h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

This post has been removed.

I'm sure that came across as really harsh. Another consequence of having no emotional energy.

I did want to say though that I don't think the h2 community is a very safe place at the moment, for a number of people including you. I hope you can find good ways to take care of yourself.

If the stuff with HI gets to the point that it's affecting to your ability to manage I think you have two choices: email the Eds when you are in a clear space and give them half a dozen examples and put them in context. The Eds may not be able to do anything but it will alert them to the situation. Then you can yikes any posts after that that are over the top. If you don't want to yikes posts that's your choice, but that is the system that's in place for situations like this.

I also think you have to stop engaging with him on those nasty terms if you want the Eds to take it seriously.

The other option is to avoid him. This means avoiding certain threads and I know that's not easy. But it's better than unsafety IMO.

Effers, I yikesed my previous post because I think it would just makes things worse.

Two things I will post from it though:

- what you call being logical is actually my almost complete lack of emotional energy for other people at the moment. I understand most of what you post perfectly fine. If I'm not responding in the way you need perhaps you need to reconsider your expectations of me and/or consider that you don't understand how burntout I am.

- you saying you're not my friend now is pretty much the worst thing you can do for me at this point given what's happened in the last month (how badly you treated me and how much energy I put into being ok with that).

I need to look after myself so I'm unsubbing.

I'd love to know what's in the yikesed post.

But in response to this post. I'm not even properly well enough to organise myself to do what you say..and that's the difference between us. If I saw someone doing that to you with that degree of viciousness I'd be be yikesing myself or at least posting on the thread about how disgusted I was...especially as he was posting stuff that was untrue about my character.

You say avoid. He comes to my space and tells me to grow up in connection with that thread I started about anxieties to do with the death of my parents. You know about that. That upset me incredibly.

I'm extremely fearful now. > if you want the Eds to take it seriously.< Once again I'd be standing up to be counted just like I was about the recent stuff directed at you.

Friendship here bears no relationship to anything I know from real life...

Also there have been other things here directed against me like the annonymous email.

People here simply don't care but would rather spend vast amounts of time discussing 'swearing'.

The more I read here of the way people are organising noohootoo..the more pessimistic I feel that it will be a place for me. I just can't relate to the language.

Yes you've told me about your lack of emotional energy on numerous ocassions.

I treated you badly yes. But that was mostly to do with my shock at the thread FKF resurrected. And I see her behaviour here at present..which you don't come down on a ton of bricks about.

Look I'm every bit as upset as you over this...and HI has a lot to do with it for me.

Actually I'm having to manage her bad behaviour too, but it's nothing compared to what you did to me.

I don't know what's happened with HI lately, but it has nothing to do with me.

I just came back to ask you to please not post in my PS and Journal threads. I'm fine about seeing you elsewhere.

Okay I won't post again after this. But I remember you being on that thread where Hi directed that viciousness at me..and I would have expected a friend you would have helped me out. It's that 'looking out for your mates thing'.

But it's incredibly sad it's come to this for both of us.
