    You are a blatant liar. I haven't started a conversation with you, ever.....and haven't responded to you in probably 3 years. So, I didn't "butt anything" into your post. :unuts:

    Instead, it was you butted your nose in my business. See here, post 167.

    The statement you are responding to, the same statement that is attributed to me right above your post, is my post. That's why I said "I prefer it if you still keep away from me." Don't respond to me, don't notice me, don't do anything related to me. Your opinion is simply not solicited.

    I honestly don't know how to make it clearer to you certain TNZers (you know who you are).....I don't like you. I haven't liked you for a while. You are at best an annoyance. I will also never like you, I will never change my opinion on you, and if you were honest with yourself, you would know that I am justified in this opinion, and you really wouldn't expect otherwise.

    I ignore you.....So fuck, be an adult, and do the same!

    Well, I know you will show up to back up Jenee, so whatever.

    Still doesn't change the fact though that she, along with other TNZers, should respect a person's interpersonal space, especially when they have been told repeatedly to move on and talk to other people.

    Sometimes...you really just don't want anything, even constructive or nice things, from certain people!

    If you could look past your own personal bias since you are Jenee's friend, you would see that it is really quite a reasonable request.

    Well it kinda is if you've indicated to someone many times and also for a long time to keep away, ie. "you have your space, I have mine".... but it seems that without fail, after some time passes, they get it in their head that it's ok to respond again. Well, it's not.

    I also think if it was anybody else, and if it wasn't a poster involved to whom you are sympathetic....you would agree that it's a perfectly reasonable request when someone does not desire interaction with a specific person to simply "live and let live."

    But instead of respecting that and the reasonably polite messaqe of "I would prefer it if you keep away from me," I get a "fuck off, bitch." Well fuck, I wasn't the bitch who tried to hump my leg in the first place!

    Not to mention you Diacanu, who I suspect might get it otherwise, but because of who is posting and who it involves....go right into bias, and your "create a diversion" routine. :jayzus:

    I already did, you retard. I've done my part. I don't even post on the board where Jenee started her crap with me. I fucking straight up left!! So you tell me, how much more fucking "ignore" can I get??? Now, when the same people try and perpetuate shit from other places here, and I'm thinking "weird, I'm already ignoring them"....somehow I'm a fucking pussy?

    No, I think it's more like you're running your mouth simply because of who is involved. Instead of advocating for a greater sense of civility and taking responsibility for one's actions, let's just throw it all to the wind and perpetuate the nastiness that can come with internet anonymity. :dayton:

    You may need those sorts of affectations and inconsistencies, but I don't. Seriously, mind your own business Diacanu, and don't talk about shit on which you know nothing.

    Who knows, I think it has something to do with her starting to bother me here when she couldn't anymore elsewhere....

    You can try and distract all you want, Diacanu, but the facts are obvious.

    I think it's just important to be clear, once again, that sometimes some people just don't want anything to do with you, no matter how much time passes. I can only hope that the TNZers like Jenee get it at some point.

    I can't even fathom what appeal it may hold for them anyway....why would you want to seek out someone's attention who has no interest in you? Have some self esteem.

    LOL, I never thought of it that way. Have you checked out CC's site lately? I check sometimes. I don't know what Terry Ferell is doing...

    Jadziamidala Ivanovathena btw was a poster on TBBS in the early 2000s.

    It was a shoutout to Diacanu's longtime and extensive participation to the Trek boards, but I think member bias let him not see it. :shrug:

    Actually it is.

    His surgeries killed the first 40 patients, but I think he's almost got it sorted out by now.

    It's weird when people talk about surgeries and complications like they're some cavalier thing.

    The brain melt in these threads sometimes is just odd.

    Well, I don't think of it as either a hissy fit or a purse fight. I very simply stated my desire to be left alone by certain people. My exact statement: "I still prefer you stay away from me." I don't think of that as bullshit, or drama, or an excessive request, or a pursefight or a hissyfit.

    My comment was also made only in response to said poster responding to something I wrote first, something that wasn't even directed at anyone. As far as I was concerned, I've been ignoring said poster all this time.

    Had people simply used the scroll button or done the same in return, there would be no need to even discuss anything.

    Instead, a hissy fit starts, and instead of acknowledging one's mistake, there is a "Fuck You." So, if there is a hissy fit, let's place the blame for the hissy fit squarely at that point.

    As I stated before, I guess I just don't get it why people can't just live and let live. I don't start shit with anyone, and I think I am a pretty polite poster. I also try my best not to ever be cruel to another person, and to take other people's feelings into consideration.

    I stay clear of drama, and I don't think it's too much to ask for the same in return.

    I begin to suspect that you don't know what we are talking about when we mention the "ignore function".

    You can use the board software to "put Jenee on ignore"...if you do that, you will not even be able to see her posts and it would be impossible for her to "get into your interpersonal space".

    It allows you to be in control of your experience here. I highly suggest you try it and be assured of being left alone by anyone you don't want to interact with.

