    Sorry, but where in her response did Climbing say "Tough for you, I like pink?" Everyone was having a discussion about a serious topic, and the poster interjected about the pink font. Climbing and myself merely gave her some suggestions on how to deal with it. It had nothing to do with liking, or not liking the poster. And we know that she has terminal cancer, she has stated it many times. And, it is a valid fact that staring at a computer monitor is not good for anyone.Link

    I really fail to see where Climbing was being obnoxious in her response.

    Just to humor you @TrixieJess

    See the bolded in the above quote? To me it implies that everyone was discussing serious topics and CMGragain interjected with her complaint about the color out of nowhere. I merely suggested that the reason CMGragain interjected with the pink font is because someone else brought it up before her as something fun. Does it equate for you now?

    I'm just wondering, if people keep leaving and there was an exodus...then why are they back? How do the boards live on without them?

    No, you're not wondering. You're just being snotty. 

    So, if I don't hang out every single day, are my thoughts and opinions somehow less valid? I shouldn't post at all? 
    Who exactly are the "people who left', and why do they owe you explanations of "why they're back?" 

    Logic, please: if people are posting they didn't leave. 

    Let me repeat that, bolded for clarity: Anybody posting did not leave.  

    It's an Internet forum. People come and go all the time. There are at least four Knot spin-off groups I know of, (probably more) because people get bored or annoyed or just move on or whatever. Welcome to the internet. So what? Why do you care? 

     I did make a deliberate personal decision to come here less often. I didn't leave. (Many reasons. I don't like hanging out regularly in places where I feel my words are policed, where arbitrary rules are applied in selective situations, where I feel like I have to second guess my opinions and posts- am I "vulgar" if I swear? Is this vulgar or non vulgar swearing? Am I creating a "negative environment" if I speak honestly? In addition, lots of stuff going on IRL. Too much. Also, lots of my favorite people are not posting regularly. The boards are fairly uninteresting to me lately. So, many many various reasons not to spend as much of my limited free time at TK. 
    Big. Fucking. Deal. "Exodus?" That's very dramatic. 

    Please tell me how often I should check in to avoid the illusion of "leaving" and "coming back." 

    The other honest response would be, How is this even vaguely a problem for you, and why do you ask? (I don't believe it is, any more than I believe you're wondering. I believe you're just being snotty to people who aren't on your personal  PeopleISuperLike list.) 

    So there you are. You can quit "wondering," at least in my case. Do I need to address the question of "how will the boards live on without them?" because that's really not a valid question. That's just a snottypants and sarcastic  way of saying, "Nobody needs you around neener neener," and the answer is: Well, no shit. Who thought they did? Who are these mysterious people who thought the boards would suffer if they visited less often? Not me. Stop making up dumb stuff, and projecting it on to other people. You're contributing to a negative environment. 


    Out of everything posted on this fucking board/thread, my comment was snotty. Okay.

    Nope, there's plenty of stir fried shit to choose from. Take your personal pick. This one just stood out as being particularly dumb and irrelevant. And yes, it was snotty.  In addition to telling me how often I should check in to potentially avoid being labeled as "leaving," maybe you can tell me which posts on a thread should particularly make my ass ache?

    Seriously, you are making no sense. Do you actually have a problem with reading comprehension or do you only read snippets of information and disseminate what you need? I'm asking seriously because this seems to be an ongoing issue in all of your posts. The series of events that happened and the way you reacted to it show that you may not completely understand what all is going on in this thread.

    Yep, that's exactly what I said. Talk about reading into something that wasn't said. 

    And if the shoe fits, to everyone who thinks that was directed at them.

    For me, leaving was for the ones (specifically, like I already said, XXX/Pink who said she was "out" and then came back to posting) who changed their siggy or specifically stated that they hated this forum now and moved on (first to TH then didn't get along over there and created a private board apparently). I assumed many people left because they stopped posting, especially those who used to post very frequent. And now, many of those people are back. 

    My original comment was meant to be sarcastic and sure, snotty. Because you know, no one else on these boards have ever been sarcastic and snotty. nope.

    And FTR, there were many people who "left" or stopped posting as often who I really liked as posters. I'm not like some people who only have one gorup of people they can agree with and get along with . 

  • I just have to say, i totally agree that tone policing is bullshit and, had MI been a real person, would not hold one single thing against her about the way she was "aggressive" about "being gay"- yes, personally I found it off-putting but I also can't begin to fathom how fucking off-putting it must be to have to deal with straight-priviledge all the time, so go ahead and roar girl if that's how you want to be about it.

