If if Plan A doesn't work, then we have a Plan B which will be trickier, potentially more time-consuming for Lily, and require my immediate involvement. There are many more aspects to not just OP's dilemma, but poor Lily's as well. But that is OP's story to tell, if she so chooses. I have let OP know that she has many supporters here, which came as a relief to her, because she was rather hurt at what she perceived were several attacks on her when she simply asked for help. To Jezebel Whatever: You are correct; I should have said I have been following for years this "site," not "thread"; and as for my date of officially joining: thank you for correcting my math. It has been a long year, and I was very busy when I took the time to type that response. So to be clear: I have been following this site since at least early 2009, and officially joined eight months ago, although I never posted until last week. In fact, to cheer up OP, I told her about stumbling across a thread I had missed one recent Saturday afternoon, and by 10:00 pm I was still reading it with my mouth hanging open. The back-stabbing! The melodrama! The threats! The misinterpreting of the law! The cast of characters! The "banned" that appeared next to every name who posted a differing opinion! The way the thread kept disappearing, and like a sleuth I had to track down its reappearance elsewhere! The horror and hilarity of it all! Anyway, she had a good laugh, and she certainly needed it. |
Just to be clear, nobody is banned for having a "differing" opinion. If that were the case, half of the heated debates that occur on YT would not occur...many among long time members who do not meet eye to eye on every issue...but of course since you've followed this site for "two years" you already know that. Members are banned for personally attacking other members, and NO ONE is exempt from that. You are simply
speculating by assuming these members were banned for having differing opinions. I would also like to add that your
conjecture is extremely offensive because you are implying that the moderators and the creator of this site have some sort of agenda or slant that they are trying to advance. The site would ultimately benefit from having more members not less, so to assume that those who disagree are not welcomed is silly. Here's a link to the rule and guidelines of this site which details why members are banned:
