Wow, there has been a lot of animosity on the boards lately. Merry fucking Christmas. Happy goddam Hanukkah.
The holiday season is stressful. Period. Maybe you don't have enough money to buy everything you want. Maybe you have too much money but don't know what to get for someone. Maybe you're alone. Maybe your entire family is coming to visit. Hell, I was getting stressed just trying to spell 'Hanukkah' correctly, lol. Whatever the reason, your stress level has skyrocketed through the fucking roof. And it would seem like this place has become your only way to vent. I get it. It's easy. It's anonymous. You could even argue that being able to vent on this board is better than therapy.
Every single one of us sitting behind our computer or phone or tablet is a person. More than likely a stressed out person with real world problems and little to no hope in sight. Sure, there are some personas on here who are nothing like their real world counterparts (that point has been argued to death already). But behind that persona is a person. A real person with real feelings. And while someone may come off as an asshole, fucktard, bitch, or a cunt, that may be a facade. Their front might be nothing more than a defense mechanism - someone just hiding a lot of pain - especially during the insanely stressful holiday season.
Can we all agree to a truce? A cease and desist? No apologies. Just let it go.
Let. It. Go.
These arguments we're having all over the boards - are they going to matter a month from now? Six months from now? A year? Fuck no! They'll be buried down on pages 12, 56, and 123.
We don't need to add more stress to what we're all already carrying around. There are so many more bigger issues out there than hating on each other on a hooker board. Find your peace. Find your joy.
And if all else fails, can you just hold off until January 1st?!?!
