Posted: 5/26/2007 10:05:34 PM | Actually, that is true and If they know nothing about you they make some interesting stuff up. As for me, I keep my life apart from the people in the complex I live in except for maybe 2 people. I have lived here for 6 years and many move in and out. And so far because they know nothing gossip about me is; I am a witch practicing magic, I am a vampire, and my best and favorite is I am the leader of a cult and to keep thier husbands away from me because they will fall to the spell of the black magic women... Gossip is for the purpose of thier own amusement and I am more than happy to one day let their gossip seem correct....lol they are little people with nothing in thier lives so they must talk about something...lol as the song goes. "let's give them something to talk about"  | |

Posted: 6/27/2007 4:05:09 PM | Anyone who has lived in a small town can probably relate. I was just a newly separated woman when I hit a deer and my car was written off, lucky for me I was working for a dealership that also had a rental fleet. Each night for the next few weeks I would take whatever was left on the rental lot home and park it in the driveway for the night. .... later at a local diner, I overheard some women chatting at a table a few over about a rumor that was circulating the small town I lived in ..."she has a different one every night".. "omg, there must be a dozen I tell you"....etc...etc....I laughed so hard I nearly spit coffee all the way over to the table it came from. Still makes me grin..  | |

Posted: 7/2/2007 9:03:55 PM | agree with msg # 26 - usually need to be taken with a huge grain of salt... always interesting to hear the other sides take on things, as well as the rumour mill as it goes...amazing what one can accomplish in a very short time from one ear to the hundredth....LOL! usually agree that the people spreading gossip, rumors & lies need to look into their own mirror and life....and get a life...and learn to move on and away from the drama and pettyness that accompanies the above....I disagree with the old saying of " sticks and stones may break your bones " and "words can really hurt the most!". Whether it is some version of the truth or not....look at for example a teacher, if a student who is lying to avoid /get back at something/one, tells that the teacher molested them....it follows them for life...and can ruin lives and careers....so, although it may be meant in jest, people should really think about what they are doing....as it most likely will come back to bite them in the butt sooner or later! JMHO.... | |

Posted: 7/2/2007 9:25:26 PM | i know with rumours and gossip ,,IF YOU JUST LET IT GO!!!! ppl will start to loose interest but if some ppl still like to talk about it then it will never go away.,and who knows where gossip and rumers start thats why they call it rumers and gossip means no proove on where it started, so why dwell on it unless what you hear is true in some sort of way
JMHO on things | |

Posted: 10/23/2008 11:17:52 PM | hmmm....yes, am yet again the proud owner of rumors & gossip about moi.....and agree with what most of the posters have said above, but, when you know for a fact that certain immature people persist on doing this, it gets really annoying!(Ask even the most well known people on earth) Not because there is anything that they say that matters, but that others listen to it , and spread it.....and you know the original story is never the same as the last one you heard. It can be very hurtful and very nasty to the one that they are being spread about. It definitely comes with online networking....but, the end result is the same, a thread of minor truth with a whole lot of lies mixed in! And people generally would rather hear juicy gossip & lies, than the boring truth any day....hence why certain papers, magazines & paparrazzi make such a good living today....and, it is usually very cruel & nasty....but, I do believe in what goes around comes around, and karma is a beitch! I just wish sometimes that these bottom dwellers would learn to shut the fck up & get a life like the rest of us average folks! But, one day it will come & bite them in the a_ss and they will enjoy their 15 sec of fame! But, I guess halloween is a great time for these losers, cause they can be their normal, creepy selves....have fun folks! Nasty begets nasty! Actuallyl feel sorry for people that can lead no quality lives.....sad , very sad! Sometime you just have to stand up and say : stop, enough.....jmho! | |

Posted: 10/24/2008 1:55:58 AM | hmmmmmm Yes that has been something that has been happening more so over the last couple of years more so than any other time here on POF. Rumours usually designed to create animosity to eliminate competition or to create doubts of someone to increase the others popularity.
The best way though is to not respond and let it be shown as undisturbing or otherwise you are feeding their purpose and intentions.
Ignoring the situation usually bothers them more.
Sorry to hear that it is your turn . The strange part is that they normally leave their trademarks along the way so others end up finding out who constantly creates
the rumours ,etc..But at times they tend to get others to do it so as to throw the emphasis
off of them.
What goes around comes around.

