I actually didn't put words in mags mouth. Mags responded to me at least three times in that stupid vaccine thread without saying that my understanding of what she was saying was wrong. The only thing mags has ever corrected me on was that she is not actively trying to encourage others to do the same thing she does. If mags feels differently she had multiple opportunities to correct me and she didn't. You tried to come in light her knight in shining armor and get involved in something that had nothing to do with you. I had made the comment on FB assuming mags would see it, would come in, would have yet another opportunity to tell me I misunderstood her and we'd move on. Instead, you got yourself in the middle of something that had nothing to do with you so yes, I told you to fuck off and wasn't nice.
Mags didn't correct you because she didn't owe you an explanation. Funny how you accused Spindle of putting words in your mouth, but you DID the exact same thing to me. I think you used the word "implied." I would not give you the satisfaction of giving you anything after you came in here guns blazing.
You knew very well I wasn't part of the FB page, so how would I see it?
I'm glad I had a friend who defended me. She had my back because she knew I wouldn't see it. I would hope your friends would do the same for you if they heard people talking shit behind your back.
She knew and understood what I meant and tried to tell you one more time. That's what good friends do for each other.I certainly wasn't going to keep the conversation going with you because you insisted you knew what I meant.
I don't think anyone called you names, or cursed at you. I think you started that ball rolling, and I still haven't seen anyone one use derogatory names directed at you. You didn't just tell her to fuck off, you got hit below the belt with the cheerleading thing. There is a big difference and you know it.
I knew you were asking to come in and I had no intention of actually stopping you from being let in and I'm being completely honest when I say I very much expected you would see it and it would give an opportunity to clear shit up. I did and still do find the way you framed your statement in the vaccine thread problematic regardless of what your thoughts are and I certainly wasn't going to change my thinking on that based on someone else defending something you chose not to. I most definitely do have friends that will defend me, I just don't ask or expect them to because I handle my own shit.
I never at any point claimed to know what your intent was in the vaccine thread, I just claimed that you hadn't defended yourself and it was clear what my assumption was and that until you corrected it, not a damn thing was going to change that assumption.
I've said a number of times the cheerleader comment was out of line. I'm not sure what else I'm supposed to say.
So you picked on spindle92 to get to mags when mags wasn't even part of the group? I mean come on. You can be sorry you said something $hitty, but it doesn't excuse the behavior. And to continue to personally attack spindle92 is $hitty and immature.

Well, I certainly can handle my own shit as well, but I wasn't part of the group so I could not do it myself. So, I thank her for being a good friend. Then she gets shit from you? A fuck off would have been sufficient. I'm glad you said you were wrong about the comment, but you have to understand that I'm sure it still hurts her and then you come in swinging again?
I hope now all is cleared up...you said you were sorry to Spindle for the cheerleader thing, you know I didn't mean that the flu shot gives you the flu, and that there is a right an wrong way to go about things calling her a little shit certainly didn't go in your favor today. I hope you can apologize to her for that too.
Then I hope that FLUgate ends and we can all go on our merry way.
Correct, but there are plenty of jobs out there that WILL pay you for every hour you work. I can't tell you how many stores, restaurants, etc. that I frequent that have help wanted signs. No one is saying that you HAVE to take a job that won't pay. It boils down to choice.
Should I start telling my boss I want 4 million dollars a year because that is what Joe Star basketball player makes? Or should non-profits go out of "business" because they have to start paying their volunteers?
LOL so because there are help wanted signs around you, no one is having trouble getting work? That's why the unemployment rate is 0? Oh wait, no, it's not because it's not as simple as if you want a paying job just find one that pays. That's not exactly how it works. It is not that easy for everyone and just because you feel it would be easy for you does not mean that every single other person out there has your same life experience. Legally, an employee is entitled to a minimum compensation, that doesn't mean they want 4 million dollars and it is fucking disgusting to suggest that people who expect to be paid minimum wage for hours worked is asking for 4 million because someone else got it.
So, to be clear, you have issues with any company that uses any type of volunteer? Because those volunteers are taking work away from someone who could be getting paid
So you picked on spindle92 to get to mags when mags wasn't even part of the group? I mean come on. You can be sorry you said something $hitty, but it doesn't excuse the behavior. And to continue to personally attack spindle92 is $hitty and immature.
Spindle inserted herself into shit that had nothing to do with her and got attacked by me because of it. I wasn't picking on spindle to get to mags. Seriously, what are you talking about?
If spindle wants to stop tossing daggers in my direction I will have no reason to toss them into hers, it's as simple as that, but if she wants to make a jab in this thread she should know from experience that I'm likely not going to treat it with kid gloves when I see it

No, a volunteer position is just that, a volunteer position. Legally, volunteer positions are something specific to non-profts. You can not volunteer for a for profit company, you can volunteer for a non profit.

Sometimes people make light of a subject to show they are over it/it's water under the bridge. It's not necessarily a "jab" at anyone. Why so serious pinksquirrel?
I have one question about Flugate. Even if mags believes the flu shot can give you the flu, why do you take it so personal? You can't know/be friends with people who have different or opposing views then your own? We have to agree with you at all times or else you will attack us? Calling us names?

I've barely had service today and haven't wanted to wade back into this when I can barely get on to post, but this is ridiculous. I took spindle's comment as a tongue-in-cheek thing. I think there was a gross overreaction and I'm frankly sickened by the leven of vitriol I saw. I've said before that I don't want to be part of a group that treats each other that way and I'm glad that, for the most part, people here are encouraging more respectful communication.
Yes, I'm sure that is a watertight litmus test for friendship.
In my book it is. When someone attacks a friend and calls them names and you say nothing and ignore it, it sure says a whole lot. Of course that is just my opinion. And I'm sure if you ever got verbally attacked you would want some one to do the same, but I could be wrong.

This thread is madness. It would make more sense if someone had deleted 2-3 pages of responses. As far as I understand, a couple of days ago mags posted an interesting article that spindle had some special insight to. Spindle responded to mags. A couple days later, pinksquirrel decides to go all stabby at spindle because she's mad at mags.
Do I follow? I feel like maybe instead of flu shots everyone on GBCN got crazy shots.
that's pretty much the gist of it captainmel. Also, this isn't the first time pinksquirrel has stormed onto the board with fists swinging. I think it's kind of funny, so I started posting Britney gifs.
