AYG

She sounds like a troll who is trying to get people wound up to report them.  I just don't understand people.

Ya, I think its really easy to say what you would do or what youd want others to do when its not you going through the situation. Whatever youre doing, as long as its right for you, then its all good :)

Bay, I know you don't really know me, but FWIW I think you are handling the situation really, really well all things considered.  I would definitely not be as graceful as you are.  I really admire you for that.

Yeah yeah, doing it wrong.

i2012do confuses me.  I feel like people (not just her, but society in general) are really losing sight of the definition of bullying.  Ther's a difference between calling someone dumb/not validating their ideas and bullying.  People whip out the b-word way too quickly now when it's not really bullying.

And Mery can suck on my big, fat black ass.  I can't stand her uppity ass self.

Yup. We had a whole freaking staff development on the definition of bullying. It's prolonged and continued. It's not a one time rude comment or whatever.

Thanks, Nebb, LP, Star, anyone I missed lol.

Chels -- I agree with you.  I think it sort of dilutes the standards of real bullying.  Cyber bullying is cyberstalking someone and telling them that you hope they die in a fire.  Not refusing to validate someone's shitty idea.

I still feel like I'm doing that.  It's starting to go away some, though.  I think getting out on your own will help a lot (it will fucking suck, but it will help).

Yeah.  As freaked out as I am about moving out and living on my own, I am sort of looking forward to it.  And having free laundry in the house.

A lot of people on the internet dont really understand the internet, I dont think. Just look at how many people think this is a blog. If THIS is a blog, wtf is an actual blog to them? Thats another place id like a John Malkovitch door into, just to see what thats like.

I don't trust Dot really...something about her has always been off - with the weird GBCKs and stuff. She seems to have gotten more active and normal and what not, but maybe I'm just wary. I do think Mery went overboard though...but I think I see the underlying thing she's getting at - even if she went a little psycho with her analysis.

But seriously, why thefuck does Mery even give two shiits about Dot.  They never interact.  It seems stupid to me that Mery would wish a poster on SB would leave permanently when she herself is too good to even post here.

This may be more of an irrational irritation, but it drives me up a wall when brides refuse to discuss or post pictures of the dress on their bios/blogs, but then post ridiculous pages or entries like "Which of these dresses is mine?  You should totally vote, even though I'm not going to tell you which one it is!"  Really?  None of us care that much.

Truth...but I don't interact with Dot much either...and I still know the Dot saga. Maybe Mery's just spouting it out. I mean, I dont know. I agree - it was weird on Mery's part...but lurkers who don't interact on a board can still think cray cray things sometimes.

Does Mery post anything more on E than in FFFs?  I haven't had as much time to lurk lately, and it's been mostly WR threads which I avoid, but it doesn't seem that she's anywhere else.

kd.joseph

I can understand why some people are leary of Dot and take her with a grain of salt. She went off the deep end more than once. But, Mery needs to just shut up already about all things SB, since we are beneath her anyway.

Bay- I have been where you are, more than once. And I first commend you for getting counseling and trying to move on. And I also agree with AATB, everytime you mention your H I cringe,because as Stacks said I want you to get pissed and go off on him. And truth is that day may come, you just havent got there yet. Just know when you're ready to vent we're here

Speaking of venting why do we still have SO many rando's venting on this board. Most dont come back, write a blog if you just want to vent. Oh yeah that's right as Nebb said they think this is a blog....

LDYGTR13

I honestly don't know, Smash. But I think she does a lot more lurking than posting. A LOT more.

I noticed this a few months ago when I was trying to figure stuff out, but it was always weird to me that people would like their blog to their sig, and then their blog was password protected. Why even post it in your sig?

I suck at lurking.  I normally can't read a thread without chiming in at least once.  I feel... weird.  I dunno.

So you can go out of your way to ask for a password, so they seem important Brandi.

I lurk all the GD time.  Seriously.  When I say that I lurked before I started posting, I legit lurked for a really long time.  It was creepy.
