Can someone please explain what’s going on? Wasn’t on imamother for the last few days but I’m so curious what this is all about.
TIA


Someone identifying on this thread as fuschia, and on another thread as puce, and a different colour somewhere else felt that the passive aggressive hugs sometimes given on this website were the biggest and most hurtful insult in the world. She took it on herself to remedy the situation by hugging every post on a thread where she felt there was a hug that could be interpreted as passive aggressive. A number of posters got annoyed, upset or hurt about it, but she remained convinced that she was doing the right thing. Extra credit opened this poll, and the poster bowed to the majority opinion which went against her convictions, and has temporarily stopped distributing random and irrelevant hugs.

ETA Edited to correct a few spelling mistakes that I only noticed after posting.

Honestly, though. If that's how you treat people after they do what you want them to do...

People may be upset, but there is nothing more hurtful on this site than having one's post singled out for a hug. It is worse than any other insult in the world.
This. I hate it. Hate it.

Which is why I mostly post in forums that have the hug function disabled.

No, I gave away the end of the story. You can't do that when you're trying to sell books!

Either way, I guess you are very upset that someone hugged your post.

Why don't you tell us about it?
Whats off? I hate those hugs, they’re like the “oh honey” said with a sneering kind of smirk

Maybe I was bullied as a kid, I mean I know I was. Lol.

The point is I’m not fuchsia and those hugs drive me nuts too.

Are you serious? The PM function on this site cannot be disabled. There is no safe way to post not anonymously. Besides, the PA hugs are more than anonymous.

Do you often have trouble with nuance?

No. But some things are pretty clear cut. Like that you can change your beliefs when faced with new information, but going against your own beliefs makes no sense.

In the other thread you called hugging a nuclear method.
What did you mean by that?
Trying to get us to explode? Smile
What other methods have you tried? Did you try discussing it with Yael?

Only read the 1st few posts.

I find it very corny and somewhat annoying. Though I move on.
