Gentlegirl Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 I think we should always consider for a moment that somebody who comes on here for comfort and advice, could possibly be teetering on the brink of harming themselves or somebody else. If another human being is in emotional turmoil, a troll is the last thing they need. So.. no I don't consider they have entertainment or any other kind of purpose here. Their own agenda is to make others unhappy in order to satisfy some need inside themselves. Gentlegirl
Author FelicityShot Posted January 4, 2012 Author Posted January 4, 2012 A few questions. If one were a troll, would they admit or recognize it in themselves, or are they like mentally ill people that think that everyone else has the problem? Does the poster have to have/had major relationship problems of their own to be qualified to post? There is a good chance that I'm a troll. I read these forums to make me appreciate my life and spouse more. I must admit I do find some amusement in reading some of the self inflicted disasters as they unfold in slow motion. I think a troll knows what they are doing. Re bolded, well quite honest of you. It makes you sound like a sucker for gossip though. Is that healthy? I don't think you need to have R problems to post. Anyway, there are no perfect Rs or people, so we can all be humble about the potential for problems. I find no amusement in posters in a painful place. Maybe because I've seen it first hand. So some of the troll threads can be fun, as we can see the pain from an exaggerated perspective and so learn to lighten up and laugh at ourselves and our troubles. Some troll posts are very negative - as GG said - some people here are very shaky both mentally and emotionally. Already confused.
standtall Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 Felicity..is your name an implication of a martyr?
Author FelicityShot Posted January 4, 2012 Author Posted January 4, 2012 Felicity..is your name an implication of a martyr? No Stand Tall, that's not the reference. It's a very transparent name. With at least 3 interpretations I can think of. Was your comment a dig? I can't be sure.... lol
standtall Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 Was your comment a dig? I can't be sure.... lol Not all...I hope that if I make a dig I'm funnier than that.
LilMissMovinOn Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 Someone who posts fake scenarios(or even real ones) to piss people off. i.e. Someone who goes into the Infidelity section and tells a tale of an affair and how wonderful it is. Not asking for help, just posting to take a stab at people that have been betrayed. One thing that puzzles me is, why do/would B'S's start threads in this section of L.S when there are other sections of L.S dedicated to issues of infidelity ? The note for THIS section says clearly it is a place for OM/OW to seek & find support. To me displaying a superior attttitude whilst overtly identifying as a B.S in this section of L.S (as opposed to identifying as BOTH a B.S & AP) comes across as somewhat arrogant...

If you feel that us BS's being here is a violation of the TOS of this forum...report it to the moderator and let them deal with it accordingly. If you don't get the response you're hoping for...odds are...you probably need to reset your expectations, or find a web forum more suited to your own personal preferences.
Heather1 Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 If you don't get the response you're hoping for...odds are...you probably need to reset your expectations, or find a web forum more suited to your own personal preferences. That's a shame . I know I've asked for help throughout the years w/ staying, leaving, mostly during times of NC which has been the hardest part for me. I've been nothing but honest & luckily a few people have reached me through PM & their help has been invaluable for getting me through a very difficult time for me that no one knows about in my real life & a situation I never thought I'd be in. There's a few BS on here that post & I think it humanizes the BS & creates that empathy to see that side. Random posts to me are like someone walking into an AA meeting, saying "just don't drink" & happily thinking they've done their moral duty.
nofool4u Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 (edited) One thing that puzzles me is, why do/would B'S's start threads in this section of L.S when there are other sections of L.S dedicated to issues of infidelity ? Since I don't start threads in this forum, my guess would be that if it deals with getting to know the minds of those that cheat or aid and abet cheating, they post here. Whereas the Infidelity section, IMO, is more for getting help coping with being cheated on by others in the same boat. The note for THIS section says clearly it is a place for OM/OW to seek & find support. To me displaying a superior attttitude whilst overtly identifying as a B.S in this section of L.S (as opposed to identifying as BOTH a B.S & AP) comes across as somewhat arrogant... No more than those that go into Infidelity and insinuate it was their own fault they were cheated on I suppose. It happens both ways. What I find puzzling is that OM/OW think of this as a safe haven, whereas not thinking the Infidelity section is not. Maybe there should be a section for the betrayed? Tony?
