Dear Ghost

[mrkelley23]

RichU is Harvard, right?

I am only slightly better at figuring out this stuff than ghost is.

only slightly.

GASP!

Pea named names!!!

We don't speak of this out loud...you might be in trouble for outing that huge, well kept secret......

For years she didn't name me by name, except for my most favorite times when I got called ThatPeaPerson or once maybe PeaThing, other than that she spoke of me obliquely, which in the Peahen's Rules For Life is the ultimate in cowardice.

You forgot "some."

Or was that bdm?

Or is he just one of ghost's MMs?

It was the proverbial ghost in the machine.

I just re-read the first post in this thread.

Still funny.

So why do you keep coming here if you feel like there are so many insulting creeps who don't like you, anyway? The irony is that if you weren't so negative, obstinate and downright mean, maybe they would like you! Or have you already tried being nice and even that didn't work for you? What you consider cliques here are just normal people with senses of humor and social mores who enjoy each others virtual company. Obviously you must have been absent the day they passed out sensibilities because let me guess- you've had this same problem all through your school years and right on into the workplace. And its always "them" and not you right?

You are a very troubled person who actively searches the posts of those who you feel have ever dissed you, for any inkling of provocation to jump on so you can twist it into something that will make you look like the poor trodden victim or the superhero who swoops in to defend the defenseless.

Your behavior is juvenile like the 3rd grade boy who acts out in class or pulls the girls hair. You crave and invite all the negative attention you receive. Is it really that much better than no attention at all?

Sometimes its obvious that you have a mental condition and just can't help the way you are. Either that or you desperately need to get laid.

Could you figure it out and get back to us?

Love,

Tweety

I'm afraid she's just one of those people who get a lot of energy from anger. That's why they seek out reasons to get upset. You'll find a lot of them on the Internet, where the consequences of expressing their anger are more at a distance than in the "real world." It's pretty difficult for someone like that to change, unfortunately.

It was bdm who started referring to me as 'some'one.

bdm is one of mini's MM, as we all are, except ghost.

Oh and don't forget that Bix and I are the same person.

THAT was priceless.

Hopefully not all -- does the sigh stem from the originating post or from the ensuing discussion?

The ensuing discussion is making me sad that people are being so hurtful.

I know that ghost posts things that rile people up, but it just seems that some are now posting just to wield pointy sticks and get things agitated. That makes me sad. I've learned, the hard way, that posting wars have no winners.

Thanks, saucy.

Unless tweetybird is a newbie who's chosen an unusual topic to delurk with, I'm afraid s/he is an Anonymous Coward.

It's not me and I don't know who it is...but my only observation is that the ID was set up last October, it's not like it was created yesterday to be used for this purpose.

And in some regards I do not blame whoever did it and would not call him/her an Anonymous Coward. Marley, you do not know what it is like to be on the receiving end of one of these attacks. You are lucky, and I don't wish it on you. There are some people that ghost clearly will not listen to, as she continues with unprovoked attacks and illogical responses. I am one of those people, and if I had something to say it would not be heard. I can think of at least 5 other people who are in the exact same situation. I think there were some valid points in this, and if someone had to use a different ID in order to get those valid points heard, I think it shows the foresight to know the audience.

Then why not put her on ignore? If you find her posts to be pointy sticks and believe that she won't listen to what you have to say, then why not put her on ignore and move on? --Bob

[Estonut]

Sweet, this is the coolest club ever to be in. I'd sure hate to be on the outside looking in....

Just remember to pay close attention when Fanny teaches you the secret handshake.... and remember to use your left hand....

lb13

Yeah, we need the handshake for it to be real...or a secret knock, maybe...or a code word/phrase?

There's software that can help. Isn't everyone familiar with the CAPTCHA product???

Amen. Lots of piling on in this thread.

[wintergreen48]

I think if someone posts something that vexes you, it is totally appropriate to respond to that post. It may even be appropriate for a lot of people to pile on in response to that vexatious post, if indeed that post vexes a lot of people. But it saddens me that we now seem to be starting entire threads that arise ab initio for no real purpose other than to pile on someone, independent of any particular vexatious post. This is at least the second such thread I've seen this weekend, both directed at the same person/ Regardless of how people might feel about said person, it seems a bit, well, excessive.

why use a thinly disguised MM to say something "relatively" benign?

that is weak

It is a great question, not just for Sunflower though.

I can only speak for myself, so that is what I will do.

Because I have not yet and choose not to ignore anyone or make them a foe or whatever. I feel that it is my right to read whatever posts I would like on this board.

I also feel that I have the right to continue to challenge when someone wishes harm upon me, my friends, my family OR anyone I care about. I feel that I have the right to be pissed off when that person not only does not apologize, but further denies saying it even though it is there in black and white, and instead chooses to launch personal attacks of my intelligence by getting in a Webster's dictionary pissing match instead of taking accountability and responsibility that something shitty was said.

So no, I will not let it go. No, I will not ignore her. I will continue to defend myself...and if you all want to defend her while she wishes ill upon innocent poeple, so be it. But I'm not okay with it and I never will be.

[sunflower]

Also, if people don't want their own words thrown back in their faces, they should keep their mouths shut to begin with, not play victim later when they get called out on what was said.

I get all that and there is a difference between defending yourself and keeping the whole conversation going by escalating and/or picking at it for days and days.
