    Athol Magarac I prefer reading posts without a lot of topics.

    Paraphrasing test...

    So Yeah. The non-acknowledgement of my feelings in favor of thinking about everyone else is what prompted the unfair idea, and I think it should be accepted.

    Let me try another example... I'm in one IRL hoarding group. It is only for hoarders and the coordinator. COH have a different group. Online, one of the hoarding discussion spaces is only for hoarders as well. It's unfair and exclusionary, but at some point it's going to be unfair to someone. Letting COH into a hoarder-only space might make the hoarders uncomfortable to talk about what they need to.

    This was a while ago. Maybe even "look in the archives" old. I've been successfully distracted for the most part.

    Looking at the ongoing attempts to pursue these arguments:

    This isn't working. It's not going to work. There is no evidence of successful communication at all. Athol, you need to get sober. If you can't make the call, give your contact info to someone else who can make the call for you. But you need detox, and there is no benefit to anyone, least of all you in you continuing to try to argue while too drunk to take in anything anyone says, remember what you said, or otherwise process information at all. And you are drinking way too much for it to be safe for you to try to stop without medical supervision.

    Go get medical help. We are not doctors. We can't give you the help you need, and you can't get the help you need while you're spending every last bit of energy you have trying to win arguments on the Internet.

    I'm actually pretty damn sober right now. Like, if had driven more than 8 miles since the beginning of September and it wasn't so snowy, I'd still get arrested but I think I could get somewhere without wrecking or running someone over. I'm hoping to leave this alone in the morning though.

    I would strongly recommend that you leave it alone permanently, or until you're sober in the sense of "not drinking alcohol in any given week", not just "not falling-down drunk right now". Get into a detox program. I don't care whether it sounds like a good idea; it is the only idea that has any chance of outcomes changing.

    It's really clear throughout this that you're horribly distressed by all the people saying you're doing things you shouldn't do, and you genuinely can't understand what people are talking about. That is almost certainly because of the long-term effects of being persistently drunk. Get sober, get actually completely off the booze (which you need medical supervision for), and then see if any of it makes any more sense. Or don't. You don't need any of this, it's not going to help with any of your problems.

    Athol, you have a horrible time trying to stay out of things, and you keep wanting things stopped so you can take a break.

    If you want your account blocked for a while, so you can take a break and not worry about backsliding and fucking yourself up by looking at things that upset you, you're allowed to ask. We totally do that, and we've had lots of people request bans for weeks or months or years and then come back later when they were better able to deal.

    Does anyone else think that it might be helpful to have a peanut gallery thread to go alongside this, for comments on or jokes about things here that Athol doesn’t need to respond do or distract herself with? My hope is that it would cut down at least a bit on confusion.

    I personally disagree with that, because I think it'd end up more confusing than helpful-- plus, I'm not about to cater to her unreasonableness, and the fact is* that this thread wasn't originally about her, anyways.

    didnt she literally start the thread herself like i know it was meant to be about the mods more than her but its been what it is for so long it seems pointless imho to keep bringing that up as a reason not to do a thing

    The "reporting the mods" thread was started by Athol, the "talkin' 'bout wiggled pears" thread was started by me in response to false claims Athol made.

    But here we are, a day after Kathy waded through the whole godawful stack looking at them, and concluding that actually no there really were good reasons for well over 100 of them, and the two posts that looked like they should have been allowed got restored... and Athol has not yet acknowledged that the problem here is not that she is being abused, but that she is abusing people and behaving horribly. And she can't admit it, and I don't think she even entirely remembers it still. And that's a problem we can't fix.

    Fair enough. She did make it, yeah, and you do have a point. I revise my statement: My personal opinions aside, if that's what works for everyone, no harm in a peanut gallery I suppose.

    You know what? Go back and read your oldest wiggled threads. Guess how well THAT went for us. Hell, you STILL pick fights over edits we suggest. We're not gullible enough to believe things will be any different if we start pouring effort into the black hole again.

    Also true. Well, either way, Boop* still has a point. Granted, with all of it mashed together, I have no idea if it's a free for all or not.

    Personally I would find a peanut gallery really confusing unless it made liberal use of quotes

    Y'know, it was a joking offer in my vent thread but I'll post it here to be serious: I am willing to start a peanut gallery thread should one be desired. Given that I am blocked by her, the likelihood of her being distracted by said posts would be rather slim, since the thread would be likewise blocked by virtue of me being the OP.

    My concern would be that this could be seen as mocking her behind her back, but she was the one who voluntarily decided that she did not want to see my content, I don't actually feel all too bad about it at this time.
