218. There is nothing fair about concern trolling.

Wed Aug 5, 2015, 11:37 AM

Aug 2015

That is all this was. Concern trolling to the nth degree.

Why on earth are people trying to defend the cruel and heartless people who in actuality are probably making life a little more hell for someone already there?

If this was one or two posts expressing concern, maybe I'd buy it. It's really ironic that this is being done to a poster named "Torch The Witch" because that is exactly what happened here. A few insecure and heartless folks felt the need to tear this woman down.... all in the name of "concern" for DUers. Well TTW is a DUer. A long time DUer.

"I hope TTW is real"

Are you kidding me? Are you really going to help perpetuate this bullshit? After several long time DUers came forth and even photos have been provided.

This is beyond unreal.

SheilaT posted time and again that he was only interested in the ENTERTAINMENT VALUE of these threads. Why on earth are you defending that shit?
