I agree with Herr Drache. There needs to be consequences for bad behavior. I wish more people understood this concept, and hopefully those who have followed this situation take that lesson from it. Also, man or woman up and accept those consequences instead of blaming others.

I don’t know Nymphy, but I can understand needing to get away and deal with anxiety issues. My thoughts are with her, and hopefully she finds the peace she needs.

BB it has been two years since I played WOW because of incidents of this kind. Good people getting pummeled because someone CAN pummel them via an MMO. It bothered me when Guild members were battered for no reason and I finally left. Thank you for having this blog and saying what you do. It’s like letters from home….

Yes, bear, you’re so right. “a mature person would have hit ‘save draft’, considered…” and not done anything. Thank you for not being that mature :)

Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy playing with mature adults. And silly and whacky adults. And mature kids and all that, but here’s the thing: As long as we all pretend to be mature and above all these little annoying bullies, they’re free to do whatever whenever to whomever they want!

There need to be reactions, consequences, and sometimes the mature people need to call ‘em out, slap ‘em over the head, and make them notice that no, Internet anonymity doesn’t mean you have to behave your absolute worst.

If you’re anonymous and can be everything that you want to be, why chose “Asshat”?

TL; DR: That bacon crust looks delicious!

Nothing wrong with getting emotional and defending a friend. I think it is commendable.

Thank you for linking that, with the pictures for context. Really, that was awesome.

Now excuse me, off to listen again.

Personally, I would have gone with Vera Lynn's We'll Meet Again even if it's more melancholy
