Right. How many people reading the thread where she claimed some charities wouldn’t serve her because she’s not Christian came away thinking there actually were such charities? I bet lots of people think she’s making it up, because that’s what she does. I bet a lot of people think that it couldn’t happen, because she exaggerates and distorts and spins and makes herself the victim of the world.
I don’t read her femur-breaking exploits and think “Wow, bullying is a real problem.” I think “Wow, her stories aren’t even plausible.”
I didn’t really get an answer before so I’ll ask again.
If I tried to be more pleasant and nicer to people would I also be allowed to lie like a motherfucker? Does being pleasant make it all ok?
Who was that poster that got banned for fabricating their whole lifestory and telling it on here, or the one that was pretending to have locked in syndrome? If they had been nicer people would those lies have been ok too? Its very confusing.
It’s only a cute anecdote, the “truthiness” doesnt matter. I often tell a shaggy dog story about my “Uncle Sid” who had a miscarriage of justice occur to him just because his was peeling a apple on a street corner.:eek: The story didnt happen, I dont even have a Uncle Sid.* It’s a joke, son.*
But if someone tried to call me on it as if it was a lie- I’d deny it- since anyone trying to track down the “truth” of such a obvious funny* anecdote is so stupidly clueless that they dont deserve a explanation.
We had a thread a while ago where a honest to gawd neo-nazi holocaust denier came in and started his lies (he was good tho, he started out very subtly with a half-truth, then got into the lies.)That sort of thing really is a “LIE!”. It’s hurtful, it spreads misinformation, and it condones racism and genocide. Where’s *his *PIT thread? Where is the stalking, five page long pit thread, and repeated accusations?
Whether or not her little humorous anecdote is true or not makes no difference. No one is hurt by it not being true, there’s no misinformation being spread, nothing dangerous. She’s trying to amuse us, not spread racist lies.
But NOOO! you sniveling little internet bullies and cowards want to pick on her for her funny little story, you want to make that supremely unimportant thing the line where you make a stand for the truth. You dont want the truth, you cant possibly care about her little story, you just want to harass her. That’s cyberbullying.
*Ok, I’ll accept “attempt to be funny anecdote”- to be sure, not everyone gets it or thinks it’s funny. I dont care.
Where is the stalking in this case? I see zero evidence that people are trying to ferret out Broomstick’s identity, her address, or are trying to contact her in any way beyond this MB.
And as has been said repeatedly, it’s really not just about this Weber thing. That was the straw which broke the camel’s back. But you know that. You’d rather just froth on and pretend the single anecdote we are commenting on is the grill mark.
You just don’t understand how difficult the copypasta move is and how that makes those who discover its esoteric mysteries wish to practice until it’s second nature to them. BULLY!
I can’t believe that nobody has mentioned someone having a broomstick up their ass. But then maybe they have. This is a difficult thread to read without one’s eyes glazing over and thus missing something of substance. Like a broomstick.
Basically then, you like her so its fine. But if Der Trihs or some other board arsehole told lies I suspect you wouldn’t be in here whiteknighting him. Did she cuddle you in real life, is that why you don’t care about the lies?
And since when have I harassed her? I doubt I have ever had any interaction with her whatsoever. And if she says different then shes a liar.
No you don’t get it. The situation you describe is nothing like what Broomstick does. You know, you should actually read her posts that we’re talking about before you go on like this.
In regards to the cyber-bullying, no one is stalking Broomstick. No one is calling him/her at home, no one is sending him/her threatening emails, no one is toilet papering his/her house. No one is making up lies about him/her. She is reaching out to public message board. If she is that disturbed by all of this - and there is indication in this thread that she is - all he/she has to do is stop reading and it will be over.
I get it, you don’t like it. But that doesn’t mean it rises to the level of atrocities that you claim it does.
So as I mentioned, this isn’t just about the Weber fairytale. This shit has been going on for years, and some of it is harmful misinformation.
HereBroomstick claims that posters here tell her that she should abandon her disabled husband because he can’t work:
What was actually said:
When I read something like that, where she’s completely misinterpreting what is right there for all to see, it’s no wonder I doubt statements like in this thread:
I believe this is the thread you’re referring to, DrDeth? If it is, it shows how obviously full of shit you are.
No, what I believe Sarafeena is pointing out is that Broomstick is basically the Boy Who Cried Wolf.
And funny you should mention a couple divorcing so the disabled one could get benefits. I believe there was a thread about such a case. (Can’t find it at the moment, and I’m going to bed – I’ll do so in the morning). Such a really disturbing situation, that such a thing would have to happen, isn’t it?
