yes... but we can just focus on what we're adding to the platform!!! less time exerting energy over greedy people - and more time enjoying what's added - right?

i find i usually take the "ignore the tantrum" approach when i see people that want attention for bad behavior. lol I was never a huge fan of Oprah - but occasionally she would share a nugget that I thought was valuable.

One day, she was speaking about someone/something negative. (don't even remember actually - which just goes to show you that her point was valid!!!)

She said that she would choose not to even draw attention to them by speaking about it - because even in speaking negatively - you're bringing a focus to it. She would rather speak about (and draw attention to) the positive things done in SPITE of their negative efforts.

I thought that was really powerful. I think there are always times to discuss negative issues when the goal is to find a solution. Of course - then, its necessary!

But you and I? We have time and energy invested in the things that bring the focus to community, connection, support, help, friendship, engagement, service...

That's why it's a joy for me to do what I can to support your initiative and point people in your direction when it's appropriate! and I so enjoy your comments on my posts - always :)

They always make me smile! Thanks @notconvinced :)
