So, here is the flame that begins it all. For those who might be curious about the personalities involved, I've also included a link to what appears to be this Shemah's homepage (this Shemah is in the right location, has the right hobbies, background ...), I'll change the link, of course, if it turns out that there was a second Wiccan Shemah who was living in Albuquerque at the time who called herself "EarthAngel", had a daughter named Christina, was learning ceramics, and ... well, you get the idea. Now ask yourself - if you posted a joke, and were immediately ganged up on by a group of people getting abusive in response - just how friendly would you be feeling? Raven doesn't seem to be the only one in the group with a chip on her shoulder, does she? Does Shemah seem to have even bothered to read the punch line in the last sentence of Raven's very short post, before reacting? Yet try to find someone who offers her more than mild criticism over her behavior, here, which can only be termed "trolling". This, over a joke. By itself, no big deal, probably. But the fact that she gets supported in her uptight reaction isn't going to rub anyone the right way. The pattern we see here will be continued - tit for tat for tit, with the group thinking that it can claim victim status because, well because ... because it says so, d**n it, and don't you dare question that. Hrrmph. So there. (Whatever, guys). Aside ... In case you were curious, here, apparently, is Shemah's homepage : (older editions at old location) |
