Who's the meanest user in The Cellar?

[elSicomoro]

I'm probably not here enough to really know anymore, but when I was here every freakin' day (January 2001-June 2005), Radar was King of the Assholes. But I suspect that much of his schtick is an act. Maggie could be pretty bad too, but then she was gone for quite some time, plus I think she means well more often than not. And then there was Dave...man, no one could put a pimple on his ass.

LJ can come across as a total dick, but I think he's more of a playbaby than anything. I don't think he's a bad guy...like Maggie, he means well more often than not. He just likes to stir up shit.

As a whole, Hubris Boy is probably the most ornery SOB we have here. He rules, except for the fact that he worships Margaret Thatcher.

Being an example of the "start your own board" concept. :-)
Y'all at least are substantial enough to have taken a fair number of eyeballs with you (not that they left here; it's not completely a zero-sum phenomenon) on the strength of your own cred as an Interesting Person.

But, Starry Sky, syc! What are you doing up at 4am on a Saturday? :-)

Between a FT job, an occasional PT job, school and spending time with April, I barely have time to devote to my own board much less here!

Starting my own board was mainly a vehicle for writing the Manifestos after UT and I had our falling out 2 years ago. We're cool now (at least I think we are), but I like the Manifestos being on their own.

I had just gotten home from my brother's house. My mom's 50th birthday party is today, and we were finalizing shit for that.

what's a playbaby? is that like a mouthbreather? I do come across as a dick sometimes, but it's only in response to the insufferable behaviour of those around me. dick is in the eye of the beholder, anyway. when you think i'm being a dick, some others may think i'm saying something that needed to be said.

oh, and.....
cock

Nah...you like to fuck around and fuck with people. "Playbaby" is not an insult.

True, but so is insufferable behavior.

What are you, British now? It's behavior, you tard!

Internet communities............The safety valve for those too polite or to timid to rant in public. The tendency is to be that bit less tolerant of your antithesis and a bit more forthright in your opinions. I've barely been at this forum a couple of weeks, not long enough to assign character analyses to any of the regulars, but I guess if I stay long enough, I will. When I do, I might end up focussing my pent up frustrations on one lucky member, or I may end up spreading a thin layer of dull negativity over a wide audience. I've yet to meet anyone who can piss on all and sundry with any degree of enthusiasm and venom and still retain their membership on a board. And I really don't think I want to. Forums are interesting enough places without wasting time on vendettas and grandstanding.

@ Billybob, anthithesis? I've never heard that word before.


I joined because I thought I found Nirvana or something. Then_______showed up.:P

*runs*


ok, all kidding aside. I don't think it is grandstanding when someone is being made to defend a point.

It is granstanding when someone dosn't have a point.

[skysidhe]

Well I am NOT going to vote for LJ because I am going to give him the benefit of the doubt.


I also think this thread topic is a cry for help.

[xoxoxoBruce]

Really? Cry for help? Not just shit-stirring?

Perhaps. I don't know. You see, I could be making false assumptions too. I didn't know he was a shit stirrer but I don't really know him.


About shit stirring. One could say my last post was shit stirring but then when things confuse me I just HAVE TO ask why.


I just wanna know this one thing.....

[xoxoxoBruce]

I mean the topic of the thread is a question that can only be responded to one of two ways, except for hijacks and asides.
1- Claiming the honor(?) for ones own.
2- Name(attack, criticize, etc) someone else, presumably with examples of them being mean, usually forcing them to defend themselves and others to choose sides.
That strikes me as shit-stirring.

I think I'd take your word for almost anything Bruce.

lots of respect in my book.

"What man says to Ginger (dog or internet user): This that and the other" What Ginger hears: Blah blah blah blah"

People who argue or debate for the sake of hearing themselves is a real waste of time in my book.

In the Far Side cartoon (which caused the invention of the term "Larson's Dog Effect" in the field of user interface design) Ginger actually can hear her name in between the "blahs".

The second panel is titled "What they hear." The drawing is exactly

Too bad I can't find an image of it...but I did find the next evolution in human-canine communication:

Ginger probably can't make subject and verb agree in number either, though. :-)

I know exactly what Larsons Cartoon says. But of course I knew you would argue it for the sake of hearing (seeing) yourself talk.

I think you need a hobbie maggie.
