Ok I have to laugh and be annoyed at the same time. Being me I still managed to piss someone off on here. I got talents!!! Never met the person but yet they feel they can tear at me publicly in their journal. Not just feel they can they do and get sympathy for it!! Evil Bitch must be my middle name... but seriously here's the situation. There's a person on here that requested to be friends with me awhile back – we were both in a community together… anyway I had sent a couple of mails and hugs of encouragement, rarely ever hearing ANYTHING back – then the chain letters started, I can’t say I like ‘em so much in real life but ok I dealt. Then the newest mail on the 28th – can you rate this poem in my journal so it can go on the front page… ok popularity contest now? Come on PLEASE – those that get rated and go out there should be because people found something in them that spoke to them NOT because you kick out a mail to everyone on your friends list asking for it. So I figured I’ll be done and move on – this is NOT the reason I’m here – well stupid me thought rather than just delete cuz thats rude I kicked out a mail…

Hi there - I rated the journal - but I think we are on separate wavelengths in the overall scheme of things here. Nowhere near trying to be mean but I'm not much into the forwards and that is the only way you and I seem to communicate on here. GL in all you do and I sincerely hope the weight loss goes as you plan you seem to be making wonderful strides and I am very happy for you. I do not though think we have a reason to be 'friends on here, you're list is already large and it's just one more person to keep track of. If there is anything you need feel free to let me know and I'll do what I can. Again GL in life
Guess I’m missing something here and it’s not as nice as I thought. I get a friend request from another one of her friends – not a name I knew and as my journal is normally locked (this entry won’t be) I looked at profile and that person is there so I just do a ck in and see this
you would think ds was a safe and calm place where people can't be hurtful. but it is here too. have heard about it from others as well. mostly people going to discussion groups but i haven't done that yet.
chris333 wrote me a message to let me know that since i have so many friends already and i just send her forwards she is deleting me. how lovely. a more civilized way would be to just delete the person. i was really surpised. when i looked at her profile she only has 14 friends. she must be elitist or something. the impression i got was she felt used because i wanted my poem to be rated. wow. wow. wow.
i don't recall ever hearing from her anyway (though i could be wrong) so why so angry?
Seriously??? No, truth is I was ANNOYED that a person on here was using this site as a playground rather than for helping people. I of course answered her entry but as you can delete whatever another person puts on your home page I am putting here in the open.
To end this as I started I laugh because of the childness of this all – to the person - GROW UP. The annoyance comes from skewing my mail to her and using my name. This is a site where folks HELP people not slander. I am not looking to be popular here but productive.

holy crap Chris....feels like grade school eh? lol....from what I read you did nothing wrong...sounds to me like someone is just trying to use ds as a different kind of outlet rather than use it for it;'s intended purposes...doesn't matter where you go...there's always a bad apple in the bushel...she's not worth acknowleding...she needs some serious help...none of that kind of help is here for her....best thing to do...let it go and just delete the sicko...besides...I know you...and what she said is totally wrong and of course she doesn't know it because she doesn't know you...people like that aren't worth the words...anyway hope all is well with you!

I'm having a hard time understanding. Things are rated? You can send chain letters? Skewing mail? It all does sound annoying. Had no idea it could even be done. Your letter sounded very nice. I think some people are just looking for a fight. Just ignore them.

Yeah you can rate journal entries and if enough ppl find your post "inspirational", "moving" "helpful" or "creative" it goes to the front (Home) page. Chain letter are just forwards of jokes and such, the skewing mail was just me saying she didn't refer correctly to my mail and only used what benefited her motives out of it.
I am done with it - just bothers me a little that I will be 'judged' by folks who don't know a thing about me. My overall journal is private because some things may be sensitive to the pending divorce - a just in case measure if I vent that it goes no further than me venting...
I guess a fault of mine that I just have to learn to deal with is learning that people who can judge without knowing another is not worth a second thought
Thanks guys you are great =)

that was too funny really. not a damn thing wrong with what you told her and i admire that you told her. you know me...i would have just put up with it. i have yet to run across any "bad" motives or people and i think that some of us use this site the way it was intended and others have way tooooo much time on their hands.
