I just love love love how people can come up to me and say:

I love you're outfits, But I wouldn't ever wear them.
I want your wardrobe, take me shopping some day when I have money.
You're so tiny! Do you eat?
I wish I could be your size.
I would never want to be as small as you, how would I get a boyfriend?
At least you don't get back problems due to big boobs.
You're so light, even (insert name of weak person) can carry you.
You should grow your hair out!
You look better with short hair.
Why don't you wear makeup?
Why do you need corsets, you're small enough!

And then they finally see past my looks:

Why are you so violent?
You should date so and so.
Why are you so mean to him, he likes you!
Why don't you like him, he likes you!
I don't see why you're so gloomy.
You know I didn't think I would like you at first!
I didn't know you were so smart!
You're the smartest Blonde I ever met.

Things people just say to me:

You're overly happy about things (I asked a bully why bully me)
If you hadn't ask me, I wouldn't have been your friend in the first place. (last thing my exbestie said before ignoring me for 3years)
You're a user, and you're using all your friends and I will tell them as much. (Told the guy I didn't like him.)

The lists goes on and on and on. I never change for anyone, I do as I please and IF YOU CANNOT HANDLE ME, don't bitch about it and then turn around and say you don't judge people. Everyone judges everybody as soon as you encounter them. If you say you don't judge people, you're just lying to yourself darling, because from the two lists above were spoken by people who claim to accept everyone as they are.

You are an amazing, wonderful, fun, feisty, frustrating and fantastic person to know. I adore that you are so perfectly individual and unique. I may not always agree with you - may not even always like you - but I will always respect you for sticking to your principles under extreme duress at times. THAT alone rises you above the petty and mundane in my estimation. There are many who could learn a thing or two from you, me included. Please, don't ever change who you are. I love the Rebs I am proud to consider a friend. occasion5

No personal attacks allowed in the forums. We are all adults here, so please act like it.

If you have an issue with someone, take is private and out of the forums.

Perhaps if you stop protecting certain individuals and allowing them to behave totally inappropriately then this sort of situation would not arise. There is only one person who is the root cause of a lot of the crap that goes on here yet she is allowed to get away with it without fear of censure - as you have done several times with my posts.

Please explain to me why that is... in public.

Ah, I see that we are not going to be adult and mature about this. Fair enough.

Public it is.

You specifically targeted and quoted a specific person and said some downright nasty things. That's being a bully and something I have zero tolerance for and as an intelligent man, I would have assumed you would agree. Now, if you would like to point me to another post where you are being personally attacked I will be more than happy to remove that persons post as well. I don't play "favorites" around here and no one is "protected". And quite honestly, I am insulted by that statement.

Don't for one second think you know everything that is going on behind the scenes or how a situation is handled by the moderators privately. I suggest you take a step back and think about what you want from this site and how you in the future want to deal and speak to the moderators of this site.

And I am not going to be spending any more time discussing this, because quite honestly, I don't need to explain this to you publicly or privately. I removed an inappropriate post and I will continue to do so if it continues, regardless who the member is. I don't believe in censoring anyone, but personal attacks and high-school behavior will not be allowed.

Thank you.

I have been away quite a bit for personal reasons, I am sorry.

Lately when I check the forums I am saddened and frankly a bit ashamed. I have always thought of Stories Space as a big family. From the first day I joined, I have been treated so very good and respectfully. I think of some of you as good friend even though we have never met in person.

I am not addressing this to any specific person because I have seen several who are falling into the category of making this site less than pleasant.

Lately there has been an influx of exceptional new young writers and we older/long time, and hopefully mature members, need to step up to set the good example. I trust that we can because I have not met anyone yet that I have found any reason to disrespect or dislike. Yes, we may all disagree at times, but you can disagree and still respect each other. Please be as good to each other as you have always been to me.

You can't get there from here, because when you get there you're still here and here is now there.

Really???

How come a certain person can go around the forum playing the 'victim' and stirring up FAR more trouble and angst than anything I have been accused of in the past and all without censure, suspension or even having a single post removed? I am not the only person here who sees what's going on with the most inappropriately named member of this forum but I AM the only one who will both challenge her and speak out about her. Like it or not, what you are doing in censoring me when you remove my posts and that is unfair and actually quite childish in its own way.

Instead of being so quick to jump on my case why don't you spend some time going back through the threads and looking over how much crap she has stirred-up over the months? The reason you won't do as I suggest is that you don't want to be in a position to be shown that you are wrong (although you'll claim lack of time or some-such excuse...) That woman has been the cause of so much trouble and hassle to other members, particularly the male members, yet YOU guys cannot - or wilfully WILL NOT - see it. So, before you go around accusing me or anyone else of childish behaviour and the like, you need to make sure that you are fully cognizant of all the facts!

I loathe and detest hypocrisy. The post you removed was my response just such an example of rank hypocrisy by a trouble-maker and stirrer. I will continue to speak out bluntly when I come across it. If that upsets you then, gee, that's just the way it's going to be. I make no apology for that while admin continue to turn a blind eye to what's going on under their noses.

Selective censorship stinks. There are posts on this forum that have been allowed to stand in spite of my drawing admin's attention to their inappropriateness yet, not for the first time I hasten to add, one of my posts has been very swiftly removed... You say you don't believe in censoring anyone, so why has my post been removed?

Will you remove this one, too?
