Man, you're dumb.

Sounds like you guys are working it out, which is great. NOT speaking for anyone else, but if it were me, I wouldn't feel an apology was necessary. Similar to situations I've been in, it sounds like a miscommunication which has been solved; ergo, no harm no foul on either side.Quote:
I wouldn't say that's unilaterally true, given there are some here who seem to "dislike" or "hate" pretty easily (NOT you, Byte, or Oonj; you know those of whom I'm speaking). But even those don't seem to dislike you, so I agree with Magons, maybe just take it on faith that we all have differing opinions and unless someone out-and-out snarks at/about you, there are no bad intentions. From what I've seen here, most people are pretty damned transparent when they don't like someone! ;o)
I tell you - no one dislikes you. I guarantee it. No one is out to hurt you.

I wonder if they have the guts to admit it.
We will see, I guess.
Frem? Seemed to me the thread ended up a dialogue between Byte and me. Should I be afraid to admit that? I can't imagine who you would be talking about otherwise and I don't scare that easy, so color me confused.
I think I'll stay out of this conversation for now, let other folks chime in, seeing as Byte and I were having at least as much trouble communicating as she and Oonjerah. But if you think I have something important to contribute, I'm all ears.

Hey, hey, hey, don't be mean. We don't have to be mean, because, remember, no matter where you go, there you are.

Other people's conflicts don't make much sense. They are generally about feeling hurt and unheard or misunderstood and some other nebulus stuff instead. I'm not sure how you intend to make sense of it, Byte, except to try and understand your own responses to all this. And I'm not sure anyone here can help you with that.
Frem, I'm not sure what you comment refers to. I don't believe Oonjerah is a sock puppet, as I remember her from another board.

I never thiught I would see a thread about Internet mediation???? My advice to the both of you, is to leave the house just a tad more than you both do and worry about REAL fleshy people in the wide wide world. maybe a visit to your respective therapists for a discussion on PERSPECTIVE would be in order. A thicker skin and a wave of the hand in apathy wouldn't hurt guys!!!
With the grace of age, commander, we learn to accept.

Bytemite: "Oonj, it appears I owe you an apology."
It's OK. Like Niki said, no harm, no foul.
"Because what you do bugged me, I've been trying to find something in me that is like it
... a way to relate and see what my anger is really about."
This is the crux of it for me now: my anger, my inappropriate reaction. A little bell rings
& it means, "Time to get up and work on myself."
PeaceKeeper advises acceptance. Good idea!
I want to thank you for something. Last June, you recommended Lord of the Rings Online
to me. So I went there and did that. It's more complex than EverQuest. And in spite of
the huge learning curve, I much enjoy it.
Last. The term "Sockpuppet" is new to me since I came on this board. So, for my information,
is it a greater insult than Troll?

A sockpuppet (or what I call a sickpuppy) is someone having more than one account and posting under more than one name. In other words, pretending to be more "people" than themselves. There's lots of guesses from time to time as to who is who's sockpuppet, etc., but I never figured out why anyone would want to do it, and probably never will. Is there some kind of game where you pretend to be someone besides yourself? Is there a "score" to be kept? And can you ever "win" if the other people don't know Person A and Person B are both you? It's pretty silly, IMHO. I guess if there are two people, and each knows who the other person's sockpuppet is, they can snark that "Hey, we really pulled the wool over HIS eyes!" and chortle together, but either that OR someone getting off on fooling someone else seems rather uninteresting to me.
Frem seems to be saying you're actually someone else here who created a sockpuppet called Oonj. Maybe you are, I could care less. Frem has suspected some others in the past that I thought he was wrong about, but I can't know and I don't care...it would take WAY too much time and energy to figure out who's who's who...I just take people as they present themselves, it's no skin off my nose if they're faking it, and actually more harmful to THEM, in my opinion.

Bytemite,
I've been looking into the other thread, which I haven't read a bit of before now. I can see the source of your frustration. I'm glad I wasn't in on that thread when it went down, because I could see the point on both sides yet also disagreed with some of what both were saying. I might have stepped in and likely pissed off everyone LOL!
I only got halfway through, but it seemed like I expected. Some basic disagreement, then the flawed communication medium and people not really understanding each other, and then it went nuts. I'm glad to see that it's come back around to hand-shaking.
Last night I read that blog you linked to about the potter troll war - very creepy! We've had our sockpuppet weirdos (and possibly still do - who knows!) but at least we can back off and be friendly when the smoke clears. Wow. I can't imagine people being as nuts about fandom as those folks were!
So I'm really glad you all talked this out.
ETA: Niki: yeah, when I said no one was out to get her, etc... I was kind of making an assumption. No one who's a reasonable human and not a half-troll. But I don't see the trollish ones go after Bytemite much, and I think she knows to blow them off anyway.

Oh, no that has nothing to do with it, nor is that directed at you.
Someone needs to come clean is all
