And now it's all gone pear-shaped and the list members involved are angry with me and I don't know what to do...

*whimper*

do you need any help, dear?

I need Kleenex. I need the mods with more experience (preferably the one who's a psychlogist) to come and help me out, or at least reassure me that I'm not some monster out of 1984 like I'm being accused of. I need people to have not replied to some evangelist idiot spam. I need a thicker skin. I need A. to realise that the whole damn thing wasn't aimed at him, that it was in fact aimed at someone else, and that I'm just trying to do my job, and to realise that I'm really not trying to make it worse. I need to stop crying in a public computer lab, because sooner or later someone's gonna see me, even if I am on the corner computer away from everyone. I need someone else on the list, anybody, to email me offlist and tell me that I'm not making all the wrong decisions. I want someone to realise that I've spent the past twenty-four hours worrying about this whole thing even though I'm in exams because I don't want anyone to get hurt, and the past seven glued to my computer because I know people are going to want explanations. I want people to remember that I'm just doing my job, and that the mods, all of us, work really hard trying to keep things friendly, and that it's not easy.

What the hell am I supposed to do now?

Take a day off and recuperate. You've put a 24-hour embargo on ranting, you've done your job. And if you want me to intercede in any way, I'm more than happy.

Take care of yourself, Em :)

I think - I'm not sure, but I think - that it will calm down now. One of the members involved has started 'INFP-free' where (according to the group description_ "discussion is encouraged, unlike infp-general"... *sigh* We encourage FRIENDLY discussion - and it wasn't.

He invited me to join, as I made a post in the religious discussion (actually arguing astrophysics, but never mind)... this amuses me a little.

Another one has been kind enough to start a 'safe' thread that people will respond to, and via offlist email we've reached understanding.

Another one's just ignoring me, which at least means he's not attacking me.

Well, there's always one sad petty git And if it wasn't for one of those, we wouldn't have 20-somethings. It does seem to be calming down - I'll cross my fingers for you, and let me know if you want me to randomly debate with someone to distract them :)

Lol - thanks. I did wind up joining, mainly because I want to see if they say nasty things about me. *is morbidly curious*

Gods, not a debate. Even a debate about... cheese... could turn ugly.
