My life was a misfire

Post Reply New Topic

I think AP likes using Wrong Planet as a journal or diary.

...I wrote a response to RU-POS that didn't go up. Perhaps that's for the better .
I sometimes thought, vaguely, " Perhaps I'll be homeless again, use the pot to cover up pain from a backpack ' . But, I don't know that I want to be zonked so much. it might be pretty expensive, and maybe I'd build up an immunity ".
It does seem it's questionable that I would find any place in SC - Damned unlikely ! - bar a " you're sick enough " status, or "in-a-game-show ' strike of luck.

ASS-P has been behaving himself in this thread.

Furthermore, he is free to use The Haven as a place to vent providing he doesn't spam, and he doesn't start cussing-out forum members. Does he have a longer leash than other posters? Yes, but he's not the only one. If you cannot abide his posts, don't read them.

As for other things, people tend to look past the homeless as if they didn't exist. I don't want people talking over ASS-P in his own thread.

Thanks.

What did the say you have in your eye anyway, ASS-P?

If it's cataracts, the surgery isn't too bad. You're in and out in one day.

If you want to know the honest truth, I really want to talk to ASS-P.

I don't "talk above him." I just talk about him to other people in the thread....like in an encounter group or something....

I think most people on WP don’t think otherwise.

Just in the post above yours he called someone a piece of s**t.





He has an 11 year long leash where this is like thread number 50 of the same exact stuff.

I'm making a wasted effort here to try getting through to you all, that the OP is running a well polished routine to get attention. Not help, but attention. He pushes buttons and manipulates to no end and everyone keeps falling for it over and over again, in one huge virtually incidental thread after another going on for years.

This one has been going on for weeks now, over something basically ridiculous. Before this there were threads going on for weeks over something else basically ridiculous. One got locked in one section and then it's twin popped up in another section.

The brother's stuff being stored on a matter of life and death level of drama as if it was something like needing a kidney transplant donor. And then voilà he's managed to take care of that on his own after all, after weeks and hundreds of pages of melodrama - where members received official warnings and one member even got a 30 day ban.

The biggest problem being that of members getting in trouble in these numerous threads going on for years, were behaving in a way that they had no history of in any other thread even though they had been posting here for years.

The definition of cyber entrapment is getting someone to say things and act in ways they normally wouldn't.

I've been on other support forums that had actual diary threads. None of them ever resembled the OP's where members got sucked into them the way they do with the OP's threads. Nor did any of them keep getting locked over all the problems they were causing. Nor did anyone ever write in a purposely cryptic gobbledygook manner. Or manipulate the readers by playing head games and constantly guilt tripping them in addition to constantly cussing them out and calling them names.

Lots of stuff can be faked or altered or augmented. And the people who are being fooled never realize they are being fooled of course. A lot of times they will insist that's not happening. Despite much evidence of it.

Ezra, if it offends you so much, why don't you just walk away?

A few weeks ago there was a thread (maybe it was even this one, I don't know) where it was almost entirely entries by AP himself. Good, I thought, people are staying away.

Of course, that didn't last.

I like and respect you Bea, but as others have pointed out, you've been hypocritical. Preaching to people how they should act and admonishing them and then doing the same thing.

That said, we are both trying to achieve the same thing. Seeing this finally come to an end by trying to get through to others.

(Oh hey, I'm still here. Not in the greatest mental state, but here.)

ASS-P, I think you have done an admirable job of ignoring the negativity that's being thrown at you here lately. Ultimately, this is the Haven, which is supposed to be a supportive place where people can talk about their personal issues.

Anyone who posts on the Haven is arguably 'seeking attention' for their problems, and hoping that someone out there gives a crap, and might have a kind word for them. That's what the Haven is for.

Yes, there are basic rules that need to be followed. But as XFG pointed out, you've been following them lately, and deserve credit for that, rather than being condemned for past behavior that has already been addressed.

Are you the most saintly poster ever? No - and neither are 90% of the people here (including me). But this is the Haven, and if people have a problem with your behavior, I think they should take it to 'Wrongplanet.net Discussion', rather than crap all over what is supposed to be your support thread.

I'm not trying to pick a fight with anyone on here, or call anyone out. I'm as guilty as anyone else, of behaving inappropriately at times. And I'm not trying to shut down anyone voicing their concern over forum rules - I just think there is a place for that discussion, and it's not here.

Sorry if I'm out of line in saying any of this. Mental state bad at the moment. But perhaps because of that, I know first-hand what it's like to have problems other people don't understand, and find annoying. They can't just wave their magic wands and fix us, and it frustrates them. But I get it, ASS-P. And a few others here do too.

I may or may not be around, or capable of interacting, over the next week or so. But I'm grateful that the mods recognize that you are a human being who deserves compassion and support, just like anyone else here.

I wish I had a magic wand for you, Ashariel. You’re really so smart. You write much better than me.

I wish I could end your torment.

Not lately. Always. That's why virtually every thread OP has started has been locked. The question is, why has there always been so much negative feedback?

ASS-P, I hear what Ezra is saying above, but at this point we've been asked repeatedly to keep it supportive here, and stop talking about you in the third person, so I suggest that people concerned about forum rules being broken should take it to WP Discussion.

Also, I'm flattered that Kraftie thinks I'm smart, and a perfectionist. Often I'm accused of being an emotional idiot, and not trying hard enough. I admire Kraftie's rock-solid stability, and wish I had some of that.

Anyway, hope you're having a good day there. Happy Friday the 13th!

ASS-P, I'm not sure how starting a thread in about you in WP discussion, talking about you behind your back and still in the third person would be the best course of action.

ASS-P, I think if you just talked about yourself, this would be a normal Haven thread. But since you talk about your problems in a way that your readers are somehow responsible for them by not helping you outside of the forum, that makes it rather difficult to be all peaches and cream supportive, you understand.

ASS-P, I also don't get how you've supposedly turned over a new leaf, when in your last post you called someone a piece of s**t who needs to grow up. Maybe you understand that kind of reasoning better than I do.

ASS-P I think maybe if you responded to people more often when they ask questions, rather than leaving them hanging and things open ended, on top of being purposely cryptic, they would be talking to you rather than ending up having to talk about you.

ASS-P I'm looking forward to your next situation that demands personal involvement from WP members. Perhaps it will be something like a 4 alarm emergency involving your comic books. Anyways we're here for you amigo (((hugs))).

...Ezra, you tend to come in and say things that seem just designed to start an argument, perhaps reversing what you said before. And you seem to dislike me...so. since you feel that way, I ignore you some. Sometimes, you are interesting to talk with.
Furthermore, whatever flaws many see in my posts, the fact that several people - including you, though I won't call you the worst - have tended to break into my threads and ENDLESSLY attack me, distracting me from what I originally intended. both my my emotions getting het up as well as by, to an extent. you come in with the attacks demanding answers from me - especially with my limited at times internet time. that distracts Mr.
I'm not obligated to answer everything you, or anyone else, breaks into my threads to rant and rave about - Especially when they are ," let's have an argument "/perverse demands.
