The Lodestone Allows People To Stalk

[Powe]

You sure we looked at the same link? Because my attempt at an "earnest conversation" with her led to some weird hate speech about feminism/women, being called "snarky" for not taking her abuse and false ERP accusations lying down, and then being blocked and kicked from her linkshell and Discord a moment before my friend, who had done nothing, was then also kicked simply for associating with me, only for her to have her friend share my RL photo and for her to threaten to call the police on me if I continued telling the truth, and then to continue to misrepresent the situation to everyone she meets and play the victim. That is what an attempt at "earnest conversation" with her got me.

well the police wont do anything to you unless theres prove of actual malicious intent and stuff. Personally i would just ignore it, and tell people in advance that this might come up if you get a new fc or LS or something.

Well, I'm glad both of us find your shameless backpedaling on being called out on your untruths equally amusing.

Untruths? That I didn't know the people or persons who were doing this and therefore knowing them isn't going to be a factor? I have two legacy accounts and 16 characters on Balmung; I could've used any of them other than this one. Val'Nunh and I are having a very good discussion here. I respect him. But what are you trying to do? You're ignoring the issue and just trying to attack. Why?

Because I don't believe your bs? You called someone who you didn't know 'outright scum' or some other pathetic insult I can't be asked to go back and look at. You do know the OP, and no amount of dopey stories about how much of a 'nice guy' you are will change my mind.

If you actually practiced what you preached in this thread before you were called out, AKA not being just as biased and judgmental as you accuse other people, maybe I'd drink the koolaid.

Oh, I'm not worried about the police. I haven't threatened her in the slightest, doxxed her, "hacked" her, or anything of the like. If anything, I'm more worried she'll get herself in trouble if she ever does actually contact the authorities, but maybe that's a wake up call she needs.

We need to be the change we preach. Everything has gotten out of hand, as I'm sure you'll agree.

If they're being whispered, block 'em and move on. As you mentioned, things tend to take time to heal if they will. However, going around and making posts and asking for people to pity them will just make it worse. Not only does it show that they haven't changed or taken steps to try to change, it just proves that the other person was right.

Yes. And I was referring (or perhaps it was in a post after that?) to others who have not, and the fact that continued harassment by others players does not allow for one to change. Or give them the chance to. If they do, people won't even notice in their yelling.

She said some stuff to you that you did not like. You feel she wronged you. It would've ended with her being the bad party. But for as long as this has been going on? I typically just drop things the day off. I try to be nice to everyone I meet, or even after a heated discussion. Of which I am thankful that you're spending the time and effort writing your case and respect you for that, at the very least.

There's nothing the police could do in this case. If someone was actually searching for her IRL or trying to spread her personal information around with malicious intent, then yeah. As it stands, nothing illegal is being done and I'm sure she would be the one in trouble should she bother the police with something like "the people on the internet are being mean to me."

I don't mean for that to sound as funny as it does, but... well. It's kind of what the claim would be.

If you reread it, I said any who did it was. And then I quoted myself from a time before D-chan spoke. You could say semantics or being politically correct, but that's the size of it. Though I also said, various times throughout this post, that it would be my first impression and that I don't let that carry on or negate me from learning about people. Also, I said that I was sure that she was a nice person in real life.

I'm not sure you even read my posts. Are you just spouting rhetoric at this point?

While I agree with some of your statement, I far believe it best to let others know how this person has a storied history of causing problems. If it was just a one-off thing where people didn't get along? Sure. But if the person has a history of this exact same behavior? Something probably needs to be done.

You can claim that harassment is a "differing opinion" or "stuff I did not like" as much as you want, but harassment isn't trivial and I won't minimize as much as you can try (and fail) to. How do you know that the others didn't try to talk to her? Why should they bother when there are is already evidence of how she has responded to me and others who have tried to speak with her civilly? If she truly is receiving harassing /tells (which are definitely not coming from me, my friends, or anyone else around me to my knowledge), all she needs to do is report and blacklist. This is Balmung, after all. The same people can't keep making new characters to harass her here without paying out the butt for server transfers and waiting on them.
