Misguiding?? I think not!

The truth about most of JU’s teen bloggers

Published on August 2, 2004 By Death_By_Beebles In Current Events

So... I’ve heard a few things. About JU’s teen bloggers. Quite honestly, I’m hurt and upset by the fact that some of the most talented, intelligent people on JU would lump us all together and call us “not true”, as if we are the most horrible people in the world who lie about everything just to get a kick out of it. If you think about it, I don’t see why you would do this to us! We aren’t all bad!

I myself am “true” in the sense that I actually am who I say I am. I don’t create senseless drama. I don’t hurt other people’s feelings intentionally. I am who I say I am. I haven’t changed anything to not offend someone, I haven’t changed who I am for anyone on JU. I AM REAL!

Wonderful bloggers like carebear07, Capt. Cornbread, and Zoologist03 all get shunted by these broad terms and slander. These individuals constantly put out informative, humorous, insightful, and just generally good articles for a JU audience that seems to be less accepting because of a few bad eggs.

Prejudice? Why?

Misguiding? I think not!!! Keep it real, and think about the individual, not the group.

Peace,

Beebes

Gene,

It's OK to use my name in connection with the QUESTIONING of certain joeusers. I want to point out, though, I was asking questions, questions that, given the nature of what had just gone on, were worth asking.

Carebear and Beebles, in my mind, you've answered my questions adequately. The fact that neither of you (nor apdelong, zoologist, beebles, etc). "ran and hid" as did the offender, tells me what I was hoping to find out. I apologize for offending you, but I am hoping you understand why I asked the questions I did (after all, Captain was romantically linked with this individual; my questions only came about when it was pointed out that everyone in capt's circle of friends went to school together).

I think the article you're looking for is actually "Something MORE Rotten in the State of Denmark" - which I initially thought was going to be about Princess Mary -- anyway

Link -- it didn't last very long but it got people thinking about whether Ashlee had made up more characters - including Capt Cornbred and Carebear - which would suggest she'd infact created her own love triangle.

The people who've been around more then the last couple of months knew that it wasn't the first time Ashlee had claimed to be something she wasn't - she even apologised for it in her the truth revealed in a new light blog -- people are just a little wary at the moment - People got burned - like you Beebes and people are still reeling a bit.

Gene,

I wasn't sure it was appropriate. Actually, I was so queasy about it I had come back to cut everything from "what carebear was questioning" to "just don't make any sudden moves," but you had already responded.

In retrospect it came off to even me like I was finger pointing, which hadn't been my intent.

Maybe I should still cut it? It serves no positive purpose.

By the way, chasing it around, trying to find out who said what and who said it originally is probably counter productive.

Sorry - you guys both posted while I was typing and searching for the link

Carebear has every right to feel the way she does. Being accused of something you didn't do incites rage, horror, sorrow, pain, and many more emotions

I am very well aware of that, and you're right. Statments like that just make you sound...well, childish, and I don't think that you want that. If she had said 'look, that really pisses me off that people would do that and I'm going to find out who said it and give them what for'...I wouldn't have said 'oh please'.

Sorry if I upset you, carebear. it wasn't my intention.

More than anyone else, you (should) understand that one of your "friends" hurt a lot of people around here with her "baby dying" story. She had Trina writting heartfelt prayer, Janders offering to send cards, Dharma knitting, everyone was concerned and literally loosing sleep over it. But the baby wasn't real. And yet, you continue to have innane conversations with her on your/her blog as if nothing has happened. No offense, but what about that is confusing? Why wouldn't you think that people would lump you into the same category as her? Might not seem fair to you, but life rarely is!

Yes i know. I believed her too. And after I found out that it was a lie it kinda made me very angry too. But I'm just trying to prove that not all of us teens on here are lying about ourselves. Sorry if I sounded like I was going crazy earlier, but it just made me mad that everyone was saying that oh since Ashlee lied all of the teens on ju are liers too.

I can apologize for my fellow teens. I can turn the other cheek. Please don't assault carebear for her emotion. Her heart is in the right place, even if her words weren't.

Awww....thanks Alex!!

Sorry if I upset you, carebear. it wasn't my intention.

It's ok Dharma. I'll forgive you.

And I'm sorry if I sounded childish to anyone on here. It just upset me that people thought we were all liers and such and that we were made up or w/e. So again, I'm sorry.

Ok, I wasn't going to reply or anything because I KNOW I've probably got the largest bit of guilt by association that any of us have. I've already created stress with some people through my recent article that I'm not going to mention because it shouldn't be.

Anyways, I don't seriously think that anyone of us should be considered guilty of being "evil" little teens. I can understand why everyone would be upset but honestly, from the looks of things, zoologist, carebear, and myself didn't even know about the problems.

All I know is that people are hurt so you decide to just blame a whole group of people. I wouldn't recomend doing that for long... History proves that to be a bad choice.

Capt. over and out!

Yeah, but does anyone have the answer to why they usually blame us? Humm....I'm thinking maybe that question will get answered on my blog i just put out five minutes ago after you got off Capt.
