Re: That was unexpected
Date: 2017-01-20 09:06 am (UTC)I think you may be giving Paradox07 too much benefit of the doubt by writing her initial post off as just being a rant from a torqued-off millennial. If she wanted to vent, she could have vented on her own blog (blogs are free, she could have made one if she didn't have one already), or sought out one person at a time and gone 'you wouldn't believe what just happened to me!' Instead, she sought out at least two people she knew had once been active at the Keep but no longer were, and posted long, almost identical diatribes to their blogs. And I think we've both got pretty good viewership-- you mention you've got daily pageviews close to 10K in the thread you linked, and according to Mediafire I've had just over a million total downloads.
She told us to copy and paste her original message to everyone we knew, even people who were still members of the Keep. With your distaste for forum drama, you know what doing her that favor would've looked like; so do I. My gut tells me that Paradox07 wanted-- might still want-- that kerfuffle to happen, and she reached out to both of us in an effort to increase the potential scale.
I just don't see her posts as being purely thoughtless anger. I can't. I respect that you're engaging with her on your own blog and I wish you well with that-- you're a bigger person than I am there-- but for me even her first post raised enough red flags to make a parachute. I could've taken a higher road in how I chose to deal with Paradox07 myself, I admit that, but I'm not under any obligation to be nice to people who open with vicious personal attacks, whether they're against me or not.
