I'll put my email address in my profile, so that predictions can be submitted.

Basically, screw up, co workers will highlight it, come up with a great idea, they will co-opt it.

Randall:

If you don't want people to "gripe," then you shouldn't have created a forum in which people would be invited to share their darker emotions. I created my own venting thread, so that my own would be kept away from those who didn't want to experience them. Hell, a lot of the time, I haven't posted AT ALL.I only started the thread to invite others to do the same, so that people wouldn't complain about people "moaning." Also, the Global Unity forum invites a lot of that, so that would have to cease to exist.

You remember the facebook scandal from a few years ago. Do you know why I was considered as some sort of snitch? Because I was on good terms with you, and Ami, and PlutoSquared. I wasn't badmouthing you, and I kept posting here with a good attitude, so obviously me and a few others just had to be in cahoots with you, and anyone acting in a childish manner, correct? When I woke up to find that someone had passed something along, and I was one of the people being blamed for it, I was stunned, and it hurt me, a lot. I didn't like the person doing the trolling, and he was rude to me and created trouble for me - I actually thought that he had possibly forwarded things himself, because he just loved to stir up trouble. Then, days later, I was told that YOU had outed me as whomever it was who was spying for you. You called that person a liar, but on the actual day in which your girlfriend posted a thread to yell at me, without naming me, but to shame me just the same, and I responded, you stood up for Ami, but never once posted in that thread, or to your girlfriend, that I wasn't the person who was causing trouble. Later on you did, because it hadn't worked and people found out the truth. It may have all been cleared up in a day, but it wasn't for me. I was already dealing with A LOT, only to find myself back in a high school situation that I'd deliberately dropped out of twenty years beforehand, due to bullying. And it happened after I posted in that group, that I didn't feel loyal to you, if you were spying on adults in a private forum that had nothing to do with you - a handful of people were ****** , and the rest of us understood why, but didn't join in.

Ancient history, right? I didn't intend to hold a grudge, but it is a part in a sequence of events, at least one of which still ties into this site: my being treated like I'm untrustworthy; whether or not it's because of who I'm associated with (good people, actually), it's still an insult to my own character. So someone who has treated me like I can't be trusted, and then apologized, and then done it again, and then again - she defends me in a forum that I hardly ever visit, so I'm unlikely to see it, and then a day later, drops me again, as she's trying to find out who is saying things about the two of you. I wasn't doing anything, but as usual, I'm made a part of it. When I'd just lost my dog, and ended up dealing with the failure of two more friendships, all because I disagreed with a quote, and I came back to find that had descended into World War III. And now I'm a bad guy, but they're besties and all is right in the world for THEM. SO, I made ONE post on another forum, after reading that I wasn't trustworthy, and what happens? "Oh, that Teasel, I just KNEW she wasn't trustworthy!!! I openly defended her, but hot damn, was I right?! She made ONE post, when angry and feeling defeated, so she MUST be openly shamed and punished! and then left unable to defend herself, so that she can start a new thread to do so, and end up looking batshit crazy!"

I have other **** going on - A LOT of it - and I have posted in threads that deal with suicide, or other such thoughts, because they were there. So you really can't complain about griping, unless someone is supposed to be suicidal, but otherwise living in the land of Unicorns and Rainbows, all to make everyone else feel better around them. I don't live in the Land of Unicorns and Rainbows. I haven't for a long time now.
But I try. And I had managed to get my good feelings up, and so thought I'd post here when I was in a good mood! How about that?! Just as I used to. I used to edit out anything that was too dramatic, as well, embarrassed that I'd expressed myself that much to anyone.

I own any obnoxiousness and anger on my part, but do you know what I also own? All of the kindness and support that I have expressed over the past eleven years - the good humour, and the times that I have tried to be of help, even though I wasn't sure that I could be.

And do you remember when my "griping and moaning" started? Well, isn't that interesting: it was late 2010, when I was stabbed in the back multiple times, and thrown under a bus when I hadn't done anything wrong. And other parts of my life weren't going well, so I'd expressed that to people I thought of as friends, who encouraged me to open up in the first place.

Randall, this is obviously something that is bothering her. I've noticed you use the 'i have no idea what you are talking about' or 'i don't remember that' line before and brush things off, sweep them under a rug. A smirky face and a curt reply is rather cold. As was telling her, not so nicely, to delete her email address in the other threads (here and in the other forum) and then insinuating that she's ignoring your request.

As the webmaster of this forum, it surprises me that you treat some longtime valuable members the way you do. A grown adult man would have expressed it differently, especially to someone who has been going through alot. You could have suggested she delete her email address and then told her why, rather than rudely demand it.

I would like to see an example of myself saying I don't remember something or have no idea what someone is talking about.
