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?

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

If I experience schadenfreude it’s because of some past experiences.

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?
