I understand that mental illness is something to be tolerated and understood! Some of my best friends have mental problems and make an effort to deal with them! The ones that really piss me off are the ones that can't let it go! Because of some perceived slight, I have to deal with personal attacks from these people! One has been at it for 10 months! Five or six of her aliases have been kicked off Eons so far and she just keeps coming back! If it was face to face in real life, I would have had her in jail by now! Now, I have another loony tune attacking me in another group! This has been going on for a month! I've apologized to both of them and it has absolutely no effect or affect! Being the manager of a group sucks, and only because of the nut jobs out there! Some people feel that they have the right to say whatever they want and if you stop them, then you are a "cyberbully" and should be attacked for months! Who is the real bully?
The manager of the other group is condoning this behavior, and has come into this group to attack one of our members! When I went into his group to defend myself, my post was deleted and I got a nasty gram from him! Another nut job, well not nut job, more like asshole!
I've made some good friends on Eons, but the one or two are getting me to start reevaluating my position!
Loko, please don't even consider what you may be thinking!!!! You are the best, we don't want you to do anything but what you have been doing.......managing this group that we all enjoy! You know there are total morons out there and there always will be. Some people get a little bit of authority and it goes straight to their head. No need for you to reevaluate anything where this group is concerned, you do a great job and we are lucky to have you as our manager! :~)
Mabel's observations are right on target! When people try to make themselves out as a 'BIG SOMEBODY", they are really just revealing to all what A 'LITTLE TWERP" they really are. The more they try, the more they shrink!!!
What a drag. You shouldn't have to put up with that. This is supposed to be fun—"social networking."
The majority of posts and discussions I've read and/or entered on Eons remain civil. But a few people either can't tolerate opposing views or they're angry, controlling, insensitive or mean. And I imagine a couple are dangerous. Who really knows online?
I read an article a couple months ago about how two guys got into an IM and e-mail disagreement online. One apparently demeaned the other in a chat room or message board and it escalated.
One guy was so pissed off that he crossed the country threatening his nemisis en route. He posted photos of himself in front of each state's sign as he drove. He was charged with burning down the other man's trailer!
On that note, I have never liked the Eons feature that lists my "Eons friends" posts. Tracking posts has a stalking feel to it. I never use that feature.
Loko, There are plenty of us on here who will help you "fight the fight" of whomever is bothering you, just tell us who and where and we'll be there!
As far as the manager of the other group, if he allows this person to say as they please and then attacks you, they aren't much of a manager and it just goes to show that anyone can have a group on eons.
You, on the otherhand, run a great group so don't even think of leaving! Your group is growing by leaps and bounds and that's a credit to your management style. The folks that are here are here because they want to be a part of your group. If you leave you won't be leaving alone!
Hey loko, I don't envy your job! Bad enough that you have to put up with standard nuts like me, you shouldn't have to put up with the hit and run cry babies from the outside. I stand with bookmark! We'll be there just tell us when and where!
Ok, Loko. You stood up for me when there was a bully attacking (or trying to), so did no1, and a few others. I got your back now when the tables turned. I think I know who it is, from piecing this together from past posts...whoever it is, count me on your side! Please don't leave, you are wondermus.
loko if they weren't weak in some area of their own life they wouldn't find your strengths attractive enough to dwell on. I haven't been picked on here but I wasn't exactly popular in school. I dropped out and got married. they won, they scared me away and made my life hell. Never will I let anyone control me again. We are responsible for our own reactions. I try to keep control but in reality, it's still tough. I don't frequent here often but glad I saw your post. Keep doing what you're doing, I see friends here.
Oh, and also, I think this may be the same nut case, different name. She must need another med adjustment. She is like a pit bull if this is the same one. If you get a lot of PM's of a threatening nature, maybe you could file a TRO for her to leave you the hell alone. Or bring harrassment charges against her.
