Lord Pmann wants to discuss Brianna38

[baise]

Like many others, my initial reaction to “Jim’s” message was to post my thoughts about how devastating it must be to lose such a lovely person who was obviously so well liked/loved by so many at Lit. And like many others, I was taken in by his/her persona. Almost no one here knows me, nor I them, and that is entirely my fault. Whoever she/he was, Brianna made me feel welcome almost the minute I appeared, both in her own thread and in another music one I posted in. Like so many others, I can see that I was played. But as I read all the comments here, it is painfully obvious that Brianna/Jim have ultimately played themselves. There were so many people here whom she genuinely touched, people who, underneath the masks and things we hide behind here, loved the person they thought they knew. Brianna has played herself right out of your friendship, love, and caring. Maybe he/she feels very superior at having done that…. ”Trickery succeeds sometimes, but it always commits suicide”.

This is a nice msg

Welcome to Lit

Lol

One thing is for sure. There is a lot of screenshots saved going on in this forum. lol
Be careful, peeps. Be very careful what you post. lol

Well this thread has made me less like a bitch for always having my doubts. When anyone is just "The Ideal" it gives me red flags. We're all human and have good and bad sides. Then there was the heartbreak with Vail which made me super uncomfortable. But in general, I figured she was being kind and making people feel good, what's the harm.

Faking your death is harmful.

My best friend died of a sudden brain aneurysm in Sept 2021. It took longer than 3 days to confirm that fact. I can assure you her grieving husband didn't have the time and privacy to do <gestures wildly> all of this. So while I fucking hate petty drama here, this one pissed me off.

I did decided that if I die suddenly and anyone announces my death I would like no one to belive them and accuse every new user of being me or my ghost.

God can you imagine being cursed to spend the afterlife as the Ghost of Lit.

Did you ever notice that she was online when Europeans would be? Her good mornings started at 2am EST usually. Maybe she wasn’t in NJ ?

I thought she was in Ireland initially, until someone else said she's in NJ. I couldn't be bothered with timezones most of the time so didn't really think about it much

 

[Lady2020]

Geeze. Feels like a version of what I witnessed on the GB when I first joined Lit. I remember thinking at one time the PG was the safest forum.

 

[Pad_Foot]

So confused
Brianna_38 liked posts this month
Or did I misread all of this and the likes ?
Looking again

I am being stalked by the dead ?

 

[Mo_Bandy]

I don’t know, I find it pretty hard to wrap my head around the psychology of any of this but the sweetest thing to come of it is the growing love story for Mo.

I knew this would eventually happen here for me. All I needed was for someone to just fake their death. Now when do all you lovely women start dropping your cyber panties?

 

[Mo_Bandy]

Eric Roberts lol

Probably my favorite actor of all time but he is too old. Maybe that Idris Elba fella. He looks just like me except I am short, white and kinda fat.

 

[AngelWithAShotgun]

My thoughts on Bri... I think she really was a troubled soul. I choose to believe the trauma she shared with me is real and I will continue to respect the fact that she only shared this with a few people. I am genuinely grateful for her positive presence in my life.

I understand why it had to happen like this, trauma can make you do hurtful things to protect yourself.

Having said that, there are a lot of things she could have handled better, even months before she died or ran away. I hate that the few people I love were hurt by her actions then just as it does now.

But we are all guilty of this. I know for a fact that there are a lot of issues I could have handled better and I am very aware that I only know how at this point because hindsight is a bitch.

I am a better person for knowing her. So I will say this again to the people I love:

Every person you meet leaves an imprint in your heart, it shapes you just a little bit, into the person you are now... I am grateful to the people who shaped us, whether they deserve it or not.

I never interacted with this person aside from her random posts on the fitness thread that had nothing to do with fitness. She’d post inspirational memes about meditation.
That said, I have a lot of problems with everything going on here. From the obviously fake/stolen photos - using others photos is an awful thing to do to people including those to whom the photos belong - to people taking screen shots of posted photos. It’s largely irresponsible to post your face, even briefly, and this confirms it. Unless everyone important in your life knows you’re on lit and doesn’t care, it just seems like a bad idea and this proves it. People have screen shots of your photos.