    What I found beyond obnoxious was how she would go off about stupid shit like calling someone a nerd or someone referring to themselves as fat. She would make a complete ass of herself over things like that and then never even acknowledge it when she was called out, which is the worst kind of message board behavior IMO.


  • lyndausvi said:
    Are we really telling a user who has an eye-tumor to just suck it up because she can't read our self-imposed sarcasm color?

    Really? Seriously? There are lot of other colors out there.  Certainly we could be sensitive to someone's medical issue and pick a color that would easier to read?  No?    


    Even I choose the darker pink because I find the lighter ones easier  harder to read.


    ETA - words are hard
    No, @climbingwife was just being helpful by suggesting CMRGagain should stay way from the computer if it hurts her eyes. Nowhere did she say that she should suck it up. Please, do not put words into her mouth. Other people offered helpful links that show that long exposure to computer screen does indeed hurt one's eyes so it is a good advice.

    First bolded. No, I asked that. Clearly. I asked you to tell me, because: Second bolded. Your assumptions of people "leaving." I decided to post less often. That shoe fits.  So what? And full circle back to the question:  how often do I need to post in order to be simply posting less frequently, as opposed to leaving and coming back? Because it obviously bothers you enough to be snotty about it. 

    Third bolded. Hmm. I also like many gorups. I have several gorups.  I belong to at least six different gorups, and visit them with varying frequency. Sometimes weeks, sometimes days. Depends on how I feel like gorupping that day. This should not concern anybody else in the world, unless they just miss me and want to say how ya doing? My shoes fit perfectly, and take me various places in internetland. Who cares? That's the point. The decision of how and where and how often one gorups is irrelevant, and shouldn't concern anyone other than the actual gorrupper. 
  • @TrixieJess, let me humor you some more. 

    The word "interject" means to say (something) abruptly, especially as an aside or interruption. When pinkcow used it she thus implied that CMGragain interrupted an ongoing discussion about an "important topic". It is not a giant leap of logic to also conclude that pinkcow implied that the interruption came out of nowhere. The quotes below are what I was referring to when I said that CMGragain's comment about the pink color was not in fact an interjection (interruption) as she was not the first one to bring it into the conversation.

    Part of me kind of hoped they wouldn't have posted this AE thread to get banned - to see if they would have said anything to us in response to us knowing they were a catfish. Regardless, I hope the people they knew off board get some sort of answer or response from her. I know I'd want that.

  • Let's get one thing straight. Magic was not the one that made people leave. Ashley was. Someone mentioned using the word fat to describe oneself. It was Ashley who started saying you shouldn't use inner fat girl or whatever.

    Once Ashley was gone, Magic channeled Ashley and became the new "bad guy". someone even said Magic used to post normally. Now her change in attitude started befor Ashley was banned, but she was definitely using Ashley's persona.

    I apologize for incorrectly stating that one poster "interjected" when apparently another one had. Sorry, I was at work, skimming through this ridiculous thread. I took the first posters comment to be sarcastic, but the second posters to be a legitimate complaint . So I made a suggestion. After Climbing did. We probably both thought the same. My whole point was, if you can't see the pink font, you can just highlight it! Or copy and paste into a word doc!

    I think what I was really trying to articulate was, there were like 2 (maybe more, I'm guesstimating here) posts in that pink font. Like Scribe said, they could have been skipped over. Just another suggestion. For anyone, that is.

    Lurker here (and not an AE I promise). I'm sorry to stir more up, I know a lot has alreday been stirred. BUT...I'm really confused. Didn't CMG just post a few weeks ago that her cancer was in remission? I don't understand how a cancer can go from being in remission to terminal so very quickly. CMG if your cancer is back I am truly sorry. Just very confused and there's too much catfishing going on around here to not be just a bit suspicious...

    She posted back on April 18th that the tumor had stopped going, but she was not cancer free.   So it's possible it started to grow again.    Cancer is a pretty fucked-up unpredictable thing.

    But I totally get your suspicion.  I think we are all on high alert so-to-speak.






    What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests.  Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated. 
  • @lyndausvi Ah. Thanks for the clarification. I'm always on mobile and can't look at post history so I was relying on memory. I know most of you don't know/recognize me and I'm pretty happy to be a lurker but I just wanted to say that I really have become attached to reading about some of your lives. I have to admit that the drama is also what keeps me around but everybody has such interesting viewpoints here with great humor (and awesome debate skills). I truly will miss some posters who are "gone" or less active.

    That is all.

    I guess I can't really understand why this is such a huge deal, because as someone who has spent a fair amount in front of a computer, if something is hard to read (due to font), I highlight it. Or copy and paste to word. Which I suggested.

    I actually do the bolded when I have trouble reading a color or font. I can enlarge it or darken it to suit my needs.
