Alrighty, looks like what I've said has been taken out of context again so I'll attempt to reiterate and maybe this time my point will be taken in the way it was intended. I do not believe in "hazing" anyone, yeah, I'm aware mingle2 isn't a sorority or a fraternity because if it was, no way would I be here; I never joined a sorority in college and I'd never try to join one now, online or not. What I meant was, mingle2 is full of people who use humor to diffuse situations, correct me if I'm wrong? Mingle2 is full of people who have grown to know one another over the years or months or however long it took and they have established bonds with one another, this is correct also, right? So when someone new comes along (especially someone who waltzes in with a know-it-all attitude or a question that seems simple to the masses, or an outright criticism of a particular gender/group or even the site) there can be tendency to "tease them" "poke at them" or perhaps make fun of them for whatever reason.

As I said earlier, I do not condone this, but it does happen, and there doesn't seem to be much to be done for it, unless you intend to ban everyone who teases (notice I said teasing, not attacking, so please don't quote Calleigh12 as thinking attacking a newbie is acceptable) a newbie or even someone who has been here for a while. Once I made a post on the feedback forum and before a mod could get back to me about my complaint, many people posted in anger over a word I used in my post, and some of them decided to make light of the situation. Was this right? Nope. Should they have been kinder to me, or even better, not posted their opinion about the word I used at all, since it wasn't directed at them? Perhaps. But did it happen? Yes. And did I get over it and come back, and actively participate in the forums? Obviously.

The point I am trying to make (yes, I do have one) is that mingle2 is similar to "real life." In the real world, everyone isn't nice. There might be people who are willing to help you because you're weak, or date you because they pity you, or overlook the fact that you can't spell basic words, or be willing to let you chastise them because you don't agree with their opinion, even though you aren't in a position of authority. But then again, the opposite is true, and you have people who will turn a deaf ear to your problems, people who aren't willing to let you insult them repeatedly just because you think you're right all the time, and people who express annoyance at being asked over and over again, "do you mind if I date outside my race even though I'm an adult, and this is 2009 and I live in America, I just want your permission before I do it?" In the real world, people are human and make mistakes, and use humor, and this happens on mingle2, as well.

In short, even though there might have been an attempt to make Mingle2 a Utopia, where nothing bad ever happens, I don't see it as such. It's pretty hard to have a Utopia when there are humans involved, since we're all pretty flawed, no matter how "perfect" we might wish to appear.

Hopefully that made sense to everyone, if not, there's not much else I can say. I think my previous posts on here should speak for themselves; unless someone blatantly attacks me, I don't insult them and I don't think anyone else should either. Okay end of typing diarrhea, back to your discussion.
