So I find it very distressing that I've been getting hateful pm's from other registered members here - and I believe these are members who are in high standing here (I know at least one is).

So how do I handle this? And how am I supposed to feel about being treated this way on a supposedly friendly forum?

Evenstar, I am not one of your biggest fans - after all, among other things you have inferred that I am/was Lame and (getting) Pathetic - not to rehash old stuff. I don't think I'm pathetic or lame - although I do use a cane to help keep me up, you've never seen me walk, or seen me limp.

My friendly advice to you is to IGNORE nasty PMs. Maybe turn OFF your PM for a while. As for how you should feel about the way you perceive you are treated by "some people" on the forum. I suggest you feel Apathetic about "nastiness" but, IMHO, it's not my place to tell you how you should feel.

Consider the source of these PMs. Are they from credible people? Is their information valid and meaningful? Are they simply trying to get you all riled? Sticks and stones and etc... (you know)...

I'll also suggest that you may want to give some thought to a different approach to your posting style.

I believe this to be a very friendly forum and an oasis on the Internet. I sincerely hope my response has been of some help to you.
