Help[Opinions] Oh honestly.
in reply to a message by Isla
Come on. Yeah. She's lying. It's pretty obvious. We have established that.
What I don't understand is where you guys get off on oppressing her so much about it. I can understand being a little angry that she's lying and cluttering up valuable board space, and I know that you are all very proud of not letting age enter into the way you treat people. But really. You are GROWN WOMEN picking on a ~13 year old. Does it REALLY make you feel that clever, that you can back her into a corner, tear apart her feeble arguments, and insist upon the last word? I hope you all feel really secure about the fact that you can identify young and naive trolls, and that you're way smarter and better than they are. But you're all coming off to me like a cruel gang of pretentious middle-schoolers.
Edited for clarity.

I feel like I was being more than nice to her when I encouraged her to tell the truth. She decided to keep up the ruse. I think it's far crueler to let her go on with her obvious lies. I don't like to enable that.
You are entitled to respond how you see fit, as are we. If you think we're being pretentious (?) and childish, so be it. I disagree.

ditto
Although it is very obvious that she's not really a pregnant 23 year old. Not that I'm going to argue with her. She's probably my age!

I don't know if it is really as cruel as you make it out to be. Many posts have been stopped simply by notifying the poster that everyone knows she's a faker and the faker has then quit their faking and have become great members of the board. She just isn't one who is going to quit and will continue to break the rules of the board and therefore the posters that you call a "gang" are likely trying to just get her to leave the board so that she will not bog up the boards with useless posts about fake children which will continually turn into arguments. It is better just to stop it all know. 'Nip it in the bud' so to speak.

I think Eden did it quite sufficiently. I don't think a bunch of smart-ass comebacks are necessary.

Agreed, smart-ass comebacks are not necessary, but when more than one person states their displeasure it shows there is a general consensus and not just one person stating their displeasure. If only one person voices and people continue to reply to the questions asked in her post then she will likely not take the warning seriously.

Oh, I agree.
I was a bit soft the first time, but yeah. I think if a lot of people said "You're lying and everybody knows it" and left it at that, she would be sufficiently intimidated.
