puddleofmud Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 I didn't perceive the situation as particularly "sad" but more as down right ludicrous--thus, my own hilarity about said "H" word. Not much concern other to address the general situation in the same ridiculous manner and not the concern about "who did WHAT". Frankly, addressing that would be giving too much validity to whomever and whatever--and I, personally, just don't care enough to embrace that kind of energy. As well, I don't even possess that kind of energy. There are times when something is just so outlandish that there is NO call for reason or concern. For pete's sake, if someone has in within them to become more than one person, or to fake posts, or to post for the means of "attention" then we, factually, could have no possible bearing upon their lives anymore than they could upon OURS. It's just not real. No harm no foul, other from those who possess so little intregrity that they may not have the understanding about "human integrity". If this is the case, nothing can be done to change them. It's much like a street beggar: do you give them a buck so they can go buy more crack or a meal? I tend to give them a buck because I don't know--and I trust that I WANT to help--beyond that--it's no longer my call. What they do with said buck is between themselves and their higher calling (should they recognize that). What I do is between myself any my higher calling. I had thought that my higher calling was to be the selfishly, self-appointed Queen of the hoo-hoos. Now, I understand my arrogance and that I am just a mere OW. Ah, well, so be it! Kisses and Grog to all!
outofdarkness Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 What a sad day. I just read through the whole thread that ran rampant and was about to post, but turns out, it was removed. However, I am compelled to write this and if it starts another rampant thread, I'm sure it will get pulled. It is very sad to see where this forum has gone. It is no longer helpful for what it is intended to be. Is that the intent of some BWs, to make sure there is no place on the WWW for OWs to convene? I don't know. While this particular section tends to have its good and bad times, most recently it has just gotten completely out of control. I have no problem with posters, BWs or others, giving constructive insight into situations like this. But I have seen too much over the past year to know that the BWs are given far more leeway than OWs when spewing their venom. I'm sure the moderators might not like to hear that and I am aware that they cannot police everywhere. In fact, I have no doubt they are working overtime as I imagine the complaint department is filled to the gills lately regarding this section of the forum. I do know the guidelines of LS: We expect that all community participants interact in a manner conducive to free-flowing, collaborative participation from all visitors, fostering an environment free of harassment, character attacks, and other forms of individual and group berating. Can we honestly say that there are not BWs who do exactly the above thing, and it is allowed to stay? OW do not come here to spew venom. And I do believe that some BWs learn a great deal by coming here. But enough is enough. And the proof is that horrendous site everyone has talked about. I'm glad Thumb pointed it out (even if it didn't last long enough for everyone to catch a glimpse). I personally think that site speaks for itself. If this thread gets me banned, so be it. The only reason I come back now is to help those who are in a place where I used to be. I've made some of my best friends here. And it has served its purpose for me. Unfortunately, I do not know that others after me will be so lucky. A final familiar thought to all who manage to read this before it potentially gets pulled: Take a good look at yourself and your life. "Let he/she who has not sinned, cast the first stone." You are confusing! Were you referring to the thread that I just posted on where I stated that I am usually no harsh??? That is the first time that I have done that...If we can be helful to each other; OW's and BS's..Then why should we not be allowed to post on this forum. I have found the support on this forum to be just as helpful if not MORE so then infidelity. It's always see how the other side feels and to read THEIR side and input.
