Peanut Gallery Commentary on the Staff Log of Bannings and such like.

[LadyForCamus]

This IS the peanut gallery commentary thread, Losty...[emoji53]  

I didn't realize the peanut gallery was meant for giving medical diagnosis. My apologies.

I was being a wise-ass. I'm sorry, but some of us (or just me perhaps) have grown tired of his antics after a YEAR. My sympathy is running dry...

Curse this fucking green name. Every time I say I don't like something people think I mean they shouldn't be allowed to do it.

That curse exists, but the decision was apt to give him a week vacation. Perhaps a little lenient given his history, but okay, give him another shot, like I did with PhatMatt. That worked wonders. You did great as staff. The other issue is making mental diagnosis over the internet.

Yes, mental diagnosis over the internet, isn't accurate at all.

I thought his name was never to be mentioned. :-)
I'd just like to say, there's a fairly big difference between PhatMatt and EP, in my opinion.

Baha so was I
Trust me, you're not the only one. I love you, but you already know that. <3

If he comes back because you guys are calling out his name I will let you diagnose my illness and pay for my therapy. Please Stahp T_T he's far worse than beetle juice.

I won't lie, I've stood at the water-cooler with co-workers wondering WTF was really going on with Joe Bagadonuts.

We all speculate on the motivations of our fellow humans, even online. It's our curse.

You're right. We do. We are judgemental creatures. And whenever we can I think we should rise above the urge. It's just what I think. Doesn't make it right. Bleh I'm too tired. I have to go now. You guys have a lovely day.

You're signing off for the night, but if I may, allow me to add a word: being judgemental is not of itself a bad thing. It's only when the judgement is based on false premises that it turns to stone. We make judgements every day of our lives: is this person good or bad for me? That is a judgement. We all do it, every day. Every day.

Right or wrong? It simply is.

It's a good discussion, no?

Meh. He is definitely quite a little shit, but he's our little shit. The first thing I did on this site was get in a posting fight with him, but I'm fine with welcoming him back anyway. I hope he does something enjoyable while he's away, because the mockery never ends around here (and it shouldn't).

See ya soon, EP.

It's 7 am and I haven't slept. I don't know. I suppose I would say that being judgmental for the sake of being judgmental is harmful. It feels like middle school in here where everyone stands around loudly whispering about whoever is on the chopping block this week knowing they'll hear...just to be mean. As long as I live I will never understand the desire to act that way. I will never understand the pull people seem to have to be mean to someone you don't like as retribution for them being a way you find unpleasant. I just don't get it. Now, that I have gone for who knows how long, over a subject that wasn't that special to begin with. And made myself feel stupid for opening my huge mouth to begin with, I'll try to think what EP would say to me now if he were here. Probably something along the lines of "you don't have to go through all this effort to defend me, Losty. I know you like me, but this is pathetic." Maybe some stuff about how people should say everything they think even if it's really mean. Goodnight guys.
