Before gearing yourself up to pull a its either me or its them sort of move, either very directly or in a more passive aggressive way by always pushing their buttons and acting so hostile toward them, tattling on them every time they do something you don't like while reminding everyone of all the wonderful things you have done for them, until it ( Read more... )

Of this, I am not sure (as much as I appreciate the political strides that YSEE have made in Hellas, I don't visit that forum much, and I'm not even signed up on there), but it really would not surprise me if this was only a short way off -- his attitude displayed last I saw of the YSEE forum sure as hell seemed headed in that direction ( ... )

"Wow. Is he really doing the whole "you can't be friends with me if you're friends with them" thing? How old is he? I thought most people outgrew that shit in grade school. "

Honestly I think that's what most pagan drama is: just people who want to be Important and Popular and Special, probably because they weren't in high school.

This particular bout thought is the worse drama I have seen since coming to the community several years ago. I hope thus huge backlash against the instigators finally bury them.

See, I wasn't popular in high school, and I all but revelled in it -- and I still do. I thought the popular kids were idiots, and the kids making them popular were bigger idiots. It's not that flattering to me to have a big giant idiot thinking I'm "cool".

The drama really does seem to be waning at the moment.

...and at this point, I'm sure you've heard about the accident with the Hellenistai forum getting wiped out, and I would be more than happy to have you sign back up again. :) I liked your posts.

Thanks. :-) I'll reregister but can't promise how active I'll be. I'm trying to cut down on the internet commitments, especially with all the BS that's going around these days.

In my experience, that's a crucial difference - the kids who were unpopular and wanted desperately to be popular are still striving for that subconsciously (and it's very sad), whereas those of us who were just fine being outcasts and never liked those popular kids anyway are reasonably well-adjusted.

This. Very much so.

Yet in high school, we were often the ones sent to shrinks.... (no offence if you weren't) Seems a pattern would have been established by now for the people in child care.

erl_queen August 12 2009, 20:29:36 UTC

I did see a shrink, but voluntarily, and because I actually had legitimate clinical depression. But that had little to do with my popularity status. I did, however, get constant flak from teachers who didn't understand me, who said I was "too macabre", who told other kids not to sit with me because I'd be a "bad influence" (yes, really), and who especially hated me because they couldn't deny that I was smart and talented too. Fortunately, I also had wonderful teachers who could see my potential, otherwise I would have really floundered in school.

The school psychologist once said of me "bright, witty, articulate and highly intelligent; might become a threat to the government if they had the ambition". I took that as a point of pride. I had a few good teachers, but most didn't seem to know what to make of me.

If most people really do grow up out of high school, I've not seen a lot of evidence of it. The exclusive cliques, ostracizing people not cool enough, jockeying to be liked and accepted, just continues on.

They really are the worst things that have happened to this community. Drama involving the two of them is always ten thousand times worse than any other drama that's ever happened period. They're professional trolls, they have no other lives, no spiritual lives that anyone can find and seemingly no real investment in this community. They don't care what they do, what damage they cause.

You read the latest YSEE forum drama, doesn't it kind of sound that way to you? This is the second time now he's run and tattled to YSEE about something they've done he doesn't like. Most of that thread (and a good bit of the first one, too) is him detailing all the wrong he thinks they've done while reminding the forum about all the good work he's done on their behalf, he's defending the organization they are misrepresenting it. Tim's latest essay mentions Lesley quite a few times, very carefully emphasizing that she is South African as though her country of origin should somehow invalidate her opinions (oh and by the way, ethnic Greeks, she really isn't one of you ( ... )
