"Sex..Lies..No videotape yet and oh yes, Icebreakers too "

Hello my Darling Readers,

Oh yes beloved ones..We have been down this road before so why am I so surprised we are going down it once more ??

Fasten your seatbelts angels..it might be a bumpy ride indeed..

Where do I begin ? At the beginning is best I believe..I joined a group here in June of 2011. It is an employee run test group. I have been bragging here, there and everywhere about how cool this group is..how amazing the men and women are..How I never dared dream or hope that folks like this would be members here. Caring, intelligent, compassionate, charming, funny, witty..amazing people that I like spending time with. The one woman I first met there..well I am a big fan of hers..She convinced me to stay in the group when I found a member on my blocked list there. She was so kind to me and understanding of my situation. Here she is a well known member of that group taking the time to assure a newbie like me that it was okay to stick around and all would be safe. I might not have stayed if she hadn't been there to guide me as I was worried. I did not want any drama from the troll I blocked. I got lucky and no drama insued.

As I got to know her I heard only a bit about some past issues and since she seemed sad to recall them I did not question her. No wish to bring up any unhappiness or sad memories. Slowly I got to know the other members and as our WEDS came to be so did our meetings..They were fun and filled with laughs and hugs & knowledge too. Sadly some issues could not and would not be resolved but on the whole the group did its very best to benefit the membership and the site. I gave her nicknames which are cute and meant with great respect and affection but now I can no longer use them as the " others" seem to take offense at it.

I met another member there..a very funny and quick witted Lady that I took to right away. She always makes me smile and LOL. I am one of those people who can read people right away and sense if we are going to get along or not..I wanted to know these amazing women on and off site. I am lucky indeed to say they are a part of my offline world.

The site has started a new programme called " Icebreakers " and I am not a fan per se of it and said so on day one. I am happy the women who joined it seem to be enjoying their free silver memberships and that the men who are receiving the IB emails seem to be learning some useful tips from those emails. There have been some glitches but for the most part the programme seems to be working. I am thrilled the women on site are finally getting something free to make their membership more fulfilling.

The second Lady I met in the group started a great group thread on the whole IB emails and what we could do to make them work better and what good advice could we pass along to the men receiving them..It was a fascinating thread and perhaps some of my readers have viewed it before it descended into the hell it has become. Some of our group members have been very kind and wrote some fabulous posts for it. Then one man came along and in his jealousy, anger and need to abuse the Lady who started the thread..he began posting lies and abuse..Many members sought to stop him in his tracks..I was vocal about him being reported for his misdeeds. I do NOT care who he thinks he is..He is wrong and abusing the woman because he is jealous/angry is not her fault or any of ours. He publically stated his intention was to get to her and destroy the thread. Many good men and women came to the thread expressing displeasure at his rudeness and abuse. Please recall THIS is an employee of the sites own group..He showed disrespect to the woman he abused and to the employee he claims to care about.

It got so bad that my first friend in the group came in to try and calm things down. What did she get for her attempt at being a peacemaker ? She got insulted and abused. This is when folks began reporting the so called Man to the sites abuse dept. The sites own dept went in and blocked the man so he could no longer cause havoc at will in the Ladys thread. Thus stopping him from insulting innocent women who did nothing wrong but disagree with him and his twisted world view of how men and women are supposed to behave.

Soo my angels you'd think all was calm now and the worst was over right ? Not by a long shot darlins...

Just to cause more havoc and fights the Man started a thread where he was complaining of being silenced. He so firmly believes the abuse he was handing out was righteous/fair. He was speaking for all the men on site and protecting all the men from all us horrible women. All he has done is cause fights and anger in a test group run by a site employee. All he has accomplished is showing women on site that he is someone NO ONE wants to know or deal with.ALL this because he can't have a free silver membership like the ladies can. Sigh.