Posted: 10/24/2008 2:15:19 AM | you are right sir looking, but, sometimes, you have to take a stand for what is right & true, and stop the rumors.....and, there comes a time when it just becomes a bit tiresome and annoying like the mesquito in your ear! and eventually you have to squash it.....as small as it is! lol! I feel that by others listening & feeding into it, it is kind of like when people are ganged up on, and no one wants to step in and say hey, this is wrong.....they perpetuate the crime rather than stop it! It does happen, and by people stopping it in its tracks, sometimes if enough people say stop already......they might get the picture.....or not, as these types of people tend to be like the bottom dwellers in the ocean, feeding off the crap of others.....to get by, as they arent good enough to be with the the upper crust....so to speak. And yes, what goes around does come around.  | |

Others have stepped in before on here and said enough is enough .But don t let the rumour mongers get the best of ya.
Some people thrive on the fact that you could be bothered by rumours that they create usually for their benefit.
And yes sometimes the mosquito is smaller than it thinks it is.
On here it is different because the nucleus of those on here that let them selves be known is so so so much smaller than what is really on here.
There are more eyes watching on here than the agitators think there are.
It is just like SOME events that are organised ;how many really attend compared to how many could attend.There are Thousands of members but why is it just Dozens that attend a busy event at the best of times.They judge it on who attends ,who the gossip mongers are or agitators are that are attending or by those trying to dissuade others from other events. And it is not the organisers necessarily but those attending or those trying to get others not to.
Many view and interpret what takes place.And some do not want to deal with the politics when they just want to have fun.The point being don't let any of it bother you as there is more to life than just this.
Seems to be more so here in Calgary than other areas though.
Just don t know why ?But could guess. But assumption gets us into trouble .
Enough said .Good luck. | |

Posted: 10/24/2008 4:27:22 PM | hmmm... interesting thoughts....but, say for instance, if it was a man and another man was dissing him & spreading rumors & such that would ruin his reputation at work....there would be stuff hitting the fan....and everyone would agree that it is right that he stepped in and settled it.....but, if it is females.....they are just being silly....I think it is all a matter of perspective, and who it is affecting sometimes! but, it is better to leave those bottom dwellers to their own devices, as they wont change anyways....jmho.... | |

Posted: 10/24/2008 4:38:56 PM | Back in September 06, one of the few dates I've had through this site told me that two different people told her to be careful around me as I already had someone. After that, both I and Ladybug (the supposed someone) put "not dating her/him" comments at the bottom of our profiles. "A man CAN have female friends."
It bothered me. I'm a stickler for the truth. | |

Posted: 10/25/2008 6:01:03 PM | Yes I am also stickler for the truth myself. Some rumours are started by people that have no lives. So they start their owen self pity comments on what they really are! and who they really are by relating their stories on others . It is true that what goes around comes around and the truth always rises to the top. Also, people should realize that others cause there own grief. I know someone one this site who continues to try and contact me even thou I don't want anything to do with IT (her) she continues to use drama for a means occupying her time. Too Bad she wants others to grow up when in fact it is her that needs to step forward and move on. Life is short and some people memories are even shorter!!! I hope everyone learns that usually when others start mouthing it is to try to get any kind of attention even negative. I do personally feel there is help throu other means than putting their dirty laundry on this site. HAVE A GREAT TIME ON POF AND ENJOY THE POSITIVE!!!

That is the one thing about online forums, people can have a say and they are free to do so.
Whether people can have a say and are free to do so in online forums depends on the thread. I heard a rumour that some hosts of parties tend to get delete happy if they don't like the POFer who posts in their party thread. They tend to powertrip because they are the host and go delete crazy. Woohoo - way to get people to sign up for events. | |

Posted: 10/26/2008 6:37:31 PM | The wheels of POF go round and round.
Better to ignore rumours, I suppose.
I know I have been much more enlightened since I started this thread over a year ago. I take everything I hear with a grain of salt. I try to figure out people on my own by people watching, following their posts and getting to know people, not by what people say about each other.
Much like at work, one shouldn't listen to gossip and it's better to change the subject if someone tries to reel you in to their silliness.

Posted: 10/28/2008 2:02:12 PM | | 2 up ( not sure what duffster was referring to in June) ....and, with some people, they choose to leave the bs, games & drama they find , not because they arent truthful or honest, but rather because in some experiences they have found too many folks that are into that, and arent what they appear to be. And some people prefer to listen to the one side of a story, rather than either ignoring it or actually finding out the real or whole story. You will meet all kinds online, like I have said before, the good , the bad & the ugly. I guess some are kind of like wolves in sheeps clothing....to each their own. Life continues and some of us move on cause life is too short to listen to the rumors & gossip....and choose instead to live our lives with honesty & integrity. | |

The pond's still an interesting place though none-the-less, with quite the diverse cross-section of society, giving many different perspectives that one might not have even though about. | |
