I don't know what the problem is, here, but...

Umm Lady Sidhe,

If you knew yourself better maybe the things people say about you would be easier to accept?

Why not try reading over your own posts and try to see the kind of person you are? It might make it easier to understand why many people are pleased to having you exist mostly in the "hole".

The Ignore List is such a blessing for people intolerant of the opinions of others... it lets one filter out any views not in line with one's own. The sticking-fingers-in-the-ears-and-going-LA-LA-LA-LA defense makes debate so much more warm and unabrasive... like a good, satisfying bowel movement.

hmmm.. my honest reaction to the knowledge that someone is utilizing the ignore feature for a specific person, who happens to not be an asshat, is an impulse to simply quote the ignorEE whenever the ignorER is listening. is that shitty of me? would that get me ignored too?

wolf
Minimal to the point of approaching zero.

If people really work at it you might also end up on her ignore list ...

That's because no one knows you well enough to like you yet, and you will not often be given a pass by EVERYONE. if 5 or 6 people have given you some shit, i think it's safe to assume that twice or three times that number had similar thoughts but just didn;t say it out loud (kind of like cockroaches where every one you see represents 50 you don;t)

I think you make an excellent point here. I rarely voice my opinion about individuals on the cellar, mostly because if I don't like the person much, someone has probably already said it.

The other reason I don't post a lot of heavily opinionated statements is because I have not posted much of anything on this board, so the group has not been given a chance to understand when I am joking, giving shit, complimenting, bitching incoherently, etc. Nobody is USE to me yet. So, to show up and start blasting opinions about things is bound to produce some heavy reaction. I think this is why we have the whole newbie weirdness.

And there I went, blasting away.

Brilliant observation, jimbo!

(and in case anyone thought I was losing my edge: the preferred construction would be "not to be an asshat". I, too, am a native speaker of English damaged by Star Trek.)

Hey hey now..

If you guys keep this up we'll ALL be on Sidhe's ignore list, then she'll just post be chatting with herself all day...


Wait a second..she does that in the hole anyway...forget it.

[Riddil]

Now now, let's not get vindictive. Some people may not like Sidhe's mannerisms or some of her threads, but she's not a bad person. There's no reason to grab the torches and pitchforks and go marching to her front door.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion. I think she understands now that posting this thread was a bad idea, lesson learned. I'm sure she's planning on keeping her hands and legs inside the vehicle at all times from now on, so there's no reason to just keep on banging her over the head with the same sour sentiments ad infinitum.

Thanks, Riddil.

but she's not a bad person.

No one with a Waffle House Menu linked on their home site is a bad person.

I downloaded that peice of Americana and use it as a desktop. Damn I wish we had a Waffle House near where I live in Virginia in the DC suburbs). The Northernmost Waffle House I can find is in Richmond - 90 miles south

I may have my differences with Sidhe's content but do NOT mess with the Waffle House - An American Institution. And do NOT mess with Mr. Sidhe (troubleshooter (Ironic font or is it me) who, when witnessing an oil-soaked catfight between wolf and his better half, pronounced "let the chicks fall where they may."

I think I may have underestimated this couple!

Perhaps we could let them be them.

IMHO this is a very sound and reasonable statement. Nice one Riddil. Somehow this thread degenerated into a sarcastic, caustic and, quite unnecessarily, personal bandwagon with a surprising amount of normally fair-minded folks piling on for a free ride at the expense of an understandably bewildered newcomer ( relatively speaking ).
Heated debate is one thing but there isn't even a topic here other than 'how dare a newbie question a 'regular's' inexplicable but continuosly vitriolic barbs'
Vaild question? Who knows.
Right thread? Is there such a place? Doubtful.
Whining or perplexed? Pure opinion.
Does it warrant persecution by excessively eloquent, intelligent folks with no vested interest ( c'mon now, is it that big a deal to the ebb and flow of the precious forum) in the outcome?
Fuck no !
Where's the compassion people.

Is this a Hallmark moment? It tingles.

I'm not tryin to gang up on sidhe. I think that she fits in fine usually. I was just saying that ....well, i already said it.

when you start a thread like this, you'll have to expect some adverse reaction. I don;t necessarily side with wolf either. I've tried not to attack her in her threads, but wolf has every right to make her opinion known. Cougar also cracked on her a bit, and fnf, and blue, etc......why did she pick this fight with wolf?.....

you three that defend her are very chivalrous, and i agree that she is nowhere near irritating enough to be singled out and abused......unless she singles herself out.


a very wise man once said. "if I am not using my knife as a weapon, I have little sympathy for someone who chooses to hurl themselves upon it."
... iwish i could remember who said that........

in good fun

[juju]

She broke a number of generally agreed upon community rules. When the reasons for doing certain things were pointed out to her, she freaked out and said, "Ah! Why are you attacking me!"

Some things irritate us. If you won't even listen to the reasons for not doing them, we're probably going to ridicule you.

I have had neither the time nor interest to follow the many threads displaying the strife discussed here, but anyone who uses the obscure word 'dissembly' correctly gets a nod of respect from me.

Except that it was used incorrectly. The word Troubleshooter was trying to use was 'dissembling'.

'Dissembly' is an obscure synonym for assembly.

Someday, you'll slip up and make a typo or fail to properly conjugate a verb, and we'll be there. waiting. And when it happens, we'll be all over you like white on rice. like flies on shit. like ....two other things that really go together well......
