Oh, I better go back and read. I think I missed something and that is unacceptable!

Love this, Ruby!

Sometime it's pretty easy to tell when someone is posting drunk. I tend to be like Ruby and walk away. I'm sure it would be harder if I was the one that was offended. I agree that it takes away from the intent of this forum--it becomes a source of entertainment for some. (Me included) And it tends to snowball.

It's too bad, but I tend to agree with being SOL. :h

I would add, that what was most troublesome to me, is that it happened in the middle of someone else's thread.

Oney it goes back to what Hart was saying about wishing everyone would just BE NICE, and then saying she thinks she's sol and I agreed that it's an impossible ideal...

My Opinion

Yeah, what Gia said. Just drop the "shit" part. It means "outa luck." Or, "forget it!"!

In Oz, SOL = "shit on the liver", i.e. grumpy or out-of-sorts.

Hi all,
I just wanted to comment that I too get the "skin crawlies" when misunderstandings, hurt feelings (often miscontrued by inflection and lack of face-to-face communication) have been the source of way too many seeds of discord over the time that I have been here. I think it pretty much comes with the territory on a website -- there will always be those who seem to have one desire: STIR THE POT.

But I also think that when someone is being blatantly verbally abusive, etc... that it should be addressed both by PM's, but also these people should be called on the carpet.

All of that to say, I didnt say anything on the thread started by Kim. I tend to hope the stronger, more respected individuals here who keep this place in check will take care of it! (I'm wimpy ).

Having said that, there have and appear to be those who pop in and out who possibly could be very destructive and I for one tend to try and err on the side of cautiousness. Sometimes I would like to post more than I do, but I am leary of revealing to much of myself here. I tend to pipe up more when I struggle the most.

In reference to "Kim", there are some of us here who have quite a long history of abuse from this person. She has addressed me multiple times via PMs (although not recently) in the past when she was under different names. I have had concerned messages left for me from my friends here (very recently) that she has made threats to me and others personally outside of MWO. I am not sure what her issues are with anyone else, but I know for me personally she does not like me for sticking up for a friend a long time ago. I didnt play her game. She has been abusive to some of the kindest people here... a huge red flag to me. (I'm not talking about me...LOL!) She has had no less than seven different names that I am aware of, and has sent a PM recently stating that she was another member here. Just nuts. Anyway, the reason I am piping up to share this is because sometimes people can be "over the top" abusive here, and although Kim's thread was hard to understand, those of us who know her history knew there was something much bigger going on. We had another member here a few years ago that had a similar pattern who was banned on multiple occasions only to return under new names. So I certainly do not encourage jumping on bandwagons to dash people, but some have asked me why I havent said much about it, so here's why. Thanks for the ramble!

I still don't get it at all.

There are lots of weird people everywhere.

But since when does that justify drama in reaction? Just because other people do it, is no excuse for us also to do it. Right?
