My edit was wrong as usual...she is being victimized by us and them now...*sigh*
Gina, this crap has been going on forever and nothing is ever done about it. It seems like the same group of people can attack me over and over again and that's just fine with everyone...because of the way that they do it. Ottoluv, Snownose, Espencer, Billy, and one or two other people are a group that literally follow me around the forums. They read every thread that I post in and then PM each other to come and attack me if I post something they fell that they can take issue with. It is the most ridiculous high school BS mentality and on any other forum I'm on they would get banned for what they do to people.
They're very good at what they do. They usually don't directly use my name, so to someone who doesn't know what's going on, their comments could be taken as innocent and ambiguous. Then, when see what they're doing and react, everyone says "Aw that wasn't directed at you, why are you getting so defensive??" I know several people who LEFT the forum because they did the exact same thing to them, so I know I'm not crazy. I have asked all of these people to put me on ignore and not post in my threads, but obviously they won;t because they think it's funny to *** with people.
I always try to be polite and diffuse it, but nothing is ever done about it. So when I finally decide to stand up for myself and tell Kelly especially that I think she is a terrible person and that I can't stand her and she should stop posting in my threads, my post gets edited?
Whatever. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I have never had this issue on any other forum ever, and there people who behave as they do would get banned. Apparently the mods just wait around until their victims get sick of it and then edit the victim's posts. Wonderful.
My response:
Brittany,
I am sorry you think so little of the moderation here. IMO MUCH has been done for you in the past to make this place a nicer one for you to post in. But the facts are this...if YOU choose to rise to bait and YOU choose to post nasty things....YOU will be edited. There is in fact nothing unfair about that. You are an adult and capable of forseeing the outcome of such a post. Had any of the people you mentioned made such a post they'd also have been edited. It doesn't get more fair than that.
You have choices as to the tone you post in...your response using Jesus and Hell and damn...is indicative that you are upset and expecting a fight...that was a tone you chose. The responses you get will be directly impacted by that choice. You have in past asked advice and been unhappy with it...and again...your tone dictates the responses you get.
Again I am sorry you feel we are not doing enough for you. But please try to bear in mind that we are here for everyone...and overt personally directed rudeness stated in a public way, will never be allowed to sit in a thread. I am unsure why you think my edit was unnecessary since if it were directed at yourself...I have a strong feeling your response would be very different.
