In response to "I'm with the C-lister, Inigo. loosi should walk away, but there's no doubt she gets baited. " by musubi

I'll be honest, at this point, why are we saying walk away when it's clear there's baiting going on?

it's like fucking Mean Girls and yet we're siding with the Plastics becuase dammit, the person getting baited should just be better than that.

We're not 13 here. It's a two-way street.

It's fairly clear to me that those who still embrace this fightyness do not now and will not likely ever give a shit that they are doing it. - TFox Nov 5, 13:15

- She's not baiting, she's self-pitying, it's part of her charm. Like I'm a masochistic Mets fan. - musubi Nov 5, 13:19
- There were quite a few people here willing to jump into the boat from the chum. - Will Hunting Nov 5, 13:17 3

even when st calls out the "baiters" they continue to perform their schtick --nm - tRuMaN Nov 5, 13:15
I'm not saying either side is peaches and cream. It takes two to tango, and if you're gonna accept the bait, understand that it has repercussions. - musubi Nov 5, 13:13 1
- I'll be cream and you can be peaches. You'd better not get moldy on my watch, *musubi*. -- nm - Max Nov 5, 13:15
it's just frustrating to see someone playing the victim when they have a little control over the situation - kare Nov 5, 13:13 5

It's partly Mean Girls and it's partly someone being ultra-sensitive. Yes, the Mean Girls should stop, but ultra-sensitive girl should grow a pair. -- nm - TWuG Nov 5, 13:13 1

because by complaining and bringing it up, loosi is just prolonging her own agony. it's masochistic. it's in her power to end it, and she doesn't. - Halloween Candie Nov 5, 13:13 2
- Also true. (nm) - musubi Nov 5, 13:17
- End, no. Ameliorate, yes. -- nm - TWuG Nov 5, 13:14
Where did she get baited today? Did I miss it? -- nm - Spawn Nov 5, 13:12 14
- You bait every fucking day; Amanda does quite often as well. - Will Hunting Nov 5, 13:14 10
  - Link me to where I baited her today. - Spawn Nov 5, 13:18
  - just ignore me if I repulse you so. please. -- nm - mandy jones love jack dawson Nov 5, 13:17 5
    - As long as you don't utter a snide word toward me or kelly or have anyone else do the same, I'd be glad to. - Will Hunting Nov 5, 13:19 2
      - L2! -- nm - Spawn Nov 5, 13:21
      - Oh sh** this is high school. F*** me, am I about to not get laid for 4 years again?! - musubi Nov 5, 13:21
    - This isn't high school, we're not picking sides of a clique. - musubi Nov 5, 13:18 1

    - My reputation proceeds me. - Spawn Nov 5, 13:20 1
      - Oh please, you bait her. I'm not even saying it's wrong, I do it too, but don't play the angel. - musubi Nov 5, 13:22
- I want to know what I did today to get called out. -- nm - mandy jones love jack dawson Nov 5, 13:13 2
  - ok, just to be clear: I did not call you out. I was not referring to you. -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 13:13 1
    - then why did you imply so? wait. do I care? no. -- nm - mandy jones love jack dawson Nov 5, 13:16
I asked a question. I was wondering if I was being attacked. I was told I am. - pilgrims and indians love mandy lane Nov 5, 13:12
