You can call me out but that doest mean I'll respond. Its the weekend. I'm not about to spend hours upon hours having useless dialogue about what people think about me and what I think about then. You all hate me and I think a large number of you voted for 45 and basically ruined the world. Luckily there is room enough around here for the both of us. IGNORE ME. You won't get any further engagement from me outside of that. I've already explained why I like old comments in threads. Up until very recently I had no idea people received notifications when I've liked certain comments they've made. I do so for my ease of use so that I can easily direct non-peas to specific threads. This is a public message board. No one is compiling a spreadsheet. Get over yourself Ah...but you did respond. And she admitted to and denied in the same paragraph that she was tracking peas! She's not tracking them, just liking them so she can more easily pull them out to show NON-peas the threads (same as tracking/compiling...) Take responsibility for your own hatefulness Olan, you're quick to blame anyone else. I'm confused...I didn't vote for 45, so I think I'm clear on the ruining the world thing, amiright? |

I'm a tier 7 but here's my take... Your thread title is offensive to those who don't appreciate the f word. Not me, but I try to be aware that cursing isn't for everyone. I've been around a long, long time and I know that Olan particularly dislikes it and I'm thinking maybe you used it to get to her. Your overuse of the exclamation point showed that you are very upset. You asked her to not like your posts, she did, you're mad. Get over it. I can't believe I typed that... Can you recognize how silly it all is? Although Olan's delivery is aggressive and offensive, I have attempted to sift through that to hear her. She has an important message and she's given me things to think about. Olan has been here for years. She's had her ups and downs like the rest of us. She's passionate about certain issues and I think we need to listen. She's infuriated me but has made me think, and that's always good, that's one reason I come here. Your right, inside her aggressiveness she does have points that I needed and wanted to hear. And there are things she has made me think about. Maybe that's why she's here as opposed to reddit - she hasn't deemed us hopeless yet? BUT, once thinking about those things in Olan's messages, it's nearly impossible to have a conversation. Once you've thought about her point, you can not ask questions for the sake of clarification or anything else because it's not on her agenda. I have learned so much 'discussing' things with our many varied peas. I've even changed my mind a time or two. |

So, dare we not like peoples posts now in case we come over as a crazy bitch who's stalking behaviour deserves a call out thread? IMHO we can treat this issue in the same way I treat general nastiness, overheard slights, criticism which gets back to us and so forth. Context and source is all, so 99.9% of likes are just that. |

This thread title makes me feel a bit deceived. I like to know what I am opening at least somewhat. If it said, "Calling out Olan" I would have scrolled by.
I see the wink but after the fact and after seeing a bit of the content.
I know I can still scroll by but I'm just saying I prefer the thread title to clue me in to what the thread is actually about, and it is definitely NOT about Olan being the sweetest pea.  |

I must have missed everything including the original thread title because it's already 3 pages when I'm seeing it. That's why I posted what I did. I really didn't read anything but the OP. I'm only back now because I got a notice that you quoted me!

funny thing - for you to write down olan - i didn't vote for him either So, dare we not like peoples posts now in case we come over as a crazy bitch who's stalking behaviour deserves a call out thread? No one has said anything to me yet, and I like an awful lot of posts. So do I, just wondering why one person is being singled out as a crazy bitch if liking posts is all she's doing? it's not the same thing - and i suspect you already knew that olan and i 'ruffle each other's feathers' she constantly is searching thru my post history and 'liking' posts it's not the same thing as liking random, recent posts she digs back months and, sometimes, years ago this is the behavior zookeeper is upset with she's keeping notes, to use as ammo, in some later strike it's weird, and a bit obsessive olan isn't liking advice given, recipes shared or cute stories - she's hunting for bullets but - you already knew that gina |

Some key words to take from Olan's response here. TO DIRECT NON PEAS TO SPECIFIC THREADS Olan is showing our site to non peas who then target us off site.

