*All names have been changed to protect the stupid*

I have been on a site's forum for a long time. For three years since that site's conception, I've always participated in activities on that forum and all sorts of other stuff.

That site was in need of help. You see, this website involves collecting pictures and scans of certain comic books for the enjoyment of the general public. The site was always in need of collectors and sorters, and people were applying for the job. This site pays you through Paypal. I was no exception. Hell, I was willing to do the work for free because I was happy to just volunteer myself, not to mention that I loved reading the comics on the site.

Sabrina (the website's owner) and I aren't exactly on friendly terms. Before I started taking medication for my depression, I've always had a lot of bouts of angry moments. She didn't like me.

I haven't directly talked to her in two years. She knows I've been taking medication for my depression and that my bouts have subsided. I though that she might find me alright enough to apply for a volunteer job on the site.

I finally took up the courage and talked to Sabrina directly about the job. I was recommended by two people that are already on the staff about my amazing work ethic when it comes to stuff I like doing. They'll know I'll get things done. I know I'll get things done. She knows I'll get things done.

She turned down my application immediately after she saw my name.

She said I was too much of a liability to the website because I'm "****ing crazy." Plus, "I don't care if you'll do it for free. I don't care that you'll get things done. I just ****ing hate you." I stated my case, saying this isn't fair that's she's rejecting me just because of my past problems with her. I just want to help the website in any way I can. She said "In 24 hours, your account will be banned. That's how you can help. Have fun and I'll hope I'll never see you again. "

There. Three years of commitment and laughter down the drain. It may be just a forum, but it's a forum I enjoyed. I LOVED being on the forum. I had so much fun on there.

Oh well. Too bad, so sad.

By the day of this post, a friend told me that Sabrina "desperately needs new sorters." Too bad I'm not around any more, huh?

Wow, that story makes me angry just reading it! You are so much more awesome than having to work there, her forum can fail miserably without you.

I'm sorry she was so rude and mean to you. Does Sabrina have a boss - you can complain to them.

Ha, I wish. She IS the boss. She's the owner of the website, after all. Not that I care too much any more. She's just a person to me now. A rather angry person at that.

Disclaimer - that Sabrina isn't me!

Sorry you had to go through that. It really sounds unfair for you.
