I'm having a hard time not judging some of the deleters. Is it because you don't want to be called a mean girl, too? Why delete your entire post history? Or have you deleted for anonymity's sake?
Real life funkiness related to my id here. I'm at the point that with my old posts gone, and me not posting much that's personal, IDGAF if I'm found by the Internet stalkers.
I'm pretty sure I've been found by someone IRL. I considered having all of my posts deleted, but really, I just don't care that much. If someone wants to read about me being pregnant and having big boobs, which seem to be the general gist of my latest posts, have at it.
I just think it's pretty telling that people with formerly prominent opinions have faded into the background and took their entire post histories with them.
I will be honest. I have always been pretty cavalier about my identity and the internet. I always thought if someone wanted to find me that bad, I am sure they could.

I'm in the cheap seats. I don't have a job I can be fired from and my H knows I post here. I'm no one important in real life or online. There are people who post here with a lot to lose but people behaving badly or acting crazy isn't new. This just looks like another version of white flight, which feels shitty to say and I hope I'm wrong.

Yep, I'd like to say I'm surprised by it, but I'm really not.

TBH, I don't blame people for taking a step back right now. This is such an emotionally charged issue and people are coming out of the woodwork from all over the site to look for people to be made examples of and some asshat is taking it into real life. Please know that I'm not trying to make light of the situation or to make excuses for anyone's bad behavior.

I think it is one thing to step back for self reflection or to clean up previous posts if you are concerned about identifying info, but to have you WHOLE post history deleted. To me that just says you have something to hide.

A non-drama related flameful:
I did the Baby Foot peel a little bit ago and my feet are starting to peel. It's delightful. I got out of the shower yesterday and W was like, "What is on your foot?" I explained it to him and he walked right up and peeled a piece off. It made my disgusting little heart happy.

Maybe I am disgusting but the idea of doing one of those sounds soooo satisfying.

I used to get contact dermatitis a lot when I was younger due to a latex allergy. I used to get such pleasure from peeling the dead skin off after the blisters went away. SO GROSS, YET SO SATISFYING.
The blisters were like the size of half dollars, so the skin would peel and peel and peel.

I have nearly 100,000 posts. No way I could go back through all of those and pick and choose. If I were concerned, it would be much more efficient to have someone delete all the posts. I don't blame people for that. BUT deleting just select posts in the RR threads where you look bad or deleting the last few days when you already deleted everything up through Jan. 25 (as I thought it was suggested some peopled did, but it seems I might be wrong there)(eta: or 23? whenever the FB thing was linked) is shady.
I can see that too. I suppose its mainly about perspective.
So Kevinarnold is always the first to call someone out in a thread for possibly being offensive. It just seems particularly odd how it went with booby compared to her treatment of stellas at the end there.
I think she can have a bit of a deep mean girl streak similar to boobys. KA is the sharpest, most quickest, & funniest people on here and sometimes it seems like she was harsh to posters she thought were less intelligent. I think she was right in with booby on making fun of kirkette's wordiness/sometimes awkwardness.
Are you honestly surprised that people are not posting with all the finger pointing going on? Like, even just in this thread, why did you tag Autumn? And squirrely accusing Kevin? and the digging through anything mean that was ever said by toledo or mofongo through the entire history of the nest?
I don't know. This whole pitchforking is making me very uncomfortable. I'm sure I will get flamed for this. I just feel like most of those posters have been our "friends" for years, and should be given the benefit of the doubt as to why they might be taking a break.

ka once told a poster she would kill herself if they traded lives. of course she has a mean streak.

Because I've been the recipient of shitty comments about that GFM thread that conveniently disappeared from Autumn's history. I just thought it was mildly convenient that that particular thread was brought to light and I noticed today that all of Autumn's post history was gone. I didn't know WHEN it was gone, just that it was.
All the mean girling has come to a head and it just was enough for me to say something.

I don't think it is pitchforking for Squirrely to be afraid that someone was attacking her business after what happened to SMO.