Cut to last WED and the chat room for the group. I went in there to see friends and see how their day was going. I enjoyed myself with those that spoke to me and not down to me as If I was just a stupid woman who knows nothing..I thought I'd test the waters and suggest my first friend in the room as a co-mod of the group..As everyone knows if she had been a co moderator of the group the man would never have dared attack an innocent woman on her thread. I made my suggestion quietly and he screamed at me that I was F-ing crazy for saying that..I ignore him and always will from now on. He went on to claim that the idea was stupid and NO member should EVER be a co mod on any employee run group. Well guess what angels ? This so called man is a co mod of a beta test group for this site. Soooooo yes can you say it with me ? He needs to honor his own words for a change..if no member can be trusted to run or help run a group with an employee then he needs to be removed NOW. When the group owner returns to work, I shall be more than Happy to suggest just that to him. Others in the room agreed that no members should ever be helping moderate a group. Ok folks, you all agreed so he loses his co mod status.

I had to call my first friend and tell her of all this including the remarks about NO, not her..that were in the room. One of the other members is now trying to claim that none of it took place on WED. To my knowledge only myself and one other Lady in the room stood up for my friend. The others pointed out to many problems to let that happen again. I am one of those crazy types that saves everything so all, ALL remarks were saved. I do not blame the other members for their stance. I was not around for the bloodbath that took place first time out..but I do not tolerate someone lying and saying that my friend was not talked about and than trying to claim the second Lady who started the IB thread is a liar..NOT fair and not right at all. When the Man stood up and screamed that I was insane for even suggesting one of the best members I have ever known be a co mod..how is that not disrespectful to my friend ? How is what the Man later went on in his thread to say about my friends not abusive ? Again ladies, get your stories straight. BTW the only reason the man is even co mod of that other group ? My first friend the one he is insulting everywhere ?? SHE suggested it.

Some folks think if you insult and scream long enough folks will be to afraid to stand up and do the right thing. I am not one of those folks you can push around. I do NOT tolerate liars or mean girls or idiots..I refuse to suffer fools gladly. I am not the ass kisser or sock puppet you claim I am in the hopes real members won't see through your remarks..I am ANA and have always been ANA..Go ahead and put quotes around my name...as if you are trying to claim I am a fake or someone in disguise. I stood up when the man attacked one woman and I stood up when he attacked another..THIS is what real friends do. REAL friends do not hijack other members threads. For Gods sake people this is a group run by an employee. GROW up already and remember this is an adult site not a site.

BTW I was on the phone with the second lady of the IB thread when the abuse dept called her on her home phone and they worked on blocking his abusive posts. GET your stories right people or stop screaming about things you know nothing of/about.

Okay my friends..I am off my soapbox..I felt this had to be said and this is my blog..my thoughts..NO ONE is asking me to do this. I REFUSE to hijack my friends IB thread or add to any of the stupid comments of those hijacking her thread.

Happy Tues and thanks for reading this..I feel so much better for having written it,

Hugsss,

THE REAL ANA ( no quotes are needed here..)

I have only been at the periphery of this conflict. I haven't followed the Icebreaker issue that much, so I am not up on all its details. I do know that there has been one member stirring the pot, and I observed out mutual friend try to take him to task in the chat room. Although I try to avoid this crap as much as possible, if there is anything that you think I could do to help, let me know.

Darling Rockin,

Thank you my friend for posting here and for taking the time to read through the whole issue. I too know of our mutual friend who tried to step in and do the right thing and only ended up abused/insulted by the pot stirrer. YOU are a wonderful friend and we all benefit from having great , GREAT members like you here on site.

Hugsss,

Imp,

Thanks darling friend for the input..Sadly neither did I. I thought the group was a place where this kind of BS/abuse/lies/nonsense would not be tolerated..He took advantage of the fact Ryan was to busy to get involved and stop him.

Miss you my friend & xoxo,

When the cat is away, the asshats do like to sling their excrement.

Did you lurkers get that? Make sure you copy and paste it for everyone else to read so you can discuss it among yourselves and read all sorts of hidden meanings into it.

" He went on to claim that the idea was stupid and NO member should EVER be a co mod on any employee run group. Well guess what angels ? This so called man is a co mod of a beta test group for this site.

I read the IB thread with difficulty. All of this person's posts were gone/blocked by the time I got there. I could only read text others had quoted, and find out what was said by hearsay. Still, not a pretty picture.

