About Abuse

[monster]

Listen up, anon et al. I ain't gonna change. You don't like it? Tough. You want rid? Make this place so floral, wishy-washy and marshmallow-post infested I can't take it any more. But I will fight such invasions until it ain't worth it, and I suspect I'm not alone, so you have your work cut out. But feel free to try.

Yes, I'm like this in real life. My time is valuable, I don't waste it on people who are intolerably dumb or irritating in my opinion. You get a couple of chances, then you get ignored and if your idiocy makes you unignorable, then I'mm'a tell you about it. And then it's done. Out of sight out of mind. You really don't know anyone like that in real life? Or you just expect the interweb to be all Snow White and Disney?

FFS look at the user name I picked. Sometimes you can judge a book by the cover if it's graphic enough.

If you can't stand the heat, you really should get out of the kitchen. If you allow your feelings to be hurt by strangers on the interwebs, then this is not the place for you. I don't expect, need or want to be liked by everyone. So "ouch, my feelings". Seems like maybe you do. This is just not a realistic outlook on life.

But I voted against me to try and give you a little emotional boost there Now rub some dirt in it and man up.

She said "in my opinion." Another trademark post. These are the good old days, IMHO.

This is a completely voluntary recreational board. Meaning you are free to participate, or not; respond, or not, anyway you like. All idiotic posts or posters are completely ignorable in that case because you do not have to respond to them. You are not forced, you don't have to interact with them on any level, you don't even have to see their face. I hate to break it to you, but you have wasted valuable time on intolerable dumb and irritating posters who were ignorable, since they all are ignorable.

This is not the general "interwebs," this is the Cellar. The Cellar is a social outlet for many dwellers, that means we probably see each other as friends or acquaintances that we want to hang out with for the most part. I don't get my feelings hurt by strangers, I get my feelings hurt by friends and acquaintances. Do I want to be liked by
everyone? No. Do I want to be liked by the friends and acquaintances I choose to spend time with? Yes, otherwise I'd be a huge masochist, and I'm not. I do like your input a lot of the time and would like to respect/have your respect monnie, just as I would with a friend. If you don't give a fuck what your friends and acquaintances think of you or if you hurt their feelings, then I can't imagine why you would even bother socializing with them, obviously you don't like them.

It's not a closed board, though. It's open to all on the interwebs. Some I would not choose to spend time with. And some I consider close friends and acquantances. The latter... if they call me out on a post I hurt and/or I apologize. The former..........

I find it ironic you call me monnie here, when you're saying you're sorta cool with me in the main ....I really, really don't like that name and it's one of the names that the non-monster-people use to try and rattle my cage.

You do have my respect mtp, for what that's worth. But don't call me monnie. Or stupid. DON'T CALL ME STUPID!

What is insane about this? I read this post and agreed with every word. It reads like an Ayn Rand character, or lyrics to a Rush song. This resonates with me. If you think this is crazy, I can't understand how your brain works.

'twas especially for you, honey.

[Trilby]

(FTR - I didn't know that monster hated the nickname 'monnie' for a very, very long time and when I used it [monnie] I certainly meant no offense.)

Now. This is for everyone here:

Let's move on.

[sexobon]

They've done their grazing. Now,

HEAD 'EM UP, MOVE 'EM OUT.

[infinite monkey]

This turned out to be the funniest thread I've read in a very long time. It had everything: sour grapes, crying, wailing, sniffeling, grovelling, kissing, hand-holding, boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy realizes girl is better than him, crescendoing into a thrilling denouement, before falling lightly to its expected conclusion. A morality play, if you will. I laughed! I cried! I saved 5 bucks!

If people don't talk about you, you must be boring.

Thanks for making my day.

[Trilby]

Is it a comedy? (ends with a wedding)

Or a tragedy? (ends with a death)



Why not both?

[Spexxvet]

Meh. In my opinion, we've all been assholes, we've all been nasty (except maybe Clodfobble), we've all been nice. I didn't vote, and I won't, fwiw.

[infinite monkey]

Let's ask Pathos and Laughos.

[henry quirk]

This is the public sphere.

What happens here is largely uncontrolled.

Also: what happens here is largely insignificant.

If your 'feelings' are wounded by the commentary of *folks you've never met and have no reason to think twice about, then: there is far more 'wrong' with YOU than with THEM.

Grow up.



*As I voted above: both Monkey and Monster amuse me. But: even if both just chafed my ass -- again -- this is an uncontrolled public sphere.

I can choose to 'ignore' (tell the 'offender' to go and fuck him- or her-self and be done with him or her), to 'fight' (the cogent argument to counter the 'nastiness'), or to 'cry like baby' (like running some little poll).

Again: grow up.

You know what Jim's user title should be? "Yes, the things I say ARE my opinion If Frank Sinatra Says It's OK". 'Cause Frank calls the shots for Jim.

See here?

This is funny!

You all should be so lucky as to be able to do what Monkey and Monster do.
