Bit of a black & white view on the situation you're trying to portray here, Dundee. You forgot to mention -vixen was balancing on a thin line in her time at Ironworks by making several posts of a rather controversial nature.
Hmmmm... I am basically trying to say that both sides should take five and take a breather. If I recall correctly, vixen was the one who started her own cafe right? A very 'liberal' one as I recall. I thought of it as mischief, but yes, it was threading on thin ice.
This is irrelevant to the fact that she is receiving abuse in her PMs though. Two wrongs do not make a right.
Apart from the view of the moderators on it (whether it was out of line or not, but I think the official rulings are quite clear), I think it's not strange many people got offended by some of her posts and her old signature.
I was uncomfortable with them, but I did not feel an urge to flame her because of them. Even worse, there are cowards out there who were too afraid to confront her in public, and abused the PM system to pick on her. These people are despicable, no matter who the victim is.
The way she responded to people who showed their concern about the questionable nature of her posts absolutely lacked a lot of tact and respect just the same... Pot vs. Kettle, anyone?
Aye, that was somewhat what I was trying to say. Both parties need to cool down.
And, in the end, she was actually just baiting for more criticism by starting to post about some of her "sexually oriented dreams" and by responding to all criticism quite fiercely, with a misplaced bit of drama.
Baits can be ignored or countered with appropriate sarcasm( not scorn, BIG difference),
drama can be dismissed with a roll of an eye. I have encountered 'Diva Queens' of the forums before, but as I am trying to say, an offence committed against her is still an offence, even if her track record is not exactly spotless.
I'm not taking sides in this matter - I couldn't care less - , I just think it's better to see things in perspective, as I have my doubts if everyone seeing this thread will really understand what this is all about.
Well... I am just hoping everything will be settled amicably. [img]smile.gif[/img]
