She was just really sociable and fun to talk to, many of us don't get to do that sort of thing IRL - especially with women - so that made her popular.

Why are so many people threatened by that? I don't get it...


but disliking or not relating to someone does not necessarily = threatened. that's just an easy way to dismiss someone's assessment about a person's character that you really do not wish to understand.

emlion needed a lot of attention and that is not appealing to everyone.

she also seems to need a lot of emotional coddling and that is for many of us not our strong suit.

when you seek news about whether there is a risk of nuclear fallout traveling across the pacific ocean to your home, and find none flipping through 6000 channels of charlie sheen eventually you turn off the television. i personally do not relate to her one iota.

note i am not excusing personal attacks on emlion - of course that is not ok (although where she claims personal attacks early in this thread i don't see one). and i hope this is not perceived as an attack. it's not meant so. i am just offering a perspective on why she might have rubbed a few people the wrong way. that is neither her fault nor theirs. wrong planet cannot now be divided into pro-emlion and anti-emlion factions. if you are a person who likes emlion, someone who is less enthusiastic is not now an enemy of you, nor are they necessarily bitter, jealous, threatened, determined to wallow in negativity, or a bully.

loud and clear.

too much drama for some of us, whether directly or indirectly and unconsciously solicited (and irrelevant which)

i never said i disliked her, and i never said i did not relate to her. i just said what i thought about her capacity for influence.

i have no thoughts about that matter at all. do not step up on my flimsy post that you quoted, because it is not designed to support your weight.

that is not my business.

i have never had a worry about radiation, and if i did, i have never had 6000 channels to search through. are you sure that you checked 6,000 channels? that would take a lot of time. after the 15th charlie sheen thing i landed in, i would bow out. but 6000? i find it difficult to ....better not say that again.

i suppose you are talking about emlion and not charlie sheen because charlie sheen is a man, and with that supposition i will say that i like to read what she says. whether nor not i relate to it is moot. i can just learn by watching. it is educational to read.

but in the end i will always be inside my exclusive world, so it is just entertainment for me to address external social reality.

the main thing i say is please do not use my previous posts as some sort of justification to what you wish to assert. what you say is from your head and you should say it without using my post as a walking frame for your idea.

gravity is always merciless. i asked it to stop pulling on me and it said "no".
so i am going to my bed now.
