Dear You 2.0

[Satya]

Shut up, clown. I was making a point. If I want to get banned, I'll do something a lot more interesting than call a spade a spade.

[Graff^]

Dear you attention seeking five year old

Jayelle wasn't right to say what she did, but everyone else
told her in a way that was mature.

From,
Getting slightly angry so I'm going back to not
acknowledging your existence.

[daPyr0x]

Dear Satya,

I have missed you around here.

[Satya]

Dear clown,

Suck it. If you were going to be a five-year old and hit-and-run like a coward, backing down and running with your tail between your legs after spouting off, you were better off not commenting in the first place. Like Jayelle.

From,
Apparently, the only person with a functioning brain around here.

P.S., if this is getting you slightly 'angry', you need counseling or meds STAT. It's the internet, you baby - take off your Pull-Ups, you're playing with the big kids now.

P.P.S, Jayelle knows I love her. But a pimp's gotta keep his pimp-hand strong even with his favorite hoes, you know what I'm sayin'?

[Graff^]

Dear you,
Um.....please talk to me tell me what I did.

From
A wondering person.

[Confessions]

I've no idea if the earlier post was to me or not, but in the same anonymously protected way, I felt the need to respond; if only to reflect similar feelings of my own.

Dear You,

You're right, you did make a mistake. Come to think of it, so did I. Part of growing up. When it comes to relationships, all I can think of is a desire to return to the place I was with you. Many treasured moments of my happiness reside with you, and I find it unlikely to see that changing any time soon. In the time that has passed, however, I have come to realize the sacrifices I had made, some of the things that were never quite right, some of the causes of pain in other areas of my life, for our relationship. That's not to say you were at fault, but rather, I'm a different person now. For that, perhaps, you are partially at fault, but not entirely. I chose to live my life very differently at the time when we were together than I do now, and I choose to treat other people - particularely relationship partners - differently now than I did then. I don't know if I could be that person again, or if I'd want to.

Like you, I too compare everyone else I date with my memories of you. You will never completely leave my mind or my heart, and I think you know that. I use you as more of a benchmark than a ruler, though. Nobody will ever measure quite what you did, but others will score well in different ways. I do fear I will never love another like I did you, and perhaps I never will. But I will forever cherish your, our, memory.

Dear You,

This morning I was on board with the plan. I really was. Sure, fine, harp on him about it a little bit, you're right, he's 58, family history, etc.

Then I started to write him an email, which made me look up the information on it, and decided, meh. I'm on board with his plan. Denial and procrastination sound good to me.

Sorry. It's either a learned or genetic failing. If it might be something bad, I just don't really want to know. Yay for collusion in unhealthy intergenerational patterns!

Your Favorite Niece

Dear you,

I don't care who you are, that's a nasty thing you did just there. To write something like that anonymously is cowardly and mean to every single person on this board with an ex-girlfriend.
Because they don't know who it's from, they will be hoping it's them. What you've done is mean, and it makes me want to ban confessions if people are going to use it like that.

I thought you should know that.

-angered by the above.

Dear You,
not to be a giant douchebag or anything (that's a lie, I am a giant douchebag) but my post was extremely similar up above. I don't know who Confessions is or if they have history dating people on these boards (I do not, and the person in my post has never even heard of Enders Game) but a lot of these confessions could be pointed at almost anyone on these boards.

Just my two cents.

-Me

[jotabe]

I don't know who Confessions is

Thing is that "Confessions" is an open account (password is guilty) for anyone to use in the board, if they want to tell something but with the protection of anonymity (though some mods probably can see the IP it was written from and connect the dots... they can, it doesn't mean they will).

I think what angered Jayelle is the use of this extra layer of anonymity to address a personal message at some other member of the board. That's not the appropriate use of the Confessions account.

[Satya]

...Except that you don't know if it was addressed at someone on this board. It could simply (and probably was) addressed to someone who will never even see it; they were just venting some emotion.

[powerfulcheese04]

My 0.02 on the ex post.. i have a strong suspicion it's between 2 board members and I have a guess as to who.



