Do I think cloud is helpless and ignorant? No I dont. But I reserve the right to laugh at the performance.

Was it this thread or its unintentional clone where Ali asked why I've changed? (The threads could be merged with nary a stitch.)

Nope, I'm still the same old me. You paint your criticisms with patience and concern and pretend your insults then bear meaningful weight. In other words, save it: your support has been woefully absent times when I really needed it.

I don't need to be saved from some sort of negative influence, as you hint at. These are my thoughts and my words.

Trying to remember when I was all sweetness and light. No, I've always been me.

before you say it again, I understand that YOU didn't start the poll. I am, however, convinced that since you 'know who did' ...that you're of a mind with that person (whose name may or may not start with the letter A)

I just want to point out that this is a bullying thread.

just sayin'

Really?

Trilby · 04-19-2011, 12:29 PM

most bullies will deny to their death that they are, indeed, bullies.

I agree with you jimhelm. 100%.

Just sounded a bit duplicitous.... that's all.

jimhelm · 04-19-2011, 12:36 PM

well.... yeah.

I've done shit like this. I'm not casting judgement on the use of this type of thread, per se. I dislike the anonymous posting of it mostly because it's a chicken shit thing to do. I also dislike the hypocrisy of cloud harping on bullying when she is taking part in it presently.

I've been on both sides of this kind of thing, to be sure. I am not speaking form a position of innocence at all. Simply pointing out that a pack of Hyenas pulling down a Lion is killing just as much as a single Lion pouncing on a Gazelle is.

It's the anonymous posting that I take issue with.

It isn't just distasteful--it actually harms the chances of working things through. So I have to wonder, if the poster isn't really interested in working things through to a resolution (as would be possible only if the issues were brought forward properly, with this intent) then what IS the purpose of this thread? To cast negative characterizations against specific posters, without allowing them to respond to the accuser? To encourage other members to take punitive action against certain other members? This all sounds like intent to cause harm. This is malicious. The poster of this thread is the attacker, not the victim.

That's all I am saying, the rest of this is on whom ever posted it. The only entertaining bit is to watch everyone jump on each others shit. Mostly it is all stupid. That is what the ignore button is for, to improve one's viewing pleasure.

Ah. You've never jumped on anyone's shit, right?

Ch'yeah.

Ha. ha, yeah. Jump on his shit Bri, jump on his shit.
