picking on people

Honestly guys, when you were 19, were you much different?

I agree with everyone as I've said, but I'm also 21 and can easily remember two years ago. What a difference, as I'm sure I'll say in another two.
I'm just saying.. no one can make someone view life differently, it happens with experiences and time.. Maybe we should keep that in mind.

In all honesty I do not think age plays into fact here.. If said person is old enough to throw there weight around, use big words, smartly placed insults and all out being quite ignorant then they are old enough to deal with the repercussions on there actions... If you are going to act like you are a grown up then you have to face being treated like one..

I didn't mean people should suck their opinions up and let it slide because of her age, not at all. I agree, if you dish it man up and take it. More remembering us at 19 might might make this a little less of the mega-issue it's turned into.

Who made it a mega-issue, though? ;)

When I was 19, which was some 2,000 years ago, :D we were accountable for our behavior. Stomp down fits didn't cut it. We respected people... there was no choice... it was expected. The older I've gotten, the more I've seen the demise of the younger generations. It's a sad state of affairs out there in this big ol' world we live in. :nod:

I wasn't like that at 19 and I sure as hell didn't think I knew everything.
 
I think perhaps, in her naivety, she was trying ot impress her online boyfriend with her "worldliness and knowlegde" and it got away from her.

Im still surprised he didnt come to her defence, coz I know he saw what went on....even cheered her for it.

BUT, I STILL dont think she deserved a whole bunch of ADULTS, especially ones who had never posted in any of the threads involved, or commented before...giving her grief just for the sake of it...and I think Springers did the right think in closing the thread.

We go on about how she needs to grow up...yet we have "grown ups" responding to her baiting.

If it were your kids being "baited" you would tell them to ignore it.

In saying that.....you just need to read her profile page now to see that she IS a kid....and is responding like any other "know it all" teenager would.

Honestly, I think both sides turned it into a mega-issue. It's Maz level now, and c'mon, she's not Maz lol.

I did lol. Subconsciously at least. I didn't even realize until I grew up some and looked back. Now it's like 'lol, I know shit'

Why is adult capitalized? She's an adult. Once you graduate high school and turn 18 you're an adult and responsible for your actions.

In the eyes of the law, yes. But just because you turn 18, doesnt mean you magically mature and act like one overnight.

I know lots of 30 year old "teenagers":)
 
All I can say is that the only thread of hers that I posted in was the "American Sensitivity" thread. I defended my country - right, wrong or indifferent. Not once did I attack the girl, or her thread, but, I sure wanted to paddle her ass a few times when reading how she was posting to other members.

You get, as good as you give. She got hers. Be it right, or be it wrong. You can't treat people the way she treated them and then cry wolf... it simply doesn't work that way.
 
I saw people going after her for things that had nothing to do with the subjects of her threads, calling her stupid, making fun of the fact that she doesn't live with her BF, telling her she needs to go get laid, Etc., that was all just uncalled for IMO, if you disagree with the threads someone is posting then by all means tell them why you think they're wrong but the personal attacks against her were pretty pathetic IMO.

Just because adults are immature doesn't mean they should be coddled like a child.

I remember one incident a couple of months back between her and a MOD that seemed to get personal.

Yes, the-poster-who-shall-not-be-named has shown a level of immaturity and a tendency to kick a hornet's nest and then whine when she gets bit- but I think the MODs have shown a tendency to jump on the pig pile when the mood strikes.

I realize that MODs are people too... but when the pig pile contains GREEN and PURPLE posters it gains the veneer of sanction.

That said... TPWSNBN does need to understand that in the real world actions have repercussions.

I'm going to use Guyzerr as a point of reference. He's always been kind to this gal... they posted to each other quite often. He commented, respectfully, to her, in one of her threads and she spun around like Linda Blair from the Exorcist, on him. :ninja

What's that all about?

On the same token, I did read where some were short fused with her, however, were they really rebels without a cause?
 
Yes I agree, that considering how uptight everyone is about the constant flood of anti American threads being made by Another member WHO SHALL NOT BE NAMED maybe she shouldn't have made the threads, but those personal attacks were totally uncalled for, especially coming from Moderators, they are supposed to be examples for other posters, and I don't even want to hear that "They're only human" argument, if I went after someone the way I've seen some of the mods go after people on this site before it wouldn't be "But DK is ONLY HUMAN" I would be infracted and possibly banned for it, they should be held to the same standards as everyone else on the site.
 
I've only "insulted" her maybe once or twice if you can call it insulting... I like to call it truth. when i said her and Ed must share a brain or something along those lines. I called her out when she was posting the threads that were started about America. How can you claim a thread to be your boyfriends when you posted it? Shit by any other name is still shit. If you know what I'm saying.
