Apparently, I am one of the most evil people on DU.

[Beware the Beast Man]

That's right- I helped run Ava off DU, if you believe everything you read. All because I didn't like the fact that she regularly and complicitly contributed to a thread on another forum that gave out one friend's personal info, and threatened to do it to another. Other than that, I had no problem with her.

But I'm the bad guy. According to merh:
I mean, imagine, picking on a 15 year old. One of 'em even seems to admit to his behavior in this thread.


But that's just one of my many offenses, it seems. Me and my "cabal" are the world champion runner-offers of Democratic Underground. Just ask Jimmy Jazz. We ran her off too. Oh, yeah, and I taunted a suicidal woman once.


Fuck this place. I'm done.

1. I just put the popcorn away and I need it again?

I feel like I'm in R/T again.

:popcorn:

[Magrittes Pipe]

2. We all know the kind of people who REALLY run folks off of DU.

And we all know (at least those of us who are honest with ourselves) that you're not one of them.

If all the good people leave, all that's left are the slanderers and abusers.

That said, I'm not the sort to be all "NO!!! DON'T LEAVE!!!1" So, you know, if that's your decision -- I respect it.

3. Boy, I'm gone for a couple hours and look what I come back to.

:popcorn:

:o

[Beware the Beast Man]

7. I'll take this time out to let you know:

I HATE that fucking smilie.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

11. Amen to that

[Mutley]

17. Don't take it out on me, man.

I have no idea why people think you're evil. I always thought you were pretty funny. :eyes:

[Beware the Beast Man]

19. I always liked you too, mutley.

You were never on the 'to Be Driven Off" list. :D

[Mutley]

25. LOL!

That's a relief. :7

[WritingIsMyReligion]

8. High drama, I tell ya!

High drama!

:D

[Mutley]

22. It's always interesting when you sign onto DU

and find 10 locked threads on the first page of the Lounge. :P

[WritingIsMyReligion]

23. Yeah, no shit!

:D

[GirlinContempt]

5. Woah.

Hey, I'm probably on that list too. But I wouldn't leave just because some people think you can't disagree with a 15 year old, and if you do in a mannered way you're attacking her and piling on. There are ALWAYS people like that, and you can't just take off because of them. It's not about that thread, this is about how you're feeling though, and you do what you gotta do.

I know it's awful, and hurtful, and just frustrating to know that people are so misguided, but a lot of people here really enjoy you and would be sad to see you go.

Except when you eat babies.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

6. I never had a problem with you.

And I think you're funny as hell. I would hate to see you go, man.

[Beware the Beast Man]

9. I'm not living yet.

I need time to tell some people to suck my hole.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

13. Tell em good!

:patriot:

[maxsolomon]

10. Evil is a human construct

I've had run ins with Jimmy Jazz, too.

your list of evil deeds is not long enough. post more proof & i will sharpen the pitchforks & prepare the torches.

[TheFriendlyAnarchist]

12. Just let the other people cool off.

I mean, the people who have been flaming today can't all be complete thoughtless, arrogant people who have low self esteem and take it out on others. . .Can they? I for one am compltely ashamed of calling myself a DUer on days like this when people sink to pointing fingers and gossiping like school yard bullies. Honestly, I'm the teenager, I should be the immature one here, not all you adults!

[_testify_]

14. Are you sure this wouldn't have been better if you IM'd it to a proxy

who could then vaguely hint about what was going on?

:sarcasm:


Can I join your cabal, BTW?

[bridgit]

15. i miss JimmyJazz...

:cry:

[Beware the Beast Man]

16. I do too.

She was one of my faves here.


But apparently, to some DUers, I'm one of the ones that forced her away. All because of my acquaintenceships. Go figure...

[bridgit]

27. you've been very straight & reconciliatory with me BtBM, when others...

were not and i appreciate that very much so...there's that :-)

[Misunderestimator]

18. No you're a good guy.

If ava left because you objected to her laughing at a friend's info being published on another site, then she is making a mistake. I know she's only 15, but I saw that thread, and there was no reason for her to laugh about that. I just assumed it couldn't have been that thread. She didn't seemed too phased by the objections to her laughter.

Please don't go. You're someone I would really miss. :hug:

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

20. Isn't doing that illegal in some way?

Not the laughing but the posting.

