Was that your only point in creating this thread? LOL.

Boohoo to the noob who slithers off? Good gracious. LOL.

Do you seriously think she is justifying what happened? I think you don't really know which battle you're fighting. There are a few battles here, some of which are exaggerated.

Maybe it's because they felt they were being cyber-bullied.

But seriously, the first time I posted on this site, I didn't make friends instantly. I said something jokingly, in a way I always talk when I'm with someone face-to-face, but it was taken the wrong way. I explained myself and moved on. And now, 3 years later (wow, has it been that long?), I'm still here. Because I built a bridge and got over it. I suggest you do the same.

P.s. I think, if I remember correctly, the person who came at me first was MysticCat. Sorry! Hopefully you don't hate me now, because if you do, I'm going to create a new thread about how mean you are and start one hell of a trainwreck!
