Do people really remember names of those who have offended them on message boards? I am referring to laters thread and some others. There seems to be personal attacks going on. This is a message board peeps, I don't understand those that post things in other threads. I was reading a post about something then I read a sarcastic reply about me that had nothing what so ever to do with the original thread at all. That is scary to me that some one seems to dislike me on a MESSAGE BOARD!!!!! This is not real life folks. I know I have had arguments and disagreements with posters in the past but I can't recall who they were with and what they were about. I don't hold a grudge with those that disagree with me and I don't really even look to see who the poster is, I just reply.

There are only two posters I remember specifically for being bitches. One attacked another (very much loved) poster on another, mellow, board, and then continued the attack in several threads. I've also read some of her other posts and I'm just not impressed. I remember her so that I remember to avoid her, she isn't worth my time or energy.

Well I remember people being bitches at that time I am reading, and there is a lot and I am sure I have expressed my opinion at one point or other. Sarcasm doesn't go well with me and I don't really understand why some even bring it too other threads. I can understand in the heat of the moment in a thread but otherwise leave it there. I am also suprised at the cliques, that one of the clique will say something nasty and it gets ignored but when another person not in the clique says essentially the same thing he/she gets jumped on. It is hypocritical.

I posted the same on another thread and will post it again here.
You can start fresh with a new screen name.
Those who are mean spirited will eventually be discovered and hopefully dealt with by the new moderators. Unlike some of the old moderators.
Maybe there is a way to contact the chief Moderator also? It seems to be [glow=red,2,300]Moonbeam [/glow]if I am reading all this stuff correctly?

Naggie - for my 2-cents worth - and you can take it or leave it. Start fresh. Most of the threads from the other board were biotching or complaining about someone in your family. People tried to give you suggestions for handling your many crises, and then you would become offended or upset. Use this place as a getaway from your R/L instead of dragging it around with you. You'll feel a lot better.

I don't but then I have a terrible memory for names (faces I'm good with but not names). I will remember someone's posts (if they do a lot of them) that go directly opposite my political views. That's mostly because I think about the posts a lot & try to figure out where they are coming from (kind of like I add those facts together & get this & they get that, how could we see the same thing & get totally opposite results). As for grudges, nope I don't hold one....life is to short.
I assume that your post is about the MODS. Well some people have problems with authority figures & they will go thru life having problems with authority figures. That's part of their mental makeup & just the way it is. It doesn't really bother me except in the instance where that trait is mixed with them not being able to let things go. I do get tired of hearing snide comments on the same thing day after day.

aha totally way of base scottie lassie. I was responding to later who seemed to be upset ( maybe rightly so) and I just stated that I didn't understand it. It makes me believe that some are sitting there with a notebook and writing down screen names because I certainly do not remember who I have disagreed with and couldn't name names even if I wanted to. Most of the threads from the other board were biotching or complaining about someone in your family. People tried to give you suggestions for handling your many crises, and then you would become offended or upset. Use this place as a getaway from your R/L instead of dragging it around with you Read more: notmsnmoney.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=fun&action=display&thread=419#ixzz19FcivdX9Really scottish lassie, do you not see the hypocracy in your post....I am LOL at that. I have never had problems with posting my family affairs and contrary to what you might believe scottish lassie I never have an agenda when I replying to a thread unlike you with YOUR POST...I AM CRACKING UP at your hypocracy. This is not about the mods at all, it is not written for anyone in particular. I don't remember who was sarcastic about me in another thread. I know it happened but I have no idea who it was though. I don't pay attention to the screen names.. I read a title and think "oh this seems interesting" and go on. I would really like to itterate (is that a word) that this is not about the mods at all. I was just refferring to laters post and people rememebering who pissed them of and the go on the attack at the person all the time and into other threads. I am just stating a general observation and trying to say that I don't remember who is nasty much further than after reading the thread and going on to another one.

You took what I said entirely out of context. Oh, well - I tried.

Some of us do remember posters based on what they've posted good or bad. SL, no worries.

Basically you wanted to be snarky then come back and say "no, no I didn't mean it like that" if you didn't mean to be snarky you could have either not said anything at all or left out a lot of your post..AND fwiw I absolutely do not get upset at peoples genuine reply I get upset at snarkiness. If you can't see some of the snarkiness on my threads then I don't know what to say to you. I do not get upset at posters giving me advice, and my defending myself to those who like to snark is not getting upset at them disagreeing with me, it is the people that just want to be a bitch on a thread and there ain't no reason to be, ignore the post or be snarly to my face not anonymously.

Oh and I think laters post was excellent. She was getting it of her chest. I didn't read it all because I wasn't interested but I certainly wasn't getting on the band wagon and getting involved with it. I think we should be able to express our opinions but we don't have to be mean. As a long time poster on the original boards said "use the handy slider on the right" and move along.

People don't remember another poster who says one or two things in passing. People remember posters who are consistently complaining about them or belittling them.

Yeah J, I don't know if you are agreeing with me or not but that is the point I am trying to make. I am not pointing any poster out cos I don't think past reading a thread and thinking "That wasn't very nice" and then I move along. I guess that is what I am trying to say. I do think at the time of reading a thread that someone is not being very nice on a thread (mine or someone elses) but I don't then retaliate or belittle them on another thread. I think it then I move on and the next time I am on the message boards I don't have an agenda to be mean to that person who I deemed mean to me.
And I will be the first to admit that sometimes what I think was mean was sarcasm and maybe wasn't meant to be mean but you can really tell when a poster continues to be snarky all the time to a poster.

I am putting myself out there with this but when I am posting about my family or my life it is probably because I am hurting so it doesn't help when I see posts on a thread of mine that are snarky, I just don't get kicking someone when they are down.
Yes I know, I know I am sensitive....I will try harder to get a thicker skin in 2011.

I look to my friends for support (some of whom are on EE), but not strangers. Having said that, I do try to be supportive of all posters, but being supportive doesn't mean giving the poster what they want to hear.

the only names I remember (and avoid) are the few with a track record of being butt heads. Lucky me - I don't have to read their drivel I also realize that some of the posts were NOT intended the way I was reading them...we have some very DRY humor at times, and I can appreciate that. there are those who consistently go after people, then feign innocence when called on it. There are a few who say things just for shock value...hoping for a reaction. When somebody specifically asks that a name NOT be used to refer to them and a poster continues to use that name to the point of being banned repeatedly...well, I have no use for the offending poster any more. To the best of my knowledge, we don't have toddlers posting on these boards. So...to one specific poster: YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE...grow up & act like an adult. I have no problem with a good debate. I enjoy hearing different points of view. oooohhhhh...just noticed we have karma again. Looks like that high I was feeling today was from being exalted. Thanks!

My point is that there are some posters who had a longstanding pattern of being mean to somebody else. When said target was a mod, they had to hold their tounges to a certain degree -- it's part of being a mod. I have no problem recalling several posters that have been problematic to me in the past, because it wasn't an isolated occurance.

I am very glad that I now know that I am not being too sensitive or insane. Another poster has verified that there are posters that go after others. there are those who consistently go after people, then feign innocence when called on it Read more: notmsnmoney.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=fun&action=display&thread=419#ixzz19GFpi49RI don't know who this poster is referring too but it seemed to be ignored on the other board that sometimes I thought I must be crazy or imagining it.

Really J, you do remember. I am asking this for real. I don't think about it the next day or anything. I notice it that day but I don't remember the next time I am on the boards or anything. I guess I haven't been that stalked that it is consistent, just on a thread at a time. I agree about the mods, they must have balls of steel.
