I was reading the post thread in flowerpod about this lady who wrote that she was cheated by her ex; what she lost? $$, her body (they had sex) and health… She wrote that she contracted Herpes (in which a “friend” of hers later said it was HIV; at first, topic starter thought it was Herpes).
Whether it’s real or just a attention-seeking gag, Girls do have to be careful of jerks as portrayed.
because I’m a curious cat, I read through many of the replies in FP as well as EDMW (hardwarezone)…
and I’ve came to a conclusion – everyone has to know when to stop or using a chinese idiom “适可而止”.
Although you are hidden behind your avatar, signature and nickname … it doesn’t mean that you are safe from retributions.
It’s weird, I’m not a religious person but I do believe in Karma.
There is a possibility that the story is not real, but it might be true too.
Also, I also believe that whatever kind of person you are & the way you behave… (real life or online) … there’s just this certain kind of people that you will attract (as friends, lovers and enemies).
The topic starter might seem vulnerable and that was why she was targeted.
but, there is no logic and reason that leads one’s actions to “verbally-attack” someone; especially when they are not doing it in her face, hiding behind their IP addresses & nicknames; leaving very little means for her to defend herself.
When it is obvious that the topic starter wanted empathy (understanding) and maybe sympathy …
It should be reasonable to just ignore her if you can’t give any.
Giving her any sort of attention in the wrong way will just encourage the attention-seekers out there to start enticing tales for you to rebuke and flame.
The fakers would love the attention that they would be getting from you.
(I’m not proclaiming that the topic starter is a fake. It’s a “what-if” scenario)
People posting rude and insulting remarks to the topic starter really ticked me off big time.
