We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.

Ngl that argument earlier stirred up a lot of shit for me. There's a lot of in-group vs outsider stuff going on on this website these days, and I think that was in full effect. I feel bad for EAP. I've been there. I am there. Makes me want to delete my account. Just being straight up. Don't expect anyone to understand or care.

hey I’m genuinely confused about what insider stuff you feel was related to the way that EAP spoke to me that sparked this whole thing?? There was no sense of “agree to disagree but I respect your opinion / your lifestyle” and she essentially started mocking me. Ask pretty much any person on this forum who knows me well IRL; I’m not a shit starter. If anything I can be too nice , but this wasn’t something I was going to take laying down.
How any of that read as EAP being ousted as an outsider….I have no idea. People were reacting to her behavior and tone. Point blank.
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.

I think none of you acquitted yourselves particularly well in that exchange and that there was definitely mockery going in both directions, but while multiple people were going after EAP, including denigrating her for being ghosted or whatever, you simultaneously said that she, on her own, was being a bully. I don't think that's actually how bullying works.
I don't think her intention was to slut shame but rather to point out how you have a perspective different from hers and that is somewhat unique as a polyamorous person. I think some of what she said was misconstrued. She may have also done that to you. I'm trying to show some support to her because no one else did and it seemed like a pile on to me.
Again, I don't expect this to have any impact whatsoever.

Literally everyone, everywhere should be in therapy.
Ngl, I probably need two. A regular one, and one of those fancy ones in Boston for the bonus uncensored material that's best described as "Jesus Christ, what the actual fuck?!?"

I'm sorry but I just reread the exchange and the order in which it occurred with an open mind to see if I jumped into defense mode too quickly, and nope, definitely did not.
EAP was making blanket statements about "if you don't reply fast, you don't care" kind of thing which clearly struck a chord with NOT just me. So I presented my side of things, including my own personal relationship experiences and perspectives, to which she literally just wrote, "all I see are excuses. just admit you like ghosting."
She also went on to say "hard disagree" when Jaz said "regardless of age and lifestyle, Rummy's opinions are valid too." Literally saying "nope, they aren't." I never went so far as to claim her opinions don't count, and I never would.
Do you not see where the convo tone shifted there and why? So I should've just ignored that extremely rude, sarcastic and dismissive-to-my-opinions comment? I've been shit on by various people over the years on this website, and years ago I often wouldn't stand up for myself when it happened - I won't be apologizing or backtracking for the fact that I've finally gotten to a point where I do when someone is being blatantly disrespectful and dismissive like that.
Also relevant to add: this isn't the first time EAP has weirdly come at me with aggressive energy. Anyone who was here often circa 2015-16 might've seen how EAP and another poster (who I'm actually on perfectly fine terms with now because she's acknowledged she didn't really have a reason to act that way towards me & has since shifted her behavior, and I am all for forgiving when someone is able to admit past wrongdoing and make a change) were consistently talking down to me and making me feel lesser-than. So again, my finally standing up for myself against someone who has taken this unkind tone and attitude towards me for years, always with completely unclear reasons, is something I actually feel proud of.
But if you could please point out to me the parts where I instigated bullying or piling on that wasn't merely a direct response to her attack, I'd genuinely appreciate it.
