- Heatherlee, if you’re that emotionally fragile then this board is likely among the least of your problems.

- I aim for a 60-40% split, myself. On good terms with 60% of everyone I know; on bad terms with the rest. Lots of times it’s less than 40%, but I don’t worry until it goes above that amount. Makes life much easier. - MC

The problem I see is the IRL part. The board is just …something…and I keep it completely separate from RL. The way embarrassment and insults are handled on these boards can be labeled “the dog approach”. The bad or embarrassed dog wanders off for 2 hours, pees on the usual spots, comes back, all is forgotten. On the board I’d give it 2 weeks, and avoid the Pit.Then return like nothing had happeened.

- And I’d also add that soliciting nice comments is kinda like the “I’m leaving for good, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , unless some people beg me to stay” posts. - If you stick around for a while you tend to get the hang of what “acceptible behavior” is and you also understand that (as far as insults go) after all it’s just talk anyway. Lob insults into the BBQ pit when you’re in the mood and ignore it the rest of the time. - MC

I won’t judge her intelligence.
I do like to tickle her irritationalism.
Heather, being a newbie here, I wanted to say I have enjoyed your posts a lot. To me this place is fun and that’s why I usually just hang here in mpsims. I get the same thing from some of the ppl here but it doesn’t bother me as I know I am intelligent and don’t need to prove that here in this place. Keep posting the way you want to. There is nothing more boring than some pompous blowhard who is out to show the world his/her intelligence. (BTW Satan, as someone who spends most of her day critiquing… Ya did good at pointing out her good qualities first, but you could have sugar coated your words just a tad bit more on the what you felt the bad part was… oh wait what was I thinking … you be kind??? nah… that would fuck up the personna you have created.)

I think that Heather is just misunderstood. She is more like the personification of feminity. Very few people have seen true feminity so it is often misunderstood for something else.
It’s great to meet a feminine woman now and then although I wouldn’t want to marry one.
Heather,heather,heather,we ALL love you! Heck,I wish I Was you!(looks-wise,not cuz your with Brian). I have made many typos myself,because my time of the computer is limited,I must hurry.I’m sure your smart. The idea is to get your point across,not be shakespearian! 
The poster beneath me is really smart!
How anyone can regard a message board as anything but mindless entertainment is beyond me. I suspect displacement myself. Seriously, Heather, what aren’t you worrying about because you’re fuming over words on a screen? It is a lot more fun to swear at strangers, but eventually if you don’t deal with Whatever it will deal with you. I say this in a friendly dispassionate way, in case you read it more harshly than I intend.
Hey! Heatha’!
My FAMILY snipes at each other in exactly the same way the SD posters do–except (most) of the SD posters are wittier.
If I’ve offended you at any time, please accept my apology. I’m just used to this verbal rough & tumble, & I sometimes forget that everybody else wasn’t raised like I was.
YO-HO, ME HEARTIES! ALL HANDS ON DECK FOR THE MUSICAL BATTLE AT SEA!
Hey Heather… hope today is a better day.
We are, each of us angels with only one wing;
and we can only fly by
embracing one another
Satan,how much older are you than Heather? You are coming across like you have to watch your step at all times to appease her!?
I don;t kniw what the problemm iz!& I can undertsnad her typingmperfectly!!
Hey orangecakes, remember, Brian and Heather are in a long distance relationship. From my own experience, when you’re far away from someone, that delayed communication thang can sometimes lead to doubt.
I think Brian is pretty cool for taking the extra effort to keep his lady happy. That’s what a long distant relationship needs to survive.
And come on now. Heather’s posts aren’t that bad.
You say “cheesy” like that’s a BAD thing.
Orange, your rudeness stands out more than Heather’s typos…

Sue,my second post was Supposed to be funny! Yes, Satan is very mature.Me,rude? “Heather,I love you!”
The poster beneath me is really smart!
I am 30, she just turned 23. Should this make a difference? Except for our careers breing in different states, I dojnn’t think there should be… Am I naive?
I always wonder why, if one person sticks up for their SO, it’s always taken that the person being stuck up for (lovely word combination) is incapable of doing so for themselves. This is generally far from true (IMO). It’s usually just that someone cares very much about what is happening to their mate.
Orangecakes, I also think you were being rude.
Sure Heather needs to pick up her punctuation a lot, but I think that one or two people telling her so is sufficient. If she then chooses not to, it’s nobody’s business. You can always skip her posts. Making fun of her, rather than just skipping her posts, is rude and immature and speaks volumes about your (meaning anyone, not just orangecakes) character.

Satan, I don’t think you are. Everyone has their own reasons for why they are attracted to someone. If she’s the one you love, even IF her age is a factor for that attraction, it’s none of our business.
trisha
Nah, not at all. This is the same difference as between my husband and me. We met when I was 24. I think there comes a time, once you are “grown up,” that the age span like that doesn’t matter; what matters is that you have both achieved a level of maturity. It certainly WOULD have made a difference at 20 and 13; it will make even less of a difference at 40 and 33.
Actually, the only “issue” that came up with the age difference came when I was 37 and he was 44; I would have had another baby at that point, and he didn’t want to be doing teenagers in his sixties.
Don’t let the age thing faze you at all.

Sue and jazzmine,I am surprised anyone would think I was being rude. It s called humor,and folks on the sdmb are mature enough to take a “joke”.Its not like I insulted her! When I first started on here,I was called moronic and ignorant for a post I made. It had nothing to do with my spelling. I wasn’t insulted,that was his opinion(pl).If I get my feeling hurt when a stranger says something mean(and I didn’t),then I am too sensitive. BTW,I thought about my post in question,realized he was correct and I was wrong and told him so! Does no one have a sense of humor? I joked about her spelling.Did you never kid a friend about something as minor as that?
