So you thought you could write those nasty things about me on the Craigslist rants and raves and it wouldn't get back to me? Brah, this is Maui. Everything gets back to everyone. Lucky I converted to Buddhism last year and am now fully nonviolent. The old me would have tracked your scrawny ass down and given you one good lickin.' Next time you got something to say, say it to my face rather than the computer. Maybe we could even have a discussion and figure it out. You know, like adults?

Some people just vent..constantly

Some people just go through life venting. Complaining, that is. They turn everyone they meet into their counselor, or agony aunt, or whatever. And they are everyone's victim.

First, they complain to you. Then, when you don't give them what they want, they start complaining about you. You are just there for them, one way or another, whether you like it or not.

Like, I got tired of going to Maui Farmers Union meetings just for that reason. A "certain person" just can't stop complaining and talking smack about..well, everybody. Although, certain people are favorite topics. Wow, every once in a while we do come across a professional victim, don't we? So, I just set the limit. I won't talk with her or listen to her anymore. So I figure, now I'll be the one to get complained about.

MFU WTF?
"like adults" hits the nail on the head

yeah, half the people on the island know that crazy lady at the Maui Farmer's Union. What a piece of work. Everyone who's met her knows she fucking crazy. it is hard to know where the whining ends and the demands and accusations start

look, the bottom line is, people like your craig's list friend and this crazy lady (the same person???) are losers. An adult with a issue can deal with it in an appropriate manner.

Or can they?

People write all kinds of bad things about others online. I just had this happen to me by some dude on Maui. Using the internet and no bawls to meet you face to face. But you know what, your better than him and who really cares. If someone will judge you for what the read about you on the internet, then they don't need to be your friend. Period.
