    Okay I am going to try to explain this as simply as I can.

    You are a 32 year old woman. You are not a child, you are not 12. There is no reason to coddle you, to hold your hand, to tell you you are right when you are wrong. Posting incorrect information and then falling back on claims of ignorance is not a valid excuse for an adult. If you are ignorant about a topic it is your responsibility to either not make declarations of knowledge you do not possess or to spend the time to look into it. Again, you are not a child. Telling you straight up you are wrong and why your responses have been offensive is not "abuse". Telling you some of what you said is down right moronic, also...not "abuse". You have free choice here, no one is holding you down, no one is bringing you here. This is a public forum where everyone is an adult. Time to grow up.

    You have been arguing this whole time. I never really was talking about you. You have talked to me very reasonably. Although I do not agree with how you think I deserve it (as it is victim blaming), but I am talking about the people who were just complete as$holes. I am 32, and when a group makes a 32 year old woman who is tough as nails cry because I was thrown through a loop, there is something wrong there. Why was that necessary? It's not. It never was. You guys did it because you wanted to. Not because it was right or wrong.

    I think you need to ask yourself why you continued to come back if you found the response so upsetting to you.

    I already made it obvious why. I'm an advocate against abuse. This is a form of abuse. Therefore I will fight it. It's hard to fight reason and logic to the ignorant and in denial.

    It is getting a little out of hand. As funny as the gifs are--it's not like she's selling Herbalife. Calm your roll people. And to the target, well, internet.

    but see, I'm fighting common internet bullying acceptance all together. If we accept it, how will it ever get better? This is certainly not what I imagined the internet being. Where people get away with doing and saying things that would mean a real punch in the face in rl. People hide behind their computers and get bold but never get real about the problem.

    I would say everything I said to you in all threads to your face.

    No. People laughed at you for your misinformation. That wouldn't have meant a punch in the face. I've seen people in business meetings questioned pretty harshly for misinformation. That's how communities keep things accurate.

    I don't think it's an accident that I got to roll this. There are no accidents. OP I can really relate to where you are right now. Would you consider getting off this ugly thread and going into a PM convo for like 5 minutes with me?

    When people correct something incorrect that you've said, you punch them in the face?!? Your logic has clearly gone off the rails. I hope a good night's rest will give you more clarity tomorrow.


    And for what it's worth, I am a lot edgier IRL than I am online (because I can judge my recipient/audience more clearly).

    It was meant to be. I knew there was something else lurking under all this behavior. Just had no idea what.

    I disagreed with her first post. I'm disgusted and offended by the rest.

    Your definition of abuse would mean that at my job we do nothing but abuse each other day in and day out. Being verbally critical of other adults stated claims is not abuse, its my job and the job of my co-workers.

    Her first post in the original thread was full of misinformation. Her second post was "lol" in response to the cool starry bra pic. In her third post, she called everyone condescending *kitten*. This all happened by page 2. I can assure you, the only reason this is still going on is because she went from zero to losing it in….well, by page 2.

    I've made comments about this before. I'd be interested in getting some numbers on the "mean" people versus unicorn sunshine people and their professional and academic backgrounds.

    I don't believe in violence, just saying that people wouldn't do this stuff to peoples face because it would mean a bigger threat.

    You claim to be advocating against abuse because you perceive responses to be hostile but then make posts referencing slapping me upside of my head.

    Do you really not see the hypocrisy?
