Idiot Free Zone - Sorry, I'm Allergic To Bullshit

Comment Published at 02:2902:2980 comments80 comments196 Visits196 VisitsReport

Truths - That Inspire
The truth is stranger than fiction, and this is something that comes to my mind on a regular basis when I read postings on Minti. The strength of character that many people display when they have subjected to indignity and violence astounds me. The daily lives of other people fascinate me, and I am often shocked and horrified by the stories that people tell in regard to intolerance, unfairness and the like. Especially considering that many of these people are kind, generous and giving souls – even after all they have been through.

Truths - That Incite
Then there are those whose version of the truth is somewhat clouded, they too have suffered some smaller hardships, however this has made them bitter. They are the group who blame other people for everything they don’t like that occurs in their life. It is with baited breath they wait for someone to post an advice article or blog about a topic they are remotely familiar with so they can cry foul, and claim they are personally being victimised. It is a very unfortunate way to view the world, and although I can sympathise with these poor lost souls – I will not tolerate their antics, and the trouble they cause.

Fiction - Causing Friction
Reporting members… There is a pattern that I have noticed in regard to this. Those who have made multiple reports against their peers for reasons that are not in breach, are no longer with us. Their own vicious and desperate actions bring them under scrutiny, and eventually they step too far out of line, and end up voted off the island as a consequence. Once again, I feel sorry for those who create themselves as victims in this sad state of affairs, however they create it themselves. I have even felt sorry for those who have made false accusations against me, (most latterly of conspiring against another member who I don't know and don't want to know in my absence). However I don't feel sorry enough for them to put up with their blatant disregard for reality, and bullshit in their efforts to discredit others.

Fiction - Return Ferals
For the record – I haven’t voted anyone off the island for making claims against me, in anyway. Even when they were offensive, ridiculous and rude – however if I witness anyone doing it to anyone else, I will report and vote against them immediately. Why would I write this now, when multiple accounts have just been deleted? I am writing it because it needs to be said. If you get voted off for offensive and unacceptable behaviour on a site that is fairly forgiving and accepting like Minti, you must have been very rude. A group of your peers has said that you should leave, so take the hint – don’t come back. For those that think this is harsh, let it be known that those who keep returning, keep being deceitful about their identity, and constantly stir trouble. They write comments intended to flame other members, report members for bogus reasons and create multiple accounts to vote themselves up and vote people they don’t like down.

Truth - Not Fiction
Well get this, my twisted little sisters, I won’t be feeling sorry for you anymore, and if I see any of you back online, I will publicly challenge you. Too many times you have made innocent and lovely people turn on each other on Minti. You make people feel sorry for you, and then you start your little tricks and turn people against each other. Perhaps you should go away and have a good hard look at yourself in the mirror, mend your ways and start fresh – somewhere else! I know who you are, your avatars may change, your usernames may change, however your signature shit stirring persona's never do. Get off and stay off, sort your selves out, you have major mental issues if this is the only way you can get your kicks.



This is written in thanks to every member who legitimately reported another member for breaching Minti's Terms and Conditions, and was challenged or harassed for their decision.

Re: Sorry, I'm Allergic To Bullshit...
Hello... Well it is very general, as these are just types of people in the world.  I guess that it relates to Minti, as they seem to be a magnified percentage of the active population here.  I guess you get that in all small communities - odd people stand out more.

LOL - I promise to make my next blog far more direct, and less cryptic.

Me too Tracey, I was sick today, and stayed in bed with the laptop reading people's blogs... It is fun, like peeking through the window into someone's life - we are lucky there are so many great dimensions to Minti.

The other more sinister one can be put on notice, because we want to have fun.

Nicely written Lui! I have only had positive experiences on Minti so far, and after reading this, THANK GOD!   So glad I haven't get caught up in any of the issues I hear my fellow Minti friends sometimes mention to me. I don't understand why other people try to bring others down on here. We're all have something absolutely beautiful and wonderous in common here - WE'RE PARENTS! Time to appreciate the simple and beautiful things in life, before getting involved in silly stuff on here!

I love you all my Minti Mum friends! Luv Ky xo

Re: Sorry, I'm Allergic To Bullshit...
You're such a doll, and it is too true that we all have something wonderful in common - parenthood.  Unfortunately, for some people, that privilege isn't enough to make them happy, and they get a sadistic kick out of trying to lower people to their level.

Bit hard when you are down that low though!  Cheers - Lui.

Wow Lui well said, Its taken about 30 mins to read the blog twice and all answers lol, Im not entirely sure i know whats happened but i think its ok, i only want to be fully informed if it involves me lol..these people get booted off for a reason, in fact, i kinda pity them, that they are so desperate for attention they feel they need to get attention by stirring.

LUI! YOUVE DONE IT AGAIN! Well done!

Nat - why did you read the whole thing you funny girl!  I hope that Mikayla-Rose was resting and feeling better, so you took the chance to put your feet up.

