ORIGINAL: Karmastic i agree it's impossible to not let past negative experiences with a poster (or negative opinions) shade how you feel and respond to their subsequent posts. whenever i catch myself doing that, i make an extra effort to be civil and try and take their newest posts as stand-alone, and try and see how i can positively comment on their new post, while ignoring past history. i know it would be foolish to claim i do this perfectly, or even well. but i still strive for it. i feel bad for chatterbox because i think she's having difficulty making an important transition. and she reacted poorly to some very negative responses (some deserved, some not) to her posts. it seems like she's struggling, and it truly bothers me seeing her get slammed down even more, and then lashing back out like a bullied child. it's not productive or healthy for her or her detractors. /soapbox This particular poster has a history of jumping on her drama llama and letting ugly invective fly out of her mouth unchecked. If she really wants to make a transition to someone who doesn't do that, then she needs to stop doing it. I don't see a struggle here, I see someone more than willing to resort to vicious name calling. It appears to be her default. Only she can change that. some of that's true, as far as how she's reacting now. but I'll respectfully disagree in general only because it seems like others are the ones bringing up old shit and taunting and bullying her. i feel this way, regardless of how much some may feel she deserves it, or she encourages the drama. in fact, as i said, i think they're feeding on each other. the transition i mentioned was going from lifeless vanilla marriage of convenience, to BDSM.
