I Want to Know What Scares You the Most

Hello SW,
One of scariest things on SW is that it seems as though,'WE' as SW members no longer have the right to say what we want to say without being judged. How would you feel if the posts that you wrote venting would be used against you by another member? Used to intimidate and/or bully you?

What do we as members do when we encounter such individuals? How is this reported? I encountered something today that both worries me and pisses me off. This individual has his/her own issues from suicide to anger issues yet this individual tried to diagnose me and advise me of what I needed to do internally.

Do you have doctors on here that are unbeknown to us as members? If you do, can you please let me know so when I what to vent I can vent to the doctor rather than the site? Please advise.

Ya see, here's the problem with your threat:. First of all, nobody on here connects directly with each other. We all connect with a server somewhere in the world. That means you'd have to hack the server, and sort through literally millions of log entries assuming you can figure out which of the hundreds of log files you need to look in, and that's assuming you can get past the firewall that is protecting the server. Once you get inside the firewall, you're going to have to figure out which server to attack. Then you have to figure out which port you can get access through. Once you actually know what port you can get access through, you'll need to know what protocol will work on that port, and once you get that far, you'll need authentication credentials so that you can actually see anything. This is where you start looking for log files that will give you the information you need. The only problem with all of this is that it assumes that the people who built this site know nothing of Internet security, which it's pretty obvious to me as an IT professional, is simply not the case. Therefore your threat is completely baseless. Thanks for playing though...

Be advised, every story you post is done so on a public forum. Therefore when you do so, you're accepting the fact that someone is liable to have an opinion on your story. If you would prefer not to have people give their opinions, I would recommend not posting in said public forum.
@ChocolateSauce, it's fine. But for a future preventative, please do not post anything if you don't want someone's concern or opinions. It's fairly simple. Have a good life.
Doomsdaysmores · 41-45, M
Abuse is not ok, and there is a reporting process. If you have a razor blade to your wrists, I suggest you put it down and seek professional help. While I understand your concern, also understand that you can either have freedom to say what you want, or you can't. There really isn't any middle ground. If censorship happens, everyone is censored. At that point, you can no longer say what's on your mind. The system won't let you because it might offend someone. Is this what you want?
Doomsdaysmores · 41-45, M
The only thing that's awesome is the level of whine that this post subjects people to. It's really simple. If you don't want people to say things to you that you don't like, block them and move on. This world has gotten so ridiculous with people getting offended over stupid shit and then they get pissed when they can't say what they want. Empty threats that you have no capability to follow through on just make you look like an idiot.
@Doomsdaysmores, yep. A senseless war over nothing. It makes absolutely no sense.
[c=#BF0080]That's true.. but I'm not really sure I even get the point. 🤔[/c]
Doomsdaysmores · 41-45, M
Lmao this is plain hilarious. I'm not sure which part is more funny. The threat, which has less of a chance of coming to fruition than I do of winning the lottery in two consecutive drawings, or the person who keeps getting upset when someone, granted mostly unqualified to do so, attempts to help them, then claims to be going away, and then simply doesn't do so.

ChocolateSauce, I was only concerned about you. That is all. I posted a caring comment that offended you. You took it all out of content, became overly defensive and cursed at me.
Surprisingly, I tolerated it and never called you a disrespectful name. Why are you so angry at me for being kind to you? I am not bullying you at all. So please stop playing the victim. I'm truly a caring woman who tries to treat everyone fairly, inspite of my personal problems. But it's unfortunate that I didn't receive the same treatment. I've never told you that "no one wants you." And I would never insult or make fun of anyone woman who's struggling with self esteem issues because I've been there. As I said prior, I was only giving you the benefit of the doubt. You took it wrong and now you're claiming that I'm bullying and harassing you. As a member of SW, I have a right to reply to any post that I please and I certainly don't send rude, insulting replies to anyone.
What you're doing is fabricating the entire situation and painting an ugly picture of me. It's perfectly fine if you want to report me and make this bigger than what it is.

