Hey! Don't make me call "the Clique" in on you! :rofl::lmao:
(Oh my gosh, I almost wet myself, laughing so hard just TYPING that.)
My observations of LPSG...
People who storm in, demand being liked, and rant, "this is who I am, and you're not going to stop me", receive the strongest, "we don't know you, and you've just made us not want to" reactions. As said in one of the above posts, take a second to learn what you're fitting into first. In one of the other threads, I made the analogy of barging into a group of strangers at a party, acting obnoxious, then wondering why you didn't make any friends. This behaviour in real life isn't accepted. Why would it be here?
There is a laundry list of people that have engaged in the behaviour that wldhoney mentioned. Those who haven't been banned, have been labeled, as trolls, or just insufferably annoying, and while all have one or two, "you go boy/girl" champions, the vast majority of the masses quietly seethe at seeing yet another of their posts pop up. Yeah, yeah, I know, "don't read it if you don't like it", but when they're everywhere, it's a bit tougher. Besides, I keep trying to give chances, on the off-chance that a change has occured. There's one poster, who actually draws my attention with his thread titles in 3-out-of-5 of his threads, but then invariably, he cracks, goes on some fantasy tangient, gets called out on it, lashes out, and then freak-fest, and associated bashing begins.
I agree that we need thought provoking questions to propel the many bright discussions that have gone before us. However, I just think that it stops being "brave", and moves to "annoying" when you can't tone it down a notch when people tell you to relax a bit. A puppy is adorable, but after a few non-stop hours of constant yapping, you start to lose interest, and really just want a moment of peace.
I think all that people are generally clamouring for, is to back off on the non-stop polls, lighten up a bit, and lose the constant defensiveness, and see if maybe there isn't some constructive criticism buried in there.
I mean, even at the "other" site, where they pride themselves on taking in the banned and otherwise outcast, THIS is the kind of response he's getting:source
Well, I was GOING to invite you, but, I'm sure one of us is already expected to reside in the others pocket anyway.
Pfft. You're not paying attention to protocol, are you? I still have 2-3 weeks after my "warning" letter, to wrap things up. :tongue:NB, If you get banned for posting the forbidden link to the other site,
I commit to a 50+ page protest thread.:winkhave you said your goodbye's? any last wishes?)
"Will he, or won't he?"I am very curious to see if the kind person who wrote that really would blow their face off.
So, "Can't we all just get along," eh? Well, alright, I will, but it's going to totally ruin my reputation. :tongue:Can`t we all just...
It's in aisle 6.I like candy.
No, I admitted that calling someone the C word was wrong.
I like it when you are in agreement with me, but I am not forever indebted to you for it. (I am sorry that this sounds so blunt, but I have no other way to say it.) The same way that I can have an argument with someone on one post and later agree with them in another.
I'm sorry that I upset you, and I hope we can be friendlier towards each other at a later time.
Wldhoney, stop it! Stop it right now! You going on and on, being all logical, and making all kinds of sense. Stop it, before I fall hopelessly in love. :wink:
Uhh, um, ME??? Hmm, thanks! But now I'm starting to think all that logic is starting to make you, well, delirious. :tongue: Haven't you read this thread? I mean, I'm, well, mean, and a sad little man, and bitter, and clique-y, and evil, yeah, that's right, I'm evil, and, um, well, ya know, lots of bad stuff like that. So... um, so there! Ooo! Maybe you have me confused with someone else. Hmm, like NIC_160. We look a LOT alike. People confuse us all the time. Well, except he's over a foot taller than me, and um, he's smarter, and some other stuff, but other than that, we're identical! :redface:...And I fell in love with you a long time ago! I've just admired you and your posts from afar....:05:
