Who Are You?

Amy & Robin -- I don't think either of you are what Val was talking about. Basically what she's talking about is people who say stuff about SEVERAL people on one site, yet act like perfect sweethearts and run to them with open arms on other sites.


As I said before.. some people just don't see people in their true form so always make me out to be some evil little child... In reality i'm nothing of the sort unless that's how I'm treated.

"Brooke" is an example. I got "yelled" at and sent PM's when I was dirty and nasty to her..... because no one, except fora few, saw how she was towards me. Anyways, before I go far off onto another subject.. I'll stop. :p

I have to say I'm a little different here then in real life. I feel I have to be, in real life I'm a little more out going when it comes to stating whats on my mind. Here, I back off a lot, trying very hard to keep my mouth shut, Intill something really really hits a nerve, then the true me comes out. ;)

As my friends in real life will tell you, I have no problems giving someone my opinion, when I feel strongly about something. Here, I learned that it doesn't work. I don't want this to be misunderstood, my friends say I state my opinions with respect to those I'm talking to. So I'm not a hard noes, I just hate when people think only in balck and white, so I try to show them some gray, nicely. I'm a little afraid to show some people here the gray side of life. :( Fights start to easy here.

But thats the only part of me thats a little different here, the rest is me.

Are we twins? :D
I am more outspoken when I am sitting opposite a person, because sometimes your opinions does not come across well in the "written word".
I tend to be abit of a "grey" person, because I can usually see both sides of the story .......

Great thread Val!!!!

This seems to be directed alot at the live journal thing and I have to be honest and say that I just don't get the point of live journals. To me a journal is private. MY thoughts, MY feelings. Just for me to talk about my day and emotions and only for me. I don't talk any different in my journal than I do here. Can someone tell me why they want to have a live journal and even advertise for people to read it and then talk bad about people and hurt their feelings. What is the point of all that unless you want to start trouble. Maybe its my age or something, but I just don't get it.

Robin :)

I *totally* agree with you. I cannot tell you how much I dislike LJ's.......to be honest. Its like the young and immature PT'ers' place to bash and curse PT'ers they don't like. I did not even know people here post such hateful stuff about others in their LJ's until several people here PM'd me about something someone was saying about me in her journal. I had never been more hurt in my life, and seriously wanted to do something about it, but to keep the peace at PT, I didn't say anything. I did vent about it to some of my friends in private, but I did not say anything on PT, only because I didn't want to start a fight. I have noticed some people do this LJ cursing a LOT, and it is incredibly hurtful. I would have appreciated it if that person would have PM'd me, and said whatever on my face, but to backbite about me like that, and use such hateful language was just sickening. I have never done that to anyone, and never will. I think its stupid posting about others in LJ's, and it is also stupid to post about others in your LJ, and then whine when others do the same to you. I'm just saying this as a general statement........not pointing it out at anyone in particular, because I have noticed several people doing this....not just one.

I'm pretty much the same...really shy, not talkative therefore I have no close friends, and slightly depressed....:(

I think I'm pretty much the same, more or less. Well, since this is a family board, I'm trying to avoid cuss words which I'm sometimes using on my own board (and in real life! LOL), but I think that's the only difference.

As for the life journals... I had no clue about them - and after all that's been written here, I think I better don't read them!

They seem to be getting a really bad name here. It's just a place to go and write. Yes, a lot of people do write about other people, but don't let that ruin your opinion about everyone who uses it :( I don't think I have ever, or would ever, say anything ill of PT or its members in my journal. I love it here too much :D

Live Journal does not only have journals, though blogs are the main thing there. There are many different communities you can join. Livejournal is not private by any means. It is made specifically for your friends to comment on things you wish to talk about, and if there is something you DO NOT want someone besides yourself reading there is the "private" option if you really want to keep it private. I love posting photos and other things in my journal and ranting to friends as only they could possibly understand what is going on. I love the idea of Live Journals. It's a great place! :D AND, frankly, if I did want to say something about someone on PT, I wouldn't hesitate. Either they like it or they don't and I don't hide anything. If I say it in my journal they most definitely know on PT rather I dislike them or not.

Ok, I still just don't get it. I don't understand why you would want to put down someone and hurt their feelings. It just seems so rude and so hateful. I have read some of these online journals and frankly I was quite shocked. I didn't know that some of the Pet talkers went somewhere else and put Pet Talk down and along with some of the people here. I've read some nasty stuff. It made me very sad. I love pet talk and think of it as my extended family. I would never want to purposely hurt someone's feelings here. Like I said I guess I'm a little on the naive side. I guess I was raised "old school". Good morals and values and respect for others. Then there is the old question of if you bad mouth pet talk so bad and don't like so many of the people here than why do these people still hang around? Oh well, just my opinion and I don't usually get involved with this kind of stuff. I just don't like too, but this was bugging me.:(
