High school was a long time ago but this board reminds me of middle school or freshman high school.

I come back here to keep up on the very few people left that I care about.  This place has turned into a free for all, nasty immature clicks that attack people for no reason when they are the most vulnerable.  People who are so immature that they get their self esteem from attacking others.  "Wow, I really got her" mentality.  Us more mature folks know better.  Then these nasty attacks get cheered on by all the other insecure immature malicious folks that gang up on people.  Nothing any of you can do or say can hurt me.  I am not vulnerable.  There are very few people here left from the great group of people that used to be on AI.   What a sorry state this board is in.  The format of AI is great but the content is sad.  Newbies should be warned.

PS  Gimpy - You are a sweetheart and have so much to give that is valuable and intelligent.  Katie plays all innocent but she is a wolf in sheep's clothing.  In fact, she makes subtle comments in the beginning to provoke people picking on her latest victim.  Just ignore her.

Oh GREAT! Does it ever stop?!

I guess not. I too think Katie is a little sweetie and wise beyond her years. I have to agree with Kelsaysmommy, where do you get your facts from?

PS...hope you are doing well Roxy

I don't acknowledge the meaness that has taken place on the forum.  I won't lower my standards to argue with anyone here.  Life is too short, and there are too many wonderful aspects to life to bother with someone else's squabbles. 

Don't go there, Roxy.  Rise above it all, I know you can. Compassion always wins.   Lindy 

CAN I GET AN AMEN? AMEN. ummmmm..... AMEN ?

Hi Roxy...hope things are going well!

Rooxy please do not be dredging up old arguments.  Hon I wish the best for you but please do not start everything up again.  You know that it is not fair telling newbies things like that when they haven't been here before nor been involved with it.  take care of yourself  xxox  meme

You are treading on thin water, my friend.  You want it all to stop, then you start threads like this.  You just couldn't resist.  We all knew you would be back, because you are just that way.

You should go and stay away....it has been much more peaceful without all this Roxy drama.

Phats

no one should have responded then

Ok I am a newbie. I have been posting for over a month and have yet to be attacked or offended. I belonged to a medication site in the past that was taken over by a "troll" that was attacking EVERYONE and calling us pain pansies or whatever. This site feels very safe to me and I enjoy the discussions until I come to a post like this that dredges up old resentments and wounds. Just let the arguments die and stop attacking other members. Some of us are in pain and lash out at people we care about/relate with; as a release. It is inappropriate but it happens. I hope we can all be adults 90% of the time and expect to be treated with respect and compassion 90% of the time here. I think that is a good number for a board that has no moderator.

Peace and pain free evening to all

-Chris

You know I care about you Meme and we can agree to disagree but if you read Katie's posts, many times she provokes and keeps the fire going when someone is being picked on.  I think she does it because she actually gets cheered on.  That is sad.

Meme; As far as the topic, you are right.  Newbies can make up their own minds.  I sure would not have spent time here the way it is now.  I only come back to read posts by you and others I care about.  I really only posted because someone I like very much was being picked on when I read back, I only come on occasionally, and it was difficult not to say something. 

Phatgirl, As far as your threats go.  You are just one very nasty fat girl who gets her jollies trying to push people around.  Do you really think comments like "I am treading on thin ice worry me?  This is no longer my home for support and you have nothing you can threaten me with."  I will come back whenever I please to check on old friends, get my pms, and when I see someone I care about being harassed and hurt, do what I can to defend them.   You all had the power to hurt me when I was your target but no longer.  I am certain there will be many others hurt by you and your cronies out of pure meanness and all I can figure is low self esteem or just pent up anger.  How can you be so ugly to so many vulnerable people?????  YOu call THIS peaceful since I have been gone.  OMG  Give me a break.  It does not take much reading to see who is always involved in most of the ugliness and the people who have left.  I wonder if they found a home that gave them support or they decided support was just not available.  How Sad.

Hi Blessed, Kelstev, Shannon.  I read your posts and am keeping up on you the best I can.  PM anytime.

Hi Roxy,

I see that you are still as psychotic as ever.  Why did you change the title to your post? 

It has been peaceful around here without you.  I knew you couldn't stay away because you are weak and need to be the center of attention.  If you took 5 seconds to look back at any of the posts you would know that I have not been involved in any of it.  That just shows your stupidity, how you post without having all the facts.  As usual....Roxy's world.  You can post as much as you like.  People will see the real you and the same thing will happen again.  It might not happen today or tomorrow, but it will. 

Oh, by the way, you don't know what I look like, do you?  I thought you were "above and too mature" for name calling.  Guess your true self is coming out once again.

Phats

 

C'mon Roxy, look what you have done.  Phats is right, she has not been involved in anything.  I just hate to see you blaming people and doing exactly what you accuse everyone else of doing. 

Except for a few isolated incidents it has been very peaceful and supportive on this board in the past month or so.

Please don't do this.

crispy39313.3566435185I agree with crispy. Very supportive and very good content, especially for an unmoderated board. I am very happy here. Everyone stop for a minute, take a deep breath, and start posting about RA instead of personal attacks.

Oops!  Just noticed I'm not considered a newbie anymore.  Didn't realize I was posting so much but no matter.  My sentiments remain the same.  

Jesse8839313.4591087963I agree with u Jesse...nice post

There are some really wonderful people here who truly care about each and every one of us.  With so many of us and this being such a passionate topic, there are bound to be ruffled feathers.  We always make up, or agree to disagree and move on.  With the exception of some people who are insecure and bent on making this something it's not, everyone here is great.  Please continue to visit us and put in your thoughts.  Ignore the bad posts, they will go away.

Phats

Oh no this is not going to start all over again is it???? C'mon Roxy just let it go!! I havent been posting much on here lately but I do stop by and read alot. It really has calmed down since you've been gone. No, Im not saying stay away but can you maybe come in without stirring up the mess again??? If you'll think back it wasnt pretty when you left the last time. Seriously, I got tired of reading all the fighting on here and I left. The whole thing was over you and your personal life. I think you went way, way overboard with the everyday details of your personal life. I know you probably just wanted someone to listen and im sure it was okay in the beginning but when members gave you advice you didnt seem to listen to them. You just went back and did the same old thing over and over again I think everyone got a little frustrated with your actions, tried to move on, but you kept coming back and shoving it in everyones face and it just plain GOT OLD! Im sure the newbies know nothing of what im talking about the the older members surely do. Dont get me wrong Roxy,Im not trying to call you out but im going to have to agree with phats it has been less stressful and peaceful since we havent had to deal with the Roxy fights.   

Hope you have a blessed evening!
