Peppermint patty,I think you right in as much as everyone is behaving a bit schoolgirly.I went to bed last night after participating in the thread and fooling about,it and cheered me up a bit as I gave out some very personal details about myself out of utter sympathy for her,I am still smarting like hell over it!!! I am usually an extremely private person on these matters so to expose them out of sympathy over a complete fraud is not good.
When the whole meltdown started I went back over some of her old posts,I really should have done that before so I guess its my own fault.
She has continually been a fantasist,fabricator and liar from the moment she began posting on here.On her exit post she said as much and was planning to get worse,after reading it and the mods comments I then felt completely had,the inner panic I felt because I'd blurted out my private life over her has actually knocked me back a long way.One of my symptoms of pnd is paranoia and being extremeley mistrustful, which with the acceptance of some of the ladies was really helping to calm it down a little.Now it feels racked up a couple of notches,but I belive in my freinds on here and I won't be so foolish over someone I don't know that well again and just stick with Sharon and Solitude from now on,with freinds like them I'm happy.
Yes I sent a couple of outraged posts,but after that it was'nt about her,I was just horsing around with some of the others,her name had'nt been mentioned for ages,but I think some of the other ladies on here felt they had been had over by her as well,and it was all a reactionary kickback and letting their hair down.And they were actually messing about with each other and having a banter and get to know you better
play about and learn each others sense of humor and boundaries.
And from what I have learned about you US ladies,if Bee Bee had got a genuine problem the reaction on here I feel would be very different,you all seem to have big hearts and generous souls and the offers of help and sympathy would have been endless I'm sure.
I was in fact very,very badly bullied in school so would not participte if I felt that the person it was aimed at was ill,vulnerable or just did'nt fit in.Thats not their fault and bullying is like punishment,and were its given out without thought or care it quickly becomes a kangaroo court that follows its own warped rules and people do get emotionally(and physically) hurt beyond belief.So that I would not get involved with,and I applaud you for sticking your neck out like that,it also shows you have a very big heart and thats fantastic and you have a strong sense of right and wrong and will stand up and be counted without fear. If you read back over a lot of the posts you will get a very different veiw of her I'm sure,and if you couple it all with her exit post you will see she has in fact been a manipulative,calculating,underhanded,rude and nasty person. Thats the sort of person I hope my daughter does'nt get caught up with,God only knows what she would be led into by a person like that.