[Misunderestimator]

26. It's unethical at the very least.

I have a feeling a lot of influence has been going on behind the scenes to cause her exit that has nothing to do with what's been posted on this site.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

50. You may be right. I've never posted with her so I know nothing about how

she'd react to anything.

[Beware the Beast Man]

24. Yeah, but there are a few (you know who they are, quite intimately)

who are using this little moment to their gain.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

28. Fuck 'em.

Ignore them, I says.

[bridgit]

35. there it is...

[Misunderestimator]

31. After some of what I've read today...

I won't say I don't. :crazy:

[Guy Fawkes]

21. I don't know the where...

but I can understand the why... Posting personal information isn't cool, and if you pissed someone off because they did it (posted personal info), then good for you. I don't care who does shit like that, its juvenile and uncalled for.

Hope you stick around, I enjoy your posts (and I'm tired of seeing people I like leave).

[HEyHEY]

29. I'll have words with anyone who says you are - and you know who I mean

That fuckhead with the beard and his travelling roadshow of shit-eating, shit for brains fuckrags.

This is such a joke, a bunch of adults freaking out and acting like children because a 15-year-old girl had a 15-year-old girl moment.

[Ravenseye]

33. What happened exactly?

I'm still unclear on this. Is there a link to another post or thread as to what caused the kerfuffle? Otherwise what the heck happened?

[HEyHEY]

46. I don't know EXACTLY

But apparently things got nuts when Ava got all pissed. Now a bunch of shitheads are attacking my friends. Fuck them and their twinkie-hoarding overlord.

[Ravenseye]

53. Is there a link to a thread or anything?

"things got nuts" "ava got all pissed"

how? where? why?

Still confused.

[leftofthedial]

30. I wish you'd all just fucking leave

Maybe then I could get some fucking sleep

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

36. Try valerian - it's natural

[leftofthedial]

41. I don't have trouble falling asleep

I just have a hard time going to bed . . .

[matcom]

32. shit. i can't keep all the lists i'm on straight

x(

i'm just hoping there is a Publisher's Clearing House winner's list somewhere around here

other than that, i really have no idea what is going on :shrug:

[ScreamingMeemie]

38. Somebody said something about somebody...and then somebody

kept covertly referring to it, and laughing and pointing fingers...and then somebody else got all offended and posted a swan song thread...prompting the dreaded "nasty PMs" about somebody or other, that we're really not sure of, but take your pick...and then somebody else decided to get all offended and make it about themselves and then...well, and so on. You know the DU drill. We're all innocent here...In our own fucking minds. :hi:


So, how's life?

44. would be a hell of a lot better if

i could find out if i'm on that Publisher's Clearinghouse list :D

:hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

49. I never order anything so they throw my entry right in the trash...

you know how they are... :hi:

[_testify_]

52. Didn't that happen last week?

And the week before?

And also the week before that?

And sometime last month?

[ScreamingMeemie]

34. Why is it so many here like to draw so much attention to themselves?

Why the drama? As I stated to you via PM last week, I'm sick of this crap...the innuendo, and then the claims of innocence. Let's face it folks, and BTBM...there really are no innocent victims here when this kind of crap gets stirred up.

Can we all give it a rest? Or would it be too difficult to act our ages for once?

Bye.

[jobycom]

37. Bad or not, I agree with Merh that picking on a 15 year old isn't cool.

Especially carrying it from one site to another.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

39. When I see "agree with Merh" I crack the fuck up

[Misunderestimator]

47. But where is the picking on? Objecting to someone laughing is not

picking on someone. This is just plain WEIRD.

[txwhitedove]

51. I never saw anything about the Beast or a cabal, so WHY isn't this thread

getting locked??
:shrug:

[swag]

40. I wish this weren't happening.

I hope you return.

I have always enjoyed your posts and your presence, and have always been impressed by your intelligence and your humor since I first began lounging.

Best to you always.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

45. Well said.

:thumbsup:

[asthmaticeog]

43. Meh, so leave.

I'll just call you on the phone and we'll go out for beers or something. :P

I'm kidding. Don't leave. If you and others like you leave, the whole joint is left to the assinine gossipmongers who don't know shit about dick, but feel both qualified and compelled to critique strangers' lives.

[SOteric]

48. And you're going to substitute the judgement of these people for your own?

Life is short. Be happy.

[Call Me Wesley]

54. Locking.

Should not have come to this. Reconsideration is always an option, but I will lock this now.
