[META] God bless america!
freedom of speech

I have been called Stupid, cryptic and schizophrenic while on this site for one week. I have also had personal emails sent to me that were less than nice. If you found out I was a Black woman who was a single mother, I am sure more would come!

It is OK for you to mock others "via Private mail", but god forbid we try to help others!

If you had a question, ask.

Hypocracy!



And the reveiws are not good! Tell a friend...hah!

I'm sorry...same happened to me

I'm sorry, gamehead, the same happened to me.

Yesterday I wound up so upset that I couldn't even talk for most of the night. Everything I said was ridiculed. (And, weird thing is, it was stuff I was following up that YOU and another person said that I thought was IMPORTANT.)

My feelings were so hurt I thought my husband was gonna kick my tail to MAKE me get offline and not let a bunch of strangers hurt me like that.

People are jerks. I'm sorry.

Go back to the thread you were in, earlier today.

I looked into what all you were saying, expanded a bit...I think we have the right idea. See if you think we're onto something?

Ignore the others. People are people and no matter where you go, there you are. They never change. Sad

Just don't let them change YOU.

Deb

Hey, I am too old to change
I just know BS when I see it

Did you notice that when we are close, the comments come? The posts of our silliness for suggesting "such a thing" whatever the suggestion may be?

Look, just go your way and don't bother sharing. What is going on here is not honest.


Love and hugs

Speaking as a moderator, if someone is harassing and/or flaming you, they are violating our Terms of Service, and if you contact one of us, we will look into the matter and try to help if we determine that the TOS is being violated (NOTE: People disagreeing with you, even strongly, is not necessarily the same as flaming or harassment).

I do have to note that from your initial post here, I thought you were a troll, so I'm not surprised if you rubbed people the wrong way. However, if you believe you are being harassed in violation of the TOS, please contact a forum admin or moderator privately to resolve the matter.

And now I am a troll?

Yeh, I feel much better.

I was not happy when I did my first post. I was corrected and I apologized.

Now I am a troll on top of everything else? Yeh, I sure will send you my complaints...

NOT

Is it because I am black?

*sigh*

1) I said when you first posted I thought you were a troll.

2) Until you brought up your race, no one here had any idea what it was, so I think that's irrelevant in the way people reacted to you.

3) I'm still not understanding why you're upset, but if you're going to fly off the handle at an offer of help and a request for more information, I'm not sure how you expect to get any help.

true enough
I am sure upset

OK, I will privately post all emails I have received to your link.

Fair enough.

But know that I am disappointed. I really wanted to play some other ARG's on this site.

If you do listen to me and others that have been victim to arrogance and rudeness, I will definitely be grateful.

Anyone else in on this?

FYI, it is also against the TOS to register multiple accounts. I suggest you pick one and ask the admins to delete the other two before they notice and get annoyed with the TOS violation.

If anyone is being harassed via pm (personal email addresses aren't visible to anyone, so I don't know what happened here), please contact a moderator or administrator, and we'll address the problem asap. That's what we're here for. Smile Meanwhile, please don't abuse our moderators as they're here to help facilitate everyone's fun.

That being said, realgamehead, please contact one of the unfiction admins so we can help you choose which login you'd like to use (or fix whatever login problem you're apparently having), as having multiple accounts is definitely not a good thing.

Thanks, and we hope you all are enjoying your stay.

About the site...Peace, my friend

Sorry, gamehead and mods and super, I was gone, I have a cat having kittens (and trying to kill the ones already born while the new ones are born so we're fighting her)...but that's beside the point...

Gamehead, sometimes what people type SEEMS like something that is really not what's intended. I've been online a long time. So many times I've felt insulted when the other person just TYPED it in a way that they really didn't mean it to sound insulting.

As for your being black, I'm not!! People disagree because they disagree, it's just the way life is. I didn't have any idea...and it certainly makes no difference. Color is not a measure of intelligence or ability, nor does it matter when this world is done.

I don't see color. You should not see it either - or assume that because they disagree or get on your case, it's because of your color - because, as the mods said, no one even knows unless you tell them.

People disagree because they disagree. They get on my case too. Because they disagree. Not because I am a woman or disabled or white or abused or any other reason but that they have a different opinion and some are more prone to state their opinions more strongly than I would do.

The constitution grants all of us the right to that opinion...but nothing grants us the right to hurt others and I really don't think that was anyone's intention.

Okay?

May you find Peace my friend and God bless...

Many hugs and much love to you!!

Deb Smile

waaah

Welcome to forums... everyone is like that, don't take it personal. Go look on any message board anywhere about anything and that's what you'll find. The game is over tomorrow anyway, you should be happily planning what you will do with your 0.00002 cents.

Earnest T., you said it well, and I agree. I've been on forums a very long time and it happens on all of them.
People need to remember the golden rule, and treat others as you would like to be treated. That's not so hard to live by at all.
Realgamehead, I've enjoyed your postings. You're not obligated to share any info here, and I do wish you luck with the contest. Smile

To the mods and sups
Fight for your right to party...lol....well, maybe not

Phaedra and Steve and Kona and all....

I know you take alot. I couldn't do your job, it would kill me and break my heart, probably.

I give you great credit for your fight to keep things fair and right and your ability to intervene when it is needed.

You probably don't hear this often enough but I thank you, give you a great big pat on the back and...

Kudos Very Happy


Deb
