/agree

I do believe that's against the rules, anyway...

I'm with you there and then some.. I HATE people that claim to be friends and then pull this shit... I won't be quiet about it either!

good! We have to watch after our friends.. ^/_\^

*claps* and I had been telling people this for a while and I was not believed at all.

I had warned Honeytail about it and this morning she showed me that.

I just wish that I had been more vocal, but her goon squads had targeted me on many occassions.

I had been close for a while with her, but then it had been a terrible series of events that lead to not wanting to deal with a lot of people and due to her, it often takes me a while to trust people.

In the beginning, she seemed to be a nice person, kinda made one want to do nice things for her because it felt good to make her feel good...however, on occassion there would be someone that apparently was being "this horrible beast of a person that was harassing her" and of course it would get posted on her board where members would often take it upon themselves to either privately (on the board) ridicule said person or on the more extreme go out and ridicule/harass the so called harasser who probably had a "wtf did I do?" set of emotions to them.

When she gets bored with someone, she will do this. When she wanted something, either fan art or in some cases as it had been with me and another money, it was mainly the only time she would get in contact.

I do agree that anyone who takes their jollies in ridiculing people is a horrid person. I also think that it is a poor way to treat those that were friends as well as fans of someone.

I had to block her and a few others on a couple of sites due to the harassment I had endured...this site being one of them.

Knowing her, she's setting herself up for the "All these horrible people are harrassing me because of a picture I did for fun" route to play the innocent victim.

Sounds like a couple of people I delt with in the real... sucks big time and took me forever to get to trust people again. Everything is always someone elses fault... But to hell with it this time, definately choose the wrong sweet gal to pick on. You have my sympathies for having to deal with that on your own Blade, no one should have to...

Aye most definately *hugs* thank you.

I'm sorry to hear that you had to go through that with people face to face, if it's wretching just on the net at times then it is absolutely horrible then.

I hope things'll get better for you and all. *hugs*

Oh they are *hugs and grins* that took place years ago, but kinda made Highschool suck really badly... met a whole bunch of cool people in College, and well a real cool guy here as well. Things be good ;)

That's good to hear that things turned for the better for you ^_^

*hugs again*

*nods* Backstabbing... erf. I've had to deal wiht it myself recently.. which kind of adds fuel to my fires..

I've always believed like this though.. and peopel learn they don't mess wiht my friends.. I'm vry vocal when I wish to be. ^/_\^

trust me, more than just backstabbing. Emotionally manipulative as well as everything else.

sorry to hear that it has happened to you as well *hugs* I'm glad that you're strong like that.

and as I told Honeytail/Vera this morning...if anyone at AC asks me about if she is going to be there...I will be obligated to charge them.

Well Backstabbing is all that to me, emotional manipulations, slander behind ones bakc, wihtout any apology when they are discovered.. ect..

I am fairly strong, but.. I've had some damn good friends helping me too, Era, Kolmeck, Shimmari.. I owe them a lot.

And that's part of the reason I'm saying this now... Is becuase I want Vera, and all my toher frineds to know I won't let them be affected like that.. they've got friends.. and I, for one, am willing to help them no matter what. ^/_\^

Not to pass a judgement or anything since I hardly know circumstances of this particular case or people involved so take this more as my general opinion of these sort things.

I rarely think of the internet being a 'serious place' but at least I have a smidgen of social skill to realize what might not count as appropriate behaviour and apologize if needed. Imho internet is not all that much different from the real world. Though if you do think it is, the chances are that you are the same kind of person in the real world that you are on the internet.

People are different, some think this is a playground, some take it as a battleground, some respect other people, some don't take any responsibility and some just 'are there'. Because people are different it's never wise to do anything possibly offensive towards them if you don't how they are going to take it no matter how 'fun' it might seem at first.

I mostly shake off insults and the like(or just talk to the source of them until they give up and resort to spamming) but what really hurts me is when I see idiots gang up on a nice sweet person that can't take the heat and that they know it(mind you I'm talking about a different case here). Anyhow I pity those who need to make fun of others to have some joy in their life.

"the internet- the ultimate bathroom wall"
-foxtrot

usually I'm like that myself.. exept when it's a friend I've known for some time, evne on the net. You think you know someone then they turn around and do this.. still hurts. no matter the form, you know?

that's part of th reason this is so.. well.. stupid really.. is because one friend did this to another.

M'yes, saw that image before and didn't find anything funny about it, even if it has some hidden joke inside it - Vera and Blade are my friends, so I'm totally on their side of things. ^-^

Mine to! Though I don't know Blade well.. I'd like to know her more. Hehe... same wiht you. ^/_\^

*Snickers* Thanks! Well we might learn to know each other later on, there is plenty of time for it. ^-^

Ok, I've thought I have seen it all, but I guess I was totally wrong. It's a really sad day when one must resort to such a thing just to make themselves feel good. I could go on with psychological mumble-jumble that I've learned about this sort of stuff (not to mention boring heh), but I will save that for another day.

Needless to say, seeing this occuring really pisses me off as I have gone through this many times in my life and know what it feels like. Also, to so openly attack someone, and a lifestyle in a forum made for said lifestyle, is beyond disrespectful. It also makes me wonder wether the individuals in question might be in need of said psychological help.

Right now, all we can really hope for, is the admins of this site to immediately remove the image and the comments on said image, not to mention possible banning for the flaming those people did. Normally I would say something along the lines that one day, karma will catch up and they too will feel the pain they have put others through, but this is one issue I would not wish on even my worst enemy. However, give them a few years and hopefully they will reach puberty and finally find their grasp on maturity.

Now, with that out of the way *goes and gnaws on a badgers tail so he can bask in his glory*

she actually added that pic as her WebCam shot on her DA page.

Honestly I know only one person really involved in that argument so I probably will be looked on as an outsider. However attacking someone in such a fashion is low, as stated numerous times in both the forum and the journal.

It pains me truthfully to see that the level of maturity is going down while the average age of the internet is rising. I can only say it will get alot worse before it gets better.

Whomever it was directed to I am truly sorry for their stupid ways of having fun, and even though I am not responsible you deserve an apology for being attacked like that.

That is my two cents.
