Weird. I don't get it. People you avoid because you don't get along sweep through your replies and LIKE them. SAY WHAT?

Why on earth would they "like" what someone that they do not like says? What's that all about?

    I noticed that too.  Although I seriously doubt that even half of the ones who do this have even read the post/answer they're liking, perhaps some are liking something just to say that they've read it.  Maybe they feel like it's their obligation to "like" everything.  Maybe they don't know what "like" means. Maybe they're just idiots who get a kick out of clicking the "like" icon.

    I have no idea what's going on Shuhak.  It's so phony. Either they REALLY REALLY like me and just pretend they don't when they try to engage with  me mano a mano or they don't read anything they just sail through liking things. Here's a thought. Do they get points for "liking" something or is it only the people who ask and respond who get points? I'm gonna ask. It's way weird. Thank you for your reply!  :)

      How self-centered. Just because they hit a button on a computer you think they're falling all over you. Perhaps it simply means they agree with what was written. Chill, Jill.

      What's your take, Rosie, on when you can't be civil/haven't been civil, or is that impossible for you to conceptualize?

    People we may not see eye to eye with or people who may annoy us are still capable of posting things we may agree with or recognize the truth in or sympathize with.

    It reeks of PHONY Baloney to me og. if a person cannot be civil when communicating I don't trust anything he/she says or does. Period. That's just me. I know what I feel comfy with and what I think is crap. I think that's crap. No disrespect intended if you don't. We're different and we perceive things differently. When I don't get along with some I do not waste time reading anything that person says. Why would I? Why do they read me? See my problem?! Thank you for your reply! :)

      So once again you're superimposing your thought processes onto how everyone else should think, and chastising those who make decisions other than the decisions you make. It's phony to have an opinion or commit an act that Rosie does not have or does not do. Rosie is adversarial toward a person, and when that person fails to return the favor, that person is wrong and Rosie is right. 

      Now, before the moderators delete this post and accuse me of "getting personal", as often happens, all I've done is repeated exactly what Rosie has expressed throughout not only this thread but in previous threads on the same or similar topic. When I say exact, i don't mean verbatim, I mean the exact concept only in my own words. I haven't even interpreted what she's said and changed the spirit, i have taken her at face value. If I'm wrong for regurgitating Rosie's words, why isn't Rosie having hers also deleted for introducing the bile in the first place?  Fair is fair.

    I don’t know who you’re referring to and it’s none of my business. I don’t hate anyone on here. I like some comments I disagree with because of an articulate point has been made and I respect the opinions of others. I may have butted heads with some on here. That doesn’t mean I dislike or hate any of them. 

    Usually when I butt heads with someone it’s because I’m in a bad mood that day. I have worked on staying off here when I’m in a bad mood. I truly don’t want to be rude to anyone on here. This post was edited by Rizz at October 6, 2018 11:19 PM MDT

    My only template is me  Rizz. When I don't get along with someome I NEVER READ ANYTHING that person posts. Why would they read what I post? Makes no sense to me. I don't have enough time as it is asking questions and responding to folks I do get along with. I sure as he** don't waste time reading anything anyone I don't get along with says. That makes no sense to me but of course I am not thee. I am stuck with being me. I refer to no one specifically. It has happened with more than one such person and more than once and it always puzzles me. It seems so very phony. They are incapable of being civil to me yet they "like" things I said? See my problem? Thank you for your reply!  :) This post was edited by RosieG at October 6, 2018 8:53 PM MDT

    I understand what you’re saying. I wouldn’t stress or worry over it. You can't control others. It isn’t worth your time to be bothered by them. It also isn’t worth your health. Easier said than done, I know. I’m not trying to lecture you, only offering advice. This post was edited by Rizz at October 6, 2018 11:20 PM MDT

    I know m'dear and I do appreciate your kind concern. It's just another passing fad. They come and go and I just go with the flow. Whatever occurs to me at the moment I speak about. I often get questions that occur when I reply to folks who respond. My mind is a sponge that absorbs everything in no particular order. The only way I have to squeeze it out is to ask questions as they show up. Thank  you for your reply Rizz. It's not something I stew about. So far! :)

      Rizz put it so eloquently that it bears exhaustive repetition:

    You can't control others.
    You can't control others.
    You can't control others.
    You can't control others.
    You can't control others!

      Just because one person thinks a certain way about others doesn't mean that others are obligated to follow suit. Why is that so difficult to understand?

    Considering that people on here have never met, how well does anyone really know anybody else? How can anyone truly like or dislike people they barely know?

    Speaking for myself, I often like questions and comments out of basic respect (think of it as giving the benefit of the doubt). If anyone feels such animosity for others they barely know that he/she won't even read and give thought to anything posted by those people, that's the antithesis of being open-minded and is their problem and personal shortcoming, not mine. IMO, life is too short and much of what's posted is too trivial to harbor such anger and hostility toward others.
