Does anyone consider the possibility that she may have been a troll? Frankly, I am confused. When I first discussed some personal issues here that were sadly true, many people wrote that my traumas were too over the top. It was my first venture into revealing anything personal. The negative posts were not a deep trauma. Reading people tell me that I was not truthful--people who knew nothing of the ultimate veracity made me bitter. It was so needlessly negative. No one appointed them a jury of my peers.
CE seemed to have many voices in her writing. Some of her posts sounded like a fourteen year old writing, others sounded as a mature, sophisticated adult. The little girl showed true spunk and adult writing skills. Seventeen year olds are not a constant in my world. Last night someone a posted a S-M thread that she started. It was explicit. Many regular posters participated.
Sometimes I thought she was honest. Other times I felt this forum was being played by a prankster. Am I the only one who thought maybe she wasn't kosher? I guess the default thing is to be polite b/c it is hard to judge veracity here. Rather than someone get by with fooling me than rudeness start. She kept popping up in different voices and personalities. Of course, such behavior is also a hallmark of a teenager.
I have often felt like leaving here, not b/c of someone disagreeing with me. The disagreements make for compelling entertainment. All cheeriness would make for a Steptford wife atmosphere. Some people are just vicious. I know I have hardened since being here. The overwhelming response has been nice and encouraging. Sometimes, though, I feel anyone here is a glutton for punishment. Interestingly, all viciousness towards me is on public display. Much praise and nice comments are almost always pms. The JWs trounced us and now we trounce ourselves. Newcomers should be welcomed but every posters should be treated decently. The Witnesses certainly are friendly for a while to newcomers.
This is the Internet. It has some weakness. Overall, the benefits outweigh the risk. I suggest people find the S-M Bondage post. It was tittilating. And not short.
