I have been here for a while now. I have been surfing the
SMC for 3 years now, and have been a webmistress for
1 1/2 of those years. When I decided to become a
webmistress I made *one* cardinal rule for myself:
Be nice to everyone.
I didn't want to be one of those people who replied to
every email with some snide remark. I mean, I was
doing this to have fun doing what I love, and hopefully
make a few friends along the way. As the old saying goes,
you attract more bees with honey than with vinegar. So, I
wanted to be nice and open.
It was about 4 months after I opened WAR when I started
making friends with other SMC webmasters/mistresses over
ICQ. They contacted
me over ICQ or we met in chats, and it was really cool!
Some of them were even pretty well known people, like
Skeeter, Mara K, and Sailor
Callisto (Suzers ^_~). They were all really nice and down
to earth, and before long we became pretty good friends. It
was excellent!
But then, a few months later....it started.
Suck up.
Ass Kisser.
Elitist.
Bitch.
WHAT?! What did *I* do? I don't remember sucking up to
anyone! I mean, I dont remember juding people by their
'reps'. I never
refused anyone (except for *really* creepy people) my ICQ
number. It's even up on my site now! I like manking
friends!
Since when did being friendly equal sucking up?
I still don't understand.
I was nice to everyone, and still some people *hate* me?
Why? What have I done? I've tried to be nothing but nice.
Since when
is this sucking up?
Since when?
I'd like to know why some people see me as such an evil,
conniving person. What did I do? It hurts me to think that
you would
consider me a bitch because I am......nice to people.
