I don't want to be where I am right now, I have three different people coming to me with problems that they themselves created and can easily solve, I have two blogs that should have been written days ago, several potential It's Pop articles to do, and I still have to change my cousin's donation page to take down the info about the benefit since it was over two weeks ago. So... this rant comes off very bitchy and holier than thou, but I stand by the basic meaning.
Okay, so here’s the thing. I’ve done my fair share of talking shit about people. I really only do it now about one person, but I will also do it right to their face (figuratively, of course) so it’s not like I’m just talking behind their back. And for the record, it's probably not the person you think it is.
But when someone goes out of their way to harass or spread personal stuff about someone…Really? How old are we? Honestly. Yes, that person screwed up by putting things out there, but you’re the creeper who later continued to spread it around, even saving the information so you could disseminate it again. That disgusting, pathetic, and juvenile, and it's just so, so obnoxious. Once again, how old are we?
Honestly, I never thought anything would make me want to leave this game, given the time, energy, and money I've spent cultivating my characters, not to mention the other players whose characters would be affected, but in the last week or so I briefly considered it twice. I’ve been part of several RP communities, even an admin of one, and I’ve made a lot of good friends along the way. But I have never seen players as insufferable and manipulative and flat out villainous as some here. Knowing what I know about some people? Ugh. I realizes this is all blurring that IC/OOC line. I wouldn't be able to RP with them, just knowing how disappointing of a human being they'e shown themselves to be. Doesn't matter how interesting their characters are. There's having a bitchy day/moment, and then there's just being a bitch. I don't tolerate the latter very well. I won't apologize for that.
In somewhat unrelated news, there are players in this game that I treat like family, like little brothers and sisters. I'll complain about them, I'll call them a pain in the ass, but I will fight like hell if someone else fucks with them beyond the scope of the game.
I now return you to your regularly scheduled Popmundoing.
