I’m considering leaving the Xangaforever group on FB. So many people whining, complaining, bitching… just a big reminder of childish middle and high school drama. Even the name of the group now seems ironic with the kinds of detractors who occupy it.
Something that made me laugh so hard (out of sheer response to their ignorance) is how replying to a supporter of the Xanga fundraiser that people need to cool it is, “Freedom of speech. If you don’t like it, GTFO.” I laugh because the person who said it thinks that their opinion is worth more than the other. Freedom of speech works both ways. So, my exercising of freedom of speech to your freedom of speech is fuck your opinion and your use of freedom of speech.
Nowadays, people are looking for more opportunities to throw someone under the bus. It’s a crying shame, really. You have people who care deeply for a cause, doing whatever they can to save something that means so much to others and themselves. Then you have people who only wish to take these supporters’ faces and rub it in the mud. For the sake of what? This “ill-conceived notion of self righteousness that exists nowhere else except in your own little world?”
When humanity falls apart, I don’t want to be a part of it. You find me instead carrying as many people as I can until they can get on their own feet again and thus pay it forward.

Right on target!
It bothers me as well. I posted something nice last night!
Xanga foreverrrr.
There are really some angry & bitter people here and they’ve gotten even angrier now that Xanga is moving on to 2.0. I’m glad there are people like you still here.
If humanity falls apart, I would like to have you in my party.
@Roadlesstaken - If there’s gonna some celebrating, I’d rather be with you and Ben then at the pity party of those others.
I’m with @roadlesstaken on this one.
I left a long time ago. Now I want back in so I can see the drama.
The Xangaforever group thought it was cool to brag about having no rules or structure, and now they’re paying the price. Got to love it, heh.
If humanity falls apart, I want in on your party . . . unless your name is Donner.
I left that group yesterday. Couldn’t stand the negativity in my Facebook feed anymore. I haven’t felt this kind of relief since unfriending Dear Ricky and his fan girls a few years ago.
Can’t we all just get along?
I have no idea what is going on behind the scenes in Xanga team… and frankly, neither does ANYBODY who isn’t on the Xanga team. Do I have some question marks, definitely. But the amount of rage on there is absolutely nuts. In one way, I’m glad I found that group because I ended up meeting some people that I might not have met, and in a way, it rekindled the spark for Xanga in me since I haven’t been active on this site in years. But at the same time… I’m not really sure what those people are expecting.
Here’s to hoping Xanga 2.0 is a success. I’ll ride it as long as it lasts.
I deactivated my fb for almost 2 months now…i dont have any idea whats going on there…
Xanga drama is entertaining. Keyboard warriors! /eats popcorn.
Some people don’t feel alive unless they’re sneering at something.
i really don’t understand all the drama. at all. i don’t go into the group often though.
I can’t be part of that group because it brings out the cynical business side of me and I thought I smashed that into the ground when I decided not to get my MBA.
I agree. It’s gotten out of control.
I admit to being a “detractor”, but I’ve laid out my reasons for that and I see no reason to be nasty about it. that said, I have the xanga groups muted so they don’t hit my feed. if i want to see what is going on there I can look, otherwise i choose not to be bothered.
i want to join for the lolz :>
@saintvi - The Dear Ricky stuff was high-drama. The FB group must be truly, truly toxic to be compared to that.
