A quick word on "Overwhelmingly Negative Influences"

[Shell B]

I have and will never pretend I wear a halo. You can put that shit  to bed, homey. I posted tampons and told everyone to calm down. I didn't realize the idea that periods make you cranky was that big of a deal. I'd have respected you more if you told me to go fuck my self. You didn't. Moreover, you have not been civil. You've been snide and condescending. That's fine.I don't really mind that in a person. It's your whining that grates. It's your acting all out out when I called you for the prick you were being.

You don't see how posting a tampon picture in that context is in itself condescending? You don't think you merit criticism for it?

I do. I think belittling others is pretty shitty. And yes, I prefer snide and condescending as opposed to a simple "fuck you" in answering such a post. "Fuck you"s are simple, easy, they don't require thinking. I'd rather put a burr under a saddle than an anvil over the head.

Don't like my style? Tough shit. Deal with it.

I'd rather just keep rustling your wrinkly feathers if you're gonna keep being 'ornery. But really I'm going now. You can find some other joke to get your knickers in a twist about somewhere else in the forum. I'll meet you there and we can see who loses their shit first. My money's on you.

In your defense, Thump, it's easy to see why you'd have thought that.  That's the way just about everything on earth works.  Presented with stories of a unicorn, incredulity is understandable. 

That's why this place turned out to be so fuckin awesome man, we've got a unicorn at the wheel.  Beat that shit shamepages!

Don't bet too much, Cupcake. You've not rustled much but a thread, and when I turn to the chicken stew I'm making right now, you'll be forgotten.

If you're going to try trolling me, you'll certainly need to up your game. You wouldn't make a pimple on a good troll's ass, obvious as you are.

I don't think Tibs is Puppetmaster, I really don't. And I don't doubt his good intentions, either.

The fact is that any power the staff has at all is only there because ... Tibs has delegated it. He's not a dictator, but it's the nature of power dynamics that we humans tend to give fealty to those who grant us power; we tend to adopt their views.

I'm done with this. I don't mind being the squeaky wheel, but clearly I'm slowing the train down, and I don't wanna do that.

I'm sorry, what?

Did I type too fast?

Feel free to actually answer ... or feel free to continue shitposting.

Your choice will reflect upon you.

Too fast? Nope, just nothing worth responding to. Plus to see if you would react. 

Shit posting (see, people typically separate the words)? A matter of opinion. 

Do you have a hard on for me? Apparently. This is the second thread with what appears to be an unprovoked attack. Do you revel in over reaction/compensation to make up for some other insecurity/deficiency?

Reflection? Don't care. Rubber/glue.

^__________________________________________________________________________________^

The parentheses are sometimes dropped when used in the English language context, and the underscore of the mouth may be extended as an intensifier, (e.g. ^_________^ for very happy) for the emoticon in question.

And I'm out because the real point has run its course. Tibs is a good guy. Staff has integrity. Yada yada. I shall derail no longer. Also, can everyone chill the fuck out for the weekend? We have a visitor and I don't want fires in the forum to take precedence. Thanks. :p

Aunt Flo?

Sorry, couldn't help myself, tampon talk and all.

[Edwardo Piet]

I knew I saved this for a reason

Now I'm no expert but I think that may possibly be shopped.

As much as I don't think Thump is being fair to Tibs about the staff stuff, I don't think it's really fair to Thump to say he doesn't deserve kindness and consideration, either. He's a skeptic, he's supportive, and he's die-hard defensive about people he cares about.

It's my personal opinion that he doesn't deserve it. Die-hard or hard headed? The only interactions he's bothered to have with me have been started by him and always negative. I don't have to give him the benefit of the doubt or pretend that I care for anyone to waste time catering to his multi-day whinge fest. The magic of Tibs is that he thinks everyone deserves his consideration. Every single one of you. It drives me nuts. Guy sits here slapping him in the face and he just smirks and says "whatever you think, buddy." No, Thump doesn't deserve Tibs' consideration, but if he were to need it, he would get it. Baffles me.

Well prepare to be double-baffled because the part I bolded is one thing me and Tibbers definitely have in common
