So I am playing at Pogo today, just TRYING to relax. They have the new Boggle game there (yes it’s the old board game Boggle, but funner haha). I am playing, enjoying myself quietly, figuring this was stimulating my brain–the chemo makes me so foggy and my memory is not what it used to be. I smile to myself and feel good because I am remembering words from dictionaries I used to read (haha yes I used to read the dictionary) and I am flying through the game (I also type 80 WPM on a good day).
You cannot chat between rounds, so you don’t give away words to people, which I think is GOOD, and I usually don’t chat anyhow. At the end one of the games I was “MVP” and my score was 211 which is REALLY high. I got giddy and felt GOOD about myself until a few people in the chat room start saying “No way you can get that score..” and “Oh some one is using a bot”….A BOT?!?!?! I typed in “I am human, thanks…” and continued to play, after every round they kept talking about how it sucked that some people cheated, etc., etc. It REALLY hurt my feelings, so I just left the game room and I cried.
I can’t help it that I am smart, that I am Autistic and retain things. I wasn’t cheating, I was only playing the fucking game and enjoying myself, but of course you get a few stupid humans who want to cause trouble and upset people…I wanted to type in the chat “Hey I am Autistic with an IQ of 162, don’t be pissed if I am smarter than you.” But I didn’t. I just left. Now I am scared to go play Boggle again, no matter what game room I am in, because I don’t want to be treated like that again. IT HURTS. I’m a very nice, quiet and gentle person…I don’t start trouble, hell as I said I RARELY even chat, so please don’t start shit with me. I don’t need it!!! It’s abusive and I don’t need it!!
LOOK people. If you see someone winning and excelling at a game don’t just assume they are cheaters. I KNOW some people do cheat and that sucks, but don’t be MEAN to some one when you don’t know their story. I am sensitive and YOU HURT ME!!! I am sick, weak, going through this fucking chemo and I didn’t need that crap today..Hell I haven’t even FELT like being on pogo at all until today…..and of course it had to get RUINED.
I hate mean people, they SUCK. Just leave me ALONE!!!!

F**K em !
If that game brings joy into Your life,Then there going to have to deal with You being the King.
Bullies are everywhere,its Sad that they crept into The Anonymous World of The internet.
Cheer up Val, I’d Love to Play against You some time. It would be more of a Challenge to Play against a Winner Than those Losers.
Thanks, Jimmy. I really do enjoy playing games at pogo, I just don’t understand people having to be MEAN! *le sigh*
I agree. Being smart pisses some people off, but probably those same people won’t even be there next time you play. Fun things are important and to be treasured. You don’t have to explain anything to anyone. If they think you’re cheating, it’s kind of a compliment on how well you’re playing.
Blessings to you,

I feel like I have to “dumb myself down” in order to ENJOY playing games like that at Pogo…it’s really unfair and I hate when people are mean to me, it affects me deeply, I still haven’t played boggle again, maybe soon I will try again. Blessings back!
That’s why I prefer hanging out with my dog to most humans. 😦 People can be so cruel and mean, especially when they can hide behind the anonymity of a computer screen. That’s why I always count my blessings for the handful of people I have in my life that I know really care. We all need to do that, those others don’t matter.
Take care V, and keep enjoying Boggle. 🙂
HAH I agree, animals are the best!!! Yes people can be so mean and I am so sensitive that it hits me on a deep level and really puts me off…They need to understand there ARE people behind the keyboards, right? Anyhow, thank you for writing, for emailing me and for being SO nice to me, I really do appreciate it!
What assholes and sore losers those people are! I’ve been treated like that in the past in different situations, and it SUCKS. I wish I knew who these fuckers were, so I could make THEM cry somehow. Anyway, no matter what those jerks say, you’re still the Boggle King, and you RULE. Try not to let the bastards get you down (I know that’s hard). *hugs*
Yes, assholes is the word I would use haha. It sucks to be treated that way by complete strangers ONLINE. I wish *I* knew who the fuckers were so you can make them cry haha. *hugs back*
Just remeber people like to pick on and criticise other people to make them selves feel better about them selves. So when someone says to you that you are too smart what there really saying is shit dont notice how dumb I am. Enjoy the game and ignore the dumb people.
I know Maria, but it still hurts me, blah!!! I like you idea about them thinking they are dumb..that made me giggle, thank you!! hehe
hey my name is Kate, and your story really touches me and i know how you feel. My grandma at this very moment is dying of cancer 😦 its invaded her lung and theyre are nurses round the clock watching over her. I hope you feel alot better some day and when its your time you can meet her in heaven. bless you.
Kate, I am so sorry about your gramma. And of course, when it’s my time, I will look her up just for you. *hug*
I hope you stop by and comment often!
thank you so much! she peacefully passed away last night at 1:34 AM. Hope that by her death the cure for cancer will come. 🙂 *hug* God bless you, Kate
I am SO sorry she passed away, but at least you can know it was peaceful and she is not in anymore pain. *SIGH* I cry for your family and I will send out prayers for strength for you.
One day I really do hope that they give us the cure, it’s out there…..*hugs back*
