Janet.... deciphering the mystery,that is lighter speak

[lighter]

Janet:


 

I asked Ami what her little spat with Auth was about.... if you recall Ami offered advice that Auth didn't appreciate,

Ami came here to lament about "a friend who had mistreated her for being the kindest most wonderful friend ever"

and Auth dropped by to set the record straight, as she saw it, which was to allege that Ami was misrepresenting the facts.

Then.... I ask Ami about it on the Aunt thread, so she can draw a connection between her giving Auth advice and my giver her/Ami advice (that wasn't appreciated.) 

This was her response:

What happened with her(since you're asking,of course) was that you bullied her off the board. She was angry with me b/c I was trying to convince her to come back on when she didn't feel safe.     Ami

I'm surprised Ami mispresented the facts in such an outlandish fashion.... but I'm getting used to it by now.

It takes so much time and energy to track down the facts to refute..... I guess she has that going for her.

As I recall.... you seemed to be getting on well with Auth about the time she had to go away.

 ::looking puzzled::

Oh well, I was just surprised to hear that you were being accused of bullying her off the board as well... I must not have been paying attention....


or.....


something.

That's what that post was supposed to say: )  Sorry for all the mispelled words.... I haven't had enough time to proofread posts lately

THIS is my prayer for today----Dear Lord
                                          PLEASE don't let me write ANYTHING in this thread. Thank you ,Lord. Amen

lighter,

I was a bit confused by your original post, so I didn't want to reply to it until I was sure about what you were saying, so that I couldn't be accused by anyone of stirring things up.

You're right, I was fairly close to authentic around the time she left the forum. My take on it is that she left in the end, not necessarily because of taunting by people (there was some of that, I do remember), but more because when she blew the whistle, she was told 'be quiet, don't make a fuss, never mind'. That reminded her of her FOO. She'd had a dreadful childhood, so felt awful to be triggered by the forum into feeling that she should 'let things go'. There was so much of the 'keep things calm by ignoring the problems' posts, that it made her very angry, understandably.

She felt more annoyed by the treatment of her AFTER the events that caused her to make a stand, than before, IMO.

She decided to not post on the forum any more, but Ami wanted her to stay. I remember telling authentic that I felt she had outgrown the forum, as she seemed pretty much 'together' to me. It's normal to be annoyed by people ignoring the real reasons for things.

Authentic eventually got banned, because she signed on several times under pseudonyms, and posted honest observatiions which were taken to be abusive, mainly because they were done in 'sock puppet' mode, rather than as 'herself'.

To set the record straight, authentic wasn't 'near to suicide' when she was being harassed on the forum (but I see that post has been edited now to say 'bullied off the forum' or something similar). Not quite the same thing at all, IMO.

Actually, Janet..... Auth was banned for writing a hostile PM to another board member.

I realize she erases her posts and threatens to leave a lot, when she's participating.

She also appears every so many months with the same results.

I didn't understand your reference, on another thread, of your having been accused of bullying her off the board too.

Not going back to check, was that what I read?

[JanetLG]

lighter,

I wasn't aware she'd written abusive PMs. I thought it was for writing abusive posts under pseudonyms. Do you mean 'the one to Beth' during the long thread that authentic pulled? That one wasn't written by authentic, IMO.

I don't remember writing that I thought I was being accused of bullying her off the forum. That's not what I think, now, for the record.

But then, I've been accused of a lot that I haven't actually done, recently, so it's hard to keep up.

I believe that Auth wrote an abusive PM to Certain Hope that got her banned from the board.

It was Doc G that made the decision..... certainly not me or Auth herself. 

[JanetLG]

lighter,

I didn't know about an abusive PM to Certain Hope.

I know that only Dr G makes the decision to ban someone, and we (on the main forum)  aren't party as to why.


Janet

[lighter]

I feel like I'm in the twighlight zone. 

There was a post about it on the board, Janet.

Dr. G's the one who posted it.

[JanetLG]

lighter,

Yes, I'm sure there was - I'm just saying that there's so much being flung around just now, I can't remember back to that convoluted conflict and its details, now.

Know what you mean about the twilight zone, though. (I could've sworn that yesterday this house was a pub...)


Janet

[lighter]

Well.... lol.....

today it's a house of serenity and contemplation.  

[JanetLG]

lighter,

Well, perhaps it is on this thread 

Tomorrow it might turn into the Amityville one

Janet

[lighter]

Is there something in between a pub and house of contemplation?

[JanetLG]

Yes, Pizza Hut.

[lighter]

Are you laughing!?!?!?

NO laughing!

[JanetLG]

Sorry.

Deadly serious face, here. Sucking in cheeks, trying not to snort.
