(3,440 posts)...am I correct, at least about people in general?
zuul
(14,704 posts)No, I don't agree. Not about people in general and certainly not about DUers specifically.
And if your going to start such a contentious OP, maybe you should provide some context.
Otherwise, it begs the question: If you are unhappy at DU and you believe that people "take pleasure in other's misfortune" why would you want to keep posting here?

(27,298 posts)but I'm a jerk, through and through! It's just my nature.
You have what I used to think was excellent company. As a Jerk (Wild and Crazy!), how can someone not be the same target of a wall of spitballs, in this case spitballs of an adult nature, coming at me from all directions in my life.

(506 posts)Maybe it's similar to how you take pleasure in shaking your finger at strangers and trying to shame them for harmless natural behaviors?

(3,440 posts)And sure, posts and mindsets such as this do not help. I am DAP , if you catch my acronym.
Ocelot II
(131,206 posts)I don't mean to be negative but what you're saying is so cryptic that I don't know how to respond. So I guess I won't after this so as to avoid any further unintended insult.
Anon-C
(3,440 posts)That I was offended, I am not. As for the cryptic nature of my post, sure.
Triloon
(506 posts)It can be useful, similar to using complete sentences.

(20,806 posts)If there are some specific instances, please, point them out.
If not, you're definitely barking up the wrong tree. There's more compassion and love for others on DU than on any other website I've visited.
Anon-C
(3,440 posts)Trolling or just plain don't like me. I know it's overly broad, I don't even think it's representative. But again I notice that most folks "get it", just not me, so I am here looking for feedback.

Not into laughing at people suffering.

hlthe2b
(114,667 posts)I've seen a lot of compassion here directed towards DUers and absolute strangers in the world or news. Perhaps a bit toward you and me as well?
Think on it, please.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
