If the mods just don't want to pull the trigger on a permaban how about just removing the asterisk in the exile thread and I'm sure we can get it done there.

I'm sorry but I don't see re-posting things from a drama-filled terrible poster being so cut and dry.

"Oh hey guys here's a steak from 'someone' 3outof10steak.jpg."

It's gonna spark discussion about the poster and pollute good threads.

But it has been done a few times already and nothing has happened. They have all been post that have added to the discussion.

The problem is that you see me as terrible all around, and not just terrible when I'm having an episode and ranting. I can understand this as I've been out of my mind more than normalized for the past couple of years, but every once in a while I'm normal and make a normal post for another thread that does nothing but contribute to the discussion.

This is a very self-aware statement. Good job!


This is a positive post.

Yea that's an example of a good post.

The issue with that situation is that it is not worth having to put up with the terribleness for the moments of normal.

The whole idea of containment is to be introspective and improve oneself as a poster. Then when you are ready to go back out there you'll be a solid contributor.

Thanks Didace. I'm trying.

This is a silly online forum and should be taken light heartedly, but reflecting on my reaction last night I can see the same reaction irl when I feel something is being done unjustly. From yesterday's discussion, I can see how I just jumped to conclusions and felt that El D was just trying not to include me instead of looking at the facts or just not caring at all because it shouldn't have been a big deal.
The same when Larry came in. I immediately thought he was just picking on me, which I'm still not convinced he wasn't, but I see how my reaction could have been different to get my point across.

I figured I didn't have much of a case with my reaction. That's the 3rd time he has come in to make some sort of change to get rid of me without solid reasoning. If he does it again, I'll talk to them about it.

Larry,

Fwiw I think it's pretty clear that El D is right here. Of course someone can repost an occasional post with pics of steak/pie making, without there being an issue. That's not at all what the point of containment (to stop the contained poster from making every thread about herself, and to stop the innocent from being exposed to the contained's usual awful posting, etc) is, and goes well beyond what is reasonable.

MLYLT,

Maybe don't make (poor) implicit threats to moderators who may or may not have it in for you if your goal is to be uncontained.

Your "reaction" was more of a temper tantrum. You have been repeatedly explained the reasoning behind your containment and everyone aside from you is in agreement.

Just go to therapy and stay the hell off 2p2. Figure out your health insurance while you're at it, make it a priority.

I just realized something based on this post. It might be possible to connect MLYLT with reality regarding the "negative"/"positive" posting ratio. All she needs to do is recognize that other posters are reacting to her posts. She admits that only "every once in a while" she's "normal and make[s] a normal post." The corollary is that the rest of the time she's abnormal and makes abnormal posts.

MLYLT, be normal more often and people will respond positively more often.

MLYLT is like Michael Jordan, she can not be stopped. She can only be contained.

Actually not that great an analogy, upon reflection it was more like bizarre performance art. I've known several great people with bipolar disorder and none of them would ever behave like this, even during an episode or when having trouble with their meds.


*originally posted "off their meds" but then realized I can only speak for one of them being off his meds once and that was due to financial issues.

Larry Legend - you are 100% right regarding the containment rules and what containment should be. Keep standing firm.

Banned4lyfe - There are a bunch of OOT posters who I consider friends. Some I've met IRL, some not. It's 2017, having internet friends is completely standard these days.

Lol, yeah, I'll get right on having control of my mind and mental illness and be normal.
Why didn't I think of this sooner?

While driving on a rough road yesterday, I heard a clunk and it felt like my front tire blew out. I then realized I had lost steering control of my front driver side and the car pulled to the left hard. My initial reaction was that a tie rod broke, but when I got home to look I saw that the strut had shared and the center rod was missing.
Has anyone ever seen it break like this before?

The thing is MLY, and this is kind of important, we as a collective OOT/2+2/whatever this is shouldn't have to deal with what your current ****ing mental state of the hour is.

And we won't.

Because you've been wilfully ignoring everyone telling you to do so (via consistent therapy and medication). But there's no time like the present to take responsibility for yourself.

Either way, at least now you know why there's posts that you consider "negative" in response to your abnormal posts.
