Funny how if you tell someone off for talking about you here they accuse you of 'harassing' them

...but people are weird, and they'll be weird whether they are here or other places. I always thought telling people to mind their own business and to keep your name out of their mouth was simply sticking up for yourself, but nope, it's evidently 'harassment'. It's like I'm supposed to tell them *I* am sorry they stepped on my toes? Nope. Ain't happening. If you step on my toes, I'll jump on your head. And then yes, you can block me and then tell people it was because I was 'harassing' you. Weird how people want to talk trash until you talk it back to them.

There are certain personality's hanging on line that do that just to be noticed. I tend to ignore them. Responding to them seems what they want you to do. Ignoring them works for me. I just noticed your city and state, it sound familiar..I think I've been there...I think I slept in a laundry mat in Olney one rainy night when we were heading from NY to Kansas to go back to college, we got lost in the rain...back in the 60's....

@JolietJake You mean I could just hop on Hiway 50 East, outside my front door and come visit you and Scar?

We used to have a couple of 24-hour laundromats here, you must have been traveling highway U.S. 50. Pretty small town, probably about 8,000 back then.

There are those who have no idea what to write if they do not attack the others crying and complaining they have been harassed. They are not obliged to write or stay here.

Oh, they can stay here, I just find it hilarious when they say I am 'harassing' them, when my actions were a response to their actions.

Trying to be a bully. Not succeeding well at all. Not you, them, but they picked the wrong cat to pick on.

There are a handful here that cry 'Bully!' at me for speaking my mind. They can kiss my grits.

@JolietJake Yeah, I get to get away from all those goody two shoes. Funny could have swore I was the one preaching though.

I am not into conflict as it is deadly for the person I am conflicting with. So I avoid at all costs.

Yeah, I have experienced that kind of negative response when I told someone off for being a bully, but wasn't really accused of harassment. People really tend to be defensive when confronted with their flaws and faults.

Some people have a double-standard, they can do something that isn't really acceptable, but they think it unacceptable when you tell them about it.

@JolietJake Unfortunately, that is really true and there are a lot of people like that out there.

Yes ..You only want to share your points of view and they think bad about it It`s like you`re against them and must not say anything about it..just wondering! Then, why they even put a discussion about it when they don`t want to hear some different views?

Some people just can't take plain talkers who tell it as it is.

I don't know just what it is with some, its like they can write it and everyone can read it, but the one that they write about is supposed to be blind or something? I think that these people are very insecure and I go out of my way to stay out of their paths-no reason for me to fuel their fires is there? Now don't you trash talk me or I'll trash talk you and where will it ever end?

@JolietJake Okay, that's a deal, you talk trashy to me and maybe I'll talk trashy back at ya. It sure would make a lot of members wonder what's up wouldn't it?

When the shoe is on the other foot, they have to spin it to still be your fault.

Some people are just nasty. They will talk ill of you but when roles are reversed, they become victims and say how much life is unfair to them. Blowing other people's candles off never makes yours shine brighter.
