What to do about liubot

[sweetchix]

I haven't been on long enough to see all her drama, but I get the idea. However, I agree with the pp who said ignore her and don't feed into her. Maybe someday something will click and she'll "get" it and this board just might be a part of that.

I'm on the like list as well. I think we all have our problems, she has just chosen to share more of her problems than others.

I never disliked Liubot. I feel we are an online community that wants to support each other with SO issues but at the same time, we are not therapists. Some issues are just too big and too heavy weighted for me to handle and it is out of concern/worry (not hate) for her and I don’t have the word/advice to give but I can only listen. But I can’t listen to someone who lies as it would make me feel like I am enabling and accepting disrespect.

I don't think this makes her banworthy but I do think it is up to each of us to decide as individuals on whether to engage or not.

[wrathofkuus]

Of course it is. No one is suggesting making it mandatory for everyone to converse with her, or anyone else, for that matter.

[wrathofkuus]

Ignoring as in, just not responding, or not opening her posts, or whatever. Aren't there people whose posts you just never open because you know there is unlikely to be anything of interest to you in there?

I don't dislike her, but I can't keep bashing my head against that wall. I am filled with concern for her. She makes bad decisions, then lies about them, she is desperate for ANY attention, and she is only going to therapy once a month? After a supposed suicide attempt? No way in hell. She refuses to get help, and until she is ready to actually get help, I am done. Now that she is "pregnant" with J, she's not going to leave, and she DESPERATELY needs to be alone and learn to love herself. It makes me sad and I don't want to watch the trainwreck, or hear her lies to make her appear to not be a trainwreck.

Most of all, I think she reminds me of me when I was 23-24 with XFI who was my "savior", but I was desperate for any attention. I was just in such a low place and I don't like remembering it.

I am just going to ignore. I will no longer give her validation-she needs to seek that from herself, and I will no longer chastise her (she won't listen and doesn't need the pile on). I don't think she deserves a banning.

I dont think she should be banned its an open public forum, but i for one will not be feeding her anymore. People actually think that they are helping her by continuing to believe her bullshit. I have said more than once that i can not beleive the bs that she shovels and people swallow up. If you think this is helping her go for it...in reality it is just reinforcing her messsed up mind.
With each lie she tells she gets attention...so what does that do? It produces more lies...each and every time. Until someone calls her out and then we all become cunts and bitches. Then 3 hours later she posts as her BF, her 15 year old twin etc.
She wont go away if we try and ignore her because there will be 1 or 2 or continue to think they are helping her.
BUT my guess is if 96% ignore her she will get bored enough and leave.
Maybe it will at least decrease her posts.

I also agree that it is hard to ignore her posts when she changes her name 10xs a month posing as different people.

Banning her is pointless, you can easily reset your ip if you know how.

i have a harder time understand how/why people continue to try and support her and contiue to be nice to her. they frustrate me a lot more than she does. Then again that is why she continues to post. and they keep going back for more.

Yup. She craves the validation. You give it and you are just feeding the troll. Why learn to love yourself when an internet board full of strangers will do it for you!?! No need to get therapy, or healthy, or make good life decisions when you can just lie about them!!!

Why I'm on Team Liubot: She's my age and I was pulling the exact same crap and making the same decisions up until May. Then I ended up in the hospital because I just couldn't keep it all going anymore and wanted to give up.

I got therapy, pulled myself together and started anew.

How did I miss this "fuck you all" post? I'm going to be especially sad if something nasty was directed toward me and I missed it! Was it under the Liubot screen name?

[Deleted]

Just don't open her posts if you don't want to see it. I voted no cause what are we banning her for? She hasn't threatened anyone just said some crazy shit and got defensive.

I've basically stayed out of this up to this point, but I'm just ignoring her. She is immature, searching for something to feel the void she has in life. She is the same age I am. I made stupid decisions when I was younger and have moved on. She is a train wreck. She doesn't know how, or just doesn't want to put on the breaks.

[lucyonajetplane]

I don't know about any posts besides my "wow" one today. I know i deleted liubot on Saturday. I made this screen name today. I figure it makes sense that someone posted pretending to be me to get me banned from the boards. You guys win. Apparently, I'm not welcome here any longer and I understand why. I guess its just time to move on with my life. Thanks for the help and support when it was given. Sorry I couldn't be more of a friend to everyone. I really did and am trying. I guess I can just continue on my own. I don't want to bring any more negativity to this board so consider this my last time stopping by.

It was in the "Achase" post which started out to ask Achase about her hot date. She posted before/around 1pm and was deleted by Starryfish mod (no flaming to her or our mods, her post was completely innappropriate and I'm sure they were trying to halt the inevitable wild fire). I think this is why people are not quite getting her behavior. She's been posting like this in other boards as well over the past few days. Since she's GBCN'd and started new SNs, you can't see the history but she's been super nasty for no reason - even today. She says that she stayed away for a while to get perspective or whatever but the "Fuck you all" post was today on our SO board directed toward all of us. So, yeah another lie.

Oh I missed that one. I did see the random snarky comments.
