That's stupid.
It looks like an older persons Facebook feed. I don't get the fascination with it, but whatever lol

I lol'd, +1.
There are a lot of memes that could come out of that thread tbh; the whole thing has a lot of potential if we just put our minds to it.
Don't we have a "what are you listening to right now" thread already that the content is probably more suited to (not that I care)? I'm trying to understand what the "this" is in "Going To Do This." I want to understand...

It is smart and solves the problem. Look...when an argument starts on a message board BOTH posters are f#&%ing with each other...because both think they are right.

I think I'll avoid the topic from now on. But I think if someone isn't able to properly interact on a message board, they shouldn't use a message board, regardless of the reasons for being unable to do so. The image annoyed me so I responded politely with my opinion. I shouldn't get screamed at and called stupid for disagreeing with someone. Especially if I'm not supposed to react to it.

All I know is, somebody needs to learn to interact better with others if they're going to use a public message board. Constantly acting like they're being attacked and playing the victim card has gotten old. Nobody has it in for her and nobody is attacking her. If somebody disagreeing with an opinion causes those kinds of issues, I think it would be best if that person refrained from posting their opinions. And personally I think the mods are being more than lenient allowing the odd posting behavior.

She clearly has a lot of issues and has been through some trauma. For that, she needs the appropriate help and resources. While she should not be belittled for what she has been through and empathy on our part would be good, it is also not the responsibility of an anonymous sports message board to provide the support she really needs, or to kowtow to her behavior. The way she lashes out at others is inappropriate, and she does not use a message board the way message boards are intended to be used.
There is a certain self-policing aspect of this sort of community that sort of guides ones behavior. For example, if I constantly acted like a jacka$$, you all would let me know about it in a variety of ways, and I would either shape up, or ultimately leave to find a different forum. It's sociology. Roxy doesn't respond to that, and as JJ put it, moderators have been more than lenient with her.
Now, I have criticized her, and she has disproportionately lashed out, and Tony even accused me of leading a gang against her or some such nonsense. I am obviously not a fan of the way she operates. But I have also worked with the mental health community and have had trauma-informed training. She needs help. Her trauma is likely leading to her bizarre behavior and triggers her outbursts. I hope she has resources to get these things under control. But it is not our job to manage that for her, and it appears that she cannot handle the social etiquette of Huskerboard.
What are we supposed to do? We can try to simply ignore it, but then again this is a message board. Conversation is the point. Why is she here if she is not receptive to discussion and simply bumps her own threads? Is it a big deal? Not in the whole scheme of things. But if everyone acted like her, this board would be unusable.
