Newbies Posting Tragic Story Posts

[one...two...tree 2,762]

None of us are here to judge, nor have we really the right to do so. As I said before, if you think the OP of a thread is spouting rubbish or a troll PM a mod or the Captain. The Captain can look into the IP if need be and take action. The mods can lock a thread or keep an eye on it.

By posting in a thread that you believe is started by a troll then surely you are merely adding to the "drama" created by the OP in the first place. You are also giving the OP exactly what he/she wants - attention.

I didn't know whether or not the OP was a troll, so I merely questioned her assertion that Arab men are skillful liars. Geez, I hope we haven't gotten to the point that we dare not challenge or confront somebody, even in their despair, should they say something that others find insulting.

Yet you started a separate thread questioning her motives, inviting scorn...complete with link.

Huzzah!

I think most of us are sentisitve enough to give the benifit of the doubt when a new poster posts about being used likethis one, but also smart smart enough to see there is something more to the post. The recent falling out in MENA (and in other topics) with spammng the board about the horrors of Arab men maek me suspicious and I think Steven was NOT out of line in his questions.

And you've no doubt made it even more unpleasant.

There were a series of posts that led up to this and I had been following them.

My response to her posts were not demeaning or insulting to her plight, IMO. That's it.

Then again all I can stress is that you notify the mods, Steven. I think lal_brandow was the one handling all of the MENA spam, PM her and inform her that you think this may be another spamming post.

Again, replying to someone you feel is an obvious troll just feeds them.

I know, but it's so much fun.

...seriously though, when I read her thread, I didn't have time to look or make the direct connection other than wondering why all of a sudden all these broken hearted women who were married to Arab men are posting about their tragic stories, so I didn't really know whether she was sincere or not.

She's baaaccckkkk. She has three or four names here (you can tell by the constantly repeated very poor writing style and grammatical/spelling errors) and was banned was another site. She's very unstable woman who invents entire scenarios. When busted, she comes up with some excuse i.e. "I meant this poll/survey/whatever to be in a PM" . . .

Therein lies the problem, Fancypants.

As to the bit in red, you may not have had time to look, but you had enough time to act without certainty by starting this thread.

And you weren't even certain. Tsk

Remember that one lady who had posted up photos of women here on VJ who were marrying Arab men on a website? That's who came to my mind when I read the first post. I thought - either she'll be soon exploiting this tragedy or perhaps she's behind this charade? hmmm....

Taking all the statements you've made in consideration, what you're describing is apparantly unsubstantiated paranoia.

I dont know but she seems more like a hit and run type of person and not sticking to the same story and boring people.
