Well, more sense than usual...

If you want to post often, fine, if you want to lurk, fine. I think the assumption people aren't here just because they aren't posting and are suddenly being summoned to pick on someone isn't accurate at all.

Okay, I have stayed away from commenting about anything related to your personal travails because I didn't think it was my place to chime in, and although I did see your infamous post 49, which was not in this thread but another one, I still didn't say anything. I'm controversial enough around here without trying. When I read 49, all I could think of was one, you're better than that, and two, you've really turned into a personality that's all over the map or if you've always been that way, it has revealed itself more. I believe you're overthinking this entire subject. It's just a coincidence some people are posting. By the way- the "aggressive sexual imagery" someone referred to in post 49? When you tell people to do something physically impossible to themselves, and especially that certain physical impossibility, it can certainly be seen that way, especially with the added enhancement of putting "it" as far up as where you told them to put it.

I've admitted it. I don't wear hair shirts. If all the people who showed up to blast me posted here regularly this would be a more interesting place! LOL
Originally Posted By -em >>Or was it just a coincidence that a number of people who hadn't been here in months suddenly showed up?"<< As previously mentioned I think the true numbers of people who read vs post is a lot higher than it appears to be. I read LP at least twice a day (if not more) but rarely post as either I usually find having an opinion or a sense of humor is not allowed here anymore. If you do not agree with the "puppet masters" that are controlling things you are labeled an "attacker" for questioning or giving constructive feedback to publicly posted statements. Yes I miss the "old LP" because we could all be adults and have intelligent and often witty conversations instead of having to use kid gloves in every topic... -em
Originally Posted By Disneymom443 I'm a lot like -em, I read on posts everyday. But alot of the neg stuff on here just makes me sad. I tend to just post on things like WDW countdown and things like the new updates on Mk. or about -ems blog. I do miss the good ol times and keep checking in to see if there is anything that I want to be a part of.
Originally Posted By Mickeymouseclub I happened to log off just before that post was made.

At least we were not behind the wheel and Lp keeps us safely at home causing accidents online! We are thankful for LP at all hours of the day.

I feel that someone was mistreated by the person involved, and have received communication via Facebook confirming that. I said things I should have never said on LP and apologized for that repeatedly. I don't know what else you want, but that is all you are going to get.
Originally Posted By LadyKluck >>>and have received communication via Facebook confirming that. <<< You make it sound like that's on the same level as a Presidential pardon or something. Someone agreed with you on Facebook so that makes it ok to treat people the way you have?
Originally Posted By Autopia Deb *I* don't want or expect anything. And it is NOT silly to think that the person you were so vile to deserves an apology specifically made to her. Some general mea culpa does not somehow absolve you of responsibility, even if your friends tell you so.

Sometimes, I'll go ahead and post anyway, but I'll quote whatever it was I was referring to so that there's some context. It makes me sad to read threads like this and the others that are popping up lately. I am thinking maybe I should just avoid them because otherwise it feels like it is just dwelling on yucky stuff. ::sigh::
Originally Posted By RoadTrip The person who was criticized on LP contacted me via Facebook. Is that good enough for you? Every apology I'm going to make has been made. If that's not good enough, too bad...
Originally Posted By Autopia Deb So you refuse to apologize to the person you said those awful things to? Nice.
Originally Posted By 999HAUNTS The person who was criticized? If you mean tinkmobile then you are way off base. No one criticized anything about him. I only tried to help him. If he has a problem with that then i strongly suggest he comes here and says so himself instead of crying to you and all the rest of your group about it. Let him tell me himself that i offended him, because im pretty sure I didnt. No matter what you think you do owe me an apology personally. That was a vile thing to say, and I want no more any part of you than a part of anyone else who backed you up on that childish outburst.
