Yes, but you still wouldn't tolerate them being ganged up on constantly. And if you say you would, then you'd be lying. And frankly, I'm done with this thread because in the end, it's pointless. As another poster said, it just goes round and round in circles. I'd like to think my kids are smart enough to realize their part in the situation and correct themselves. And you know what if they are old enough to run their mouth that way and keep doing it then they are going to have to deal the consequences.
If they are 12 or younger, or on the spectrum then yes I'd probably step in but to correct my child.
Whatever happened to personal responsibility? Shouldn't Rainbow recognize her part in all this? Or is it she can say whatever she wants and not be called on?
Yes, she should have personal responsibility. So should those berating her. Self-control. People here seem to take great joy in jumping on her. It's really sort of sick the glee they take in doing so and how vociferously they will defend their doing so.

On this particular thread How long is this going to....Here are some quotes from what the first 7 replies: The subject that the OP posted about is a very concerning topic for many people. Issues of race and crimes, restitution etc All hot topics that need to be challenged and discussed. But because it was this particular poster she was, within the first 7 or so posts, dismissed, told to go to school and learn something, accused of having a chip on her shoulder and another poster called her a troll and told the rest of us not to have a conversation with her. This was the first half of the first page. This wasn't after page after page of frustrating discussion, Yep. In the thread someone recently posted screen shots of, there were posters who took the time to say they wanted to educate but it wasn't worth their time. When it was said that even if you believe that it’ll do no good for that person, it might help other people reading here but not joining in the conversation. That was rejected by several people as wrong and the personal a t t a c k s continued on. So they had no time to educate, but plenty of time to ridicule. Yeah, that's rational and all Rainbow's fault.

And I'll probably regret this, but there it is. That statement just shuts down any discussion. And intentionally used to shut me up. Congratulations on your open mindedness. The whole idea that some of these people on the left are open-minded is laughable. The only people who are entitled to the tolerance they preach are those they either agree with socially and politically or those whose life styles they agree with. That is the reality although I know that they will defend their close mindedness gleefully while parading others for not being open-minded. It's the biggest pile of crap I've ever seen This is why, in the end, conservative simply stop discussing issues and use their votes to put through their own philosophies. And then they wonder how someone like Donald Trump can rise so far

Let me give you a scenario. If there was a mentally challenged person who was being ganged up on and he laughed at all the attention. Would it be ok to continue ganging up on him? After all, he doesn't believe he's being made fun of or harassed.
I don't think Rainbow is mentally ill but I've heard many of the people who berate her claim that she is. Doesn't that rub you wrong? It does me.

Apparently admin has changed all uses of the word "hug" to "hug." Either that or someone else has hacked into the board and done it. It happened with one of my posts too, where I know that I used "hug" and not "hug." I love this place! Some days it is like any dysfunctional family's thanksgiving dinner. ETA: I can't even type out the word a t t a c k without it being changed to hug. In both instances above, first word was a t t a c k. I like the hug version - very funny! That's hilarious!

Adults can be bullied by other adults as well. Of course they can but when you constantly post the same type of things over and over again you know full well how it's going to play out. If you truly felt bullied you'd stop to protect yourself.And there it is. The entire point of the bullying.

As a fully grown adult yes if you feel bullied on the internet you always have the option of not logging on. I believe it's some kind of common sense. Rainbow has already said she doesn't pay any attention to attempts to bully her.

I believe it's some kind of common sense. Rainbow has already said she doesn't pay any attention to attempts to bully her. I left 2Peas for 2 years because I was feeling harassed and bullied by one poster who would follow me from thread to thread, even fluff ones. The stress that 2Peas caused me outweighed the support I found there/here at that time. So, I made a healthy-for-me-decision and left for two years and only decided to come back when someone called me to a thread and I noticed that person wasn't posting any more. So, yes, adults can and should, IMO, logoff and walk away if they are feeling bullied. One of the supreme ironies of this thread is that both Lauren and Rainbow applauded that pea's constant bullying of me and turning every thread she could into a "let's slam Elaine thread."

I think Elaine's surgery has just fucked up her mind. She has become more combative and hateful in the last year than I've seen her and all the prior years on this message board. It's a shame. She used to stay her views and still be a nice P. I'm sure those who agree with her think she still is but there's a whole lot of us now that simply do not like the person she's become. I too have become more entrenched in my ideas as I have gotten older and feel just as free to express my views as everyone else. And it's a message board. It's not my life. So if I don't feel like talking to you or responding to you anymore Elaine that's really just too bad. I do as I please not what you expect demand I do. Sometimes you are just not worth my time and so I walk away Some of you are far more ugly than you claim I am. Ouch, really? Posts like this make me fear you and have kept me off your threads for years. As I ask my kids, is this really who you are and how you want to be? ^^^apologies, my first handslap^^^ SaveSave

I think that question can be asked all around. I see many people here who don't care how they are coming across and who justify their behavior, so why are you pointing to me?
That is a rhetorical question. I'm not changing my posting style any more than anyone else on these threads is.

Mostly I find rainbow to be a very boring, and very bored, individual who thrives on any attention at all whether it's positive or negative. She's found that the latter is easier to get, so that's what she does. I put her on ignore when the board started because she writes in colored font which on the blue background is hard to see. I have wondered does she have to change the font every single time she writes? Seems like a lot of effort. I don't know if that's supposed to make her posts stand out, but it just reminds me of a kid writing in crayon and I can't take it seriously. annabella I don't have a blue background - unless you like it, maybe you can change it to white, to more easily read all threads. I don't remember hers coming up in colored font, either, but not sure since it's been several days since I remember seeing a post from her.

This thread is going to give me a panic attack if not a heart attack. It should give a lot of people an attack of conscience. I think I'll go watch Attack of the Killer Tomatoes or maybe a few episodes of When Animals Attack.

She is the sole reason I left the board for 2 years. You and Rainbow did a great job of being her biggest fans. I am not surprised you don't remember it, but I do as do many of my friends.

Someone's made it so that when the word a t t a c k is written it changes to "hug". It's actually pretty funny on this thread. I take back what I said about diffusing a thread. This was the funniest one I've seen. BRAVO!!!
