Absolutely agree. I hope you step back and think about the way you are speaking with others in your posts. Telling others to shut up and name-calling is juvenile and boorish behavior. Constantly stirring things up with accusations of rudeness in order to write long rants makes a poster a candidate for the 10 foot pole list.
Nobody cares whether someone is writing a book. Nobody cares whether someone is desperate for attention.
Toggle!
Before you criticize me, please take some time to understand how much I put up with and the context of those remarks, roflwofl.
I never said a SINGLE rude or insulting thing (I ask you or anyone here to read my entire post history from the day I signed up) to the day I said "shut up" to brgriffin and ListSTL (a week ago?) or told brfiffin she/he was a "jerk" (last night).
I guarantee you won't find a single rude/offensive remark. I don't make jokes, I don't insult, nor am I rude to people. I took the abuse for about 4 months. Would a person have a right after 4 months of abuse by a gang of posters on this forum (many seemingly taking cheap shots and side swipes out of nowhere) to tell a person to shut up after they'd JUST been rude and insulting to me yet again on the FIRST DAY I came back after leaving for said abuse?
Do I have a right to do that? Am I wrong for that?
4 months of abuse + leave of absence for said abuse + abuse on first day back. Am I the person in the wrong? It's like telling a rape victim, "Hey, step back and look at your own behavior. Yeah, you may have been sexually harassed for four months and never did anything to provoke it, but you shouldn't have called your attacker a jerk or told your attackers to shut up for insulting you."
That'd be outrageous, right? That's the context here.
Where were you criticizing these other folks who harassed me for those 4 months? Did you ever tell them to stop? Did you ever report them? Did you ever defend me?
edit: Sorry for the tone with these questions above, rofl. I'm extremely sensitive after so much abuse here that I can get emotional from having to even talk about this situation. I'm just saying, though, if you never tried to stop my attackers, then you have no right to criticize me only.
The two things I ever said that can be considered rude were telling two people who literally just abused me to "shut up" and another person who just said something rude that that person was a "jerk." I'm not STARTING the abuse/insults/rudeness (I even explicitly said I wanted PEACE that same day I came back only to be mocked by Irene in my thread - which I ignored). I'm defending myself against the abusers/provokers!
That's the difference!
edit2: I think my attackers should Toggle me or be asked to leave this forum rather than me having to toggle them or be told I'm rude for defending myself after 4 months of abuse. I don't even start the provocation!
