Hi.
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but can anyone suggest what I can do if I think someone is Bombing my work? I read about the term somewhere, but sadly I can't find the thread now.
What happened is...
About 10 days ago I posted an entry on a thread in The Playground.
A little later, someone pointed out that another member was suggesting my 'size' was unrealistic. I went back and found the post,
My 'friend' had suggested this person may be confusing my UK dress size with US sizes... so I posted this reply in the same thread.
There was no response, so a few days later I sent L.._S.. a polite PM, asking if they had seen it. The reply I received was abrupt.
I suggested they have a look, and the next reply was both curt and dismissive.
I pointed out they had clearly made a mistake and I asked them (still politely) to go check again.
Their reply was:-
"LMAO. Made no mistake and if you think I'm interested in hunting down a post from a catfish you are cray, cray." (exact quote - (whatever a catfish is
).
I regret I was angered, and I responded by telling this person in no uncertain terms that if they make a mistake publicly, they should at least have the common decency to try to put it right. I also sent a link to the post (to save them having to hunt it down) and another to the web site that proved the truth of how I had described myself.
I have to admit I was a 'little' rude - but let's not forget that this person had publicly called me a liar, and then couldn't even be bothered to look at the evidence I gave to prove the truth of my claim.
I didn't get any reply, but the very next day all of my work took a hit in scoring performance, with two of my works losing their 'Hot' rating.
Now, I'll be the first to say that I'm really not sure if this person was behind my scores all falling - it could be any number of reasons. I just think that... the very next day? - It seems highly coincidental.
If someone doesn't like my work for a legit reason, and they give me a low score, then I'm happy with that - but I would also hope they would leave a comment to say what they didn't like about it. That would help me.
Anyway - If someone has bombed my scores, what (if anything) can I do about it?
Thanks.
Macey.

94lbs and a size 6??? Be who you want to be but at least make the fantasy believable. I can wear a 6 and I am no where near 94lbs.My niece is 105 and wears a double zero.
