I am being totally honest all the time here and anyone who thinks I'm not doesn't know me. There's no-one here I dislike and the only thing that makes me angry is crossing the fucking line between humanity and idiocy.

Same here. I don't see the point in posting if you're only going to be dishonest. What's the point? There's no one I dislike here either. The moderators are good here too. No power mad types or sarcastic flame warriors to be seen anywhere.

There's no-one here I dislike and the only thing that makes me angry is crossing the fucking line between humanity and idiocy. I remember a particularly stupid post where a certain 'gentleman' said tact was over-rated. Tact isn't the same as lying and if it's so over-rated how should one behave in a classroom? in international negotiations? in a counselling session?
Unfortunately some people believe that they have the awesome mental ability to see past our posts to the fact that we're really bullshitting each other and can't stand each other. Wow! Must be a super hero to be so damned perceptive.

You're the best moderator I've ever encountered. Full stop.

I agree. That's why I started this thread (even though it's got out of control). I believe everyone here is being honest. Why would they lie. Double full stop.

Honesty is one thing, tactlessness is something else entirely. Deliberate tactlessness is not, and should not be tolerated. Fair enough. But an honest opinion which doesn't chime with yours doesn't make it right to hound and persecute someone. Walk away if you disagree with someone and can't solve it politely. Don't send childish messages.

Okay, well I may have written some crap and may have been a little childish in my humour, but this is my explaination for this.

I'm a 34 year old single parent with no supportive family and with friends who I don't want to burden because they have young families of their own.

I have diabetes and am aware that I am a ticking time bomb waiting to fall to bits.

I have manic depression (BP1 with full blown psychotic tendencies).

I like to laugh. If I did not find humour in things, I would crumble. I wouldn't be able to face the day - or life.

I love Maniac. She is a really good friend. She makes me laugh. She keeps me company night after endless night. She speaks her mind. She should be allowed to do so without being bullied. She should be allowed to say her bit without certain individuals insulting her and sending her fucking BONES on facebook and being SICK over. It is all very well saying to her to walk away if she doesn't like what she reads, but doesn't that work both ways? I may have written silly jokes but this level of childishness really does win hands down. You know who you are. You really should be ashamed. If you wanted to hurt her - YOU WON. I hope you're proud.

Oh come on, you want to talk about bullying? Since I got here all I've seen out of her is a bully attitude. I'm over her attitude and enough is enough. It's all well and good that she makes you laugh and tickles your fancy but I'll be damned, I haven't seen any of that cheeriness out of her.

To be honest, I wouldn't be suprised if tracy and maniac were the same person. Whether literally or surgically I'm not sure. I've got an idea, instead of tracy coming here to make excuses for maniac, how about maniac grow up and take responsibility for her own actions. Perhaps then she would be taken more seriously.

If anyone should be ashamed it's maniac. She acts like a child and we're sick of it. That being said, I thought the "sick" episode was quite fitting. Don't dish it if you can't take it.

That is all.

I can assure you that I do not suffer from a multiple personality disorder!

Do you think it is fair to bully someone on Facebook by sending them a bone and being sick over them? Does it make you feel happy that someone is in pieces at this moment?

Its getting to be like a mob culture on here. Not at all the supportive environment you like to pretend it is. And for the record, Red, I wasn't aiming my comments to you, so thanks for the fucking slamming!!! (See what I mean?)

Do you think it's fair to bully people here like she has multiple times? Hello pot, meet kettle. Does it make her feel happy to upset people? I assure you she has. To be completely honest with you, I don't care about her current state. When she ripped into me for no reason, somehow I managed to end up feeling like the guilty one. How I let myself feel bad about that situation I'll never know.

I don't know about Mob culture, but she can't expect to jump on one without having to deal with the rest. Does she think we'll all sit back and let abuse happen? Sure, some of it was childish and immature, but to be honest, I thought it was something she could relate to better. But since I didn't even have her as a friend on Facebook, I didn't get to see some of it happen.

If you took that as a slam to yourself, then it's your personal problem and not mine. My only problem with you is that you come in here making excuses for her.

Fin.

Seems to me very convenient that we can all "forget" (apart from a couple of us, obviously) that Maniac has been a good friend on here. As I pointed out to you, Red, at the time - she was one of those who stood up for me when someone else (now banned) was being an arse. She said some harsh words for which she later apologised but if other people can't let it go then that's up to them.

Despite my own problems I'll be keeping out of this part of the forum in future.

Obviously the problem here isn't Maniac, it's me. I was wrong for taking offence for any of the things she did to anyone here, myself included. I was wrong to stick up for my friends. So please stay and I'll go. I'm still new so I won't be missed, I never contributed anything worth reading anyway. It was nice while it lasted. Goodbye guys and gals.

This is getting stupid now. Nobody needs to leave. No one should feel like they're being bullied or coerced into leaving. Can everyone please stop being mean to each other?

Of course it's silly, it's all to do with emotions. That's why robots should rule the world. I don't feel like I'm being coerced to leave either. Obviously everything got blown out of proportion and while I wasn't trying to be mean, I tend to be brutally honest and call it like I see it. All I saw was someone upsetting my "friends" and much to my mistake I reacted and stuck up for them. I'm sorry and I'm leaving. Don't feel bad that I am, I don't. It's really not a big deal that I'm going.

I wasn't talking about anyone specifically I just want to see everyone in general calm down.

Why do you have to go Red Raven? :'( You're a good member. It's not join date that counts it's the quality of the person and their posts.

I started this thread so this is my fault. I'm not getting into the argument, but NOBODY should leave, not Red, not Ratty, not Maniac. We should pull together, not fight.
