this thread is a lot like her blog entry, to be honest...

Well, that was initially my intention. I don't appreciate being talked about behind my back - she couldn't say it to my face or through PMs. If she had that much of a problem, we could have worked it out like adults. Instead, she wrote a blog post (thanks Hero) dedicated to me forcing her out of GT so this is the least I could do to repay her.

-shrug- it's gonna happen. i mean, i don't think you should make a big deal out of it, it's rather sinking to her level. if you think you're more mature than tenth, act like it, don't be like her.

I think she's over-reacting. I read the comments at the bottom of their blog and two people said they stopped going on all sorts of forums due to the abundance of political/religious threads.

OK I do agree the mods should maybe do something if every other thread is about the same thing or people are being rude to each other, but as sad as it may be, the fact is when something happens in the world such as Obama being president or gas prices being high, a lot of people will be discussing their feelings on these things.

Miss Daisy, I don't know you at all and I've never chatted with you...but I'm 100% on your side.

You didn't force this woman to leave nor did you even insinuate that you wanted her to. There was nothing personal from the quotes she posted. It was totally immature of her to make a blog about you, to even LIST YOUR NAME, and then to post one-sided quotes to try and make herself feel justified/right. I don't think anything you said concerning abortion was REALLY that bad. You weren't bashing anyone; you just stayed on-topic with what your beliefs were. It's her fault if she CHOSE to participate in the thread and see an opinion she didn't like. Even though she tried to make you look like the bad guy, she can't; the quotes she posted weren't offensive or mean to any one person. The fact that you hate kids isn't something to hate you for--that's your preference. Why does she care so much?

I was also a little miffed that she would bash the mods for not locking threads sooner. Why'd she stick around for so long in the first place if it was really that bad? How'd she even get to 'veteran' status if she couldn't handle a differing opinion/belief from her own? I smell an over-exaggeration..

And boo-hoo, Christians sometimes get slammed in the threads. I've seen a lot of really hateful anti-atheist/agnostic comments too. It's what you get when you 1) participate in controversial threads and 2) participate in a forum with THOUSANDS of members with thousands of different opinions. I'd be really shocked if that didn't happen, to be honest. And you can't expect the mods to catch EVERY thread and lock it exactly when it needs locked; they're humans, you know. It takes time sometimes. What matters is that the offensive threads DO get locked in the end. There's no need to get your knickers in a bunch. Just don't even LOOK at threads with controversial themes. If you're sensitive like that, why would you even go there? Like with drugs; just walk away. Just say "no". It's not that hard.

And then to make a blog entry to try and make herself feel better about it? Normally that is fine; people rant in their blogs all the time. But she linked your profile/mentioned your name AND linked said entry in her signature. Rude, crass, immature...all of those negative words that mean the same things. By calling you out, she is doing just that: calling you out. If she's really that uptight, maybe she doesn't belong in this community.

Good riddance.

who cares if tenth linked to her profile? it's not like that gives people ANY clue as to what kind of person miss daisy is. i mean, someone can link to my profile and tell other people that i'm a right wing bigot, but that doesn't make it accurate, now does it?

imho, if miss daisy thinks she's more mature than tenth about dealing with this situation, this thread was entirely unnecessary. but, if miss daisy feels this thread is perfectly justified, i don't think she has any reason to complain about tenth writing about her behind her back, because she's doing it right back.

again, not saying who's right or wrong, just pointing out the inconsistencies on 'maturity level' here.

That's basically what I was thinking. Daisy seems to be far more bothered by getting written about behind her back than she should be, so she's putting on this smug act and posting this thread here to be malicious and vindictive and to show Tenth and the friends of Tenth that 'it doesn't bother her' and in fact it's 'really funny!'

Really, like my previous post said, all sarcasm intended, it's just about the classiest thing a person could do in this situation.

Edit: It's even better that she's upset by everyone not taking her side.

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 was saying she has issues. you need to calm down a bit there hun. you've already blown things out of proportion than need be by posting this thread.

But...but...if she did not post this thread, we would not have juicy gossips. o.O

haha, but to be serious; I think linking her profile here is significant because she is "showing" everyone the person who they should hate. She wrapped the linked profile in a lot of negativity, so anyone who goes to Daisy's profile is going to automatically think she's a jerk who deserves little to no respect. Ideally, Tenth could have ranted all day long, even provided her quotes, but instead of listing Daisy's name, she could just say "another member" or something.

