... do people feel the need to terrorize others over the internet?
i was on the PrettyThin forum today (my pro-ana website of choice. it's amazing) and this girl posted something along the lines of "i'm gonna get all of my friends to take over this site with spam." meaning: i'm gonna attempt to create over 8000 accounts so i can make people feel bad.. by myself.
she can do whatever she wants, i guess. what i really don't support is her bullying.
although i don't know many of them personally, there are some really great people who post things everyday. i have made friends with some of them - they are a special kind of friend who you can share EVERYTHING (i mean, everything) with, even though you don't know them too well. no matter what, they will never judge you. they are all strong, beautiful individuals who deserve some respect for their dedication. they don't need someone pretending to have an eating disorder judging them.
i guess people take the "fat" comments in different ways. some get their feelings hurt, some simply ignore the naysayers insults, and others draw motivation from these words. for some people, being called "fat" makes them feel awful and binge, and others work harder for this to be even more of a contradiction.
another thing that i don't support is some people's need to return the favor with more hurtful words. this is an awful way of defending yourself. how much better do those people look in the eyes of others? the online community won't be any less tense. two wrongs don't make a right... bla bla bla. i sound really cliché right now, i'm sorry you had to endure this. i'll stop ranting now. if you read this, thanks. feel free to reply with your responses. =D
