Just little trivialities that mean nothing is how I see them. People are all a flutter of them like they are the worst things that could possibly exist. It kinda reminds me sky is falling sky is falling and I get enough of that around here. It's like, no, the sky's not falling. Calm down. That's the Libran in me. I like calm. I like rational.
Anyway, it's more the situation than the people involved in it.

So I am wondering about your last line. Is Barbie going to change her account so no one will know it's her?

---

Well, as for your question, I can't answer. I could, but I know the feeling she has first hand as I've left before and came back a different name. (not to imply that she'll do the same) She left and to respect her I don't want to reveal much.

I know what you mean.
What I mean is people who call her a kid or me a grandpa etc. Stupid... I mean it doesn't HURT us. What do we care what some person thinks online, especially that we don't talk to much. It's the principal though. It's not right. It shouldn't happen and if it does it should be addressed and it hasn't been getting addressed.
Even worse, one person brought up my ex-wife to try to wedge between us. Again... As if barbiegirl19 doesn't already know everything... lol It's not cool though. That should NEVER happen. That's crossing a line.
A few times now someone from her past has been brought up very intentionally to be used to try to upset me (or us?) Again, as if we don't know everything about each other or have a life beyond LL. It's the principal again though. That's pretty low man... Not cool. It was just left alone too.

The site regulates sexual content more than anything but these low blow personal attacks that are getting by.
I'm not saying that we are innocent but especially since we've gotten together it's been used against us a number of times.
We could EASILY hit below the belt pretty hard but we don't. It may have happened but it's becoming more and more normal for it to happen to us.
She was upset but got over it really quickly. She always does.
Again though... It's that it occurs.

I've seen it even before her and I talked.
She fights back and stands her ground even if it's unpopular and I think that's why.

A couple other members get the same thing. But not the low blows that she (and I) get.

Low blows? I had people laughing to try and mock me on the same thread that I was talking about the death of my son.

This was in my first year here, before I became a Mod.

There is one way to learn to deal with low blows and one way only--Be strong.

However, one has to be strong in a calm way, not a wild and crazy way.

How to do it? Stay here and learn but find a good mentor, too.

I had 3 people who stood by me for the entire 6 years and still do. Bless them!

A person can't do it alone

Correction, she starts it and then is shocked when she gets her own medicine served back to her (and if it wasn't enough she sometimes even starts off saying anyone who doesn't agree with her is ignorant). You're in love so I expect you're incapable of seeing this, but I'm not going to pretend she's some innocent victim here and your constant ******** as if this was unique to you two, or completely unprovoked, is getting old. She's welcome to come back but if she keeps behaving the way she has been then she can expect more of the same. If she wants to be treated different then she needs to act different (not her opinions, but how she expresses them).

I have to be real. I agree with this.

First off, I didn’t tell her to "F off", I actually wrote P-iss, (which was still replaced by the ****), which (from where I come from anyway, the UK) has a slightly different connotation to F off, more like a flippant remark. It’s still mildly offensive, but to me Barbie was becoming like an irritating fly that I just wanted to swat, to be perfectly honest. If you re-read that thread then you’ll see that several times she said to me “Get the F over yourself”, so you can hardly pull me up on something she was saying herself.

No. 2, she IS a kid from where I’m standing. She’s what, in her very early 20s? I’m approaching 50, so yes, to me she is a kid. Nothing ageist about that. And NEVER address me as “sweetheart” when you don’t know me personally, especially if you’re almost 30 years younger.

No. 3, she flattered herself to think I’m “obsessed” with her. Please give me a break. lol. Like I said above, I just find her irritating personally, her logic/arguments twisted and flawed, and she certainly showed her true colors later in the thread when she was ridiculing Sybil’s very intelligent and composed arguments with dumb gif images. As soon as she senses she’s being called out, she responds disrespectfully and immaturely, in my opinion.

For the most part I generally avoid interacting with her in the forum, as I tend to do with people I don’t identify with or particularly like, but I felt the need to express my opinion about her belief that homosexuality was a matter of choice. I disagree with that then and I do now, so I’m entitled to voice my opinion.

Oh, man...I'm sorry, but I also agree.

And before we're accused of it, it's not like we have some sort of secret Mod club or anything.

There are a lot of people expressing the same feelings in this forum.
You guys can either decide that it's a conspiracy, or consider the possibility that there is a difference between "strong" and "over the top rude".

But yes, you're still family to many of us.

I feel that I've expressed my positive and not-so-positive feelings about all of this, and I'll try to leave it at that.

Thank you to those who have stood by me and supported me.

Padre and 23

Thank you SSS and Violets for your words. You've really helped me see things that I honestly had no idea I was doing. I really appreciate both of you sooo much.

As for the others say whatever it is that you'd like. I'm only "obnoxious" for standing up for what I belief and getting into "fights" with you. I have a strong personality, you either like me or you don't. Many irl looove me as I'm sure you all would. I am a Libra after all Sorry that I don't support gays. Never ever will. Even if my own father decided to turn or my mother. Sorry that I don't support drug dealers who get caught 3 times and have to pay for it with their lives. Sorry for telling you PixieJane that I thought your statement was very "Libran" and that you got upset. Ami Anne good luck. Hope you mature more and fix yourself first before opening your mouth to other people. You DO NOT know me so don't assume that you do and judge me. Really fix yourself and your problems first sister. Take care.

Kero and Jo B I have no words for either of you.