Really? Olan may be direct and even inflammatory, but her position as a black woman is not yours (general yours) to argue against. Until you have lived in her shoes, I don't understand why her view and reality should be argued against. She feels the way she feels, because she lives it. And to get all pissy about her 'liking' posts is just ... weird. Olan I hope you continue to share your views. It's a kick in the pants for this white girl who thinks she's not a racist and/or often thinks life can be all kumbayah. |

You have a point, particularly if you have not been on the board this week or have not opened some of olan's threads or the ones she bumped. I read them (some of them) but I am in a different time zone. From what I glean on this thread the OP must have originally posted a much sharper title and has since changed it on advice. ETA: explained already, but since you will have received another quote notification, I will not delete  |

Allegedly is an important word to know. SaveAllegedly is not a word in the pea vocabulary. As a pea from the legal profession, I couldn't agree with you more. However it was olan herself who posted that the like function is her way of being able to go back and find a post when she needs to review what she considers less than satisfactory pea responses and as her main topic is racism, I think this is a reasonable conclusion. |

I haven't had any problems with olan but this just bugs me. I don't understand people that get so involved in a message board that they feel the need to track who has said what in order to bring it up at a later date. |

Well, I'll go on the record and say that I think both parties are in the wrong here to some degree. I don't believe that anyone has the right to police who can post where, or who can like what. What you can do is block the members that you don't want to interact with in some way. If you don't want to know when they like your posts or quote you, use the block function and choose "Block notifications from this member". zookeeperIf you don't want to see their posts use the block function and choose "Hide this member's posts". Blocking isn't irreversible, you can still click on a button on each individual post to read it, it just becomes an intentional choice. OlanIf the block function isn't working properly, please provide me with details. I know that the "Block this member's threads" option is spotty, because it is implemented in a different way to the rest, but the others should work reliably and if not I need to take it up with Proboards so they can fix it. If this happens to you, please send me screenshots of your block settings and the notifications/posts that you're seeing when you shouldn't. If you've done all those things and you're still being subjected to behaviour that you feel reaches the level of harassment, then of course you should report it to me and I will review carefully to decide if action is needed. Where I'm less sympathetic is when individuals want me to intervene but aren't themselves prepared to use the tools available to them. |

I agree with Cindy.
How is marking someone's posts to use against them in the future and to share outside of this group (Olan's own words) worse than complaining about her doing it? She isn't sharing them so that Zookeeper (or any of the rest of us) can be invited for tea.
All that disabling notifications does is make you unaware that it's happening.
You say both are at fault but you are only telling Zookeeper what she has to do to essentially not be aware that it's happening.
Olan is in the wrong here. She's taking what we say and sharing it outside of this group for the sole purpose of causing trouble. There's no doubt that if that continues, at some point we will have an influx of people coming in to cause problems just like when the pit bull owners or the WW members did.

Maybe I'm not understanding what the problem is, but this sounds like the equivalent of teacher, she's looking at me. How is it a problem if someone likes your posts? Even several? Olan asked to be called out. She admits that she likes posts because she is looking for posts that she believes are racist. For some people, that is extremely offensive and off-putting. I can totally see being annoyed by it (although since she things I am a huge racist, she apparently doesn't feel the need to like anything I say) Let me narrow it down for you guys. If you're white and a conservative, you're a racist. If you're white and liberal, you're a closet racist. I've been called a racist for 9 years now since I didn't (don't) like Obama, I've gotten used to it. You all are new at this. The most important parts to remember are: - Olan is an extremist. - Who gives a fuck what strangers thing. |

But I also posted a long response to her, with specific questions and without attacking her, to try and foster some actual dialogue, and she ignored it (but still posted on this thread). Her right to do so, of course, but it's hard to learn anything without real conversation. Maybe she'll revisit it after the weekend. |

Can you clarify what you mean by an "influx of people"? If pit bull owners came to defend pitbulls, are you talking about her bringing black women to defend themselves? Because as a black woman who has started more than once I'm feeling more and more unwelcome on this board, I'm seriously hoping you mean this differently than I am taking it  |
