So much stress and heartache can be superceded if the powers that be simply say... "thank you for drawing that to out attention, it is a very real problem in an emerging technology, we'll certianly look into it and report our findings."

It's difficult to manage a whole world... everyone knows that...

This thread is ok as it is, from what I can see, but if it delves into old topics and attacks, I will close it.

We just finished putting up a new bridge at our castle, and was wondering if you would like a place under it? We are right next to a mall that sells items which should help your drama obession, and under the castle is a nice playroom as well.

Oh.. I'm sure we can come up with a couple of goats as well.

Um - don't want to be too pedantic, but it was: STOP TO SELLING BABIES IN A BOX!

Personally, I'm wondering if/when bella will take the next step, and become an issues poster.

Not that I'll see it except in quotes, mind you. Like the French knights to the English, I fart in her general direction, in the specific form of an addition to my "ignore" list.

Often, a person will post a sincere message about which he is emotionally sensitive. Skillful trolls know that an easy way to upset him is to disingenuously claim that he is a "troll." On other occasions, a person may not instantly understand, or fit into the social norms of a forum where most users have similar characteristics. As a result, his acting just slightly out of the norm (often unintentionally, and for legitimate reasons) garners him the label "troll." It can sometimes be difficult to distinguish between a user who merely has different values, views or ideas, and a user who is intentionally trolling; unfortunately, many users react aggressively on first impression of a perceived troll, which sometimes leads disgruntled newbies or political minorities to be perceived as trolls.

You're certainly emotionally sensitive about the issue, but repeatedly disregarding rules in the TOS that are put there for everyone's protection is still trollish behavior - along with name-calling if others don't agree with you.

Last statistic I read stated that 1 in 4 women has been sexually assaulted at some point in their lives. I'm in that 25%, and so were a number of my female friends growing up. What happened to you was wrong, and there's certainly no one claiming otherwise. However, we're all victims of something at some point in our lives. If we choose to still take responsibility for our actions as adults, or if we choose to let past traumatic experiences control our lives, are choices we all have to make.

If you're looking for the sympathy and expertise that you need to help yourself get to a healthier place on what happened to you, I hope that you'll look into counselling. Forum boards aren't the place to relive it, and you're attacking people I think because they aren't putting themselves in your place. That's not anyone's requirement here, and frankly it sounds like you're still in a bad place with what happened to you. But there are people that can help, and I hope you find them. Until then, the sensitivity you still feel over the issue is going to control you and make you blind to any reasonable discussion of differing viewpoints (the entire point of a forum) - every comment that isn't 100% in agreement with you is going to feel like an attack.

I hope you find the help you need to heal. Going through life controlled by what has happened to you is no way to live. It leaves you just as powerless as when you were a child, and gives your attacker to power to continue hurting you. You're the only one that can take the control back.

I wish you all the best.

Yeah, way to be obnoxious here. Great way to evaporate respect and sympathy.

Interesting. I once posted that here, too. It was when I was called a troll. Having looked at the previous threads, I would agree you are being unfairly called a troll.
