Quitting PBS isn't the end of the world or that extreme of an action, to be honest-- it's not like she killed herself. I don't see anything that crazy about wanting to be away from an environment where you feel like your opinions aren't respected. I agree with this post. Making someone rant about you isn't that much of an accomplishment either. I've made people online cry and rant about me for weeks, but I didn't make a smug thread about it.

LOL! I just got a call from my stepmom alerting me to this blog. Whoever they were here on PBS I don't remember, but I find it intensely hilarious that I made such a negative impact on this person that they wrote a whole blog dedicated to me. This is good stuff. Go check it out. asho.me/2008/10/22/bye-bye-proboards/Wow that was a little extreme. I don't agree with a lot of things you say, but making a blog dedicated to bashing you or anyone else simply for having a different opinion is really low. It would be kind of funny if you did the same thing. Blog wars! lol It's a shame that the person feels that way though. Glade she/he is happier.

I don't see anything that crazy about wanting to be away from an environment where you feel like your opinions aren't respected. I completely agree with this quote. I remember that abortion thread and I thought your comments were quite disgusting, but I'm not going to go there. The fact you drove a member away is not something to be applauded for, not something to be celebrated, but should be frowned upon. Could you argue that Tenth was a bit over dramatic about leaving over a thread? Of course you can, but can you also understand why she would leave over a thread, especially one like that abortion thread, where your comments were offensive in more than one person's opinion? Of course you can!

Hilarious. /sarcasm I don't agree with the position of either side/party, and I don't think it's justified to delete yourself over something like that, but I think it's worse to basically gloat about being the cause of a good member leaving.

Smug self - satisfaction, I call it .. Yep, I agree with the minority here too. While there are certain topics, threads and some attitudes that drive me crazy; I don't think I'd let anyones opinion, choice of politics or attitude, force me to leave, but I might rant in my own blog. I liked Tenth and I can easily see where she is coming from. After all the quote goes " Opinions are like *rectums*. Everybody's got one and everyone thinks everyone else's stinks."Wording/quote has been changd to comply with ProBoard rules.

lol, you guys crack me up. I've been saying that a lot lately around here. Perhaps it's because of all the snide remarks and snippy attitudes everyone has developed over the last few weeks. Always good when people make veteran members leave Definitely an accomplishment to be proud of. Now, now.. I never insinuated that I was proud of chasing this little girl away, nor did I ever ask/tell her to leave. If she can't handle the fact that other people have opinions too, maybe she was better off leaving. Quitting PBS isn't the end of the world or that extreme of an action, to be honest-- it's not like she killed herself. I don't see anything that crazy about wanting to be away from an environment where you feel like your opinions aren't respected. I agree with this post. Making someone rant about you isn't that much of an accomplishment either. I've made people online cry and rant about me for weeks, but I didn't make a smug thread about it. And that's why I'm not you ;D I completely agree with this quote. I remember that abortion thread and I thought your comments were quite disgusting, but I'm not going to go there. The fact you drove a member away is not something to be applauded for, not something to be celebrated, but should be frowned upon. Could you argue that Tenth was a bit over dramatic about leaving over a thread? Of course you can, but can you also understand why she would leave over a thread, especially one like that abortion thread, where your comments were offensive in more than one person's opinion? Of course you can! I honestly don't care if you think I should be shot and killed for my opinions if they really disgust you that badly. But I remember HER comments to that thread as well (which, by the way, she did not post in that blog.. wonder why? Egging on much? Nahh, not her, she was perfect!!). And they offended me. NOBODY tells me what to do with my body and what's in it, especially some bible thumping skeezer like her who left as a plea for attention trying to target me (a new member at the time) for having an opinion that differed from hers. Screw her as far as I'm concerned, and a big middle finger to the rest of you that didn't agree with me supposedly "chasing her out". This happened back in October people, and the only reason I found out about it was because I got a phone call. Otherwise? I wouldn't have cared, and probably never would have found out. I don't care about this girl, or the fact that she left because I stated my opinion and wasn't told to shut up so she could rant about jesus loving all the little unborn, unwanted babies! Her entire justification for leaving was that the mods didn't stop me from stating my opinion. And no, they didn't, because I had a right to state my opinion as well, just as she was, regardless of whether or not people were going to agree with it. It's MY opinion. I'll say it again and again in every abortion topic I get into. Anselm and I will have a little back and forth battle before we give up and let it be. I'm used to it. It doesn't bother me. She shouldn't have let it bother her. And she shouldn't have expected the "hurt feelings" mod to step in and slap me around. I'm kinda hurt, Dianne, that you'd side with these people against me like this over something so stupid. I had every right to state my opinion just like she was doing (thumping me with her bible), and if she left because of that she's an idiot. I'm glad she's gone. And I hope she reads this and decides to never come back. Nuff said.

I never read the topic but I can understand why that person was mad if your opinion was pushed on them.

/fail I never read the topic but I can understand why that person was mad if your opinion was pushed on them. Then go back and read the topic. That skank was throwing the bible around in a discussion about personal opinion and trying to shove jesus down my throat. I had every right to state my opinion. If she didn't like it, she could have left the thread. Not go on a dramatic rant about how "mean" I am and how she's not coming back to GT. Do I need to say it again? I never intended to chase her away. I was a new member at the time and yeah, maybe some of what I said is offensive to some people but I'm entitled to my opinion. If she took it that hard, she's better off gone because A LOT of offensive things are said here. Especially recently. ETA: Sorry, Kami. But with everyone jumping down my throat about this, I'm getting a little fed up.

i dunno. i think you're making this a bit blown out of proportion miss daisy.
yes i too would be self satisfied to know that i was "horrible" enough to make someone i didn't like leave but i would not go so far as to rant about them and link others to their blog. i would simply put "glad that people are so civil on the internet by putting profile links in their blog"
although i have to say that what you did shouldn't have upset her that much.

What? o.0 buauahahaha. she even put a link to your profile here. wow someone's got issues. xD So, now you're jumping on the 'lets hate Daisy for chasing some nobody away' bandwagon? Wtf? I WAS A NEW MEMBER!! I didn't even know this girl, and she jumped on ME for not being pro-life and agreeing with every word she had to say! I never said "get out!", I didn't even know who she was or that she'd left and I STILL don't care! Jeez.

i agree with loiterbug; i think this is a bit blown out of proportion. i'm not going to argue that she was in the right, or that you were, but --just like you did in that thread-- tenth is just posting her opinion on the matter at hand. this thread is a lot like her blog entry, to be honest...

For the record, I agree with you on the whole abortion thing. I like the idea of the United States being founded on multiculturalism and secularism, something which religion in law can't sit happily alongside.