Dear You,

You're 21 years old and kinda/sorta a junior in college. It's creepy enough you're dating a 17 year old. It's even creepier for you to go to prom. It just is.

-Your Older Sister

[Satya]

It's their own business.

Consider me learned.

Post left up but comment mentally retracted.

[Confessions]

It was written to Satya. I love you, dear.

Or no one on pWeb, but the ex knows this message board. Take your pick!

[Satya]

Love you too, shmooples.

But seriously. There's only one person who it could have been if it was meant for me, and it wasn't her.

At least, it's highly unlikely.

[Young Val]

That's not the appropriate use of the Confessions account.

I wasn't aware there were "appropriate" restrictions on the use of the Confessions account.*





*Other than keeping the password the same.

[Satya]

True.

Just use common sense. Like not confessing my affair with EL. That would just be rude.

[jotabe]

I don't think there are any stated restrictions. As Satya said, just common sense. But it's just wrong to use the advantage of anonymity to address someone else.

I didn't mean to say inappropriate in any formal sense. It just looks strongly inappropriate to me.

[Gravity Defier]

Seems to me it would be appropriate to say no using Confessions for posts in which you actually name-drop (I'd add the qualifier that it be a negative post but I'm not sure I'd be comfortable with it being a positive post, either). Maybe that falls under "Common Sense."

[Eaquae Legit]

THAT WAS A SECRET, SATYA!

[Satya]

I just can't live a lie anymore. I need to shout it from the rooftops. I want the whole world to know. YOU COMPLETE ME.

Dear Earth,

Endless aftershocks, 450 micro-quakes, 71 3-4.0 quakes, 2 4.0-5.5 quakes, and one 7.2 quake with an epicenter within 60-70 miles since Easter is a bit much, don't you think? I'm paranoid about end of the world stuff as it is and if I actually felt all those, I'd be a wreck. Oh, please don't take that as a challenge to produce more in hopes I'll feel them; the 7.2 was definitely felt.

Thanks,
me

[Eaquae Legit]

Dear My Dear,

You know this is all well within the chivalric tradition. Did you expect anything else?

-Me

[daPyr0x]

Dear You,

Was that you?

--Me

Dear You,

Why do you do this to yourself? You've been asking this question for years, and you know the answer already. Why do you torture yourself so about implementation?

--You

[Satya]

There will have to be a duel, of course.

[Gravity Defier]

Dear You,

This is entirely unfair and while I doubt you'll know this is for you, I hope you'll accept my apology (I am truly very, very sorry.). You two remind me so much of each other that it's not only the sight of him that hurts my feelings after he's said or done something hurtful, it's also the sight of you. So much so, that when you say something, I can see it being something he would say, and it confirms everything bad I have tried so hard to ignore and pretend away.

Everyone who knows anything knows this needs to stop; it's driving me crazy and I'm turning into something I don't like. This is just another part of that.

Sincerely,
G D

Dear You,

Today it was super-slow, so the boss-girl suggested trying stuff on so I can talk about how they fit. So I tried on some stuff I didn't care much about, and some stuff I've been ogling. I've been fretting that they'll be sold before I can afford them, but I asked and boss-girl says I can put them aside in the back until I can buy them proper.

And dude, they are freaking awesome.

[Petra456]

Dear EL,

Reading your DY reminds me of when I first started my job (in a clothing store). My style of clothing completely changed once I got this job and I remember how fun it was to actually find stuff I thought was awesome.

: )

[Confessions]

Dear You,

I wonder
How it's going to be when you don't know me
How's it going to be when you're sure I'm not there
How's it going to be when there's no one there to talk to
Between you and me
'Cause I don't care


How's it going to be?

[Gravity Defier]

Dear Pauly Shore,

Rest assured, you have at least two fans left in the world.

Sincerely,
Me

[powerfulcheese04]

Dear You,

I will not quite vet school because you don't like me. I won't even quit extra curriculars because you don't like me. Lay off!

Dear Grammar Nazi,

This is for you.
