Thought help: What a shame! - Help.com

Well, i agree with you deleting the post. But after you deleted it did you try talking to the person about it?

Indeed. I explained exactly why it was deleted.

If they continued to go against your wishes then the person was never really a friend. Why would you want to be friends with someone like that. Its normal to be upset about it but you need to focus on people who are worth your time and want to be part of your life. Surround yourself with positive people nit negative like this person was.

Surround yourself with positive people “not” negative like this person was.

The person’s reaction seemed like a tantrum to me.
And they left the group of their own accord.
I just thought it was childish, after it was clear not to use bad language, that they did exactly that on their departure.

Sort of like and ex dumping all your stuff on the street, instead of just asking you to come and pick it up lol

The rules were clear and fair and you explained your position.

It’s a shame to lose a friend, but don’t lose sleep over it. At the end of the day, there will always be those who think they can do as they please and say what they want .. in real life and on the internet.

Facebook, youtube, bebo, help.com, your internet service provider… they all have rules about racism and intolerance and bad behaviour.

If people do not understand that rules are there to maintain harmony and create a pleasant experience for all, then you can only hope to persuade, perhaps educate.. but at the end of the day, sometimes you have to act firmly for the general good.

i agree with mumstheword

If they want to come back, they’ll apologize.

I think this person is far too hot headed to apologise. I suspect they think I should apologise. I suspect they think the group is not useful, simply because they were asked nicely not to use foul language or alienate other members by discussing irrelevant issues to the group’s cause and point.

Honestly, the group is probably better off without them.
It is still a shame that someone who was a positive contributer up to that point had to have a tantrum.

No sleep will be lost over the matter.
And I am feeling no guilt for the unnecessary and fruitless actions of another :)

I don’t write my friends off so quickly.

Neither do I. Which is why i didn’t delete this person from my facebook friends, or my help.com friends.
I only noticed it because I did a routine check in my friends to see if I had any new acceptances, or new fans.
That’s when I saw this person had gone from friend to favourite.
I then checked on facebook, and the same thing had happened.

Mind you, it was at least a day later.
Sad that someone would do that!

But like I said. No sleep will be lost!
