Or is it open season on bereaved, terminally sick and other sufferers. Or should we all be less revealing knowing that there are posters who take advantage of temporary, or otherwise, thin skin.
 
I don't see this as any different than any other place where people can express themselves without repercussions. Look at the comments section of any site anywhere. Flame wars are the norm.

"Open season" is too broad a term. When a person has lost their credibility through their posting history, it's only natural for others to doubt claims of serious illness. To compound this, those who receive the least sympathy are those who had shown the least sympathy.

Sorry I have been away for a bit, do you have a link or a thread?

Just based on the above question as someone bereaved and suffering from a currently from somewhat out of control illness, I haven't had anyone try to take advantage of me.

There have been people in the past who have tried or possibly unwittingly crossed that line, but not in years.
 
Sometimes people post tmi.

Even when they get told it might not be wise.

People do what they gonna do.

Not the point.

Before or after she dies in a fire?

I thought you were a "he".

A refresher

I'm flabbergasted that Laurel has this attitude and is so in love with her bullies.

A few posts ago, she claimed that she didn't know much about me until she read this thread.
Now she makes up this thing that I called her names??? The only time when I criticized Laurel -in a bit aggressive, I have to admit - nevertheless respectful manner- was re the Ishmael/VatAssassin thing. I pointed out that. although she was right, partially, I felt she was taking sides, -- just as a personal opinion. I didn't demand anything of her.

If Laurel feels the need to make things up and discredit me in order to make her bullies look good,

Oh well, her choice.
Just a bit strange,
Just sayin

EDIT
Nevertheless, despite my flaws and things that I've done here (and I agree I've done some not ok things, too)
there are certain things that are unacceptable, imo. And I am not self-righteously inserting myself here, because they are common-sense:
- bullying a grieving father over his son
- bullying a person who revealed is suffering from a life-threatening illness
- bullying a mother over her kids with learning disabilities
- and many others. Aka using personal details that some posters slipped in order to mock them
. Ie his/her house looked so and so etc. etc,

There are certain lines that keep crossed here on a regular basis, and if we bystanders don't step in to set limits on those who do them, this place will only got worse

I'm not going to search, Noor, sorry, but you know people are too open sometimes.

THAT's the point.
 
I assumed he was talking to you. I can't imagine why anyone would want to tell a find upstandin' boy such as myself to go to hell.

He probably was aiming at me (he's a sour old pot-head) _ but because....as usual......he didn't quote me, he missed me and hit you. Sorry. Did it hurt, he hopes it did. :)

of course i was talking to her. she's the dipshit trying to sponge off another thread because she has nothing better to do.
 
Could this be the Internet behaviour version of a woman dressing a certain way being responsible for her being victim of sexual assault? If others are imprudent we need not take advantage of it.

That's actually a good point, food for thought. Thank you.

Naw. I'm pretty agile. I am not quite old enough to have duck and cover drills under my belt but I can fake it.

Someone wants Hashtag's limelight??

Some people have black hearts and relish the opportunity to twist screws any way they can.

Even with applying common sense and prudence, that doesn't mean you can't or shouldn't share what you want of yourself in public spaces and forums, it only means that you have to be ready and willing to clap back. In equal measure and harder, if possible.

They always expect you to hurt. They can't deal with the heat when you don't.
 
LOL at this thread from someone that spent the last god knows how long sucking the withered root of Lance the Groveller.

Oh here he is, Shorn-the-stalker, you just can't resist creeping in even if the thread has zilch to do with you, can you, Humper?
