Holy Shit, it's the LJ clusterfuck of a post that will not die!

Dammit, I posted in the polyamory about something that was bothering me, and I've gotten to answer back about a dozen times, but the posting count is about 130 now. Usually people in that community are fairly decent about discussing things and giving explanations, and I did get several people who did so in regards to my post. But the backlash either from

Comments

People there were reacting like the dude was 13 and not 23.

Can you understand why some of them got so hostile with me? I tried to answer the ones who were discussing things instead of just spewing their point all over the threads.

Isn't it just amazing what a person will pick out of a long post to grasp onto and not let go? This is why I backed out of a few of the communities I was very active in, some people are just out there to start drama any way they can, and I'm all for avoiding drama on LJ.

(remember cat_lovers, I haven't been over there for over a year now, sometime I miss being able to talk about my cats so easily amongst other cat enabled people, but I don't miss the drama that some people were always trying to start.)

I always like to see the cute kitties, but I avoid getting into discussions about many things there. Unless I'm sure about something or some product, I don't bother.

I once posted about how I'm a fat chick but I get lots of action and always have boyfriends, because I have a great attitude. (This was in fat-positive community.) A couple of women went batshit-crazy on me about that, as if I were personally attacking their lives.

You know it's bad when the b/f who entered the community doesn't want to even get involved in my post.

Eh, well I DID keep it going by jumping in myself, and in a rather arch way. Then again, the minority view deserves an airing and return fire in kind.

"one chick" can actually be reasonable in some discussions, but sure isn't in this one. The thing I will say for her is that she is one of the few who probably isn't staking out a forward position for her own drama. Others? Not in a relationship with them and bullet dodged. Some people just HATE growing up and assuming responsibility.

Well some of her comments to me amount to "You're a bad person and should not comment on other people's lives unless you totally agree with them or empathize with their views."

[roykay]

Hmmmm. Do you need a spanking or something?

Not to be opportunistic or anything.

:-P

(Actually, I long ago decided assessments of my character were more base on other people's agenda.)

More like you can try to wrestle me into submission. ;-P
