Thank you πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™

But not everyone is like you. As I've mentioned, people are motivated by different things. If EM (or me, or MrHereWriting, or whomever) is motivated by something different than you are, they're not posting just to piss you off. And yet here you are, once again, loudly telling us how you feel.

You say that as if no one has control over their own motives. Different motives are simply a choice.
 
DJ, you;re a nice guy. That's why I suggest that you stop sucking Em's dick. It only makes you look like a lapdog with no voice of his own.

Ah, I knew it would just be a matter of time before we heard from you. Because you're another one who doesn't realize just how ridiculous they sound refusing to let go of this bone.

If I want your advice, you'll know, because I'll ask you for it. But go ahead, keep taking shots at me if you want. Doesn't strengthen your arguments one bit.

In fact, I've been meaning to put your rude, ignorant ass on ignore for awhile. Ill certainly rectify that right now.

But before I do, just know: If being Emily's friend makes me a simpering puppy, if standing up for her against bullies means I'm just sucking her dick?

Then call me a dick sucking pup.

bye now. πŸ–•πŸ˜€πŸ–•

When you do it you are "standing up against bullies" when other people do it, they are obsessed trolls.
Am I getting that right?

It's interesting how many people scream "you don't have to comment or get involved" won't take their own advice.

He overlooks the fact his friend has done more than their share of attacking people and making baseless accusations of their own on a regular basis.

Double standards abound here.

But it is what it is....for now.

I'm sure soon we'll all get treated to another "I'm being vandalized' thread when the trolls see this thread bragging about how Laurel cleaned up their mess and promptly do the same thing again.

There was a popular author here many years ago that had several top list stories and then they all started getting hammered. He requested a sweep, Laurel obliged then it happened again, and again, and each time they swept the score would drop a little because sweeps often take a couple of good votes with them. Guy got so disgusted he pulled the series and posted it somewhere else. Much smaller readership but no one abused his work.

This is nothing new and its not going to change now or anytime soon or at all. However, one can minimize it by not constantly instigating it, but for some reason they either can't figure that our or don't care because a lot of people have done this over the years, because again, it's nothing new.
 
WTF is going on...I'm outraged and emotional about some of what i just read and the reason for this post by Emily. Bullies need to go find something else to do...geeze!!! Hugggs Emily

Did they prattle on about how the whole site is broken, and all the authors are leaving, and how terrible, horrible, no good, very bad anyone who didn't march in lockstep with them was? Or is that a new phenomenon?
 
You're within your rights to call it out, but when you are rather selective about WHO you call out for doing it... well... it doesn't come across as very sincere.

I select hypocrites, if that's what you mean?

LC and I have gone round and round about this sort of thing over the years. I don't often call him out; I value much of what he has to say. But sometimes, as he admits, he gets to be a bit much. I doubt he minds me pointing it out, and if he does, we both know he is more than capable of being his own white knight.
 
But LC doesn't care about getting bombed nearly so much as Em does.

LC is a different person than Em is, in a million different ways. So of course he cares differently about getting bombed. But this is Em's thread, and she's trying to let us know something that makes her happy. I understand why a number of people are probably sick of that. But it occurs to me that coming in here specifically to post something spiteful just because one can, is discourteous to say the least. It's most certainly unhelpful.

Em is correct: if she triggers you? Just ignore her. It's not that hard. The alternative is threads that turn into little hate-fests. It's hard for me to see that as a useful progression. You and I have had those sorts of conversations in the past and I thought they were ugly and disrespectful, so we stopped. Well and good. There's no real reason for it.

No, you only apply that standard to the people you disagree with.
Which makes you the hypocrite.

And Em can just ignore all of us, you can just ignore all of us...
If you post things in a public forum, you are inviting other people to comment. That's the way it works.
