Random Question...how far must it go?

Now some unsolicited advice, GIMR and others. You need to learn the fine art of ignoring. There are certain posters on this board (and other boards) who I ignore on a regular basis. No one on this board pays your bills, does your job, cleans your house or raises your kids. In the grand scheme no one on this board really matters in your life.

There are folks on any board who throw out what I call "hooks" that are intended to push your buttons. They want the interaction with you but just why they do, I don't know and I don't care to guess.

Why let a stranger push your buttons?

GIMR wrote:Book of Mormon, I'm sorry dear, but I feel it to be the best. Because the picture I see is that when I reveal something about myself in hopes to create perhaps a bit of community, and show that you can suffer and still not hurt other people, that's more often than not seen (at least on here) as me looking for a spotlight. But when someone comes in and just shouts "f*ck and disrespect to all Mormons and people of religion, let's just crap on their dignity", that's somehow ok...that person has suffered, just let them get it out, they're coping.

LOL!

I am sitting in a beautiful house in a beautiful neighborhood. The furnishings are expensive, and I am relatively safe where I am. But I'm also sitting here counting every penny that I can find, LITERALLY (and I have $4.35), trying to figure out how I'm going to get to work for my first week back at a real job. It costs $40 a week, and I only have about $16 on my SmarTrip card. I'm kind of screwed. All the people that I have asked for help have refused me, and those same people I've often gone out on a limb for. I'm also looking for things that I've purchased in this last week that I don't need (like socks) to take back to Wal-Mart to exchange for food, because I don't have any. My mom gets to eat lovely things like fruit, she gets nutritious meals, and will even eat what I buy...but will purposefully only buy enough for herself, or cook what I'm allergic to (fish).

A supposed friend pulled me out of the house yesterday to offset the fact that her boyfriend went somewhere where she wasn't invited. Mind you, like I posted yesterday, I wasn't feeling well. My migraine meds make me want to pass out, but it's either pain I can't endure, a high ER bill, or this stuff. I choose the latter and hope that I make it through the day. This girl wanted me to sit with her so she wouldn't be lonely, yet let me go the whole evening with nothing to eat (she went to Chipotle, but knew I had but a few dollars and couldn't eat, and later sat and ate ice cream in front of me...she was so selfish, just wanting to not be alone, that she forgot about hospitality...yet she'll be wondering why I won't come back to her place...WHERE THE HELL IS PEOPLE'S COMMON SENSE?).

I'm praying that I won't get another migraine before the end of this week, because I'll seriously pass out somewhere between work and home...and I can't afford that.

Should I be hateful knowing that I've at times given all that I had out of love, and now that I'm in need, all my friends and family with nice cars, and enough to go to Starbucks, can't spare ten bucks to help me? I could be. I have more of a reason to be a flaming b*tch than Jercury, but I'm not going that route. Something will come up, I'll make it somehow.

Lashing out hurts others, it causes emotional whiplash to the person who is dealing it out. Yes, I'm pissed. I'm sick, scared, worried...but determined. And I'm no goddamn superheroine. I'm just a person. That's the point. You can be a regular person with huge problems, and not set out to hurt other people. Why I learned the lesson at 14, and this person is a grown man with a wife and kids and he can't get it is beyond me. Whatever. I don't have the stomach to watch people be abused because the abuser was abused. That's pussy-like. I'll call it what it is.

Book of Mormon, I sent you my email. Please keep in touch, as I do want to know how you're doing. To the sane here, have fun, apparently there's something really gratifying about watching someone justify their behavior with past pain. I have no patience for that.

GIMR, sounds like a tough week. I'm sorry!

I will keep in touch. I too want to know how you're doing!

Well, if that's how it went down, then I'd certainly 'react' too. I'm wondering about the 'unprovoked' part though...!
I was almost about to ask to see all this in context, but I've thought better of it.

*moving on*

In the past when I have stood up for reason I was attacked rather virulently by GIMR. I do not see the same love and peace you see.

She is a typical christian.

And in what way are you being typical? Do you read what you wrote? Psychiatric meds? WHY?!?!?!

Use your reason, that I'm acutely aware you have in volumes, to debate/talk with GIMR. Why must it come down to insults and slurs?

PLEASE you two kiss and make up!

At this point insult is the only constructive act that I can participate in. GIMR does not come here to debate. She comes here to push others around and garner sympathy for her unfortunate situation.

In the past her and I have gotten into it. I stated that there is no god nor evidence of god. She says that im crazy and then the christians dogpiled on me for calling b***s***. Frankly im tired. Maybe if I whined and said that im leaving if the attacks against me stopped then things would change but im not going to because I don't use emotional bullying tactics.
