What is it that make people "attack" other members inside replies on questions?!

I thought I'd give it another go. Within less than 24 hours I've seen a masked personal attack, slandering and accusations against a name given member, mentioning another member.

Why? What's your aim?

Sincere people have left this place because of this, other sincere members are speculating in leaving because of the tendencies. Is it really what you want to turn aM into? Why/why not?

    Im not sure that is it. I do know it takes away my wish to stay active posting and replying on questions.

    My aim is to attack.  The people LIKE that who think they can get away with it by passive/aggressive, hidden innuendos.

    I am the great exposer.

    I haven't seen your doings. It seems we aren't within the same threads if you felt targeted by this question. Sorry.

    Your existence is based on attacking?

    Sharonna, I have to say what I've seen in your last attack wasn't about passive/aggressive, hidden innuendos. Do you ever make sure to correct things again after an unfair attack (unfair attacks), or does such thing not exist in your universe? That will be an unfair attack by your hand?

    This doesn't make you a great exposed in my perspective. IMHO.

  • They're bored .. or just plain unhappy.  People like that aren't happy until they make others as unhappy as they are.  I like to ignore them .. it takes away any "power" they might have over us.

    Fair, at least for the part of you standing up to it. I can't judge if your reasons make it a valid one. Attacks rarely does.

    Hmm. You might be right. However attacks on personal grounds against me, a friend, or someone innocent brings up my... Enough said. Thanks replying, and the "make others as unhappy" might be a part of it.

    It is and it creates a very hostile environment that makes genuine people speculate whether to stay or not.

    Maybe instead of making these vague questions in public, you should take it directly to the member you feel is responsible? Or to JA? I don't see the point of this question at all. If you don't understand by now why people do these kinds of things, there is no explanation that will satisfy you.

    These? Vague? You seem to have a good coverage of my doings here? Are you following me?

    Btw, some people don't really seem like they want to respond when asked.

    One could argue that this kind of question is eerily similar to those you take issue with. In fact, there have been a whole lot of finger-pointing blogs and questions asked lately. It's a shame when people don't try to discuss their issues in a non-hostile way. The second it becomes a public "Why did you do this," it makes that person defensive and far less likely to cooperate with anything you hope to achieve. That's all well and good if you just need to gripe I guess, but if you're hoping to inspire change, this doesn't do it. Encouragement does. 

    I sincerely hope you'll find a way to talk to the person in question and promote a positive change and/or report things that are TOS violations.

    No.  Why would you even say that?  Sapphic, how often do I attack people?  (don't answer! --- that was rhetorical)   I guess you need to see my questions and see my answers and then see... (no one could stay awake that long, they are that mild and tame) I would say less than one tenth of one percent is attacking anyone. 

    WHAT I JUST SAID IS I DEFEND THOSE WHO ATTACK OTHER PEOPLE.  I DON'T THINK YOU NEED TO TWIST MY WORDS. 

    (that is the extent of my horrid attacks on here.  I answer those who try it and I put it to rest.  When I am wrong?  Which I have said over and over again is quite often, I apologize PUBLICALLY if necessary. ) 

    I am basically for the underdog and when I am the underdog, I ATTACK like nobody's business. 

    But no, I am not here to attack anyone just because I wake up in the morning..  EVER.  I am famous for defending.  Not attacking.  Okay. I am famous for both, but not because that is all I do.

    I have proved that that is all anyone seems to remember me for.  LOL  What EVER.

    Stepper, I know you are scared of me.

    (I TOLD you that you never EVER make a Taurus angry)  I am here to prove to you I KNOW you.  And you ARE getting there. LOLOLOLOLOL

    You can deny till the cows come home....

    If STEPPER ever really gets mad at me?  I will be DEAD.  DEADDDDD.

    This question was inspired by several persons, not one. If you're referring to any of my posts or blogs being finger-pointing then please be direct.

    The one person you refer to JA, seems letting everyone know how open they are to take a talk but won't go into any when invited. They easily can taunt and make hostile remarks. But it seems being okay and within the lines of ToS.

    To be honest with you, I do appreciate your efforts, and I do like the idea of encouragement, but in that one particular case I don't know how. I seem not being able to reach out. I tried but realised they went back to their old habits within less than 24 hours after I started becoming more active again.

    I guess I should simply turn my cheek and take whatever comes my direction, or at those that happen to have a good time having fun with me inside a threat.

    Sharonna,,you just a bit before accused someone posting nipple picks. Next that they were a socket account for someone else here. The second I can't say is trypue or not. You should let JA know if you have any evidence. The former I know is a lie. I have seen that member and their photos. NONE showed a nipple shot. I believe you kx their profile up with someone else. You did not get back to me when I asked you in my comment to your accusations.

    Secondly you made a public question about me and one of my blocks. You have done nothing to correct it inside that question. Another member of this community has.

    It's these kind of "attacks" I personally find creating a hostile environment. No offence meant. I'm being honest with you, and I know you can handle it,maybe not even make notice of it. Hmm. My thoughts around this subject and my comment made to you. Take good care and enjoy your day/night.
