I still want to know why do you keep files on people that are on this board?


Now isn't that a little strange.

[jonsi]

I don't know why people do this.

You have posted over 1,600 responses here & have no idea why anyone is starting to target you now. A few months ago I was a target too. Maybe I said something wrong, but no one is perfect.

The files thing is freaky to me too

itwl,
~jonsi

[janedoe]

whats in these files?

[jonsi]

They save these files which contain everything you say and go back to it when they want to discredit you. Some times it is taken out of context. They must have a lot of time on their hands.

So, janedoe, let's say that you made me mad a long time ago (& yes, we haven't always agreed, but you are cool, we worked through it ) but I would never pull up old crap from an old post to put you down now. I would never say I am always right either.

It is an in-fighting process that does nothing to promote our healing.
In the white light,

oh, i gotcha.. when they have no point to make they bring up an old one..lol..that must take up a lot of space! lol... but if it makes them feel better to keep their little comfort blanky, i dont care. its better than quoting the bible! thats what people always do when they run out of stuff to say..
1..think of the children!!
2..some bible quote
3 .some smart person quote.
4 calling names
5 baby talk ( talking down to you because theyre on a pedistol above you)
6 pouting ( boo hoo, nobody wuvs me)
any im forgetting?
when my dad is wrong, he gets louder. i tell him LOUDER DOESNT MAKE YOU RIGHT!! he hates that
ive heard horrible things said to me all my life, it rolls off my back most of the time.i do like to be a smart alec, those who keep files do it because their brain isnt to fast,they cant come up with quick put downs..lol.
lucky for me, i say what i feel, not what others want so my words are gonna be pretty close 10 - 20 yars ago and now. unless im in a bad mood of course.haha
oh well, if somebody wants to shoot me a real name, i can run a real background check, far better than files...

You know when I was very young I noticed that I was always right, do you know what kind of burden that is to carry around.

I noticed I was better than other people and litterally I did not smell, how I prayed to be normal, asking the powers that be to just grant me one little gift, let me smell, please...... leeeeet ...... meeeeeee....... smelllllllll.

I was determined to be odoriferous just like everyone else, I ate onions, garlic, eggs, oils of all kind, cabbage, beans and nothing, nothing but the flowers of springtime.

I was near crazy, going out of my mind, when all of a sudden it came to me, give up wanting to be the same, just hide your differences.

I started to say stupid things and learned to make a special sort of grunt and smirk to back up and add to my generated stupid ideas. Its easy to act stupid if your smart.

I also learned if I picked up a freshly squashed animal from the road i could have that bit of manly oder I so desired, but also learned do not keep it in your pocket too long or it would get washed.

I hope this does not sound to ya'll like somthing insignificant as I want to be liked and considered a part of the group.

You know, I even took on a name that would give me a few initials when I first came here that would have me blend in, B O of course. LOL

Too funny...."leeeeet.... meeeeee ......smellllllll".

Keeping files about people, or keeping files that contain other people's posts is a sort of stalking. A type of data mining and profiling.

When the copied posts are inserted into arguments, that suggests saving up ammunition for future fights.
Anyone married to an alcoholic knows what I am taking about.
It's called Keeping Score, or Holding a Grudge, or Saving Up Ammo.
Spouses that collect data on spouses they suspect are cheating (or doiing something that the other spouse does not approve of) are a good example, all data is fodder for future arguments, and often resorted to when one has been caught with their knicks down. Inserting these gems at opportune moments is likely to make the person doing the confronting forget their question or the purpose of their inquiry, as they are then engaged with another argument -with themselves as the focus.

When the person who does this adds insulting remarks, flippant responses or denigrating comments, that is called verbal abuse. In the case of it happening on forums it is more literary than verbal.

When confronted with such behavior, dysfunctional people will often resort to several tactics.

These include, among others:

deflection: not responding to the confrontation, but re-directing attention from one's self to another person or issue.

misdirection: can include deflection, but often incorporates adding unrelated information, or bring up past arguments with the intent of clouding an issue or topic. May also include long accounts of other's conversation or actions which may appear to be recounted as a support to statements or views, but which really are intended to be distractions of never-ending-loops (eg the conversation will never conclude and the original debate is lost in mire).

score-keeping: inserting comments or lists of the other's past behavior which have nothing to do with the current discussion or question. This is a form of deflection and misdirection, but indicates a lack of justifiable defense. It is also a sure-fire way to deflect a question or inquiry that asks for a direct and clear explanation.

There is more, some of which can be found in (books) Games People Play, Society is an Addict, and others.

All of it is abusive and all dysfunctional. All of it power-plays and tactics universal to bullies and those with control issues.

It would seem that such attacks are not always directed at the same people on this forum, but many people are on the receiving end of this for a length of time. And then it is some one else's turn. Some forums have spats between individual members -as is natural in any group. But there are also in some forums a separate problem: a member or members who go on the attack from time to time, viciously picking on and bullying different members over time, but in the process upsetting the entire forum, with the result of members leaving, or the forum closing. Several forums about health issues have been shut down from this type of disruption.

I like the title of this thread, very creative and cheeky. It led me to think of others as possible future thread suggestions (tongue-in-cheek !!):
