This thread has certainly been a strange one. One poster attacks another by telling the poster to "fuck off" and then is portrayed as the victim of veiled personal attacks. It's hard to imagine going to a new board somewhere and telling one of the members to go fuck themselves and then to complain about the way I was treated. Maybe it's because I'm a guy.
I'm sorry, but with all due respect, I cannot let this one go.
Dr. Evil, it's your board to do with what you wish, but I truly don't understand what YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.
TB accused Christianne of USING MEN. That was fine in your book, but it was NOT fine for Christianne to react to that heinous false accusation - and YES, SHE DID MEAN CHRISTIANNE. (sheesh) But TB is clever that way - poor girl, bright as she is, she probably spent all of five seconds ascertaining how she could make a personal attack and make it seem as though it was not.
I am, quite frankly, shocked that you, as a psychologist, are not on to TB's extremely passive-agressive, ostensibly subtle (but shockingly obvious) manipulations here. Biscuit Queen was so right about TB being able to "fly in under the radar".
I completely broke the rules with my rant. I take responsibility for that. But I don't see how you don't see how Typhon continues to manipulate. She's the first to decry the "batting your eyelashes" technique for attention, but she's got it down to a fine art.
I don't like her. I make no apologies for that. I understand her better than she thinks I do. I won't analyze her here - that would be unfair and unkind.
I think everyone here knows me for what I truly am - no, it's not always pretty, but it's very real. I'm emotional, lonely, a bit insecure, volatile, sincere, dedicated. I go off at times. My language is apalling. (Yours would be too, if you spent 9 years as a JW unable to even say "damn".)
But I digress.
I shouldn't even be posting, what with my father so ill and yes, I'm afraid death is soon - but with all respect, I just don't see how you can't see it.
And no, I'm not paranoid. In fact, I'm going to make a very bold statement here: I'm actually very on target with my observations and have been called on numerous occassions a
"very wise woman".
Do I think you should change anything? No, I do not. If TB feels that way, fine - she should be able to express herself. ANd I say this knowing that you let me off the hook without a warning for MY behaviour.
I know it's almost impossible to be even handed and fair in all instances, but I truly don't see where you have given fair consideration to BQ. BQ was rational, respectful and fair, and basically she was blown off. HEre, at least.
And now I've said what I needed to say. No, no one needed to hear it.
But that's life.
