People are certainly replying to her for fun. I don't see how that constitutes torment. She invites it, and participates fully and willingly when it

Here's what I don't get...and I'm prepared for the slamming I'm going to take by posting this... - Jim Aug 14, 07:46 34
- I think some people either deliberately or not misinterpret loosi's posts in the worst possible way. - Reagen Aug 14, 07:50 28
  - This is exactly right. I've grown to love loosi and her rather blunt style. - TWuG Aug 14, 08:19 1
    - aw. *sniff*. Most people find that face to face I don't come across as harsh at all. it's a tone thing. -- nm - loosilu Aug 14, 08:21

    - (and of course, I only speak for me) -- nm - Reagen Aug 14, 07:56
    - Like it or not, it's always been my point. -- nm - Reagen Aug 14, 07:54 22
      - I have to respecfully disagree with your point. - Jim Aug 14, 08:02 10
        
        Of course it's a judgement call. How could it be anything but? - Reagen Aug 14, 08:09 9
        
        And I feel no ill will to you either...in fact, to take you out of the equaion altogether... - Jim Aug 14, 08:19 1
        
        I don't think my attitude towards her has changed but I think I can try and explain the reasoning - Reagen Aug 14, 08:30

        I guess I don't see the impairment. - Reagen Aug 14, 08:22 5

        I've never said my judgement is better than others. It's mine and people are free to take it or leave as they wish. - Reagen Aug 14, 08:33 3
        
        heh. "take it or leave it" - Reagen Aug 14, 08:35

        That's pretty close, yes. Everything is issue by issue. -- nm - Reagen Aug 14, 08:37

        I suppose I'll have to be fine with that. - Reagen Aug 14, 08:05 9

        i've always assumed that she was a real person posting her real thoughts but at the same time found the claims making me *want* to be incredulous -- nm - zork Aug 14, 08:09 6
        
        she has big issues. - loosilu Aug 14, 08:11 5
        
        which is why i lay off for the most part but friends (and family) will always on occasion yoink each other over some shortcoming - zork Aug 14, 08:20
        
        so in other words, don't treat her like a normal STer because she obviously doesn't have her full mental faculties? -- nm - TFox Aug 14, 08:13 3
        
        more like, be a decent person. - loosilu Aug 14, 08:21 2
        
        why can't she defend herself? she can. she's told me to stop before, and i (i think) always have. -- nm - TFox Aug 14, 08:22 1
        
        iirc, she did tell people to cool it last night. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 14, 08:29
        
        I honestly don't think you're that bad. -- nm - loosilu Aug 14, 08:07
  - ok, since I owe you a huge debt for defending me, I won't be harsh on you. I just wish you'd lay off her a bit. -- nm - loosilu Aug 14, 07:51
- I actually agree. -- nm - loosilu Aug 14, 07:47 4
  - Wow...how long's it been? ;) -- nm - Jim Aug 14, 07:48 3
    - since you said something sensible? can't remember. -- nm - loosilu Aug 14, 07:49 2
      - I'm gonna give you this one. nm - Jim Aug 14, 07:50 1
        
        heh. -- nm - loosilu Aug 14, 07:50
people draw her out, insult her, slam her, knowing full well how she will react. I don't get how that's amusing, personally. -- nm - loosilu Aug 14, 07:43 15
- I think a lot of this "slam" and "insult" is people just trying to make sense out of what she posts. -- nm - con_carne Aug 14, 07:52 9
  - totally disagree. there's real nastiness toward her. -- nm - loosilu Aug 14, 07:53 8
    - I guess when I read Stacy's interactions with people here, I don't see that any lines are being crossed. -- nm - con_carne Aug 14, 08:09 7
      - And if they are crossed, her response (including her feelings) are her own responsibility. -- nm - mara Aug 14, 08:11 6
        
        And if there is a line, she can say "Here is the line." This of course would mean she shouldn't keep bringing up those same issues. -- nm - con_carne Aug 14, 08:21 1
        
        *ding* -- nm - mara Aug 14, 08:24

        Yes, because I complain so much about my feelings being hurt on ST. I'm sure you'll be pointing me to this post dozens of times. -- nm - mara Aug 14, 08:17 2

        Oh. Oops. Sorry. My fault entirely. -- nm - mara Aug 14, 08:22
- "draw her out" just isn't true. no one is baiting her into posting this stuff. ever, that i can remember. - TFox Aug 14, 07:45 4
  - disagree, can't think of an example right now but I've definitely seen it. and besides, why have the convo at all? - loosilu Aug 14, 07:45 3
    - i was bored. -- nm - TFox Aug 14, 07:55 2
      - exactly. you're toying with her for fun. that's all I'm saying. -- nm - loosilu Aug 14, 07:55 1
        
        fair enough. -- nm - TFox Aug 14, 07:56
