Food for thought...
I’ve been shown that contemplatingoutlander is once again playing the victim, vilifying me, and doing what she does best--manipulating people to believe that what she’s done can be justified or excused. And that my, and other people’s, responses to her are overreactions and unwarranted. I don’t want to belabor this. I’ll try to be as concise as possible, but I’m wordy so I can’t make any promises. :-)
I offer you this. If it were just Paul and I who were angry with how CO treated us, or the libelous things she said about us, or her verbal abuse in DMs, then I could see coming to the conclusion that perhaps there is a personal vendetta against her that is out of proportion to what she’s done. But it’s NOT just Paul and I. It’s MANY other Non-Shippers who have had similar negative experiences with her and want nothing to do with her. How bad do things have to be with her that people literally have to BLOCK her? Not simply unfollow her, but block her. That’s not just a disagreement or a difference of opinion, that’s literally a person being so angry, fed up or actually, scared, that they want to prevent any contact from her. Please stop and think about that. It’s not just me or Paul, it is the MAJORITY on this side on Tumblr. And worse, people who were friends with her. Think about what could have been SO bad that her friends have her blocked. Again, logic would dictate that things have happened behind the scenes that people don’t know about. And that CO doesn’t want anyone to know about.
Shippers and shipper sympathizers are a lost cause, but for those of you on this side who can’t understand the vitriol against CO. Instead of falling for CO’s manipulations that I’m the bully or what I say about her is out of proportion to what she says about me. Isn’t it more logical that it’s not that what CO has done to the rest of us isn’t that bad, it’s that you don’t know the full story...and also, that she hasn’t done it to you.
To take her side without knowing everything that has transpired is to basically say that the REST OF US Non-Shippers are lying. Or that you don’t care enough to want to know the truth. So, I may have to start parting ways with some people. I don’t want fake friends. She is the abusive one, she is the bully, she is the master manipulator. If you think I’m lying about that, then I don’t need you as a friend or follower. If you haven’t seen what I and MANY other Non-Shippers have seen with regard to CO, consider yourself manipulated. Simple as that.