I would like to make one point, however. There are TWO member (non-employee) ass-mods in the beta group and it should be stated that one of them, with whom I am intimately familiar, had nothing to do with the story related here. I'd hate to see the faultless other ass-mod in beta be tarred by the same brush accidentally.

Hello There,

Thank you for taking the time to read/post your opinion here. I appreciate it so much. I am so sorry I was delayed in posting this. Weekend pc issues kept us hopping. My bad tho. Am glad it is here now for others to enjoy reading.

You are right, Sir, the hijacked thread was NOT a pretty picture at all. Thankfully the site worked on the issue so it is no longer a tainted thread. I hope others will seek it out and add their thoughts without fear of being insulted or abused.

Thank you for clarifying the co mod issue. I am not a member of the Beta Test group and did not know who else was the co mod. I am sure though that folks do understand it is the one who created all the problems/hijacking/abusing on the IB thread..and is also the same " Man " who said NO member should ever be a co mod on an employee run group. Thank you though for helping me to clarify that so the other co mod is not seen in the same light.

Here is something sad I shall add. When I last spoke to the woman who created the IB thread I said to her, "I hope you will take this the right way but..I am so glad you created that thread with all good intentions and we all watched it disapear admist the abuse..but if not for you trying to help folks with their IB's and ask questions, I would never have seen the people trying to ruin the group/attack members in the correct light. I naively thought they were people worth knowing. Now I know that is incorrect. Thank you. " She understood me perfectly well and was not offended. Thankfully there are some really intelligent people in that group. They are the ones worth knowing.

Thanks,

Ana6

Hello D4,

Thank you for this wonderful post and for sharing your thoughts/opinion.

In regards to the IB thread, it was not my thread nor was I the one being attacked/insulted/abused. The site did what it did in that situation involving a member and themselves. The decision was made by them. It just seems wrong to have an employee owned group become a battlefied because of one " man " and his agenda against a fellow member. I have said it before but it bears repeating, I did not think anything like this would happen in a group run by an employee on his own web site. I understand conflicts and arguements but this was deliberate and done with malice aforethought. Seems quite the shame that a lot of members interested in the IB thread/topic or even the group were run off by one hysterical man. I counted at least 3 members letting the group owner know that they were approached by members saying NO way to the group based on what happened via the IB thread.

I enjoy the group and the people I choose to chat with there. It is a very simple thing to just ignore those with bad attitudes and massive egos. We used to have a number system from an old chat room where we'd keep track of the fakes/bullies/trolls. Right now the good folks in the group outnumber the bad ones by a wide margin. I would never allow any of them to discourage me. I am just so thrilled that out of the bad that came from that thread, some good did survive. I now know those " people " are nothing I want in my life or to be surrounded by.

I echo your other friends who have said it to you.." It is good to have you back "

Happy Wed ,

Ana6

Unfortunately, I have only what each side of this thing says to go on. The deletion of the "man's" posts and the loss of another's posts because he turned his profile off make the thread almost impossible to follow as far as who said what to whom. Hence my post above.

D4,

Thank you again Sir for braving the waters of my blog..LOL..I know these can be rough seas these days. Life vests are available at the door

The best thing to do when confronted with a situation like this is to look at the beginning of the thread..and I believe the misbehavior that ended up in abuse began on page 2 of the IB thread. There are plenty of folks I believe who quoted him and those msgs are still readable. The man who keeps quitting and coming back, quitting again and creating new handles..turning his profile off and on..I do not know him other than by his words. I would also suggest looking at the past behavior of the individuals involved. I do appreciate your sharing your thoughts and concerns. You are a smart man and I know you can make up your own mind and not be led around like a sheep being led to the slaughter.

Thank you again,

Ana6

Hello Faithful readers,

Well..today was a turn of events..The group where the abuse was going on appears to be about to be disabled. The group owner has been given another position on site with his whole team. Hopefully this means the lynch mob won't have an employee run chat room to bash/lie about members in and that most of us will not have to look upon them again. Sorry to lose the group but not sorry to lose the lynch mob and their abuse.

I will forever be grateful to the group for those members I really enjoyed meeting/spending time with. Thankfully they are all now part of my offline life too.

Hugsss,

Ana6