Yes, I feel sorry for them too, however you know how it is - some people don't want help, they want attention, and they get it to the detriment of other people.

So many fun and fantastic contributors have just got fed up with the general atmosphere.  A couple of people, signed in under various accounts, and re-signing when booted, just get on and write the odd controversial thing now and then - make bogus reports, cry wolf and the whole cycle begins again.

Well it's time it stopped!

Wow, that was a great read.  There are a lot of things that have nearly broken me in the past, but I have survived.  I look at life as  a challenge and take what is thrown at me head on.  No one can destroy me or my dignity, though almost lost it myself before (long story!).

People that moan and winge and can't get into life are missing out.  yeah, they might need support too, but it works both ways.

And I love the pic!

Thanks again Arna, you have been very supportive and understanding - sorry about all the reading I have caused you.

Life is a challenge, more so for some than other's and how we choose to meet that challenge determines what our life will be like.  I hope that you take your turn to right your advice about it, and how you retained your dignity.

Cheers - Lui xox

Re: Sorry, I'm Allergic To Bullshit...
Me too Jess, which is why I felt very unhappy about writing this particular blog.  The continuing cycle of discontent, that a couple of ex-members keep creating  is pathetic, and petty, I wanted to make it clear that we are all aware of it. 

Sweeping it under the carpet is so much easier, and turning a blind eye may be politically correct - however it hasn't worked so far.

Re: Sorry, I'm Allergic To Bullshit...
I learned to ignore it all.. :) Ignorance is bliss, I love my bubble....

I find if I ignore it, it ignores me.. No point putting wood on the fire.

Anyway hope it all clears up for you what ever it is, because I'll be honest with you .. In my little bubble I have not seen anything..

Good luck

Re: Sorry, I'm Allergic To Bullshit...
Cheers matey - I hear where you're coming from, I used to do the same thing... Until I became a target that is, when you get accused of stealing picture's - and 'probably stealing people's personal photos' (like please, as if). 

Also when that member creates multiple accounts to come back on and stalk you waiting to make up rubbish.  Like conspiring with another member who you don't know (no offense Heather - make that don't know yet), in real life - that demands a response, or I could be like many other avid contributors of late and leave. 

I think most of the trouble comes from the southern hemisphere, you stay floating in your bubble - and keep smiling .

Hi
Damn kids puking
I miss all the fun 
Because of people like you mention I know a few very valued members that come on here very seldomly now
My reason for not being on is the pukes lol
Great blog should have been a article.....everyone needs to read it and realise that we will no longer tolerate their garbage
Just like the bad kids at school you ostrecise them and eventually they go away as they realise they can no longer cause trouble.
Some people forget we have been on minti almost since inception and know each others writing style and commenting style....we have seen enough of it lol
DA can write a comment or article under any name and we know it is her...cookclan, kellzacar, yourself, nell etc you know what i mean
Without seeing who wrote it we know by their writing style....Wonder if they will ever learn. 
Love the piccy heheheheheh

Hugs
Luv Deb

Re: Sorry, I'm Allergic To Bullshit...
Hi you, I have read your blogs, over due for a comment - I find your coping skills a bit overwhelming, which makes my parenting skills seem very underwhelming indeed - you're a champion mum, with a great family.

I didn't want to have my personal view reflected in as an advice article, as I thought I was in the minority - seems I am not.  Also, if anyone wants to disagree here, and defend the behaviour of a few people with less than honorable intentions - they are welcome to.  Discussion can be made more freely in a blog, as people won't stumble across it as advice if they are google searching and the like.

Thanks for your comment, I am honoured that you took time out from cleaning puke to visit little ol' me. XOX

I wish it wasn't true - it is so lame, and it is like the same idiots over and over... Yet so many people refuse to believe that another person can be so vindictive and ridiculous - so I thought it had to be brought out in the open.

Re: Sorry, I'm Allergic To Bullshit...

OK, at count, there are 56 messages in response to your blog...And I have read them all. 

Well, I am not sure if you were just laying low or thinking about things or letting it fester.  But you certainly have a bit of pent up anger...And rightly so.  Clearly this last bout (and the previous one) is because one member had a beef with you and wanted to exact some revenge. 

I don't know how many accounts she had previously but I am sure at least one of them was to "monitor" you.  And of course to vote up herself.  It is funny to see the comments on advice and in the reported section made by her but on the different accounts...it cracks me up!

I have to say, I have become a bit uneasy with new members and friend requests.  I wonder who they are and why are they asking to be my friend.  I watch their comments and advice and wonder whether or not they are someone other than who they represent themselves to be...

It is sad but true.  Hopefully there will be a change of seasons on Minti...

Thanks for putting it out there.  No holds barred.  The way it should be.  Well done chick.

Love your work!

Angela

Re: Sorry, I'm Allergic To Bullshit...
LOL - I'm not mad... I let it happen didn't I?  I left out enough rope, because if I had reported them, I would have looked like the bad girl (well I am), however not in a groovy way.

