What I think Nio is saying, and what personally makes me unwilling to recognize Bunny as anything other than a drain on everyone who knows her, is her total denial of accountability. She'll lash out, act the fool, and when called on it she always has an excuse; I'm tired/medicated/stressed/whatever.
The key is to be yourself, or a reasonable facsimile, but ever unapologetically. Particularly when the entire premise of your posting persona is that your life is agony. It becomes utterly exhausting to communicate reasonably with a person when they moan and moan and then given the choice between ownership or evasion they choose the latter.
I can understand that, truly. But I do believe Nio is one of those who kept going "This should have been in PMs" in the other thread, and then does a delightful little 180 and launches something that can very easily be considered an eloquent ********** you and the horse you rode in on". Publicly. Not only is it hypocritical, it's being an **** for no reason.
Your points are all very good, but it's not like any of you are actually forced to communicate with her, nor get affected in any real sense by her posts. You just drain them of whatever entertainment you can get, and then foist it off when you're bored with it. Sure, she can find more healthy places to vent her issues, but it's not like she's anywhere near as bad as many others have been over the years.
This singling her out in several of the threads made over the last day or two, is nothing but tasteless.
