Hm. I don't care about bitching or backstabbing. I do, however, have a problem with lifting a post straight from a yahoogroup and including the names of those who posted, such is done here. Also makes me wonder if that person is a sockpuppet with too much time and a blatant lack of integrity.

I'm off swimming now, it's still about 97 out there *melts*.

Oh, I don't find this too bad. Okay, the person could just have mailed SW and asked (or checked her journal) but it's not insulting or anything.

Besides, SW herself commented in her journal about that and she didn't seem angry just amused.

I think it's a matter of manners - what's posted in the group should stay in the group - that's all.

You wouldn't want someone putting up a private IM on the internet

Exactly what I'm thinking. I know it's done often enough on the internet, but that doesn't mean it's right. *shrugs*

Cough. Well I did talk about an IM I had with someone, but I know them very well, and knew they wouldn't mind sharing.

I wouldn't want someone taking a post of mine from Wiktt and shoving it up on the internet.

Nor would I. Makes me not want to post there again.

Well, maybe. But isn't it a group with 16,587 members (I cheated, I just looked at the numbers), so it's not really a private group. Anyone can go there (and a bunch of underage people are members of it) so anyone knows about it. I don't understand why there should be a lack of manners, since the WIKTT LJ is a sister group of WIKTT, it's still a part of the main group.

As for IM, I agree. It's private because it's between two or three maybe a bit more people, and you trust them. But seriously, can you trust 16,000 or so people?

Well you're comparing the counsel of perfection with what is likely to be factually true.

I certainly don't trust any of that lot not to post something that I'd said, or to whinge about it afterwards and I've talked about what has been said on wiktt a time or two myself but never really pointed out who the participants were in a discussion. It's just not something that I'd do, and we all know that my manners are the guiding principle on which the fandom is founded ;-)

It's not the post that I find disturbing, it's the comment placed there by the same person.

I have a problem when someone lifts a message from a protected group archive and includes names. That is something that simply shouldn't be done. Just my opinion, of course. :-)

Well, as long as it's harmless, I personally don't really mind. Nevertheless, I can understand that some people don't want their group messages on the net. I wouldn't do it without permission.

No, I didn't care much. I know who's doing it, but I also didn't like her little funky comment:

Yeah, she'll be back and the non-ending flood of ME-ME-ME will begin again.

Like I go around being unfriendly and acting self important. She's just a nasty wench.

Yah, I'm with you. I'm only on there for the recommendations and Shiv's posts, LOL.

I do have a feeling this is a sockpuppet, though.

A sockpuppet is a different ID of someone. They typically create it to become more popular, or, in this case probably to get away with wankage.

It does make me wonder several things... One, why stay part of a group that you find so beneath you? Two, why is a community needed to sit around and complain about things? That's what I use my LJ for. :-) Three, what was so offensive about someone asking about a very popular, well-liked author? True, the original poster ignored all the normal ways to contact an author (and I really think everyone knows Southern is an administrator at the Petulant Poetess, has her own Yahoo group, has an LJ, and is on archives with the e-mail function available), but it seems to me the person who posted it was more upset that they were asking about SW69, rather than asking.

It's pretty tacky to lift posts from a Yahoo group and print them out or quote them. But this is it the first time it's been done and I doubt it will be the last. Someone e-mailed me recently to direct my attention to an LJ post. The person had several, unhappy things to say about one of my affiliates. I was shocked, because I thought we were on good terms. Then I noticed the date was March 2005.

You have to love troublemakers because you can't legally beat them.

I'm going to blame this recent rash of negativity going through the community on the heat. Either that, or some fangirls forgot to take their Wolfsbane Potion.

And in honor of potential sock puppets everywhere, I present my icon.

Indeed. Either could be true. The heat is pretty unbearable.

Oh, and, *icon_love* LOL

Ah, the deaded wankage. And always perpetrated by the same few people. *sigh* Just grow up. Seriously.

Aren't we glad we're away from that? ;)

It wasn't very bad, what was said, but I did get the feeling that it's someone that doesn't like me (and is hiding behind a psuedonym). Why? That comment about it's going to be about "me, me, me" when SW69 gets back online.

Like I go around acting self-important or something. I dunno. Maybe I do come off as that way to people who don't know me, but I seriously doubt it. I'm quite friendly, just a little on the blunt side.

It's the same bitch that went around talking bad about me, NSS, and MM's archive "anonymously" on the Secret Whinges site. I ended up tagging her ip addy, and she stopped.

I remember her saying the same thing about "me, me, me." This hooch has a vendetta. LOL. Pity I never had any conversations with her. Teehee. Then she could have had some thing draw from.

It wasn't very bad, right. But That comment about it's going to be about "me, me, me" when SW69 gets back online. That, added as if an afterthought by commenting to the post made me believe it's a sockpuppet of you-know-who. Or a sycophant, whatever *snort*.

I have never seen you acting self-important or anything like that. I have seen a certain other person act like that many a time, however. Personally, I like blunt because it is a language I understand perfectly, LOL.

I missed that on the Secret Whinges, must go over there and look it up. Her style is fairly easy to figure out.

Some people evidently have a problem when someone is genuinely popular. Both NSS and you are, and she probably doesn't like that. WTF. Who cares. There are arseholes all over. Personally, I don't give a damn who's popular. If I like someone, I like someone and that's that, whether they're popular or not. I always prefer people who say it as it is, even if that's from their point of view, but at least then there's no backstabbing, ya know?
