	What a drama queen creepoid. Scarier still are the folks being sympathetic to him early on. Shudder. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	There's people in there encouraging him /still/. Calling him compassionate, even. That scares me more than anything. (Reply to this)(Parent)

With a friend like this, who needs ~~rapists~~ enemies?

Wah. Right before Cleo pointed me here I was complaining that I felt so bored. Please, let me be bored again.

Probably it's something one get used too after a while, but it has been a good while since I looked at the Gaia boards and I found it a world of creepy to read this whole mess in the bubbles of teh cute Gaia avatars.

To be fair, I give the OP a star because he has the sense to ask for feedback about his meddling. That's something to begin with. That said, what a whiny, self righteous, insensitive sod! Center of the universe much?

I think I like the Mette person. A lot.

	Mette's awesome. Yeah, he gets a shiny star, but some of the people replying in that thread need to be hit with sticks. 'Caring and compassionate' my ass. More like 'self absorbed and controlling'. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I guess it's fine, maybe even wise to tell him how he's a great guy while they shove him in the right direction. But there are a few who just pat him on the shoulder and conveniently forget about the kick in the ass bit he needs so badly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Before I left Gaia, there were people who would scold you if you tried to give people a kick in the ass. Which was frustrating, because the impulse the beat in the heads of everyone at Gaia is hard to control (And trying to argue with people at Gaia also deserves several boots to the head, so it's a vicious cycle).

	True that. I don't know what it is about the site, but an extremely high concentration of self-absorbed people are attracted to it. I'm probably one of them, but...ick. Worse, most people are enablers--they encourage the stupid shit that people do. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	The posts that disturbed me the most were the ones that were like, "You're so sweet! But you shouldn't blackmail her!" shudders (Reply to this)(Parent)

Hey! You weren't supposed to read that! :P
flushes, tries to cover the post with hands

Your comments just felt like a unforeseen bank of reason in the angry sea of Gaianess.

And perhaps I am not in such a good position to point at crybabies, because in case of doubt woe is me. But it was so shabby how that person exploited his friends harm. If he needs some angst to play with he shall kindly get drunk with the wrong people himself.

On a side-note, some of your art looks like I-know-my-mind. Coming across as determined whilst you paint cute and colorful stuff, that's an accomplishment. :)

	grins And thanks. He really wanted sympathy and pat on the back. "Look at me! I'm so caring and wonderful! Tell me that I'm doing the right thing!" Glad you like my art! ^_^ I prefer anime, but I draw realism and dark stuff as well! (Reply to this)(Parent)

	You know, i really get this vibe that his reasons for doing this aren't because he feels the guy who raped her (if it did happen) should go to jail. It's because some bastard took something he felt was meant for him (the girl's virginity). His quoted post just felt obsessive to the nth degree. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	uriel 2004-05-07 02:03 pm UTC (link)
	That's the vibe I got as well. He felt more sorry for himself, and gods forbid that I said that! rolls eyes When you've met some control freaks, you know how to recognize them. He was just writing about his feelings, not her. And don't even get me started on his angsty poetry! (Reply to this)(Parent)
