A couple of you wrote in the post below that I was " a raging bitch with nothing better to do than harass others..." I am sorry that you feel that way. However, I am who I am. I am not angry at anyone. And my husband has already married me, so let's hope I am the right one.
I have been on the boards for a long time. I have a particular distaste for trolls on Second Weddings. A troll is someone who chooses a board, posts unusual and unbelievable information or questions, and does so for the purposes of creating drama or targeting individuals. Commonly on the knot such a post is titled MUD.
When I first came on this board there were a great many times when women from other boards would invade, make inane posts, and then copy & paste and make fun of the answers. One woman, who subsequently became an online friend, was harassed endlessly by an individual-- to the point that she had to threaten legal action. The harassment stepped off the boards as well, and into this woman's already complicated life. The young woman who was tormenting her thought it was all wildly funny. She kept getting banned, and returning in three days for more.
In my first post- I questioned the facts of the writer's bio. Nothing I wrote was made up or anything other than a fact. Then I made my assessment, which was that the writer was posting a relatively unbelievable scenario, in a location that was not predictable, with some rather personal and unflattering information to people that she didn't even know in the online, imaginary sense. Meets every definition of a troll that I know of. DNFTT means do not feed the troll.
My mistake was to break my own rule and add another post to the thread. And what I did there was to quote her own words and question a subsequent conflicting statement. While you seem to think that somehow pointing out to her the incongruence of her statements is harassing her, what I see is that she went back to her original post and edited OUT the words I copied. So, apparently, even she believed that they were inappropriate. She then PM'd me to ask me to remove my quotes, which I will do once I post this. However, one of you quoted me quoting her, so, unless you choose to delete it, will be yours to deal with.
I will continue to fail to trust things that shriek troll or MUD to me. ~Donna
right1thistime, do us all a favor and whoever you are mad at, direct some of that anger towards them instead of a stranger asking for advice...
Annemarie. Sorry that you were made to feel uncomfortable here. Not everyone on here is a raging b!tch with nothing better to do than harrass others b/c they feel so poorly about themselves.
Right1...are you sure HE is marrying the right one this time?
