What? I hardly ever see any posts about you. (Unless they are in the TS threads, which is common) If I like the post, it's because there is something in the comment I agreed with. Your obsession with who is liking comments is a bit paranoid...and the jump to victimization over a disagreement is, as well. 

I haven't made a reply to any of your comments in ages. The only reason I replied to this one is because you were painting a picture of a reality that simply doesn't exist for the majority of teens and young adults that frequent this forum. Of course, there will always be exceptions, but your observation did not speak to the reality of the majority.

You liked a very negative one about me fairly recently and it wasn't in a Taylor thread. I've been over this with another member and they agreed to stop hitting the like button on any comments that contained mean and negative things said about another user, particularly if said user is someone they're ok with. Liking a comment, if it contains something mean about another member, changes the whole message in your choice to like it. Whenever I see anyone liking anything negative said about me, I interpret it as "Yeah, bash that person! I don't like them either!" It really brings me down when I see people effectively joining in and supporting the negativity. It's my personal policy not to like any comments that contain mean things about another member, even if I agree with them. While I think the whole 'promote online kindness' thing is sometimes taken too far to the point where any kind of debate is discouraged, I think it certainly has a place. But clearly, not everyone can be so nice. Unless I agree with everything someone says in a post, I won't like it because liking it implies that I agree with everything that was said.

No, you haven't replied to any of my comments in a long time, but I remember anyone who likes negative posts about me frequently. It's hardly being paranoid when you can see at the bottom of a comment who has liked it. Your name's hard to miss when it's one of only 3 people who have liked it especially. Just be aware that we can see who's liked negative stuff about us and I take it as a way to subtely reinforce how you really feel about someone without actually confronting them.

Haha, my mum was a teenager in the early 90s, and she used to sneak to a friends house and read Madonna's Sex book. Our parents were probably worse than us, because they still had to hide it to an extent--sexual expression wasn't as free back then (especially for women).

I was a kid in the 90's and while we were hardly innocent, our execution of doing naughty things was a whole lot more innocent. Very few of us had the internet back then, which automatically kept us a whole lot more sheltered. As internet culture has expanded, minds have got dirtier and dirtier because it's easier to look up anything you might have heard that you don't know about and can stumble across stuff you never planned on. My aunt's a primary school teacher and she says the inappropriate behaviour and discussion from kids now is at a frightening level that it never used to be.

Ummm, she's been everywhere the past 7 or 8 years. Where have you been? People are sick to death of her and her overexposure. 

You're the only one that seems to be sick to death or her... Kety fan? Lmao

Keep it

Can't wait. No one quite promotes like the Queen of Promo... TSwift. 

[Lucas 27,184]

Hope it's true, I loved 1989 so much. However I think she should wait until the hate bandwagon against her is less strong

[LaLuna 12,732]

Oh great, can't wait to hear her song about how Tom Hiddleston dumped her like a used tampon 

[Illuminati 15,922]

it's sadly not going to be pop i think. maybe something like Red but representing what's currently popular.

unless she manages to turn this trend around and save pop music

I don't even know what to say about all this, tbh. I'm fully aware that others can see if I like a message, and I am perfectly fine with the likes I give. I find it rather unusual that who likes your comments affects you to the extent that you keep track of it and point it out frequently...and yes, I think it's paranoid and quite obsessive.

I keep track of it mentally. I have a great memory for stuff that doesn't matter. And maybe you don't care about what others think of you but I do. I don't want people thinking I'm a bad person when I'm not. When I see someone making accusations about me that aren't true and then see others liking it, it makes me mad that they're just blindly agreeing and it's not like I can contact everyone individually to inform them otherwise. So, they go away with a false impression of me, placed in their head by someone who doesn't know me. And, well, call me paranoid and obsessive if you like, I suffer from OCD, moderate paranoia/anxiety and mild depression. But thank you for making me feel even more useless for feeling that way. Maybe you shouldn't accuse someone of paranoia and obsession like it's something silly and embarrassing when it's part of a real problem for some people. For your information, music helps me deal with anxiety because it focuses my mind on something that makes me feel an emotion that isn't leading to anxiety (though it depends what's said in the song). If I want to analyse Taylor Swift songs and music in general because it helps me shut off from crippling anxiety, that's really none of your concern. And I really don't like when the act of my showing intelligence through song analysis is deemed as something laughable. It's so snobby and hurtful.

These are likes on a pop girl forum. They are allowed. Hundreds of people here like posts everyday. Some are positive and some are negative. That's just the way it is.

She made a solid pop album. I'd much rather hear her stuff on radio than Katy.

What a cold way to respond to the emotional confession I just made. Have a bit of consideration for other people's feelings. Like I said, maybe what other people think of you doesn't bother you but not everyone is like that. You should respect that. I don't care if its on a platform as frivolous as a pop forum. There's real people with real feelings behind these usernames. Silently liking something negative someone says about another member is quite frankly, cowardly. If you've got a problem with someone, come out and say it, unless you're afraid in case they prove that you had the wrong perception of them? I've never liked anything nasty said about you. But you do it to me. A bit of mutual respect wouldn't go amiss.

I've seen it all before, several times. 

I'm not going to play by your special rules. You do what you want to do within the guidelines and I will do the same. Stop trying to make people play by your special rules.

LMFAO! Someone is clearly delusional. A **** ton of people are sick to death of her. I don't know anyone that likes her. And no, I'm not a Katy Perry fan, troll. You need to crawl out from under the rock you're in, kid.
