About Abuse

Gee Flint, I was just trying to be honest...

You may be right though. I guess it depends on your perception.

My intention was to point out what my problems are with monster's posts and to a secondary degree, to ask Shawnee why her own style seems to have changed so much.

To recap though. I don't believe you have to be a bitch to be honest, so suggesting that bitchiness is honesty is bullshit in my opinion.

Ali, Just read post# 60 out-loud to yourself. Imagine her saying it and imagine any IRL person saying the same thing. Once you realize she is totally insane, you'll feel better about the lack of enthusiasm for this poll.

sky, monster is not totally insane.

[skysidhe]

I am sorry. You are right. Not 'totally'. Just M.O. I know it is MY personal perception and my problem. If people want to take a bashing, without sticking up for themselves, at the time it is happening, so be it.

Bolded is key imo also

I don't work this way. I am in disagreement with it. As I said, it is a poor way to gather support. I would much appreciate it if people would take issue with her trolling at the time it is happening.

I am quite capable to getting into M's face without hiding. I seem to be alone in this.

....and the original intent of this thread just proves how much of a coward people are in regard to her. ( outside of apathy and amusement)

I have decided I will no longer stick up for people she is trolling in a thread because of this thread.

If you are going to have someones back, have someones back up front and not in secret. It loses it's sincerity.

When she is unkind to people, I don't see anyone, even the attack-ie saying a damn thing.

If you have proof of people standing up to her abuse, post them here.

And what does the post say? She is going to continue to troll what she deems beneath her intelligence level and those posts that are too florally wishy washy.

How is censureship, when a post isn't harming anyone, good for this community?

[skysidhe]

what does it mean? floraly wishy washy and fighting against the invasion?

....and if ignoring dumb, ignorant things are the stance then why fight said imaginary invasion? ..

It is contradictory and vague at best.

My interpretation: It means fighting against something like political correctness. The invasion would be those who wish to make the world a safe and boring place by removing the soul from it. In the name of a "good cause" of course, but ironically killing the very thing they wish to protect. Some of us have to practice forethought in order to counter these well-intentioned but reactive ideas.

I like what you wrote although, forethought is not one of monsters posting style.

For example, cloud was not being politically correct by asking a question in your math thread. Instead of helping, monster insulted her, made references to movies, which she is inclined to do, in an attempt to belittle and humiliate her.

This doesn't fit your interpretation.

[Pico and ME]

I didn't find it vague or contradictory. I found it bravely up front and in your face. Monster will always say it like she feels and sees it and isn't really worried about its affect. You may not like her for it, but she doesn't care.

Floral (seems pretty clear), wishy-washy = watered down, watery, or dull grey like dishwater, marshmallow-post infested = again seems fairly clear to me. Full of soft, fluffy, say-nothing, sacharine sweet posts.
