Why does it always have to get personal?

[Wayne]

Ya know,

I continue to read the crap on this board because it's a real bad habit.  There are some great guys around here, but there are many that behave like a bunch of sophmoric kids arguing on the playground.  When someone posts a differing opinion then your own, why attack this person personally?  If you don't agree, fine, just move on down the list.  Even if the post is total BS, why not just let it go.

Maybe it is the nature of many of the guys that are involved in this process...petty, small, and insecure.  It's really not a good look.  Can we take the behavior around here up just a notch?

I doubt it, but it's a thought.

We get harassed relentlessly on this board by numerous fake posters with their fake stories.  They come up with the most vile insults and same horror stories over and over.  We are pretty darn sure they're not genuine.  

Even if true it's not really news if you've been around and heard stories from your American friends and coworkers.  One of my friends was thrown in jail for when his wife accused him of abuse.  He sat in jail 4 days being threatened by other inmates so his wife could teach him a lesson.  He still hates her though it happened many years ago.  His wife was just familiar with our screwed up laws for throwing men in jail.  Another guy had his wife run off with another man and bankrupt him in divorce court.  Another man had his wife divorce him and sue him for alimony and child support.  She lived were her boyfriend while he paid alimony and spent the child support on herself when the kids went off to college.  And of course there's the unfaithful wives, but all these men were married to American women.  Then there's the golddiggers which are quite apparent in California.  I almost forgot about my coworker whose wife murdered him for the insurance money.  Real nice guy, but a little goofy.  He worked 2 jobs just to help support her 5 kids.  How many women would do that for a man?  While he was working delivering pizza, I saw his wife cheating with another man at a nightclub.  I feel the most for him.  

Do you mean to tell me that Russian women could be worse!  I don't think so.  Although my girlfriends were good most of the time, they had some really bad behavior patterns.  They've cheated on me, made many false accusations against me pretending to demostrate intuition, lied to my friends about me, stole from me and my friends, threated violence against me and sometimes were quite ungrateful.  Do I harbor any hostilities?  Nope, I'm over it.  I just want to move on.  

I personally, am not any more afraid of a Russian woman than an American one.  No matter what you say about these Russian women, you will have a hard time convincing me they are any worse.  

None of this is news, it's just everyday life observed over a long time.

I sure as heck would not want to be married to that Leidholdt lady.  Why is it that she wants to punish every man for the problems that a few cause.  What a b*tch.

Sorry about that post below.  I went into a completely different off topic thought train after the first sentence.  If you read my other posts you would see that's out of character for me.  

I was obviously thinking about a couple of those nasty trolls from the weekend.  I'm actually nice to them most of the time.

Maybe somebody should start a discussion board about all the American wife horror stories.  I'll look around, there's probably one already.  I wonder if many of the stories are about men who made the mistake of marrying a feminist.

That's supposed to be made up stuff on that site.  At first I took it seriously.

I agree with you 100%, regardless of your basic views which I am not familiar with. The term you used is right on target: "kids!" If they can't get along on this board without slander, they will never make it with a woman.
