Alright... (using this thread's alias, just in case)
Spoiler:
For the past few days, I've been really upset about this, but I have nowhere to talk about it.
There's a somewhat infamous poster in the Bestiary threads who apparently has some sort of issue with me. An ugly, misogynistic grudge, or so it seems.
Recently, he posted this - referring to me. It immediately stung me, and it's been digging its way deeper ever since.
It's not the first time, either. Read on from this post. It amazed me how quickly he was able to eat away my happiness at one of the few legitimate compliments I'd ever received.
There's also a now-deleted post (mods never saw it) where he accused me - specifically - of favoriting posts that were negatively reflecting on him... something like "For such a supposedly nice person, you like favoriting posts that hate me" or something. (Should have screencapped it.)
I flagged the first two, and even emailed Chris about it. Nothing. Liz Courts even went into the thread to clean up, and left the most recent one standing. So, apparently this sort of thing is A-OK on the forums.
I can't complain about this on Facebook - two of my six friends are Paizo employees, and it feels unethical to complain within earshot of them. I feel like I'd be taking advantage of our friendship. And, nobody anywhere else cares.
Ever since then, I've dreaded posting on these forums. Just seeing him post makes me feel sick. But, everybody else seems to be OK with it - including the moderators. Which makes me feel even more alone... it's like I'm some sort of freak for being upset by this.
The Paizo staff don't normally come into your domain here, so I figure I can post this without feeling like I'm begging for their attention or making a scene. I did that in my earliest days here, and I'm still ashamed of it.
It's a relief to finally get this out. Thank you for listening.
