Well
Both AA and Bella had sex. Why has it be a bad thing for her to do, but not for him. Why she should have kept it secret, but AA has nothing to feel bad about?

If I had sex with someone here I'd do it knowing that everyone is going to know next day, easy like that. I don't understand why anyone has to feel embarrassed about it. Sex is sex, no more, no less. You decide when and whith whom you do it, no need to hide it.
(, Tue 10 May 2011, 14:54, Reply)
Yet it affects things and people make jokes about it.
If it's a relationship, fine. But if it's a one, two night thing, or even just a fling, having it on here can make things a drag. It's not the telling people, it's how others treat it that would make me uncomfortable.

I speak from bitter, bitter experience.

I understand
I think it's awful that someone makes fun at you for something like that. You see, this are usually the same guys that complain about not having sex because girls are too close minded and can't see the fun in a one night fling. Why a guy who goes through a girl each night is a hero, but a girl that goes through a guy once per month is a slut?

*Horribly out-of-place sensible answer*
Bella is one of the few B3tans to have been given a rougher ride upon her arrival on /OT than me or Bobby, due to the twin crimes of sleeping with AA and allowing herself to be riled by merciless trolling by various other board members, most notably Rory, Monty and Swipe.

they are 2 different things though
1 is my comments to her, aka my "vicious sniping" (i've never been called vicious before, i'm perversely quite pleased). 2 is my opinion of her. 1 does not necessarily reflect 2, and vice versa.

That makes no sense Swipey
and as a lawyer you should be ashamed. There reason you were nasty to her, and the reason you consider it justified to be nasty to her was because you didn't like her plain and simple, but when called out you just attempted to justify that behaviour by pointing out character flaws, which whilst probably true, still had nothing to do with your reasons behind bullying her.
(, Tue 10 May 2011, 15:17, Reply)
i don't see why you think i need it to be justified
i have explained why i disliked her to DF as he queried it. but that's not justification.

it's a public board, i'll post what i like!
(, Tue 10 May 2011, 15:21, Reply)
The reason I think you need to justify it
is the fact that you did try and justify it. If from the very start you had just said, I find her annoying and therefore I'm rude to her, then fine. That's pretty much the whole ethos of b3ta, but you didn't.
(, Tue 10 May 2011, 15:22, Reply)
nobody asked!
it wasn't even that thought out. i read her stuff, thought "what a load of arseshit", and replied.

if DF is now going to ask me why, them's the reasons, but basically if you post something annoying and irritating (and i have quite a few gazzes from people saying "omg she is such a tit"), people will get annoyed and irritated. there's probably also hundreds of other reasons i forget now - might have been having a bad day, or too hot in the office, or scratchy underwear - none of it's relevant.

Yes they were, as I mentioned above

oh hardly!
i think we only had 2 or 3 exchanges.

but i am quite happy to admit i was rude to her. and about her. she can't expect to have strong opinions without exciting an equally strong reaction, and she was being deliberately provocative by saying things like 'woohoo, off to smash up london" - therefore she deserved to be provoked.
(, Tue 10 May 2011, 15:29, Reply)
Your first point is absolute bollocks
The way you went after her was perhaps more starkly obvious because, as you say, you don't troll people all the time like Rory does, but you were still more guilty of it than anyone else. You're quite right that Bella was provocative but you didn't need to go after her on a personal level. You could have, I dunno, suggested that her politics was deliberately provocative and asked her motivation, rather than criticising her appearance and deliberately attempting to rile her

I'm quoting from the article, not Bella.
The low conviction rate is always brought up in these situations, and it's true, but the trouble is, in the vast majority of cases, it's one persons word against anothers, so the chances of conviction are always going to be low, especially when so many cases are between two people who were drunk or on drugs at the time.

If you are attacked by a stranger and raped, the conviction rate is pretty high.

I deal with that by going "Oh, alright then" and wandering off.
