Yes I'll say I don't find them attractive, I might discuss something they did to someone else and yes, I'm human sometimes I do say something mean. But I try not to say things like "She's a fat disgusting bitch." I try to avoid negative discussion about people I can effect. I might criticize something about the person by saying I think he/she is cruel to others or something along that general line. I take issue with speaking negatively (Saying things just to be malicious) about people behind their back. When I was in middle school I had a group of friends who had talked behind my back and were just generally mean about people when they weren't around. The people who weren't involved in that stopped talking to the people who were doing that. For me it's a bit more personal and I try to think what it would be like for someone to hear all the things said about them while they weren't there. With celebrities it's not the same, I don't have any effect on their life, I might exaggerate and say so and so is such and such but I almost never mean it. I'm just really against passive aggressive actions and for me that includes talking ill of people who aren't around to defend themselves. I understand why you made the thread and I agree that treatment of others can be despicable on this forum and I do agree that whenever a woman posts the assumption more often than not is that the post is seeking attention. Some people are mean and on the internet they can be mean without recourse. It sucks but that's the way it is.
I thought you meant you made mean comments about them because it was in a paragraph where you were criticizing the mean people who make those comments openly. Anyway sorry for the confusion and remember, not everyone on the internet is a dick, I try to hold myself to a standard in regards to how a treat people and many others do too. Most times the people making those comments are the minority.

Ahh yes, I can see how one could assume I meant talking about people in such a rude way. I don't and honestly, it's not even something that comes up very often anyways. I think the last discussion I had with another person about someone's appearance consisted of "I really don't get why so many girls find him attractive. He's not bad, but not my type." I would never say that to the actual guy, because it's still indeed an insult and I wouldn't want to hurt his feelings.

I was actually really bullied in middle school myself, but I can ensure you people mature. It do get better, perhaps not in high school but it do eventually, I promise :)
