Chat trouble -.-

0

So, yesterday Yuri an I were on IRC. Now, we would normally start chatting straight away, but Yuri needed to tidy her room. So I start telling her to clean her room (on IRC) and she'll get a spanking otherwise. Some other people giggled and got involved, one person bribing Yuri with candy (to get her to stay up! bad boy! :p) and others telling her to listen to me.

Now...I'll admit maybe we made the 'rp' a bit too long and exclusive (although I don't really count it as an RP; I really did want her to tidy her room and I WAS gonna punish her if she didn't) but if anyone else had been doing it when I was there, I would either have giggled or not cared.

But somebody (we'll call her Z) decided she simply couldn't stand looking at/reading our conversation, it was that offensive. Apparently she forgot how to not read...or heck, even IGNORE certain pieces of writing... but anyway...

I guess I understand her complaint...kinda...not really, I still think she was wrong, but...I din't wanna cause trouble. I said 'ok, buht I'm not really sure what you're annoyed by, hun?' she replied ': Mama C pooped herself....what makes u think people want to read that?' (or something similar).

Now...usually I would have pointed out that wasn't even part of the 'RP', it was Yuri making a silly comment. It was a joke. It had no bearing on any of the other stuff we said. If Z was so affronted by the things we said, she was presumably reading all of the chat (because otherwise, surely she would have just skipped 'irrelevant' chat like that between me and Yuri). That's weird, because after that comment, some people laughed, I pointed out Yuri was lying and we had a jokey conversation... Then I asked Yuri to go do her chores again (she refused on the grounds she was having fun, so I put her in time out).

That was about when Z butted in. And...Yuri got very upset...IDK...very upset. She overreacted, but I think she was right. I just wish she'd calmed down a little, because she wasn't really helping by getting so angry and being insulting and everything, cos it puts people on the defensive. Proud of her for standing up for herself, of course, but I just feel there was a better way to do it.

Long story short; I now feel VERY angry, when I didn't feel that mad at all before. I am seething with rage...the only problem is I don't know if I'm in the right or how everyone else feels about it...if everyone's saying 'WTF that was insane what Yuri said!' or if they're like 'Z should take a chill-pill' :/ So...I have no idea...

Sighs and shrugs,