    There's no need to play obtuse or snark here, Tamar. I'm well aware of the ignore function, and quite frankly, I don't need an ignore function....if something is no longer a constructive interaction, I will just leave. :shrug:

    My remark was a simple request to stay away from me. As remarks go on this forum, it's hardly a terrible one. Sorry if it cut though, apparently it did, because Diacanu spent the rest of the evening fascinated with it.

    The simple fact of the matter is......After sending ridiculous PMs to me, telling me to kill myself, waging repwar against me, spreading lies about me, carrying over vendettas from other forums here, to name just a FEW.....during which time I had no idea who Jenee even was, she was simply being her "follower" self and going along with the crowd.......well at some point you just have to wonder "why the interest? Why not talk to someone who cares about you?"

    Further, it would be one thing if I go around saying terrible things to people on here. One could say..."well it's what you put out there in the forum, so it's what you get back." But, I don't do any of that. I pretty much treat everyone with a basic level of respect for their psychic space. Now, if you or anyone else thinks otherwise, then please, by all means say so.

    What is additionally worse is that -- I can handle the negative remarks, the trolling, the insults. Heck, I still get them even now from TNZers and I don't complain about it. That's because that kind of nonsense actually fits in with the overall opinions, actions, and behavior of the said person. That's who and what they are.

    It's the fake politeness however that rankles. In a dishonest way, posters like Jenee mistakenly think it's ok to respond like she hasn't burned the bridges that she has and instead we have some good rapport. Instead of moving on and bothering other people, these same folks pretend like they never wrote the things they once did, never said the things they once did, never were the people that they are.

    Well fuck, it's not true. You were and are a vindictive douchebag, and that will never change.

    Now, if someone, anyone, or everyone, doesn't want to hear any of this.....as we've been told so many times, there is an ignore function.

    There was no snark...and I sure as hell am not obtuse.

    If you really just want to have Jenee-free time on WF, then you would fucking use the ignore function.

    This passive-aggressive "Don't talk to me" order on a public, free speech forum is plain trolling and :drama:

    Don't pretend to be injured and put out when you can solve your problems with a simple click.

    Frankly, I think both of you enjoy the shit your rolling in. :jayzus:

    I remember Jenee's very first message ever to me being something like "Well, I haven't noticed you before Eminence, but I'm going to go along with groupthink because everyone else hates you here, and be mean to you." This was the very first interaction I had EVER with Jenee. I knew then that that kind of follower thinking was not something I wanted around me. I didn't even respond.

    Then there was the repwar that was waged against me here by Jenee. Many people may not know this, because I generally don't say much about this stuff.....but Krieg1981 (whom I like now and am only mentioning here to include as to what happened), was in part initially here to help Jenee with repwar against me.

    Of course, he is a good member now, yet I remember this because Krieg didn't have 50 posts then and was trying to neg rep to help Jenee, but was shooting blanks. He got to 50 pretty quick that day, but it is what it is. As I said, I like Krieg mostly now so not a big deal. It also involved some other TNZ posters who were here only to wage rep war, but they are not even worth mentioning.

    It's also why I will never condemn Sokar and others for all the rep whining people hurl at them. When people like Jenee were waging repwar against me, it was people like Sokar and others came to my help. Even though we disagreed politically, they permitted my right to speak. If you believe the haters, you'd think Sokar and others are only trolling with rep, but I can say personally that they have turned rep as a way to help someone as well.

    These same repwhine mongers, on the other hand, were guilty of that which they complain now. Where was their indignation then, I wonder? Why were there fat fucking mouths shut then?

    I could go on about the other things such as PMs, but I think you get the point.

    Well that is where we disagree. I don't think there is anything "passive aggressive" about directly and politely asking someone to stay away from me. I think it's quite direct actually, and I don't know how much more direct one can get. :shrug: I also don't buy the "free speech" argument. There are limits to free speech, even in real life.

    Maybe I just have a totally different way of interacting on the internet than others. I am pretty frank, genuine, and direct, and don't put on affectations just because the internet is anonymous. I also know that despite whatever trolling we may do, at the end of the day, there is still a real person on the other side of the computer screen, and treating them as a real person should come before any trolling, flaming, or whatever. Perhaps that is the difference.

    Come on.

    She's given you 53 reps since she's been here and not all of them are negs.

    There have been two or three days over intervals where she clearly dumped her daily allotment on you, but as far as rep wars go, it's maybe a rep skirmish.

    On the other hand, you have given Jenee 109 reps, almost all negs in the same amount of time.

    You asked her. Apparently the answer is "no". You have the power to never see a word she says and refuse to use it...I have no sympathy for your aggravation if you continue to expose yourself to it when you have the tools to avoid it. :shrug:

    People can be assholes in the Red Room. If she is really telling you to kill yourself over PMs, forward them to staff and we will take care of it.

    This is the key statement.

    You also seem to forget that it involved other people like Krieg, TheBrew, TheStig etc, all organized by her....whereas I was by myself for days.

    Are you going to count all of them too, Tamar?
