Damasa, I don't think you have a very good memory, but that's fine. Go ahead and think what you want since you seem to have a bone to pick with me all of a sudden. You did extend support to me. I didn't say that was the impetus for your posts on that thread. Big difference.
Let me get this out of the way, tridelta4ever, I have no bone to pick with, it would be obsurd to think otherwise, but that would be of a different matter. I have a very good memory indeed, agreed i did extend support to you, but in no way did i seek you out in order to do it, you pmed me first and it basically went from there.

Seems like no matter what anyone on here says, you're determined to believe that Hurlygurly meant that EVERY GUY on here is an asshole, which is ridiculous. Your perception problems are not the focus of this thread. If you read what everyone else has said, it's been made clear that it isn't about every guy on this board. It's immature of you to think that. You are making some major generalizations about the intent behind what Hurlygurly said - like you're pulling at straws just to argue. ??? Furthermore, I've said it before and I'll say it again - THIS IS NOT JUST ABOUT ONE POST, ONE IM, OR ONE PM. THIS IS ABOUT A TREND THAT IS GOING ON AND NEEDS TO STOP. You are being so myopic in your view, it's really frustrating.
It is simple really, the way the statement was worded can make an interpretation of many sorts, doing what you do, of all people should know that. On top of it, how did everyone become an expert in interpreting what hurlycurly is saying? I don't see her stating exactly what she meant?!! A little clarification could extend a long way. On top of that, she made generalization by implicating that the guys do something about it I argue on the fact that many other people arguing for her have no basis or valid point to their agruments, mere generalizations and unknown implications, but i'm not going to get all philosophical.
One thing I do understand is that, yes, it may happen quite a bit, but I don't really know that and I really do feel bad for some of the women that may be subjected to it, but what can we really do?! If the moderators can barely do anything, what are the regular posters to do?
As for me being frustrating, it's frustrating to interpret that a few of you are experts on the wordings of hurlycurly which i find amusing because all it is based upon is perception and opinion, and further, you aren't a male reading her initial comments. Like I said, i could only imagine the outrage that would stem from me stating something like" some of YOU little b#*$#es, which I would never do.

She didn't lash out at the guys on GC - she lashed out at whoever sent her friend and sister a rude/disgusting IM. You seem bound and determined to believe that she was directly insulting you and every other guy on GC, and that she wants you to help her, none of which is the case, I can assure you! Maybe you should read over her post again, Damasa.
From her initial statments, she lashed out at more than just the person that sent her friend the im and that is perceived by her statements. She doesn't want us to help her?!?! Then what was the statement about "you guys better straighten this out, blah blah blah?!?!" Huh? Tell me again? Who should read over her post again?

Again, reread her post, about you guys need to straighten things out. An FYI doesn't look anything like what she posted I don't take personal requests from anyone that I don't know and further, like i said, are you an expert on her post? You may know her indeed, but you didn't post, and like i said, mere wording can cause a world of hurt. Clarification is all that is needed....not by people that claim to know what she was saying, but what she was saying. And I won't directly go to her, because I don't want to be "one of those weirdos" eventhough i know who she is, but that's beside the point.

And no, it never did occur to me that this thread shouldn't have been posted, because I'm glad it was. You have no proof to back
up anything that you "guaranteed".
Good point, the person could be a regular to GC, I overlooked that. You have no proof to back up what you say about her not implying things either, and the only thing i guaranteed was that she is using her other nickname, I didn't put a personal guarantee on everything For that, I dont need proof, why would I be "that guy" and be like, hey everyone, hurlycurly is so and so, that's uncalled for...