I love watching people act more stupidly than even I give them credit for, it is amusing, however look at how many fun people are missing because of the constant niggling that ensues.

I too am wary of newbies, and I think - why do you want to add me and all that (even though I am so wonderful hahaha NOT).  It is a shame, however it is good that we all be a little more wary, and keep the trash where it should be - outside.

Re: Sorry, I'm Allergic To Bullshit...

This problem does seem to rear it's ugly head every 6 weeks or so......i thought this was a parenting site??  If people have to make false identities and mulitple accounts to attack others (that they really don't know, i don't know who knows who around here...i'm on my own) it's probably better to ignore them.  I think you have enough friends around here that if an accusation should come up again they wouldn't be believed.  Afterall it's only words typed into a computer....sticks and stones and all that!

By the way love the piccy.... Julie xx

Re: Sorry, I'm Allergic To Bullshit...
Hi Julie

Ignoring them and being politically correct has merely fed their egos... This has been ongoing for sometime, and it is usually the same couple of offenders.  Each time they come back - really valuable contributors leave, this is why they need to be put on notice.

They stir up trouble on here, in private groups and on msn etc.  They divide and conquer - which is about the only smart thing they do.

It is astounding the amount of effort they go to - they definitely need some sort of professional help - they won't get that on Minti though.

Re: Sorry, I'm Allergic To Bullshit...

Ok, that makes perfect sense when you are in private groups and on msn, i can see how annoying it would be and i think that's probably why i feel like i have only half the story because i'm not in these groups etc....i don't want to know the other 1/2 of the story though!!  I've just had a small bleet on my blog about it and i feel much better with a cup of Chai in one hand. 

And you are right the amount of effort someone would go to, to flame someone they don't really know (you don't know them do you?! LOL) is demented.

Anyway enough of that....fancy a Chai?!!  Jxx

Re: Sorry, I'm Allergic To Bullshit...
LOL - I just read it, very insightful for such a newbie...

I'm not in a private group that discusses this sort of stuff either - however the people that do these things are so stupid that they admit it themselves.

I have always found that if you ask people the right questions, you get the answers you seek straight from the source anyway. 

I have also found that they have such short fuses that they just can't help themselves, and instead of getting the help they obviously need from a community like this, they try to undermine it.

Ignorance may be bliss to some - however taking action and shaping the environment is more my style (born that way unfortunately for my poor mum).

Wow Lui, I think I've missed something again! This is why I have been staying clear of minti except to just check up on my minti mail & friends quickly every now and then! Very well written and I hope that everyone on here reads this. I completely agree with you!

Hello beautiful Teshia,

I know, I think a lot of regular, good fun, sensible people have sort of limited their use to certain things as Minti had taken on a new guise.  I myself couldn't bear to read some of the advice as it was copied and not really advice, and it begged for someone to report it. 

Then there was the massive run of totally lame anonymous questions (notice they are gone?).  So I never even bothered to check Q&A - which is my favourite section.

Well I've had enough - time for a new era where we are all still nice and polite - however lets also be smart, aware and feel free to point out when someone is acting like an ass.

Oooh, those anonymouse Q&A really annoyed me - most of the questions had no reason for the writer to be anon. Anon is for sensitive & embarrassing questions not just for the general bullshit that has been in there lately! And I totally agree with you & will be pointing out the people acting like "asses" from now on!

wow Lui,

that was great and i'm glad that you have written it as i too and getting sick of the same people that we have only just voted off coming back time and time again and then starting all their bs again, i haven't been around all that much in the last few days to family reasons but it would seem that i have missed a lot and i really don't want to know either,

but i just wanted to let you know that i feel the same and well done for writing such a wonderful blog and lets hope that they get the message once and for all, as minti really doesn't need anymore bitching fighting backstabbing and the list goes on, we are all adults why don't we all start acting like that

super hugs and kisses

Re: Sorry, I'm Allergic To Bullshit...
Thanks Kate - I felt it needed to be said, and I was going to try on this new mellow persona where I just sat back and let rampant stupidity take over site.  I even started up my other blogs with the view of having something else (time wasting), to do online. 

Then I thought - stuff it, I am going to go hard and if it makes me unpopular so be it.  This site is for genuine people who want help and want to help other people - I am one of those people.

If I get voted off the island for telling idiots to wind their necks in, retract their claws, use good manners and a bit of common sense - then I don't belong anyway.

Go Lui!

I gotta admit, I actually find it strangely amusing when people keep coming back after getting booted, it becomes like a little game of cat and mouse. How long can they get away without being detected and booted again? Hmm... bets anyone? Who's going to find and report them first?

Or maybe we should set up a virtual Dyson to catch the little rats? LOL OMG I'm still reeling from that. I'm going to get out of here before all my comments get totally obcessed with mice and vacuum cleaners. For those who are totally confused about this, see my blog.
