You are not a wuss, hon. You should have seen me the first time I was flamed. I'm over 30 years old and I cried like a child. Since then I've been flamed a few more times and I remember each and everyone of them too. My face still gets red when I think of them. I promise you, you are not gonna get banned for speaking your mind. I can tell from how you speak that you are a sensitive person who takes other peoples feelings into consideration. I like that in people. Those are the types of people that belong here the most. So don't worry. Just sit back and enjoy. We protect our own around here feircely and that includes you too. M.

You all remember my super-flamer episode that we dealt with. Since then, it doesn't really bother me. I just chuckle and politely ask them to stop.
When they don't, that's when things get ugly for them. I have many friends on the interweb.

Super flamer episode? That sounds like a fun story.
I'm sorry to hear that, M. My aunt tells me they have nothin' better to do if they take out the time to be cruel and say you're an awful writer and use very very VERY graphic imaging to do so. (One flamer had a profile with a d-bag of the month section. That disturbed me.)

Yes, Ark, I remember that well. If I remember right, you would not let me go after that one person, even though I really wanted to. Well I did report someone on ffnet that was doing that to you, if I remember right.
Lili, that is not right at all. How can people look themselves in the mirror after doing that to someone?
My first flamer told me that I should stop writing and go back to being a fat houswife. That was all I was good for anyway. If I remember right my response was that I had nothing against housewives and I had nothing against fat people but I did have something against idiots that enjoyed making other people miserable.
And seeing that I am a fat housewife, my statement was certainly true. I love being a housewife. I love staying at home and spending time with my kids everyday. And I love writing and talking to my friends on the net. So I couldn't see where someone couldn't be both.
Anyhow, anymore I'm not so sensitive as I was back then. But I haven't been flamed in a while. That might have to do with the fact that I don't really post on ffnet anymore.

I prevent people flaming me, I told them that if they didn't like my story, don't waste my time and their own by flaming me, to just hit the back button and forget they ever read my story if they disliked it. I haven't gotten a flame in quite a while. But they don't bother me; it's just some person who's either really bored, jealous, or both and a few other things I probably can't mention on this site. >>;
Anyway, yes, I remember the flame thing Ark. xD We were all out for blood and you were like, "O.O" xD

Lol! This flamer incident sounds funny. In fact I kinda feel sorry for the dude. All of you after him must have scared the heck out of him. Because, honestly if the victum is feeling sorry for the one who flamed them makes the situation pretty ironic. All I can say about a flamer is depression likes COMPANY. Some people who are flamed probably don't know how to deal with it so they flame others to make themselves feel better.
And as far as me ever being flamed. Their is only one other site I've ever put a story on and to be honest I never looked at that site again. I couldn't tell you what site it was to save my life. It is extremely difficult to find so I just gave up on it. This is the only site I've ever posted on and actually tried to be apart of the community.

Well, I am very glad that you decided to stay, rayman. You are a welcome part of the community. And yes, lots of people do follow the policy that they have the right to flame just because they were. And then there are the ones that just like to be downright mean. We would have called them bullies in my day. And I would have went after them with a vengence too. As a matter of fact I did a couple of times.
Ah, and Ark's flamers (plural) were a bunch of jealous girls on a different website. They even followed him around and flamed everything he did on every website he posted on, well except this one. I think maybe he kept it hidden from them or they were just too frightened of us. They also sent him threatening emails and tried to convince him that him coming back and defending himself caused one of the girls to try to commit suicide and it was all his fault if she died. Dang I'm getting mad just remembering it.
