You did a shiny thing by trying to spread the word about a truly wonderful organization.


What keeps coming to mind is the line
" I can't abide by useless psople "..which is what that sadly ignorant person is !

Thank you, Little A. I still am having trouble getting past it though. Not just the things she said about me (and believe me it got worse than what I actually said here), it was that she was also insulting Joss, his fans, and this charity...all over something she THOUGHT they MIGHT believe.

I had such a sense of deja vu, reading your initial post and the update, JW. Seems like most established communities have someone like that woman in residence, and heaven help you if you cross him or her.

My advice? Never mention it again. Don't defend yourself, don't explain. If you can, put her posts on IGNORE (some boards allow that); if not, manufacture yourself a big mental IGNORE button and do not respond to her posts ever again, even obliquely. Even if she makes overtures to you down the road a ways. Completely ignore her.

Consider your point made and now don't ever bring it up again. If anybody asks you about Equality Now, reply that you'll take it to PM or something and then drop the subject. The newbies who see her post at and against you will be mystified by her. The longtime posters are already onto her game and are either sick of her or are her little soldiers who will be watching your posts looking for slip-ups and oblique references they can pounce on. Bleah. Can you tell I've been through this sort of thing several times?

That is some great advice, I actually thought about abandoning the site altogether but there are some other posters there I enjoy conversing with so until they start believing her B.S., I think i'm gonna stick it out.

Any argument that has to resort to anger and lies is a weak one, or a false one, and at some level that woman knows it too, so she had to resort to those tactics. The important thing is you tried. She hasn't won as long as you keep trying - not with her - that's hopeless. People can't be fixed, or changed, or inspired to grow until they're ready.

Ugh.

But sometimes, you just gotta learn to recognize the trolls... and don't feed the trolls. It's tough, but remember - most others can recognize trolls, too.

Where IS this site? Don't worry, I'm not going to flame there at all - just curious to see the content.

My friends and I still have a good giggle about that one!!
