Great thread Laine, reminded me of a quote by Morris Adler : “We visit others as a matter of social obligation. How long has it been since we have visited with ourselves ?”

but surely you have to know someone for real to make such statements? and if what i type upsets you, the namechanger then i suggest you dont read anything with my name on it, simples…….. like you…
Hi Laine,
Not sure which statements you are referring to since I was only responding to your statement “wonders who the victim is mechanic alludes to???” – so I outlined what Urban Dictionary says is a victim. I don’t need to know anyone to read that from the Dictionary.And what you type does not upset me at all – whatever gave you that idea ? My comments on what you write may not be “nice” but that does not mean I am upset – just commenting on stuff on the boards which I believe is why anyone posts anything there … so that others may comment on it.

personally, i don’t consider myself a victim, im a survivor, and. i have never felt the need to change my name i am me, will always be me
what is chatterbox anyways? not heard of that one.
Seeing as you are a fan of the Urban Dictionary – I have picked a few meanings of “victim” from it (pick any that seems most apt):
Victim:
1 Anyone involved in a misfortunate situation such as ridicule, injury, death, taken advantage of etc.2 One who has been afflicted by unspeakable tragedy, often by their own mental retardation and foetal urges.
3 Anyone who is challenged in any way….such as fashion, socially, etc. Someone who is generally annoying.
4 Anyone who has encountered Chuck Norris.
Oh and that Chatterbox place ? the Urban Dictionary has something for that too. Apparently I should have called it UKCB and the correct name is UKChatterbox. I like their no nonsense definition here : Online UK Chat service, containing rooms of many types and for various people.

also while im at it I feel that chat needs a good culling,get rid of the deadwood,get shut of these chatters that continue to make peoples lives miseries
we all know who they are
no point culling the boards tho,for 1,theres not many of us
2,we don’t abuse
3,hardly any name changers.
so what do you think about that like?
its simple just rip up their i.ps and throw them in the bin where they belong
treat them like scum,ostracise them,send them into exile on a far flung distant chatroom
lets see if they will listen to their abusive shyte.I agree with you there rogue trader. Anyone who has caused trouble on more than one chatsite cant be any good. Start by getting rid of them and you’ll be on your way to a good cull. However ripping up their IP’s doesn’t work as they will just log on from an internet café and still cause unnecessary heartache … so seems we can never get rid of them – we might as well get used to life with the likes of them… it’s par for the course. Just develop a thick skin and that works much better.

couldnt sleep. so having a cuppa then ill try again.
i have noticed something. and i guess as the saying goes…. better out than in. oh. thats wind isnt it, well never mind.
it appears that just my name being on here or in chat is now considered goading. even though i dont speak to said person, or allude anything toward said person. there is nothing i can do about that if in said persons head she sees people speaking to me in chat she considers my only thought is said person, that is said persons imagination and not fact surely?
does it mean that only said person is an “alcy” ( a word i have never used in chat) or is it because i am tea-total for the most part and only imbibe on rare special occasions? and there is in fact a type of jealousy that i can handle myself? without the need to keep calling others horrible names like who re and the like?
i like a giggle yeah course i do, but if someone would spend time in chat just watching me (and i dont mean said person) they would see i have not an ounce of malice in my chat words.
tonight was a good example.
dezbolten – used the “c” word to describe himself. i replied to that because it was in a public chatroom with – and i quote “but they’re useful dez youre not” the reply i got i considered uncalled for and very very personal. basically alluding that i was a prostitute and that even my father and brother had had me – did i react? no……. what’s the point, if its banter i’ll reply, to personal insult i refuse to. i put him quietly on ignore.so, taking all this drivel i have written into consideration, would you say i am a mean and nasty person who picks at people? or is it more likely someone has decided they cannot even stand my name being seen and has to make up in their heads that i have done this that and the other?
going to finish my cup of tea now and then try sleeping again.
Becoming a “victim” of abuse in one chatroom (for example Chatterbox) can be considered a normal chat hazard. Becoming a “victim” of abuse in 2 chatroom (for example Chatterbox and UKChatters) can be considered very bad luck. But becoming a “victim” of abuse in 3 chatrooms (for example Chatterbox, UKChatters, and JustChat) must make any reasonable person take a very good look at how they conduct themselves in chat …

You have a list of worries ???? :shock:
…as a matter of fact I do … it’s good for reminding me I am still human when I see who or what is not on it !
@laine wrote:
That so made me laugh……….” at least admitted….” think im the least of your worries on here lol
Not just “the least” of my worries … you are not even on “the list” of my worries…
You could at least have owned up to the fact that you had lifted this verbatim from Urban Dictionary … http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Keyboard+Warrior

no-one should have to apologise for being nice or different but it seems if you’re nice some will try to bring you down.
we all have opinions, but personal insult isnt really necessary is it?I guess it’s when people know they are “nice” and want everyone else to acknowledge their “niceness” that they rub everyone the wrong way. If you are nice then you shouldn’t have to tell people you are – they should just know !
