And then you feel guilty, and defective for not being able to do this. :oops:


Yeah, and then people write crap like what Pepe just said, telling me that I've been hounded out and I'm a gossip when in reality I don't want anything to do with other people's problems. Pepe asked me to befriend his partner and I said no, because I was overextended. Pepe's partner asked me to support her and I said the same, although I did say I would help her on the forum as needed. Her previous partner accused me of supporting her when I wasn't. I reiterated to Pepe in February that I don't want anything to do with gossip. Now other people think I'm supporting or gossiping to all of them, or even to others, and apparently I'm taking sides LMAOOOO when in reality I've had all sorts of people writing to me for information which I'm not giving, because again that's not my style and I repeat I don't want anything to do with this -- except to help other women on the forum.

It's not easy being a decent person is it?

I'm sorry but there is a lie about me. And further content that needs clarification.
It was never my intent to befriend, and as such I had no reason to want anything from her, I was just pming for clarification because she was talking to me in a necroed thread by my ex, apparently not noticing it was necroed, but i was hiding in pms at the time. Anything else than that is horses**t.

At the time I wasnt even ready for friendships.

She was explained these things to better than to anyone else.

I was offered "protection" at a vulnerable time in my life. It was never asked for, nor delivered. I also believe mods should be protecting me, not members. :lol:

I already knew she rejected Pepes proposal for me, and I didnt even bring it up myself. Never talked after.

Misrepresentation.
You were protecting your friend and I was protecting my partner, all over a stupid misunderstanding.

Had magz been here, I would have spoken privately with her.
Enviro recently had difficulties, otherwise, I would have discussed it with him.

Yep. Things have gotten out of control.
I was waiting for magz to come back, but she is still unwell.
I said my piece and won't be commenting here any further.

Sorry you got caught up in this mess.

Back on topic:

I blame cartoons, not entirely, but cartoons of a certain era portrayed unacceptable behaviour as acceptable/funny/cute to impressionable young autistic minds. Don't watch cartoons any more so don't know if it's still relevant (having said that, I just downloaded every Hong Kong Phooey episode :ninja: )

All good now?



I can be someone's friend without them being a white knight for me, or having them tell the forum I was ousted out in some sort of conspiracy or as the result of bad behaviour.


Misrepresentation.
I NEVER suggested YOU did anything wrong.
I was 1,000% on your and slyfox's side.
I was prepared to get banned for you two.


Again I have no idea what you're on about. I didn't leave because of that person. There was no reason for you to get banned for us. For one thing, I joined AF in April 2020 and I didn't leave WP until June 2020, at which point you didn't know the reason and you started your thread. I know your thread was meant to be supportive and I appreciate the effort, I suppose, but just to clarify I didn't ask for that thread and I didn't tell you it had anything to do with any other member, specifically that person. As I said previously that thread was started with a good intent but it devolved into a series of personal attacks against me because of some sort of gossip campaign, where people had the wrong idea about why I left.

I prefer to keep my personal life private and I'll repeat again it's inappropriate to keep talking about me, assigning motive, or now drawing other people into it and suggesting that I was kicked off WP. Please stop discussing me or any other member when you don't know the facts, because it amounts to slander. Further, I didn't need anyone to fall on their sword for me because I'm an adult and I was able to handle my own choices. I don't know what's going on in the last few weeks with you insisting I'm on a crusade against you, but that is false too. Kindly just live your own life, as I've always lived mine.

Thanks.

^^ I don’t think that cartoons for kids these days are as bad as they used to be when it comes to depicting gross, unacceptable, sexist behavior.

OMG I loved Hong Kong Phooey. Is that the one where he goes into a filing cabinet at the opening credits? I used to watch it when my brother went to hockey practice.

That's the one, Who is this superhero? Sarge? No! Rosemary, the telephone operator? No way man! Penry, the mild-mannered janitor? Could be!

:twisted: Scooby Doo was on at the same time and I used to get sooo confused by Scooby Doo because I don't understand inductive thinking (bottom up clue solving) and I can't make inferences or think in terms of strategy. It did my head in. Today's equivalent would be Survivor which I can't understand to save my life. I just can't think that way in terms of groupthink, plotting, or being deceptive the way they do.

-----

Sidenote:

How about everyone here takes a chill-pill and agrees that we can all coexist in one place and do our best to help each other? I don't know about you but I'm tired of all this Scooby Doo-type drama on the site lately. This is so much nicer.

Thank you White Knight and all others.
Now where's Raleigh and WAI?

Sorry to go back into this, but I just saw it. I have no idea what the "stupid misunderstanding" was. I contacted you on 7 March to ask what was going on and why you keep saying I'm in a conspiracy, but you didn't answer me. I have no conspiracy against you or anyone else. This started all the way back when you went off on me and Twilight about our opinions of men with bellies. That was in January and magz was still here. That's when you started mansplaining and telling us about bell curves, and then you ranted to me in PM about vendettas. I'm sorry to post that here, but I did ask you on PM and you don't seem to want to discuss it privately, or via Cornflake. You mentioned that you refuse to deal with Cornflake or even read his messages to you, including warnings. I'm not sure what else to think of that, but seeing as magz has Covid there's no other way for me to communicate with you. The "stupid misunderstanding" you're citing must have started in 2020 when you say you started to be my white knight, so you've had a lot of time to sort it out in the interim. I didn't even know there was a stupid misunderstanding bc I didn't know you thought you were my protector. Otherwise I would have spoken up a lot sooner.


Also ... which friend was I supposedly protecting, and from WHAT NOW?

I'm so confused by this I have no idea WTF you're talking about. Enough already!

Skunks can be that way too. 8)


Thanks, but you only know the persona I allow to be visible on the open forum, such is the case with all here.

Good man is a stretch :lol:



When I said there's one WK I meant a good person who is loyal to everyone -- not just their friends.
That's the definition of a WK, as opposed to the phony type I joked about in that meme.
