[AlpacaTalk] Re: Ah Geez
Well, I last posted on this subject 2 days ago...
To be honest, I am not concerned in the least by some certain jerk's
actions. I was told by a friend about the big stink at AS. I didn't
know about it first-hand because that chat group is not something I
look at very often. It's just not on my radar.
I am baffled that people are saying stuff like "Kudos for coming clean,
takes a big person to admit one's faults" and garbage like that... And
what really baffles me is that anyone puts up with that nonsense!
Because from what I've been told he's done it more than once in the
past. And he just keeps treating people like garbage. Allison makes a
very good point: "The best predictor of future behavior in adults is
their past record."
I mean, there are alternatives to that foolishness.
example. We just don't have to put up with it. I know I don't. And I
won't.
But I'm certainly not stressed about Mr. Blow My Own Horn or his
actions, I haven't lost any sleep over his latest tantrum, in fact I
find his behavior tiresome. No kidding, exactly like a 2 year old
throwing a tantrum. Does anyone want to know why I never intended to
have kids, and then stopped at 1? Thanks to jeebus my daughter was a
very well behaved and polite child.
So that's my stand. I simply don't care what goes on "over there." If
people want to be treated with respect, and as though they are adults,
they can come here. En Masse. And continue to behave as adults.
And like Stephanie said, people will piss off others, people will take
offense at others. But guess what else? We're adults. As long as
there's no actual flaming and serious childishness (which I've only
observed by a certain chat group moderator, frankly), there's no need
for scolding, moderating, or banning.
We don't have to put up with that sort of tyranny, period.
