Different things affect different people different ways and I am really glad this doesn't affect some of you adversely. In my everyday life, I have tons of bullshit to deal with so I come here to blow off some steam. I am reminded of the things I hate about people in real life: the racism, the classism, the judgment, etc. What people say on this site affects me. I wish it weren't so but it does. It bothers me the things people are allowed to get away with because they have a screen to hide behind. It bothers me that some people say things to hurt others just because they can do it. It bothers me that I give a damn what people think about me.
I hope to one day get over my addiction to this site so I can let it go completely. I am one of those easily offended people. I don't need the Org to remind me how ugly the real world is. I live it every day. we're all blowing off steam in our own way, Stymie..and if you don't like someone here at the org, or what they say, you can ignore me, and their posts, which is an improvement over real life. My org experience hasn't been one of racism, or classism. I've found the orgers to be intelligent, witty, and usually sensitive to other peoples feelings. If I've said something that someone else has objected to, I've apologized, and in some cases, learned from the experience. just sayin. | |

As others already suggested it should have been dealt with by reporting the incident to the mods. If it is as you say that one or more mods ignored it, it should be called to Ben's attention cos as you say she genuinely felt offended... BUT that being said... The Org requires its posters to grow a thick skin because at LEAST half of what is said is meant to take the piss. It's just the way it is here, and it's how a vast majority of the active posters are. As for being ridiculed in the Site discussion forum, her thread came across very much like a relative of that thread suggesting all the violent or insulting emoticons should be banned. To sum it up she came across as , if she'd explained the WHOLE issue coherently she would have been better understood, people would still have taken the piss but not for the same reason. | |

Well, I have reported posts directly to Ben twice. There was an Orger who I wanted to press charges against and I wanted Ben's advice and he never responded to me. Also, I wrote to him about an issue I had with mods and, once again, he never responded. I personally don't see the purpose of a site discussion forum because there is no discussion. If you post something there that a mod or mods don't agree with, it gets yanked. | |

speaking for me, i harbor no ill-will toward anyone at the ORG. i think most of us know the ORG isn't real life, and don't take it seriously enough to sustain permanent damage from any of the shit that happens here | |

I can relate . Me and my boyfriend who also is an orger had problems with a mod some time ago who just deleted our posts in certain threads and lied in an orgnote to me she never had done so, though she had to admit afterwards she had done it . Another mod told me that whole issue was to big for him to handle and told me to contact Ben. My boyfriend who had been kinda close with Ben back in the day of the PML and PPML times emailed him, but Ben never bothered to answer . With a very special thank you to Tina: Is hammer already absolute, how much some people verändern...ICH hope is never so I will be! And if, then I hope that I would then have wen in my environment who joins me in the A.... | |