Additionally, I’ve had many discussions with @AlpineFresco about online personas and how I have a problem with them. I want to know the person I’m speaking with is real. Yes, everyone has slightly different personalities based on their environment (a code switch, if you will), but whether it’s faking your photos, faking your marital status, or faking your sexuality, there are people on the other end that can get hurt. True vulnerability is being authentic online and in your ‘real life’. There are real people on lit hurt by this person being a catfish, so while I am often guilty of saying lit isn’t real life, the pain caused by people who wrap themselves up in a persona that isn’t authentic is very real.

I am sorry to those this person seems to have hurt. Your pain is real even if Brianna likely wasn’t. To those saving screen shots of people’s pictures - don’t do that. It’s gross.

 

[PlanetaryNebula]

It's not an insult. No matter what others might say, it won't change someone else's mind. You have to experience for yourself.

I’m not so stubborn as all that. And definitely don’t need to get burned

I had a number of interactions with "Bri" but scaled back direct interactions a month or two ago after discovering (and validating) that the chest pics were fakes. I figured if those were fake, how much of the other stuff was.

She did bring a lot of happiness and joy to folks, and "going out" this way instead of just announcing she was walking away from Lit made it so much worse because of all the hurt people left in its wake.

In my opinion, that fraud and deception on those she called friends overshadows much of the good done prior to that

I will miss her selections in "Peace of Art". The majority of those were tremendous choices.

 

[Trekka]

I always thought that person was a spambot?

SERIOUSLY I DID THO.
Never even tried to interact.

There’s a bunch of them here!

Some I’ve interacted with, some I haven’t, but I feel like when it’s “too good to be true,” it’s false.

 

[ToPleaseHim]

But then no one asked for money and also, he had already spread her ashes so that’s out. And with all the investigations going on about it , no one would give them money now

That was the point. The long con resulted in friends immediately offering. They didn’t even have to ask.

 

[ToPleaseHim]

8/9 vs. 9/8.
Typo or euro formatting by mistake?

Americans don’t accidentally use European formatting any more than they/we accidentally use the metric system.

 

[Orchidea73]

Perfect. My comment doesn’t concern you then.

 

[AngelWithAShotgun]

I do. I learned American English as a child but after moving to England, I constantly mix both. The same applies to my traditional Mandarin and Japanese. Or actually, any language/dialect I picked up. Or currencies. I'm so used to doing it, I don't bother getting it straight anymore, people will hear or read what they want anyway

 

[Mr_bogey]

Screenshots of her last three chests and the real pics. Before they went *Poof*.

I think you having all this info on her bothers me more than the mystery surrounding Bri.

I'll admit there is a lot of smoke but I don't understand the motivation behind doing it. Attention? She gave as much as she got. Whoever was behind the screen name portrayed a kind person that brought a smile to many faces. I think the board will miss that presence. The sleuthing, eh, I find that more interesting in AmPics threads or when someone is causing problems/scamming people.

So, yeah, Bri, whoever she/he was, will be missed.

 

[LaisDeMarieDeFrance]

If I was a European pretending to be from the US, eventually I would fall back to my default date formatting, which was his point. He and others speculated earlier that she may have been European due to odd posting times (for the US).

 

[AveryElle]

Well I know a few Americans who do. Part of the whole affect. It’s….a thing. But probably not here. This is a scam.

Can't wait til I die. Watching the peanut gallery debate the whats and whys will be classic. Start your research now...or not. Choice is yours.

I back you on this Bogey. Lots of fake people here with no lives. All trying to make the Legacy Status. They got a long way to go. Nothing new though...this is Lit. Happens every couple years.

 

[Trekka]

Who brought more people together, sexyalison or bri?

sexyalison, hands down. hey, at least she spoke her truth!

and @Dribble , you don’t have a Lit-Death-Plan? every Litster in good standing needs one.

i can’t be the only one who has a spouse that actually *would* alert their Lit friends?

Funny enough, absolutely, my man knows the handles of my Lit friends and some of their stories and shenanigans. He’s talked to them on the phone, even.

So yeah if @Lord Pmann ever posts my lit-obit… it’s legit.
And now I quit.


Where’s @aussiegeekygal ?! She’s always got her finger on the pulse. Wonder if she will weigh in with her smartypants self.
