I'm addressing this to you, Tilly, since you responded to my original post. But TZA said it better than I ever could.

Jen might very well be all the things she's been labeled as, but that doesn't justify the actions of others who prod at her.
And yes, I'm using you as an example, Tilly. I can't find the post where you said this, but I do recall you saying something to the effect of Jen's behavior having exempted her from deserving to be treated decently and how you were
perfectly okay with doing whatever you could to push her buttons.
Admit it or not, Tilly, that is equivalent to poking a caged animal with a sharp stick in order to laugh and point out it when it growls back and tries to get at you but can't. It's wrong, and pointing to Jen's past actions is nothing more than a thinly veiled attempt on your part to excuse your own infantile behavior by saying, basically, 'she did it first, she deserves it!'.

Jen's behavior does not excuse yours.

It *is* wrong to continue this nonsense. Jen's actions notwithstanding, they are no reason for anyone else to act just as immature and small-minded.

Please note that I'm just as guilty of perpetuating the bullshit as anyone else. However, as I already said, I've taken a good long look at my actions, and I'm not proud of the part I played in this at all. I have been acting like a twelve year old by attempting to incite Jen's anger, and frankly, Tilly, that's exactly how old you act when you attempt to bait Jen.

Because it's wrong, I'm not going to take part in it any longer. But you are mistaken if you honestly think I'm going to shut up and bow out, Tilly. For the very reason that it is wrong, and *you* are wrong, I'm going to say so.
