Now, people don't seem to have any debating skills, so they just attack the other person.

I started noticing that too. It's true, it's verbal abuse! <br />I hope more people make it their mission to be nice and long replies are great! <br /> Vickie @Vickie's Kitchen and Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03402367232977896594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623860601773162733.post-22536357601050313742021-04-14T01:35:47.922-04:002021-04-14T01:35:47.922-04:00I've always tried being nice and showing respe...I've always tried being nice and showing respect to people providing services. They have a tough job and may have to deal with rude people. I had to report a problem with my phone that should have been fixed several days before. It turns out a different customer service person assumed it had been fixed, so they closed out the repair ticket. After the call was complete, I thanked her, told her how much I appreciated her help, and wished for her to have a great day. I was taken aback when she got quiet. Turns out, she was surprised by how nice I had been. She quickly stammered out a thank you and wished me one too. It's very sad when someone just being nice to others shocks that person so much they are speechless for a few seconds. <br /><br />It started about 5 years ago and progressively got worse over the years until too many people think that type of behavior is acceptable. Look at the television shows being offered and how influential people treat others. It's no wonder it's gotten bad. Luckily, people are starting to stand up to the verbal abuse and are defending others, so it's starting to get better. Let's hope it keeps improving. Sorry for the long reply to your blog. Certain subjects get me going. 🤣🤣Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07167838982509411009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623860601773162733.post-45625322783212881952021-04-13T22:11:07.467-04:002021-04-13T22:11:07.467-04:00I agree.

On Facebook, I do a lot of scrolling by anything that might stir up controversy because I don't want to have that in my mind. <br />KayMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09972922396306756344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623860601773162733.post-61405903435432556242021-04-13T20:40:47.693-04:002021-04-13T20:40:47.693-04:00We really need to be encouraged to do better &...We really need to be encouraged to do better & be held accountable sometimes.

I also try to not say/write things that I wouldn't say to someone talking face to face. I think it's easy for some to hide behind a keyboard and write things you would never say directly to someone.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11806590832264928202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623860601773162733.post-54105011393345865732021-04-13T13:22:21.178-04:002021-04-13T13:22:21.178-04:00I hope to do better every day with the kindness! ...I hope to do better every day with the kindness!

I think it has gotten better in the last month or so as we move away from politics so much and people get back to a more normal life but it was really bad for awhile here. When I am frustrated and need to make a phone call I try to pass that off to my husband because he is much less of a hot head than I am.Lanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09380649410508372279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623860601773162733.post-10381152857813979362021-04-13T08:42:35.031-04:002021-04-13T08:42:35.031-04:00Yes indeed - people need to be nicer and kinder. ...Yes indeed - people need to be nicer and kinder.
