Resident Answers and Computer Manual Syndrome

Wel when peopel have called my personality a few names (even in this thread) I was once sensitive to forum comments, but now I simply let it act liek water off a duck's back as I do in real. Couldnt give a monkey's toss what you think of me nowadays.

so that means you'll feel no more need to complain about "bullying" on the forum. that's good news.. perhaps you could get several other people to follow that example and we could all get on to discussing our differences of opinion on actual topics =)

PS
FireFox has spell check, a very handy feature, you might look into that to make you post (and opinions) more clear.

Kind of doubt that is going to happen from past experience.

Oh wow, I am soooo scared.
Why should I use firefox or whatever - you obviosuly understood what I was saying.

Right first time Kira.

You have insulted:
Dogs

That tears it. Jig, you've gone too far!

Keep the animals under control by spaying them. Same with cats.

I keep cats under control by having a dog.

Firefox can help make the post and opinions clear?

Well, Eternus....it's a fascinating process, although becoming predictable and mundane. Sit for a spell....and I'll run through it with you. 69.5% of the threads started by the OP, are disguised as a thought provoking question, that are started immediately following another thread that was disguised as a thought provoking question, that did not go well, to her satisfaction. You can only have provoking thoughts, if they apply to her standards, btw.

Now.....the irony in this thread....is that it started as a suggestion that bullying is killing the thought provoking threads, started here....and there is a ploy for sympathy between the lines. Or was it blatant? Your call. Now, this bullying concept was a wee bit out of line, and set off a few nerves, as it was applied to responses in another thread, that were simply responses that OP did not care for.

Getting back to the irony......after several suggestions were made....the insults were hurled, yet again from OP.....and you would have to know the character Pep, to understand the degree of the insults....(a story for another day)....and the cry for sympathy and understanding turned into this:



.....which seems to be a contrary thought to the original plea....(and they often are).....since the OP is now calling everyone out using insulting behavior that was disdainfully addressed in the original post topic. At this point, one either becomes infuriated, or they simply realize how bizarre and silly the whole process is....(yet again)....and they laugh their ass off.....at which point the thread results in comical relief and silliness.....which is one of the points made in the original post (more irony)....that is unacceptable to the OP.....

......so you can expect a new thread shortly.....addressing this, with a plea for sympathy. Are you following?

eh, maybe, a little, but insults in a forum generally sort of tend not to register much when i'm reading, ... a grown up version of a sandbox war, and reading then is like eating grapes and spitting out the seeds.

It's fairly obvious I was taken on by a small group of peopel intent on goading me into some kind of reaction. It follows a Troll-pattern of offering advice (whilst snickering to each other behind the back) such as teh age-old spell checker suggestion much beloved by previous trolls (long gone now). Or suggesting that teh initial posting is a secret "Troll thread". Hardly original accusations.

Quite honestly, I really couldnt care less what people say or think about me (or anyone else). I am certainly not offended by their spitting in the wind. But it does tend to detract from what I have said or suggested in my previous threads. And its a shame to go out on a bad feeling when I have been posting here for nearly 4 years and I hope have made some peopel smile or think just a bit about the world we inhabit both on and off the computer.

I've been lucky to have met tons of sweet people on forums and a few really miserable sods who I would not cross teh street to say good morning to. I inetnd to post until the last hours of the Resident Answers or until I leave sl (whichever comes first).

Puhleaze, Jig. Of course you care what people think, or you wouldn't keep up the posturing like you're some kind of victim. You want the attention, but can't handle it when your narcissistic, judgmental comments bring out the worst in people. Like I've said, if you want to be a provocateur, then own it. Quit crying about the people that don't like what you post.

Accept the challenges to your world view, and move on. Learn from them; stop dismissing people's opinions because you think people don't like you as a person, because you aren't learning a damned thing.

Oh no. Not you again Cristalle? I'm off to bed. You spin the same old story time and again. I honestly dont care if I have brought out the worse in you.

Listen - once more. I own it. I accept I may upset some people. I hope I am provocative. I dont care if you dont liek what I post. You have offered No challenges to my world view. I honestly dont car eif you like me or not.

I normally ignore you most of the time, although sometimes you're a train wreck. So no, you haven't brought out the worst in me. You just tend to display the worst of yourself, and you earn the responses you get.

Can you understand English, Kira? Youre sitting at a computer somewhere in the world probably able to watch teh news sometime in the day and you are not out there in a food line or seeking medical aid in a shattered community. That is what I am talking about. So there but for the grace of god go I - and you.
I'll say it again. Thank whatever god you believe in that you are not there, hoping for some relief and aid to get through another day.

... teh age-old spell checker suggestion ...

Jig have you thought of donating your time to the relief fund? You could go there and help give out food and water, you could assist in the hospitals caring for these children and adults. You could help out in your own country packing up donated items to be sent over there see its not all about money and many dont have it to give but they can give of their time.

Dear Windsweat Wombat,
I have no intention of declaring my true identity but I have visited and given my time to relief efforts in "parts of the world". I have seen refugee camps in reality - not on television, safely from my couch or my home comforts. I have smelt them. Walked in them. Been witness to what relief agencies can accomplish. I have done my very best to raise awareness for issues in the real world. Many peopel do this.

I am not a medical professional. I am not a sniffer dog so I cant help with recovery. The best thing peopel like myself can do is stay away and encourage donations from afar. I do not speak Creole so I cannot instantly communicate with the Haitians. Best to let the professional volunteers work through these next few months.

Money is needed. That is the official request of all government agencies. The money can purchase much needed supplies that donations will not be able to cover. The money can be banked and used for future development programs for educating the children, building infrastructure, buying beds, paying in-house costs such as salaries for Haitians working in their own country.

Haitians are a proud and independent people. The money can be put to the best use by the Haitian peopel themselves and by releif agencies "in situ". I am doing "my thing" to help out and am committed as other peopel in my field just as I am sure you are also.

Thanks for your concern over my intentions in this matter. Yours,
Jig Chippewa.
