I don't understand, why are you so adamant about defending an unnamed person?

Not that I care about any of this, but I find the sociological dynamics here interesting.

We all earn reputations and are known by them. Generally speaking, we don't really form an opinion of anyone until we have a positive or negative experience with them. Unless of course, we decide to take someone else's word for it... and while that can be one way of protecting people from harm, it can also harm the innocent. As with anything, people will have different perceptions and one person's attention whore will be another's sweetheart. Some people have a taste for attention whores, and others find sweethearts distasteful.

I think what disturbs people about this thread is that they know even though it is not about a named person, it could be about any one of us at any given time, and that is unsettling.

My advice to you is this, OuterSquare...

Let people learn whatever there is to learn through experience. You don't owe these people anything, anyway. Just take what you have learned and keep reaching for your higher ground. That's all you can do, anyway...

I have to agree with Eakers here, it might be different if you posted that you'd been deliberately conned and lost large sums of money or property as a result but this.. this is airing your personal life in the worst of all possible ways.

I know it's one of two people even without having talked to anyone. There's not THAT many females our age on AT.

I am not sure who you are talking about but a search of you turns up a lot of hits with a specific female name involved.

Outersquare, I have gotten to know the girl in question as well and I know she doesn't deserve your baseless accusations. She is one of the most sweet and thoughtful people I have met. I understand that you were hurt, but you need to get over it. It's sad how you take your bruised ego and turn it into a public service message, that all women on the net are heartless and manipulative.:(

You said that she has done this to many members yet you don't understand how some of the guys already know who you are talking about. :confused:

ehhh, it's just the internet...besides, you don't meet quality women on the internet, you meet freaks :)

Best Places to meet new people

Book Stores
Coffee Shops
Dessert Places (a bunch in SF)
Church
School

Bad Places:
Internet
Bars
Church (it's a mixed blessing)



in the end, all's fair in love and war ;)

The females (at least those of whom I know are female) who have graced this ridiculous thread all seem to have the same gripe and rightfully so. By declining to mention the person whom you accuse of what you deem to be inappropraite actions, you through suspicion on all female members. This is not only cowardly but also unfair. If you have issues with someone deal with them. If you fell these must be brought to the public's attention at least let the other party know and give them a chance to defend themselves. There are after all two sides to every coin. If neither of these are an option then perhaps you should just let it rest. I am truly sorry if you were offended or injured emotionaly or otherwise, but I assure you this is neither the correct venue nor the correct fashion to deal with this.

This guy is just a big loser. His whole "i want my account deleted" crap is retarded. Just logoff and don't come back. WTF is the problem? Moron. this guy just wants some attention.

And don't think I'm trying to defend some if the AT girls as some of these others are doing to get browny points (and yes you are trying, it's blatently obvious but that's another topic all together). I don't know any of them but just reading these posts I get a clear picture of what a loser and whiner Outersquare is. I can't believe he's getting so worked up over a few private messages and forum posts. Get a life man.

I will say that the vast majority of the female readership here is great. Sorry for the unintended consequences. I will reiterate that there were no financial losses.

Because he feels the need to accuse others and stroke his own ego.

And people think eakers is an attention whore.

I've been trying to get my account deleted for quite sometime. Attention whore I am not.

I also noticed in Forum Issues you are practically begging/demanding to have your account deleted. Did she hurt you that BAD?

I agree with the females on this forum that you are being horribly unfair with this topic. You ARE getting attention from this. What is your real motive (other than a "public service" message)?
