FireIce needs to grieve the fact that she's seeing chief, that
is if the rumours are true? huh? er, what galaxy do you in? having
a boyfriend or girlfriend is nothing to be ashamed of, but the
people involved has the right not to want to announce the fact.
makes you wonder why nosy third parties are so intent on helping
them announce it right?
beneath this seemingly benign facade of extending their joy and
congratulations to FireIce and chief for their "couplehood" is
actually a cruel set up of possible flamings or to nip the blooming
courtship in its bud or to destroy some friendships. as Callan has
indicated, the inhabitants of sgforums are not just nameless nicks
behind a monitor screen, most are friends in real life and even if
they aren't, most of us have an idea how some look like.
then just look at the way it denigrated into suggestions that
FireIce and chief may be having sex or that FireIce is an easy gal
who grant sexual favours, see the way they bantered among
themselves about her skills or a lack of them. ALL OF WHICH ARE
TOTALLY UNCALLED FOR AND UNNECESSARY, but this vicious group of
rumour mongers did so, its aim is to destroy the reputation of a
female forumite or at least to sully her reputation and that's what
pissed me. you see, sexual reputation works differently for guys
and gals, guys who have bedded numerous gals are considered studs
while gals who do are considered sluts, it's the possible slur on
FireIce's reputation that made me join in this fray.
and did FireIce say anything about banning anyone or getting her
possible boyfriend who incidentally owns this forums to ban anyone?
i think it's that group of hyenas who brought the topic of being
banned into the conversation to throw off its stinking scent, ie,
its true purpose: to hurt FireIce and possibly the one referred to
as chief.
a couple of drones, worker bee/s and a queen but what a jealous,
vicious and cruel queen she is!
i'm very happy that after so many flaming wars that finally a group
of trouble makers has been "possibly" identified. now readers, just
ask yourself, doesn't it set you thinking that they (this same
group) may be behind some of the other wars?
SEE? that is the power of suggestion. 
reputation is the same, people defend theirs when it's being
challenged because if you don't, the power of suggestion will
colour everything you ever did before, what you do now and what
you'll do in future.
