An open apology

[672]

Notive how all the negative behaviour was more memorable to me than the positive stuff, though?

Now I'm sure you can be all sweetness and light when you put your mind to it, 672 Try.

As for not giving a shit what I think... *sighs* Don't wory, most people don't

No offense, but you're going to be another one I shouldn't go against? Okay. ~just shuts up, doesn't care anymore~

 

[ABSTRUSE]

Sometimes I think I'd be happier that way. Not any suicidal thing, but...ugh. I hate people.

Well a lot of them do suck.

I have candy, want some?

 

[English Lady]

I don't know. Seems like I'm pretty despised. With no second chances, no matter what I say. Dust settle? Should I just sit here and not defend myself whenever someone decides to attack me?

Nah, not hated. Unknown -yes. And you'll get a second chance, a third, fourth and maybe more chance if you want it.

People are not neccesarily attacking you, but defending a friend, it's a natural thing. You've done your share of attacking, and folks round here tend not to sit back and take it. They defend theimselves and their friends.

Take Bel's advice and Liars advice :Stand down and take a deep breath or three and come back when anger isn't blurring everything up.

Hi 672,
Don't bash your head on your desk. It leaves marks.
I want to say that this is, by and large, the most tolerant and level-headed online community I've ever come across, and I've been doing this in one form or another for about 18 years or so. I don't mean that as a put-down to your age or anything, I'm just telling you what my experience has been.

It's difficult to tell what people mean online, as you said. People here are used to trying to express themselves through the written word, and yet still get all bent out of shape from time to time. I know I have, and I'm not what anyone would call a core-poster, but still I think people generally accept me here. I haven't even submitted a story (yet!), but I like to write and do it a lot in my work, and so I like to be among other people who write.

I've found that with people here in the Author's Hangout, as opposed to other boards on Lit, it's almost always safe to assume that when people post, they're doing so honestly. In any case, it's no good to accuse them of anything different, since there's no way of knowing anyhow.

People here have some history with each other - many are couples in real-life, or know each other. That's the reality, and I try to respect that, even though I can't always keep track of who's with whom and who's bi and who's gay and who's a woman and all that. If I'm not sure, I just sort of talk around it until I figure it out.

Quite a few of us have histories of clinical depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and other illnesses that affect our brains or hormonal systems. As such, many of us have been through (or keep going through) psychological therapy, different drug regimens, and that sort of thing. We've done things that, in retrospect, we aren't exactly proud of, but we try to reconcile with ourselves, and not be too hard on ourselves or each other. Sometimes we'll go off the handle a bit, and that's just how it is sometimes. That said, this is probably the most sane and generally tolerant bunch of people I've 'met', even though I don't know any of them in real life.

I don't know you much, but my first impressions were positive. You seem to have a sense of humor, a healthy disrespect for authority ( ), and a knack for expressing yourself. I think your AV is really cute. You mess around with all the HTML codes to change fonts and sizes and colors, which I rarely think to do much.

Anyway, don't bloody yourself on my account or on anyone else's here.

I'm part of the reason huckle can only say 'almost always'...

I'm 'almost always' looking for a nerve point to jab a needle into.

Paranoid schizophrenia springs to mind. Quite seriously.

Not being facetious, inflammatory, insulting or anything here, I'm quite serious.

It's the extreme victim mentality, you see, and the "everyone's out to get me", and the readiness to hate - such a strong word. Quite disturbing.

Seek help.

^ case in point.

I, on the other hand, can't resist making smart-ass comments that I'm the only one who thinks they're funny.

English Lady is the sweetest, most positive person ever. I think she would be a saint, but she enjoys sex too much, and I think she's Church of England which probably rules her out. I need to check with the Pope on that.

Belegon wears a kilt, either because he's been made an honorary lesbian, or he's been made an honorary lesbian because he wears a kilt. Either way, he wears a kilt!

Zeb Carter likes corporations, and he doesn't like taxes.

rgraham666 isn't really the anti-Christ. More like the anti-Pauly Shore.

That's about as much as I know.

I know that there is good in everyone and we all want to be liked. And we all need to love and feel loved.

Simple.

As.

That.

 

[AchtungNight]

Would y'all believe I wrote the first draft of a pretty good story while all this happened, that the displayed emotion played into it somewhat and made it great?

No, that's not bullshit. I don't bullshit on these boards.

I'm not sorry I got into this discussion, even though I don't know any of you and you all pretty much resolved it without me. I'm very thankful for the latter. Chin up, everyone, and let us go forth and be fruitful. Find purpose and meaning in all our experiences, good and bad. Even a speeding ticket can help someone out if they just look at it the right way.

Or, failing that, have a shag?

Everyone is out to get me? Try back reading some, or at least reading the rest of the thread. That would be great. I'm not being offensive to you, but they told me to stop, I stopped, and why do people like you need to start it all back up against with your assumptions about my offline character?

I have not replied because of the replies here. I had chosen to take their advice.

I. Hate. Being. Psychoanalysized by people online who have never met me. Hate? When did I say I hated anyone? Who are you and what kind of victim did I make myself? I simply fucking said this thread might just be another place for bashing and I didn't want to fight anymore.

Apologizes have been accepted.

Holy Attention-whoring, Batman! Get help for it.

Unless you are just another person I shouldn't touch and gets to have your opinion of me because I'm worthless still. Then nevermind the rest of my post.

You aren't helping any matters, lady. Please stop talking and being condescending.

Donkey: I think right now a shag is a damn good idea. No sex better than make-up sex.

I'm a lady?

Be still my beating heart.

Did you know there's a woman in China who can write the entire alphabet on a grain of rice?

I don't know what you are due to your lack of gender. Whatever, I'm sorry. Why are you coming after me now? Am I not horrible enough?

No one's coming after you, 672. We're just talking, and trying to help you a little. I know it's probably ineffective, we're not really there, but you have to salute us for trying our best. {sighs}

I accepted everyone elses, I really did. But this donkey person is just downright insulting me. What am I supposed to do? Sit there and let someone tell me I'm trying to do this, when I apologized and just wanted everything to be silent again? I'm seeking it, but I stopped posting?

 

[3 Legged Donkey]

Okie, so let me get this right...

It's *other* people who make you horrible; make you do horrible things, make you say horible things and make you think horrible thoughts?

You read "insult" into every slight comment that doesn't agree with you?

No matter what is said to you, you cannot rise above it? You cannot take it on the chin? You cannot laugh it off? You cannot take the piss out of yourself - fine quality that and a dying art, I should know.

It's *them* that make you do it?

M'kay.

Oh, and btw, I "came after you" because you had TARGET painted on your forehead.

But I can see a chink of sweetness there, hence the

Especially bored people who gave up on Shadow Hearts 3 sidequests and had a two-extra-shot iced latte.

Fucking read what caused this. I haven't always been like this. I was like this for one thread, and it started because one person did the same to me. Why the hell are you making assumptions? I keep...no.

I won't keep explaining to newcomers to what happened. You just need to use me to be right. There is no sweetness here, and never has been. I have never been a sweet, cute, pretty girl. I am usually the one to make yourself look better. You don't know the backstory as to why I am here, so why do you keep saying EVERY SLIGHT COMMENT? It's not every slight comment, it's just everything TONIGHT.

Why are you making assumptions? You are continuing this because you need me to feel better about you. So please stop. This thread has nothing to do with you. Just. Go. Away. I will not respond.
