Taking responsibility for one's own response has nothing to do with being right or wrong.
Nor does continuing a fight for the lulz. And that is exactly what is happening. Someone is getting lulz out of this shit, and it ain't me. And so there you have it. It's alright to have a go at me (and I ain't talking about dx's or anything like that) but when I have a go at the 'protected species', I get jumped on. Called a loser, stupid, whatever. All for doing what any other member would do. I know now no-one will back me up. Too much apathy or they just don't want to. Or maybe they think the other person is right. Who knows? Stand up for oneself, and get flamed. Fair enough. Stand up for oneself and get flamed into having continual meltdowns because the others know they can provoke? Bullying, and not cool.
Please lay off the protected species bs. I warned you via pm that people were drawing you into this shit before it got real obnoxious. You acknowledged that point and then proceeded to walk into the well marked minefield. All the fuck you had to do was say "Yeah? So fucking what if I want to repeat that?" And then let Squid and Butterflies continue moaning about something easily ignored and post in other threads.
I like you TCO but what lengths do you expect me, or anyone else, to got to to protect you from yourself? I saw what the fuck was going on and warned you and you walked right into it anyway and let yourself get wound up and then shit devolved into rather vulgar personal attacks. This is a serious question, but I will live with it fine if you don't bother answering.
Just who are the "protected species" around here??
Look around. When someone slags off say, bint there are plenty to jump to her defence (also plenty don't, but anyway). Elle (though I think she is OK enough) is another. Richard is in certain circumstances. Sure, you may say they are fair game, as with everyone. There are some, however that don't cop as much as others, even if they do post crap.
However, the amount would be nothing compared to WP.
Bint is a cunt who I mostly ignore. I haven't sided with her on anything that I can recall since 2009.
Richard I quit flaming after a minor tiff that was concluded with a ceasefire - same as you and I did back in 2009.
Elle and I have disagreed much more often than agreed on anything.
Hell I made a Poll thread about protected classes last year because I object to the idea.
When I offered to call it quits, all I got was a mouthful of fucking abuse for my trouble. Tghe people I consider friends, you, cbc, odeon, and most of the others never got involved. Thank you for that. Squid made the poll mainly as a joke I guess, and I don't have anything against him for it. The smiley was annoying to, but only because of the movement and flashing that may have caused problems. The big issue was the way Butterflies had gone about the whole thing in the first place. Not content with just complaining )as you say, stiff shit if I had kept up the peter stuff), but the refusal to stop once it had blown up into a full scale war. Both maybe to blame, but as far as I'm concerned, she did virtually all the prodding. And as far as apologising to her (like I did with MLA), she can forget it. Ignoring is the kind of thing richtard would do, and I don't really want to ignore anyone. However, if she has so much of an issue with me and what I say, and wants to shove the 'retard' tag in my face while bragging about her so-called IQ, then she can either put me on ignore, or STFU. Her fucking choice.
Why should I be shat on from a great height and not expect to get my own back?
