Baby, he is still nice. He just doesnt agree with this type of thread and he is entitled to feel that way. Yeah he can be a grump a lump sometimes but then I think he is in good company here.

I dunno. I could just misunderstand him. It just frequently seems like he's deliberately serving no other purpose than to create ill-will, and negativity where previously ther was none. If that's true, that's not nice.

You might engage your brain as well, know-it-all. The last time I checked, the best way to make a thread go away wasn't to post in it.
I wouldn't dream of trying to make it go away. I'm pointing out why it's a crummy thread and, by its nature, can't be anything else. And some others seem to agree with my rationale.
Still, if this were another appreciation thread, I might be inclined to agree with you. However, this thread was suggested in another thread. Some noob waltzed in and was all over Uncut, going so far as to create a malicious thread about him.
Great. So chew the guy's ass out in that thread. Even if I had nothing to do I wouldn't waste my whole day looking to see if some other crummy thread had some bearing on this crummy thread. This one's crummy enough on its own.
Someone in that thread suggested a list of people who are "untouchable"- people who are consistently, fiercely defended when they come under attack.
A pointless exercise. Nobody mentioned so far needs any help defending himself.
While it didn't seem like a terribly useful thing (since the search function is wonky around here, and since people don't generally search for that sort of thing anyway) but it didn't seem like it would harm anything either.
I disagree, for reasons already stated.
Look. Some people are really good at meeting people, and some people are not. People who are not good at meeting people always feel left out anyway.
Dynamite excuse for piling a little more shit on top of them, just dynamite.
If you wern't so grumpy all the damn' time, people would be nicer to you.
I'm not grumpy at all. I'm pointing out rubbish where I see it. I saw it here. I still see it. Grumpiness is hardly required, just a little perception and honesty. Some people react with overblown hostility to that. Tough, I'm not going to bail just to save their precious sensibilities.
Remember? For two weeks you weren't being a jackass, and people wanted to know more about you? Didn't that feel good at all?
I'm not being a jackass now. Somebody sure is, though.

Funny, that's exactly what I think of those who keep posting these exclusionary crap threads. Negativity, masquerading as positivity. Not nice at all.

Personally, I thought this thread was going to be about people who were kinda under the radar. One's that you shouldn't piss off because they have connections etc...

It seemed almost dangerous...:smile: However, it kinda turned into a big appreciation thread, commenting on how nice everyone is and that shattered my thoughts about the thread. There is nothing wrong with lovey-dovey stuff, I just wanted to hear about the underbelly of LPSG, you know what I mean?:rolleyes:

Yes this did turn into a dud! I was ironing my curtains while this was going on. :biggrin1: I could tell you of an elderly friend who called me today crying that a storekeeper ripped her off. I called up my boy and he straightend everything out. My friend called and thanked me. The store keeper fell and hit his head. Oh well:wink:

I'll go ahead and nominate Big Dirigible as an untouchable because I don't think he gives a shit. He may not have people leaping to defend him when someone slams him but he usually manages to defend himself quite well.

Note that I say usually. Not all of his arguments are infallible but he frequently raises valid points of veiw not otherwise represented on this board. He knows that we're just going to use it as a chance to sharpen our claws on him but he posts anyway. Bravo!

Be honest, how many of us don't look for his name in the latest posts box when we're spoiling for a battle of wits. I do. You just know there's going to be some contention happening so you want to see. Half the time I wonder if he's just testing how well formed our opinions are, the other half I wonder if he's just testing our patience. Only he knows.

Not a one of us will hesitate to jump down his throat when we disagree with him. I know I don't. I say he's untouchable because he's untouched by our ire.

I won't hesitate to support his argument if I agree with it either and this is one of those cases. This is a form of popularity thread. No single person should be untouchable based on popularity. That's just another form of peer pressure. Niceness, longevity or whathaveyou does not excuse stupidity. Call it where you see it regardless of who it comes from.

The thread mentioned earlier where somone called uncut's gallery rating creepy is a good example of this. Reading through that thread I saw many posts slamming the OP for saying that about uncut because uncut is a nice guy. Would the same mob pile-on have occurred if that initial post had been in reference to a rating left by a complete unknown? Think about that for a moment. The only reason to slam the OP was for being a complete moron with no understanding of how the gallery and it's comments section works. Not for bitching in such a manner about uncut, but for bitching about anybody in such a manner.

My frienship doesn't buy anyone my defense of them and I don't expect their friendship to buy their defense of me. When disputes arise I think we'd be a little better off to drop the bias and only support those we believe to be right on the issue in question.

And now for something completely different...

Why the hell does MY icon show ME to be offline when I am clearly right here looking at it? WTF?

No, I do not have my profile set to invisible mode.

Curiouser and curiouser...

*edit...refreshing the page has woken my icon up, hooray. Still weird though.

. I mean one wrong word from them, and BANG! yer screwed..
They have been here a long time, and kick much ass, as well as being nice

I sense what this is about yet on the other hand I don't. Nice and kicking ass by the same person sounds like S&M to me. Some like to be subject to this, others like to give. What is nice is you can have your pick here at lpsg or stay on the sidelines and just show off your cock. That's another way of being nice and kicking some ass. (guess who likes to give it!)

PS: Gillette, how can you be off when you are so 100% on?

Well,

I asked about the meaning of the word Untouchable because that could cause a number of lists to be created! LOL! Those that are above reproach, Those that you dont want to touch because you are scared you might draw back a nub, Those who are so whatever you wouldnt dare touch them, Some that are unreachable. I would have too many different types of list and some that I kept to myself ! LOL!

I would have to say I am pretty approachable so I dont think of myself as untouchable in a negative sense. I may be untouchable in other ways though....Uncut dear, Is that you way of telling me to send more pics your way? LOL!
Yes!:smile: :wink:

"kiss up thread"
no.....
I dont think so...
I dont think I need to kiss up to anyone.. but I give respect when I recieve it.
DJGIZZLE

I don't think anyone intended to imply that you were kissing up to anyone.
For my part I have a problem with the concept, not with you. I'm sorry if I came across otherwise.

The problem with this kind of thread is that by suggesting that anyone is more anything than anyone else turns it into a popularity thread.

No one is untouchable. Anyone who makes an ass of themselves should expect the abuse they do and should recieve.

Everyone is untouchable. Anyone who gets shit on unfairly should expect and recieve support from other members.

It shouldn't matter if you've been here from day one or if it's your first day. This is the ideal.
