Yeah. But, from her posts it sounds like she has taken it up with her. Some people really can't help but talk. Even when asked. Her friend sounds like she does it without even being aware. Thats difficult. After a talk about it she may well be trying not to do it. But as soon as she relaxes and starts just being herself itll start up again. Difficult to keep raising it eithout sounding like you're getting at her. or just creating an unpleasant atrmosphere or making her feel unwelcome. None of which Tiki wants.


This has been blown out of all proportion because of the tone of the conversation which followed her original post. The thread title should give a clue that this was a conscious vent about something that was bugging her. It was a tongue in cheek title. I daresay had the conversation followed a different path; one which didn;t leave tiki feeling the need to defend her irritation, then it would have been long since dropped, the vent having served its purpose.

Bottom line...she overreacted. To take offense and respond derisively so quickly is seriously fucked up. Its her right to do it, but so is our reaction.

I wonder if this thread would have progressed in the same way had it been posted in "Nothingland"? Or if the OP had been appended to a thread like "What's scorching your groove today?" rather that having a thread of it's own? These factors can also affect responses, in my opinion. Maybe if the issue hadn't seemed so urgent because it was given a thread of it's own in the main forum, maybe people would have been less inclined to advise and more inclined to sympathise?

If one apology is owed, then I doubt it's alone, but Tiki doesn't strike me as an apologizer and I doubt UT needs one.

If I am to blame, it is due to my low EQ, and I'm sorry about that.

For the record, I don't think anybody is actually superior to anyone else. Most of us seem to be pretty fucked up. I know for certain that I am.

No, it's my fault. As a frequenter of Nothingland, I should have reported the initial post of this thread as errant as soon as I saw it in Home Base. That would have changed the tone of the discussion (correctly pointed out by monster). UT ... sorry to disappointment you man ... I fucked up. I apologize to the community.
