Dear Everyone, Knock It The Eff Off.

Hi, just an open letter to everyone here in our little circle of PNN friends.  Knock it the fuck off, k?  I'm sort of exhausted with logging on to this site and seeing people in the midst of verbal sparring matches on every other post I log in to read.  I don't think it's cool to write a post about someone else in a negative fashion for others to have the opportunity to read and throw their 2 cents in on.  I don't think it's cool to talk about someone who isn't there to defend themselves.  I don't think it's cool to use someone's name in a negative way without their permission.  I don't think it's cool to fight on the computer, period.  Disagreeing and debates, we can handle these things.  But outright fighting and insulting?  NOT SO MUCH. We're grown ups - if we have an issue, have a chat. In private. Where everyone on PNN doesn't have to listen to you whine, cry, bitch, moan and insult everything under the sun. Shit, I've been guilty of it in the past - but I know where to draw a line and where to take a high road now.  Give it a shot - it's a hell of a lot easier than drawing your own interpretation of someone's typed words and then play an argument out between two sparkly, happy looking avatars.

I've seen it happen in like 30 places in the last 3 days.  If you don't have anything nice to say, then shut up.  If you don't like someone, don't read their crap.  Or read it and don't comment on it.  And for the love of god - can we please stop talking about how "adult" we are in the middle of a post or comment that is berating another person in the same breath?  It's lame.

Notice how quiet it's been lately?  Notice how few articles or comments are popping up?  IT'S BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE FUCKING UNCOMFORTABLE.

In conclusion -- let's stop fucking up the vibe here, comprende?  I'm not a big fan of watching all the fun get sucked out of PNN - I'm sure no one else is either.  Let's put the petty shit aside, stop having the same argument/conversation in 4 different frameworks on 4 different pages, and just MOVE ON like the lovely, mature, grown women (and men) that we all aspire to be when we look in the mirror at the end of the day and realize that *suprise, suprise* we aren't any better than anyone else on here.

there, that's my piece. dunzo.
