Who is This Laine Thursday Girl And Why Should We Care (We Shouldn't)

Posted on 20:37 by thor
I've been seeing a lot of screaming and ranting on RP Thieves about Quit Roleplay being deleted and the Laine Thursday scandal. What is going on? Who is Laine Thursday? I'm not really sure that who she is is important. What is important is the drama fueling cyclone around her and how it is destroying the Story Form community as a whole.

Laine Thursday is a Pen Name For a Pink-Haired Girl
This is Laine Thursday. She has pink hair and a tongue ring and that is all I know for sure. She may actually be a perfectly nice person who has gotten on the bad side of some mean-spirited people. I don't know.  


Laine Thursday is a girl who allegedly is a bad celeb RP player who has been in conflict with other players for harassing them. She switches usernames and pseudonyms and yet she somehow reveals herself to be the same crazy person. This is all alleged because I have never encountered the girl and don't care to.

More Annoying Are the Warnings About Laine Thursday
Quit Roleplay was flooded by repeated posts about Laine Thursday. The girl posting about her claims that she just wants to warn people, but either we're going to see her posts or not and it doesn't matter if every post on the page is about her. Flooding a community with warnings about Laine constitutes SPAM.

So when the offending journal was blocked from QRP, the user, who apparently had gotten in with the mods under another journal, hijacked the QRP community and deleted it before starting her own exclusively to rant about Laine Thursday.

I don't care how crazy this pink-haired Laine chick is, that's way more crazy.

You Can't Claim Someone Is Stalking You if You Keep Taunting Them On the Internet
If you keep posting about someone on the internet, warning people not to play with them, that's like asking for them to come out of hiding and defend themselves. If you really want the drama to end, DROP IT. Don't keep talking about her where she has no choice but to say something.

Further, the users involved in this drama claim that she has contacted them at work, but they are on The Dirty posting personal information about where she lives and what her house and kids and cats are like. Who is the stalker?

The user who was freaking out about Laine Thursday has a ridiculously long post in a journal about how Laine keeps claiming she is trying to end the conflict. The point is supposed to be that each letter claims she will leave them alone, but then another letter follows. The point I'd like to make is that between these letters are countless publics warnings to other players about Laine Thursday, trying to ostracize her from the Story Form community.

In real life if you ran around taking out newspaper ads to warn women in your hometown not to date your ex-boyfriend, you would be the crazy one.


The Point Is That You Can't Protect The Whole Internet, So Don't Try
It's a waste of your time and energy to run around every roleplaying community on the internet to make sure that every user is warned of drama and by doing that  you are actually perpetuating the drama.

It may not seem like it, but if you ignore a drama llama long enough, they will stop. It may take a week, it may take a month, but eventually with no response they will give up. It will be boring. Instead of running around trying to warn people about Laine Thursday, DELETE HER COMMUNICATIONS AND FORGET IT. Don't even post them somewhere for a laugh, just delete them and save yourself the stress.

Warning the whole internet about someone is just too damn much work!
