Open statement (because hmmm chasing threads is tiring)

[its Leslie]

I am hoping Svenskaflicka sees this, if not someone mention it.

Dear I don't hate you nor your nickname nor your country.

REALLY!.

But when you get older, you will likely develope a sixth sense when someone is just being ordinary and not being hostile.

You will learn a lot of things that only time can teach.

Dull boring lessons that build up over time

Like learning that there is often nothing written between the lines. That what a person says is often just what they said nothing more. That a comment is almost never a personal attack.
That sometimes what is said, is not what it sounds like.

And most importantly, we can all be wrong sometimes. But you have to ask yourself, is it my turn or yours.

Ahhh, more wisdom from the 14 year old with bad acne and no girlfriend.

Cease fire

Why, ofcourse it is yours, Leslie - I am never wrong! I may be a little less right, but never wrong!

Seriously, I understand that you're not trying to declare your own personal war aginst me, but you do manage to rub my fur the wrong way. I'm a very sensitive person.

I don't like being criticized nor patted on the head. I have to fight hard to stay polite when I read something that I not only disagree of, but find plainly - and this is not only you, it's everyone - stupid. I have no need to "convert" people to my way of thinking, but I will object when they tend to state their opinions in such a way that they insult those of us who don't agree with them.

The Swedish language has no real expression for "please", instead we use body language and tone of voice to emphazise whether an imperative is a polite request or an impatient order. This can't be done in writing, however. Because of this, I have been taught to be very picky with words, as they can very easily be misinterpreted.

Like your line "when you get older..." which part of me understands is just 4 words expressing your opinion, but another part of me hiss at for the feeling I get that you're patting me on the head, implying that I'm a little girl and not a grown-up, intelligent woman. (The picture IS 10 years old...)

I think that in order for us to get along on the threads and not irritating nor each other nor the others, we'll have to make a compromise here. If you'll try to be a bit more picky with your words, I'll try to stop looking for hidden attacks in everything you say.

Deal?

(Hey, it's the closest thing I could find to an olive branch!)

My original earlier comment (from an earlier moment on a different thread) stands then, I like you because what you say usually has worth dear.

And I thank you for the response (which is above and beyond what I have gotten before).

I hope you like roses too

By the way....who was "unregistered"? and what was there point?

And who is the 14 year acne case with no girfriend?

 

[LivingUnicorn]

Svenskaflicka,

Don't feel alone. You are not the only one to be attacked by Leslie. He once called me "Stupid" and a few other names. Later after I protested he assured me that it was all my fault that he called me names. A lot like his post here to you.

I normally dispise trolls, but I think our troll here may have hit on something. Maybe Leslie really is a 14yo with bad acne. He also and an ego the size of Asia.

If you read his posts he certainly shows a lack of maturity and very very limited interpersonal skills.

So don't feel alone. He is pretty much a jackass to everyone.

Hmmm.

Ok tread all over the message if you want LU, but I am 40, I am married, for 16 years, to a woman that doesn't really worry about your opinion.

I have called people out before, just like others have done to me of course. If ya can't stand the heat, don't try debating me.

I apologise to those that have it coming to them. I sure don't to those that don't.

I made peace with Svenska here, because she earned it. I wouldn't have if she hadn't.

I know people here on the forum, that certainly won't support your opinion. I won't hold it against them if they remain silent. Because most can't handle being a target like me heheh.

I don't have enough room in the house to fit all the people I know, that think I am the most likable person they know, simply because i don't hide behind fascades.

I am the real thing.

Oh and concerning trolls....look closely at my avatar. It's a flame throwing tank. Which I myself use willingly on trolls.
I love trolls, they burn so brightly.

Trolls are people that stick their noses into topics they are only participating in, to cause trouble.

Why are you here LU?

My thread here was just so I could rapidly post a message to Svenska so she knew I bore her no ill will. Because she and I have engaged in comments on several threads lately.