I just think it's silly to blame Daisy for her leaving; and providing all of her readers with a profile to put to the name feels highly disrespectful. They can't get any personal information from it, but it's principle. Especially if other PBS members read the blog and decided to take Tenth's side (which is what she wanted, I'm sure). That PBS member would automatically hate Daisy for no reason.

And it isn't really that big of a deal that she made a thread about it IMHO. The first post wasn't offensive or rude; she sounded more amused than anything. It was the replies that made this thread like Tenth's blog; but who cares, really? It was just an amusing read to me. And I was simply going to say "Wow, that was amusing" until I read all of the replies. xD Then it became IMHO-time.

I'm sorry.. who are you?

I'm not "upset" about you and a few others not taking my side. Everyone here that I like and speak to off of these boards agrees with me and has already stated that here, and other places.

I don't know this girl, and I don't care that she's gone. I'm not "upset" that she wrote about me behind my back, and yeah, I did find it VERY funny, that's why I posted it starting with "LOL!" If I were to be mad about it, it would have started with " "

@ McGani - Thanks for your replies At least someone sees and understands the purpose of this thread - or at least it's purpose before people started throwing attitude at me over some girl that's been gone since last year.

@ LoiterBug - I'm just confused as to why last night you thought this was amusing but now you think it's not right? o.0

Kami - I respect your opinion and thank you for at least being calm about it, unlike some others here who've been throwing attitude around all week.

i think, and i could be wrong, that tenth linked to her profile not to show malicious intent [as in HATE HER! SHE SUX], but more so that other people knew she was talking about. I mean, I say "Miss Daisy" and people ask me if I'm talking about the movie. =P

Too add - so tenth wrapped miss daisy's name in negativity. sure, that sucks. but how many people actually read tenth's blog? how many people log into pbs in a day? i'd also like to point out the irony about how there's an issue with talking behind backs, yet a link is provided to give tenth more exposure.

idk.. i'm going to stick with 'if miss daisy fancies herself more mature than tenth, she should act like it. if she doesn't care, then by all means, go on with this thread.'

and i don't blame miss daisy for making tenth leave -- it was tenth's choice. i think it's unnecessary, but it's her option to leave and then rant about it. =P

@ Miss Daisy - no sweat. =P after all, its not what you say, but how you say it that matters, yeah?

Not only that, but anyone here that actually talks to me knows me and has their opinions about me already - some girl that left because she got her feelers bent out of shape isn't going to change that.

[LoiterBug™ ?]

i was saying that it was interesting to see how she really ranted about something that really wasn't that big of deal but then i've seen how big of deal it's seem to have gotten the more poeple talk about it with you. That's why it seems as though I've "changed my mind."

I do not agree with stooping to her level but hey, whatever you need to do to get it out of your system, be my guest.

exactly. no offense intended to you, or anyone here, but i really don't see the big deal about posting your name, calling you out. people here at pbs know you, and if they take the time to read your posts [most of them, anyway =P] or to PM you, they'll see you're all in all a really sweet person.

i just don't think that making a thread about tenth's immaturity was the best way to show your maturity.

i'd also like to point out the irony about how there's an issue with talking behind backs, yet a link is provided to give tenth more exposure.

idk.. i'm going to stick with 'if miss daisy fancies herself more mature than tenth, she should act like it. if she doesn't care, then by all means, go on with this thread.'

I do see the irony here xD I think that Miss Daisy's intent in making this thread was not to necessarily go on a bashing-spree about Tenth (I could be wrong though), but rather, she saw the blog and immediately felt flustered, and wanted to see what other people thought. She could have possibly even been seeking some people to take her side just to make her feel better; it sucks to feel like something was your fault. Maybe she was looking for a little reassurance? Not much harm in that; it's what we, the posters made of the thread and even some of Miss Daisy's poor reactions to them that made it bad. But the initial post and the fact that Daisy was sharing the blog/her feelings on it wasn't really terrible.

Where this thread has started to go awry is where it became a maturity contest. Everyone has their days--Tenth was immature to post the blog, but do I think she's an immature person? I can't honestly say; I haven't been exposed to her any further than that post. And same goes for Daisy; some of her responses here have been immature, but is she an immature person? Again, I don't know. It's just human nature to act "immaturely" whenever they're upset about something. We all do it.

I'm sorry I type so much by the way. x[ iFail.
