I only posed a question. I stand corrected.
Poll results look interesting though.

Laura, I hope everything goes well with your surgery.
You have my deepest compassion, I have had plenty of kidney stones and I know what a pain they can be, quite literally.

Such impertinence when most of the people here have reached a certain trust level is less than impressive. A certain trust level? You? You have "double personality", real and virtual (for this forum, for this people group). Laurasweetou, good luck.

Chan you said in another post something like this was done to you in the past, I assume then you know it doesn't feel very good. Why are you doing it to me?

I haven't done anything to you, laurasweetou. I see that, and I saw your other post tonight and I appologize. I am starting to get over sensitive because of teh recovery process from my surgery. Maybe this troll might see I am going through a hard enough time and STOP.

Chan you said in another post something like this was done to you in the past, I assume then you know it doesn't feel very good. Why are you doing it to me? OK, this is beginning to get daft. At the risk of being accused of just sticking up for my gf (I really dont need to), or trying to fight her battles for her (She can fight her own prett well), I'm going to jump into this thread with both barrels. Chan has got a lot of abuse in the past and yes it does really suck, but it's part of life and part of the internet. Putting millions of people around the world online and expecting them to just get along and love each-other is as naive as putting those millions of people all in the same room and not expecting there to be any fights or disagreements. People dont get along and thats part of life, real life and virtual life. If you are going to get upset about people not being in love with you online then you really shouldn't be online. Laura, just because this board brings together people related to the same interests does not mean that all those people will get along in a utopian-like wheelchair universe. No matter how perfect or "sweet" anyone thinks they are, there will always be people who just disagree. It's called a personality clash and it's part of life. Dont take it personally and you'll be far happier. Getting upset because an internet forum isn't a love-fest 100% of the time is completely unrealistic. It seems as if the most prominent and prolific posters in this forum have turned everything into a mutual appreciation society. Some people are always going to dislike other people, just deal with it. If you understand that then I can move onto my main point. You know what is worse than getting trolled by internet "villians"? The fact that every-time there is an anonymous poster who has something bad to say about someone, people seem to jump to the conclusion that it's Chan. It happened the last time the board was trolled and again now. Not only is it pathetically unfounded, but it also reeks of naivety. - Unfounded because, well because it's completely unfounded. - Naivety to assume that Paradevo is such a utopian collection of perfectly like-minded pacifists that the only person who could possibly disagree with someone or dislike them enough to voice an opposing opinion is Chan. Looking at the poll results clearly shows that there are at least 17 board members who dont share the false and rose-tinted view of the everyone-loves-everyone type internets. I'm one of them. That doesn't mean everyone hates you, or you should go away and cry or anything. It just means that just as in society in general, the internet is a mixing pot of all types, and some of them dont want to be your bff, Personally I saw the whole "Is she a man" thread as a slightly harsh, but tongue-in-cheek posting by someone obviously trying to troll and have some fun at your expense. I responded in that manner, and so you should of too. The whole situation could easily of been discredited and diffused by a a similarly tongue in cheek response or by posting a decent picture (I hear there is a good tutorial around here somewhere). Instead you did something like this: For the record I dont think you are a man, and neither does Chan. AB on the other hand........................

well that's true and all, andy...but this whole thread was started with no other purpose than to mock one single member. that goes well beyond 'just disagree'ing, or a 'personality clash'.
this thread should have been removed by the moderator immediately.

it was a para on 2 dates that did end badly, but it was over a year ago. I'd be surprised if it was him, but who knows?

Jason and Andy both have good points, Laura. I've been trolled and it sucks at times. I am sure right now, it's more bothersome b/c you are recovering from a nasty surgery. Tri - you are right also, as the thread was started just for the sake of being nasty. Only 2 ways to respond - fight or ignore. I've done both in the past. With respect to this one, I'd go with ignore. P.S. Andy, I LOVE being a man! I can pee my name in the snow!!!

I gotta add that I can understand the frustration of some of the members, although the way it came out is definitely not correct.
This site has been recomended to me by a fellow dev, who did never post but enjoyed and read the contributions other members made.
It helped her a lot through a hard time in her life...
I came here a few years ago, having very high expectations, BUT by the time I chose to join, this board has changed dramatically. I have the feeling that before, there were more decent conversations between devs... The mood on board has changed a lot!
I mean, I love the dev only section but you guys gotta admit that it's kinda lame and there's this guy falling in love with every girl posting pix, there's this girl who thinks her private life is so important that everybody in whole wide world needs to know and there are these schizophrenic people with multiple personalities... (no offence, I'm only human!)
It's frustrating, but definitely not worth picking on weak people!