And I currently think a lot more highly of her than you LU. Your comments here are indicative of everything you accuse me of.

ENOUGH!

Ad Hominem attacks are nauseating and puerile... (always wanted to use all those words in one sentence)

I like hanging out in the Authors' Forum because it usually doesn't degrade to personal attacks... sure, sometimes discussions get heated and sometimes we take cheap shots, usually for the sake of humor, but in general the tone has been mutually, begrudgingly, respectful.

I respectfully ask that vendettas be "taken outside" to the General Board. And that those wishing to engage in them respect those of us who prefer not to witness them.

Agreeing to disagree is important... respecting differences is essential. Heated doesn't have to devolve into hateful...and on the threads I have been on, I haven't sensed it getting to that point.

Svenska and Leslie, I have enjoyed tossing the ideas around with you. Thanks for the interaction here.

ps I KNEW IT! I thought your picture looked like a highschool yearbook picture, Svenska! So it's not just that all Swedes look young! Phew!

Leslie, odd that you would anger so easily for me "Treading on your thread" when you did it so callously to my thread some time ago and obviously felt so rightous about it that you were justified in being cruel and horrible without even bothering to appologize or acknowledge your immaturity.

And as far as age goes. Years do not impart maturity. You may very well be 40 years old, but you are as immature as most teenagers.

To bridgetkeeney: I appologize. I saw Leslie doing to someone else what he has done to so many others, me included and I lost my cool and responded. I will do as you suggest and go back to ignoring what he says because he is so very very unimportant.

But I do wonder, where were you when he called me a stupid bitch? Was that not a "Personal Attack"?

Oh well.

LU

 

[its Leslie]

If anyone wants to bother reading this thread which I link you to, you will curiously notice that at no time have I ever called LU a "stupid bitch".

http://www.literotica.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=100904&highlight=Living+Unicorn

Her interpretations are entirely her own.

In fact her comments were not "attacked" by me at all. In fact I was merely expressing concern. And I openly acknowledged in follow up posts that I had commented based on her providing insifficient information.

Now if LU wishes to live in her own world and put words into others mouths, that were never spoken (or written), then she better get prepared for me to make her feel genuinely not wanted.

These "so many others" please list them or please stop perpetrating falsehoods.

The only person that has referred to you as a"stupid bitch" is yourself. Maybe you should rephrase that as an illiterate one. You can't read properly.

And to think, I was commenting on a thread titled Meeting People. I don't think LU is ready for the real world, let alone meeting people.

 

[LivingUnicorn]

Leslie, you can lie to others but you and I both know the truth. I was not refering to that thread, although that is where the problem started. I was refering to the PM you sent to me after that thread where you did indeed call me a "stupid bitch".

Yes indeed others can read all the posts I have made on these forums. They will find that YOU are the only person I've ever had any real problems with.

Then they can read your posts and discover that you have problems with lots of people. Then they can judge for themselves.

hmm

man, everything happens when i'm not around. i have computer problems again. i believe i'm entitled to put in my pennyworth because this is a public place.

i'm not exactly sure what i've missed here, but i'm really unhappy that adults appear to be having so much difficulty getting themselves understood in a respectful manner.

thanks bridget for plugging my usual 'respect each others differences' comment in my absense, i'm glad there's somebody around who thinks like me.

personal attacks in a public place sicken me. no matter who starts them always i feel sickened.

this thread looked like it began with conciliation, i'd hate to see it end with incurable condemnation.

in a safe, fun, learning environment, which the Author's Hangout is, hatred has no place. i agree with bridget, take your disagreement to another place, probably PMing is more appropriate... i doubt anybody else wants to inadvertently watch what's happening either.

what would be better is that past problems are acknowledged, accepted and then left behind while everybody takes a breath and moves on.

you cannot change what has happened, but you can change what happens from now on.

 

[Svenskaflicka]

I've "earned" peace. I'm so proud of myself. I'm controlling myself, Leslie, but don't push it. *holding back the snarling dogs*
