I had to block a friend tonight
|
I had to block a friend tonight I guess if you have to end up blocking someone, they aren't really a friend...in my case anyway because it takes a lot for me to block someone. In case you aren't familiar with the term blocking....when you are in a chat room, there is a list to the left of the chat screen of all the ppl in the room. If someone becomes abusive, you can click on their handle, click on 'ignore' and voila...you do not see anything they post in the chat room. They can still see what you post but at least you don't see their abusive chat. There is a woman in one of my regular chat rooms....she can be totally fine and then, all of a sudden, she turns nasty, mean and starts bullying ppl. She has many, many prejudices and is very vocal about them. She doesn't stop when we ask her to so most of us have her on iggy. Many ppl have left the chat room because of her abuse. A guy 'friend' of mine likes her and has dated her in real life. We've had our differences but have always ironed them out. I have given him respect to make his own decision regarding this woman and have supported his decisions regarding her, even though she is verbally abusive to him at times, just like she is in the room to others. He has told me this himself. Tonight, this woman was on a roll. From the moment i went into the chat room, hateful words came out of her...about cops (and there were 4 service ppl in the room at the time), about fat ppl, about disabled , mixed marriages, gays, lesbians...etc etc etc I left to chat in another room. Apparently ppl started talking about this bully woman and what she'd said earlier...after the woman had left the room. I don't condone that. However, they were just repeating what she'd said. Apparently, my male friend was in the room and relayed everything they were saying back to her so she came back into the room. I went back into the room and unknowingly, right into the middle of the fray. This woman had the gall to say she'd reported the ppl for talking about her in a negative way. I reminded her how she'd verbally harrassed ppl earlier but of course, it was no use. Worst part was, my male friend backed her up. After much back and forth stuff, and after most ppl had had enough and had left the room, i finally blocked them both. Even my friend. I told him I was going to block him and he said he didn't care. So though I know it was the right thing to do (and I should have done it earlier in the evening), it still saddens me that this 'friendship' has gone down this path.

I'm sorry that you had this type of experience. The best thing to do is put it behind you. It's not worth it. Life is too short. I have had to block people too. Not fun, not nice but necessary. Time to make new friends.

For me the best thing I can do is avoid people who stress me in real life or in a chat room, you have to put yourself in the number one position.  Anything worth doing is worth doing right

The person you are talking about has made the PacNW chatroom a horrorshow when she is in it.. just an awful human being that has chased so many people (including myself ) away from it. I don't care what she says about me, but watching her abuse other sensitive people is just brutal. Him standing up for her justifies being blocked.. Honestly I do not understand why she has not been banned (she has been before).

I ditched the chat rooms after a month or two. It was a lot of fun- I met some very pleasant people there and had a lot of fun, but it only takes one loudmouth to ruin it. And one loudmouth did ruin it. Most of the chatting I do now is with friends, on AssPlace. I rarely fire up the IM here, and have only glanced at the chat rooms since that first foray. That open forum brings out the worst in some people. Become a member now and get a free tote bag.

that male "friend" sounds like an uncle- in-law i used to work with.. he was one that couldn t let a good day be a good day. if he saw something that someone did , then he would go around to one of that guys friends and tell them and might even add a bit to spice it up .. and he would go back to his job and watch it develop into a fight. some people just like to start shit. some people like this woman you are talking about well, she should just married Donald Trump.. they would get along fine. LOL face piles of trials with smiles.. MOODY BLUES please feel free to visit my blog happy blogging

you did the right thing, you can't tolerate bullies or allow them to continue without consequences
