So I am slightly annoyed tonight. Person from the other day is back on again acting like nothing happened. I wish that the whole sorry saga had been left up for everyone to take their own conclusions from. Instead it has been sanitised and wiped from history. I have a feeling I may even be reprimanded for writing this despite the fact I will mention no names in this post. This wasn't a thread I followed. I merely noticed it on the activity stream on Friday night and Saturday morning when I was up early trying to fit some extra hours of work in. The dispute was between 2 other people..not me. However I was uneasy watching it unfold..name calling etc.. and it got to the point where I said something. My crime was to point out that a point that was vehemently denied by the thread "owner" was in fact true according to their own food diary. I said I wasn't taking sides but that it was unfair to mock someone for pointing out something that was true. So instead of doing what I would have done, if I realised I had made a mistake and saying "oops my bad"...they chose to insult my intelligence and swear at me. Ban me from their thread and say that anonymous people who swoop in and abuse them weren't welcome. Apparently we should all have a food diary, have it open to the public and give our full name and shoe size to be on minis! It wasn't just me they turned on...anyone who didn't agree with them wasn't welcome. Why am I annoyed? I believed minis had a zero tolerance policy for this kind of thing. Today it is like it never happened. The poster who swore at me has their reputation intact, whiter that white and smelling of roses and if someone didn't witness it they are none the wiser. Did I receive an apology?...of course I didn't. Some people are right even when they are wrong. I am the first to admit we can all lose our cool and say things we shouldn't...but would I swear at and belittle a stranger on the internet?...erm...NO. I think it says more about them than me that they had to resort to profanity. And I am not bringing this up to be vindictive or malicious....it is because I feel disappointed at the way it was dealt with. I'm not some delicate flower that has never been sworn at before!
There is no point in me dwelling on it as I have no say in it, it's gone, it no longer exists (well...apart from my screenshots! ).. so life goes on
I think I'll stick to this section alone from now on!!
