EagleMoon Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 I've been reading this thread and trying to decide what I wanted to say. I would agree that between a lot of the members there is a camaraderie and for the most part they stick up for each other. But now and then people will show up here and throw a wrench in the works. It has surprised me more than once that more people don't stick up for someone who is getting bullied. They say things like grow a thicker skin or get over it or something similar. But also it's sometimes hard to distinguish what someone really means when it's only text and you can't see their facial exp<b></b>ressions or hear the way they say it. If I knew Segue was getting picked on real bad, I would have stuck up for him. I had no clue anything was going on and where on the board it happened :( I didn't know anything was going on either but then I haven't been here that much in the last couple of weeks. I figured you got sick of the place and were taking a break. I noticed you weren't around a lot but I always remind myself that people have a life outside of this forum. We did have company visiting from out of state for a few days but it just seemed like there wasn't much going on here since the tour ended.Plenty going on in SOCN. I wouldn't know. I've never gained access to that section of the forum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I knew Segue was getting picked on real bad, I would have stuck up for him. I had no clue anything was going on and where on the board it happened :(Segue has established this bigger than life persona on TRF, which brings a lot of fun and silliness to the place. The downside is that he doesn't always know when to tone it down. I'm guessing the situation might have something to do with Music of the Spheres, but that's neither here nor there. This is the Net, and there are times when things get heated, when one person is trying to send a message and the other person doesn't get it, so one person makes things clear in no certain terms. My recent exchange with Lucas comes to mind, when he was posting politically-charged material outside of SOCN and more subtle requests to take the conversation there went unheeded, and I unloaded on him. In Segue's case, it might have been that some of his infamous spamming was unwanted in a particular thread and he didn't pick up on hints to tone it down, so people let fly. Just speculating here. Goose, with all due respect to Segue (my fellow Bruce fan), I think you just summed it up perfectly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted September 5, 2015 Author Share Posted September 5, 2015 I don't know how to be a bystander here and do like others. Just pop in, post in the spam section, wish an occasional HB or HA or whatever, vote occasionally in a poll, and go back to playing their online games. But I think they have the right idea. I can't do it though. I've never been good at being on the edge of something. I'm either in or out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted September 5, 2015 Author Share Posted September 5, 2015 For some reason, these Moodies' lyrics just popped into my head. They seem appropriate here. After everything that happened yesterday (not only online but in pms as well), I won't be the same again on TRF. :musicnote: We're living in a land of make-believeAnd trying not to let it showMaybe in this land of make-believeHeartaches can turn into joy :musicnote: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted September 5, 2015 Author Share Posted September 5, 2015 (edited) Some memorable birthdays being celebrated. Satchmo and Bathory. Bathory leaves his teens behind forever today. He turned twenty. Poor kid. We should all stay nineteen forever. ;) An Enemy Without turned 103 today. And Goobietoobie made one post and forever left TRF three years ago ago. Happy 3rd to him!