Doomsdaysmores,
My world revolves around me and to me I am the most important person in my life.
Doomsdaysmores · 41-45, M
It's like she doesn't even realize that the staff hasn't even seen her post. **NEWSFLASH** the world does not revolve around you. There are literally hundreds of posts on this site an hour, so unless you or someone else draws the attention of a staffer, your post will go unread by the staff. So you've simply drawn the attention of a whopping 44 members in 20 hours. This post isn't even a blip on the radar.
[c=#BF0080]All the SW doctors please stand up.. uhm not seeing anyone. 🙄[/c]
Doomsdaysmores · 41-45, M
Seriously though. Thanks for the laughs.

If you want sweetheart you can vent to me anytime you want through PMS and if it helps I would love to get to know you on a more personal level,I will not judge you at all I have alot of issues myself but then again who doesn't right but Doomsday does have a point if you tell a story in a public format you kind of have to deal with peoples opinions no matter how negative they may sound and I'm not sure exactly what was said but it could very well be that you misunderstood what was said, judging by sincerelyhers reply she didn't mean to be condesending I'm not trying to choose sides or anything ,so please don't misunderstand I'm just trying to help OK ,personally I like you your a great gal and a good person.
Doomsdaysmores · 41-45, M
Bye, Felicia
ChocolateSauce, I don't mean to keep interfering. But could you please just calm down and relax. It's no big deal. You do not have to run off because of a misunderstanding. I didn't mean any harm to you.
Doomsdaysmores · 41-45, M
As it should and you should. Unfortunately, the rest of us feel the same way about ourselves. You and your butthurt aren't sitting real high on anyone's priority list. Hell I'm here for the entertainment value.

SincerelyHer88,
Stop stalking me. Im sure that you have done this before. Who continues to follow someone and keeps posting where ever the other person goes? Other than a stalker or troll.

Let's be clear about something, I didnt exaggerate anything. I have talked to people who were ready to commit suicide.

Be mindful of what you say to anyone. Also SincerelyHer88,find someone else to be concerned about and follow. SW, you guys should be ashamed of your selves watching this unfold and doing nothing about.

Please remember this advice
If your not part of the solution you must be a part of the problem.
ChocolateSauce · 46-50, F
At this point none of this matters. I will find somewhere else to go.
ChocolateSauce · 46-50, F
So abuse is okay? Suppose I had that razor blade to my wrist and something far from an opinion is said and I wind up dead. Then my story winds up in the paper just like that woman who found a guy on EP to help assist her in a suicide. So how would that help SW publicly?

That just a question in a public forum.
ChocolateSauce · 46-50, F
It's exactly what it sounds like. For instance I'm not married or engaged. I was told to go fix myself that's why no one wants you. After reading your posts it seems like you have too many issues.

At this point it doesn't matter. Obviously, this site in nothing like EP.
ChocolateSauce · 46-50, F
SincerelyHer88,
Mind your business. Similiar Worlds you better do something about her or I will. I have the right to talk about myself and feel how ever I want to feel. Leave me alone.
Azuriela · 46-50, F
I'm not quite sure I understand what you mean by "posts that you wrote venting would be used against you by another member? Used to intimidate and/or bully you?"
ChocolateSauce · 46-50, F
SincerelyHer88,
Mind your business. When I address others you are to mind your business. I don't to wind up doing something that I regret. I.P. Addresses can be traced so you keep it up,
ChocolateSauce · 46-50, F
SincerelyHer88,
I can go where ever I please. I don't need mothering. Stay away from me and my postings. This is the last time that I will say it.
[c=#BF0080]Mike you had to have said something for someone to report it.. they're not going to give you a warning for nothing.[/c]
ChocolateSauce · 46-50, F
SincerelyHer88,
Their is no war. This exchange of words could have been done last night but you kept it going. So here we are.
SW-User
Any kind of harassment of another member is unacceptable and should never be tolerated.
ChocolateSauce · 46-50, F
Doomsdaysmores,

It doesnt matter if only a short amount of people read what I had to say. My point is my point.
ChocolateSauce · 46-50, F
Doomsdaysmores,
My world revolves around me and to me I am the most important person in my life.
