Worried About Wombat

[Buddhist]

"Yep, she is rallying support alright. She sent out a mass email, and we are all to meet out back and have us a rumble. I got my switchblade and my leather jacket that say's Wombat's Warriors all ready...... "

Cute

"They attacked her through any and every avenue they could get to her. It's easy to say it should not affect you, but when every aspect of what you do online is attacked, it has to make your life miserable."

I'd say its more a give and take relationship. Not one sided by any means.

"but why should she have to give up what she enjoys because of morons who have nothing better to do than type up mean and vicious things to say?"

I completely agree. She shouldn't. But when you dish out some of the mean and vicious things too, then its pretty much even.

I'm still not taking sides though. I want that to be known. Just tired of hearing all this "woe is WW" and her becoming reclusive etc is a pity. Sure, it is sad when we lose an active and participating member of anandtech like WW or Hippy. No Good has come out of any of this and thus its all foolishness. Thats my opinion.

Well you seem to be pretty informed on the whole situation, with your knowledge that it was a give and take relationship. Number one, the people I am referring to (not Hippy) said things that no matter what should not be spoken or typed, ever. Not unless you are one cold hearted sick minded individual who gets their rocks off harassing somebody who is so ill. Number two, if you have a problem with somebody on a personal level, then keep it there. I have had problems with a certain member of this board, and I never ever brought it out on here, calling this person names. That is what PM's are for, simple enough.

<< No Good has come out of any of this and thus its all foolishness >>


Then stop perpetuating it and leave WW be. Enough, is enough, everyone should just leave the subject alone.

All the ugliness that occurred aside, I just hope she's ok.

True that this story is getting old. I honesty wish the best for Wombat as I am sure that Hippy does too. Now is time to stop the bickering and move on. Let it rest and some good might come out of all this mess on its own.

Take care Wombat / Hippy..

Jean has left and it is the Forum's loss - no matter what else whent on.

 

[Buddhist]

&quot;Then stop perpetuating it and leave WW be&quot;

I'm not perpetuating anything. As stated previously, i'm just tired of hearing about it like a couple other people have stated above. Also as stated, i'm not on anyone's side.

Its just ridiculous.

&quot;Number two, if you have a problem with somebody on a personal level, then keep it there...That is what PM's are for, simple enough.&quot;

I'm in agreement there and have stated so before in many previous threads.

I hope WW is ok. I don't blame her for leaving after what went on.

That's what attracted me to these forums: reasonable discussion of all stuff hardware. Hey it took me months to discover Off Topic. You're dead on when you say all these personal attacks and flame wars hurt the forum. Luckily these are mostly confined to OT but I've seen creep into the &quot;serious&quot; forums, too. Bodes ill.

Same here. I started out in GH forums. Avoided OT, but eventually gave in. Anyway, I'm trying to stop the useless neffing, cause its just wasting my time when I could be doing something useful.

EDIT - I hope WW's ok. She's a nice person.

Buddhist, you are such a fvcking clueless worm! STFU dipsh!t! PM this, turd! :|

&quot;Buddhist, you are such a fvcking clueless worm! STFU dipsh!t! PM this, turd!:|&quot;

Oh thats a great example of how you should take it to PM's.
Please don't say anything further ornery because every time you do you subtract from the total knowledge of the human race.

GD clueless twit! :|

I didn't see anybody &quot;dropping anything&quot; when Souder was dicking Esquire. I didn't see people personal mailing Souder to make their point. WTF is the difference here? :|

 

[Ornery]

• &quot;I haven't personal mailed WW or anyone else with regards to this.
  
  I have no idea why your calling me a fvcking clueless worm! STFU dipsh!t! PM this, turd!.
  
  I think thats really uncalled for.&quot;

If I were you, I'd crawl bck under my rock and not say another GD word till I actually knew what I was talking about.

&quot;Please. The Off Topic Forum shouldn't drive you into isolation. If it does, you've got a serious problem.&quot;

You've got a &quot;serious problem&quot; if you think I'm going to let that crap slide! And your stupid fvcking idea about &quot;a psychological tactic&quot; should NEVER have seen the light of day.

&quot;But when you dish out some of the mean and vicious things too, then its pretty much even.&quot;

You got an example for this, clown? I don't evn know why I bother. Just STFU! :|

 

[Buddhist]

Whatever John. If I pm you to keep whatever crap your trying to start with me in private and you post it, then I'm not going to even bother.

I never knew you were so good at pinning the tail on yourself.

That big ass thread concerning womby and hippy actually brought a smile to my face. Why? Have any of you noticed that AT OT has become MUCH more to some people than others? I use AT OT to kill time...and I've since been doing that a lot lately, I can see how AT OT can become a very big part of someone's life.

Anyways...it is stinky poo that Womby's gone...but it's made me realize I spend waaaaaaay too much time here. I used to think what would happen if I stopped posting. Would people care? Nah...and right now I just think that's a good thing. If people actually remembered me on the net, then I know that AT OT has taken over my social life.

This thread was started out of concern for a longstanding member, WW. Now a few of you have turned it into the same ugly bickering that has been seen here as of late. What would she think if she saw this thread? I hope you're proud of yourselves. Please, please. Let's try and keep the remainder of this thread peaceful. Also let's not get into a who started it fight. Please.

 

[Stark]

You guys have demonstrated why ww and many others have left this bbs.

some flames are fun. self-righteous and hateful flames just burn down the forums and cause those with dignity and brains to flee.

Well I am sorry for that.
