the time. A lot of the time people are just trying to get a rise because LOLcatz it's funny. Aside from that sometimes people take things said on the internet too much to heart and too personally. I know that if you're in a community for a while you tend to care what those other people think, but you shouldn't base your happiness on their approval. But who cares if someone calls you a bitch or throws harsh words around. They are just words coming from someone whos never met anything other than your type-e-mc-happy self. You always have the choice to ignore it and move on rather than defend your pride. I agree.
