Sockpuppet?

[lady_karelia]

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.

Maybe that's why I have no desire to even visit WIKTT. There are enough bitches IRL.

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.

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.
