Can someone clear this mystery up for me?


I need someone to explain to me about witchy44's hostile attitude towards me. In her blog about everyone being nice at heart (ironic given how she's treating me), I happened to agree with something Maisie said. Witchy44 went ballistic and I wrote:

Sorry to hear about your husband and . The part that I loved about Maisie's answer was about freedom of speech, that's all. That's why I referred to the latter. I wasn't referring to the part about you saying you are leaving. I am sorry if you took me agreeing with Maisie as a personal attack. I will always agree with Freedom of Speech as long as hatred isn't being promoted.

After that, she wrote something nasty and everything I wrote since, she deleted. That leaves me no choice but to write it on a blog of mine. PLEASE explain to me why she is acting this way.

I find it interesting that the first blog of hers I read and responded to was about her granddaughter giving birth and I wished them well and she never responded to that. Also, it all started with me reading a blog of hers that said she is leaving. If she left, how come she started a post about banning me? Is her threatening to leave some sort of game? That's very strange to me.

Her last words to me:

shuel...I don't know who you are, don't really care.You seem to have a bee in your bonnet about me, you have every right.

But I'm not going to humour you...you really need to do your homework, Your personal opinions are yours, I have my own...Thank you very much, Have a good day..leave me alone...I'm not getting into a pissing contest with you.

I understand that but my comment about agreeing with what Maisie said was about the latter part regarding freedom of speech. I didn't make any comments regarding her doing a post about leaving. I explained that but it made no difference to witchy44.

SSF is a cross section of the population. As such everyone has their own boundaries. Most respect them even of they disagree. A few try to challenge them. I did not read your comments and found offensive but as a general rule of social interaction it's best to respect an individual's boundaries whether we share them or not or even understand them. Not every one agrees and if we disagree with someone it's best to respect their choices and move on to others that are a better fit.

    Elaine I saw her post and knew she was referring to you--I like both of you and as so often happens misunderstandings run rampant on this site-- she's dealing with some health issues so just send your positive thoughts get way -- that everything will go well
I do wish her well. I realize she has misunderstood what I agreed to on her blog but I tried to set her straight. She refuses to listen to what I wrote.

I agree with you but usually when there is a disagreement, BOTH parties know what they are disagreeing about. Here I am clueless and I wanted to know what she's angry about.

    "Why?" is rarely a fruitful question on this site when trying to understand behaviour.........better to just let it go and keep on writing.......apparently it's something you love to do......
You're probably right but I was truly hoping that someone could get to the bottom of why she's angry so we could try to work it out.

    Shuel, I really wouldn't take it to heart.There are people who are just attention seekers. To write a blog to say she has banned you is a good example. If you are mean enough to do that, then do it but don't tell everybody about it.
Wow, I just looked at blogs and see you meant witchy44's new post about banning me. I didn't know about that. Someone said I had a grudge against her from long ago. That's untrue. I didn't know her until blogging here this past week. I'm sorry that some referred to me as "toxic". Does anyone realize that all I did was agree with Maisie's post, when she got upset with me? I didn't realize that agreeing with someone can lead to such a vicious response. I am new to blogging here and I guess I've made some serious errors in judgment. I'm now a little gun shy about who I can or cannot agree with. For the record, I haven't banned witchy44. I was hoping (I knew it was a long shot), she'd see the sincerity of my desire to clear up this misunderstanding and work with me. I do appreciate the support some of the people on this site have given me and patches2014, I really appreciated what you wrote on her blog. Thank you.

Early on in SFF I was tossed out of a group room. It was the old 'she said that he said that she said that she said..[you get the picture].

It's easy to say, "Just move on." ...... but it bothered me until I could get the issue straightened out, so I know how you're feeling.

I'm a lover, not a fighter!

I've wanted that throughout. I tried reasoning with her on her blog but got nowhere. I asked her point blank to tell me why she is upset. All that it took to get her angry is that I agreed with Maisie about freedom of speech. Read her blog and you'll see that I didn't say anything "toxic" as some expressed on her blog about banning me. I also never knew her until this past week and hold no grudge against her from before. I simply agreed with something another member said. Just remember that the same thing could happen to you and to anyone else, and to me, that's worrisome to have to be concerned about who I agree with on this site.
Spirit's advice is correct though but I'd be dishonest if I didn't say the comments on witchy44's blog about banning me is hurtful.

Thanks for understanding. Yes, I just wanted to clear up the obvious misunderstanding but it takes 2. I wish witchy44 well, regarding the health issues I found out later that she was having. There's nothing more I could do.

Wow, she really doesn't stop. She just put up yet another blog thanking Leaf and saying about banning me.

My goal in this post was to have witchy44 tell me her issue. It's not going to happen so that's life. I would be done with it but witchy keeps going on and on. A half hour ago approximately she added yet another post about it, thanking leaf. Will she ever stop?

I saw that she removed the blog about thanking Leaf today. That's good.

I thought that too RosesLady but she refuses to talk to me and banned me. I am a standard member and can't write her and even if I did, based on her deleting anything I said after she had her say, it would be useless. For the record, I'd be very happy to clear things up. I even apologized to her because something (I can't figure out what) obviously offended her but she wouldn't accept my apology.
