I'm beginning to wonder if the created purpose of the Anon post is to like a steam valve, but for actual anger.
If that's true, I'm not sure it works.
Nice try though, maker of it.

Before it gets all swept away in the excitement of the anon post...it probably did already.
Just wanted you to have the opportunity to ask questions about the new rule updates. I know we're all pretty good at obeying the rules. So again. Thanks for making my job easy. I do want to respect your ability to wander. Since I know we're good at that here, too. Consider this a sign out list for being out after dark, and I'll put one on the door, too.

And just like that, we're following rules.

[Rosy]
I tried to be positive for maybe a comment and then ignored the post again.
Maybe next time. Sorry. I hope you weren't doing too much prefecting either.

Yeah, I, uh, found myself arguing about Quidditch and giving unwan and getting creeped out by Anon instead of defending people and advocating for decency. I think overall Operation Let's Be Nice(!!) was a success, even without us. I mean. I haven't seen anyone crying, at least.

Well except maybe the ironing fans, there were some pretty heated discussions about ironing.

Oh, good. I don't feel bad now. I did try. It's just I immediately thought of like five better things I could be doing with my time.

I haven't seen anyone crying either, though, let's call this one a victory. But I don't know who you were talking to about Quidditch, maybe they're crying by now.

Funny.
At least it didn't get steamy.

I always have so many better things to do with my time, and yet I will always find a fight. Though I doubt I made anyone even feel bad about themselves, my claws only barely came out. I was mostly being a positive prefect.

Ferdie. Are we about to get trapped in a vicious cycle of ironing puns? Don't we have more pressing matters to attend to? (Oh god, puns are not my strong suit.)

Fights kind of seem to find you too though. Not your fault.
And I never had doubts.

Can we not, because it'll probably burn us somehow.
(Mine either, but I'm also not sure how to stop.)

Okay, no, we need to stop before we get board of these dumb jokes.

You snuck that one in.
But I'm going to be the bigger person and hang this here. Close it (closet).

Ok now really I'm done

I don't know. Maybe it does work, for some people. Just letting things out in one go with no name attached. No responsibility.

Why not just write that in a journal that can't talk back, then?

I don't know. The simultaneous need for attention, I guess.

I get it, I guess.
But not really, because does it really help when you don't know WHO gets it?

Yep. It doesn't matter who gets it. Nobody's trying to make friends. It matters that you're not alone in your freakdom. Even the assholes operate like that. The more assholes there are, the more comfortable assholes feel about being assholes because they're not alone. It validates you. You don't need a new best friend, you need someone to validate what you already feel.

I think it's good to air out your grievances when you have them, but the anonymity makes people mean.

No, people being mean makes people mean.

Meanness is something you do, it's not something you are.

[info]doyouevenlift
2017-01-29 10:14 pm UTC (link)
Yeah. I know. And I was told my behavior isn't laudable when I tried to explain that theory.

But we got some assholes at this school. If the anon post didn't exist, it doesn't mean bullying would go away.

[info]thingamabobbs

No, probably not. But I bet it's easier for some people to say mean things when they don't have to live with the consequences.

Yeah. If it was just a vent post, where you still had to face the people you were talking to the next day, I guess you wouldn't see as much of that.
Human nature's fun, I guess?

I think there are better ways to deal with anger.

I am not sure it works either, but I tend to skip those parts. After all, I find dueling practice is a much better form of catharsis. Or reading a good book. But of course that is only my opinion.
