why all the bashing?

I have logged on here a few times and no matter what the topic is there is always someone hating on someone else or has something mean to say about an establishment or how things are being run. It is very sad that people read this forum and take it as golden. I just hope that people know to take what they read with a grain of salt and judges for themselves and not just what somebody says on the internet.

I agree Jimmy.. just a bunch of Haters and trouble makers and Chit sturers...Post something POSITIVE folks.. Be nice ..

So you are saying the newspapers and tv should be taken as "golden" ?
This is the place where we can come to vent and have our perspectives heard, and usually ridiculed. But sometimes middleground can be found, granted seldom does this happen, but different veiws can be expressed and understood. And the you have the poor misguided imbecile who just wants to spew their garbage. Takes all kinds. Usually those who can spell and articulate their points are well recieved, while those who repeat or initiate hostility and ignorance are ignored or chastised. Haters and trouble makers are part of everything in life, hey some people aren't happy, and some take pleasure in hurting other people's feelings. I feel if everyone had to register their name, 90% of the verbage would be restrained, but not all. This is a great place to vent aggravation, and just about everyone can find someone to make them feel smarter. Some can't spell. Some can't make a complete a sentence. But everybody says something stupid, sooner or later, I.E...
I myself sometimes like to talk dirty when I'm getting screwed by my government and the people of Jeff County along with the rest of the country, are getting screwed and there is not a dayam thing we can do about it.
That's as nice as it gets.

Jimmy,Jimmy,Jimmy!!!! Let's look at your statement.You say,"people read this forum and take it as golden" and you hope that they "read with a grain of salt" Now Jimmy,you sound like one of those very people yourself by posting that statement.You do know,that Topix mirrors real breathing people.Some people hate,bitch,moan,shitstir,whine ,cuss and worse. Its going on all around us.its human nature.Don't wear your feelings on a sleeve,don't doubt peoples understanding and resist the urge to come here again,if you don't like it.What is seen here,isn't much different than what you see in the news media.Dandridge topix is like a innocent little lamb compared to other forums in our area.Go to Morristown or Newport Topix.Even I blush a little at those.

Is this your first post Jimmy? Please makem post number 2 more positive.
Thank You that is all...

I agree. If you ask a simple question on this site inevitably somebody has to give a hateful,smart answer. It's really sad that the world is so full of negative unhappy people.

Some people just wallow in chaos. Ignore them. It is not worth your time. Look for informed comments and try to get a little knowledge from them. Heck, it's fun and sometime entertaining. You will many times just bust out laughing. Enjoy!

I find it amusing that no one has the BALLS to use their real names in all of their insulting posts.

I hope while you are amused you bust out laughing.
But how do we know you are who you say you are ?
I mean I could say I was Bob Beeler and that I hate Alan Palmeiri and you don't know for sure whether I am or not or I could say I was Rodger Griffith and I am a tax paying citizen that wants another government job and that your Momma wears combat boots. How would you know for sure ? Now your mad at Rodger and Bob, or maybe you agree with Bob and your Mom was in the military. Who knows for sure ? Or maybe I could say I was Susan Wallace and I have everybody's balls !
So in conclusion, I submit for your approval the following... Nah, using you real name would be kindly stupid and staying anonymous is the best way to post.

With Kindest Regards,
Andy Rooney

Perfect answer. Thanks...Andy.
