not really, some people just bring out the best in me.

lol--I watched Raw recently. In other news, I missed everything we're discussing :(

Was the AGD even someone that you knew in real life?

So odd.

And it looks like PhiMu88 is TRYING to win the MIA.

Sincere question, not just to Jen but to all. I've always been a bit confused by this dynamic on GC and am hoping you all can clear it up for me. :)

Why is it ok for Jen say this, but not ok for phimu88 to say whatever she said? I'm not saying either action is appropriate or inappropriate, but it seems like this whole kerfluffle started because of names being called. I'm sure I'm missing something important - show me the light, please GCers!

Not bragging... just being sarcastic :rolleyes: there isnt or hasnt been anyone that rubs you the wrong way and makes you act in a way you normally wouldnt?

PM coming your way! And Jen, got your PM, coming your way too.
No.
Because we like Jen.

Just reporting for duty . . .

Recap:
Phimu88 called me out for using the term "melodramatic bitch" about ukwhateverhernameis when the girl was whining. (Girl had gotten a bid to KD but was whining b/c some girls said they wanted to see her again and then she was cut by groups she didn't get a bid to. Girl was whining about everything seeming so fake and how fake those girls were. We had tried to tell her that one girl didn't make membership decisions alone...) Phimu88 said we should act like adults, avoid name-calling and be nice.
People chimed in agreeing for the most part. (Esp. Lightning Bug)
I said I wouldn't change. If they didn't like it, they could ignore me.
OTW says it's the Battle of Ole Miss.
Phimu88 says there's no way I could have possibly attended Ole Miss with my obvious lack of education.
People fill her in on the fact that I did go there.
She starts going off the deep end wondering how my husband (if I could find one) puts up with me. Smacks off about being a lady, etc.
I FINALLY use the word fuck in response to her.
She continues to remark about how low class I am.
EPchick announces that perhaps her feelings of anger toward me are simply displaced as a result of her getting knocked up and having to drop out of Ole Miss while I actually HAD a sorority experience.
She defends herself by stating she has been dating her husband/baby daddy since she was FOURTEEN.
She says something about being proud of her situation and that I should be ashamed of my potty mouth.
I say that my sisters would rather have a chick saying "fuck you" and "bitch" than having someone get knocked up after doing the walk of shame from fraternity row.
Then, she wants to know what sorority let in such a filthy mouth.
Shid posts the best post in the thread by saying, "Not the one that let in your filthy pussy!"
After that, it was basically her leaving, and people from the triad thread in CC just posting to piss her off and trying to run her off.
_______________________________________________
Point is, she was the one complaining about treating people badly and wanting people to be nice. Then, she was the one who went off being a bitch after I had told her to put me on ignore.

She can call me whatever she wants. She can use whatever words she wants. But, I expect someone to have enough guts to admit what they did and said in a thread.

It really depends on the poster and how long they've been on GC. Seniority has its perks.

And it really was!!! I'm still laughing about it!

Sincere answer. It's not about appropriate or not appropriate. For the most part, folks on here don't take things seriously and are just entertaining themselves. You appear to be thinking too hard about this situation. The best way to handle it is to jump in or just watch and giggle. :)

And don't forget, Tippie, that you "rounded up your posse" against poor little old demure her.

that is your version... you left out what you wanted to leave out. If I were to post the entire thread it would explain alot more of what was said. Why dont you put me on ignore.

You cant run me off btw ... i leave when I feel like it .

Oh yeah, when people came in to the thread and didn't like her attitude, she said I had gathered my posse against her.

I think that's why I haven't ever been able to grasp the dynamic. I get it, that it's a 'known person' thing, but there's this part of me that always thinks it's illogical whenever it happens.

I pretty much knew what happened, I just didn't understand why you guys were upset about it, if it was an act that everyone was participating in. So I guess it's more the unwillingness to embrace the antagonism?

That I definitely know, but it doesn't make it any more logical to my little brain. :)

Taking things too seriously is a failing of mine. :) But it's a question that I've had on my mind from many years of GC observation, and I thought this was a good place to ask. I'm a puzzle solver, and when I don't understand something it bugs me.

Thanks for the honest answers, all! I don't know that it makes any more sense to me personally, but I can see why it makes sense to others a bit better.

/overly serious hijack

thats exactly what I am doing ... my husband kept coming out to find out why I was laughing so hard. message boards are just a form of entertainment.
