This is a good thread.

I get e-mails from members on here quite frequently. I just read some of my e-mails from them and something that we've noticed is that the members on here who don't hold the popular opinions get chewed out everytime. So basically, if your opinion differs from the popular opinion, you're a troll. That's funny as hell to me. A member can actually be a troll, but if he/she holds the popular opinion, then people not only love this joker, but they think he/she is a real member. Dumb jokers.

Example: There's a joker on here who thinks it's o.k. for a man to wear a damn bra. Most of these silly jokers on here loved this thread too, simply because his thread was popular on GC. A man wearing a bra? What a joke.

honestly, weve all been new on gc. weve all made mistakes like asking a quetion thats been asked a million times because we didnt bother to check out the search function--which by the way is sooo much easier to find since the new gc came out!!. weve all had not so nice responses by gcers that have been on here longer than us. and then weve been the ones that have been on this for awhile and see new people do the same stuff we used to do and get annoyed by it and figure its our turn to treat them the same way we were treated. i guess its a rite of passage on gc? if you get a response you dont like to a thread you posted in, dont respond back. it only adds fuel to the fire. read around for awhile, and then try posting again in a different forum. this isnt real life--youre not gonna see these people face to face (most likely anyways). therefore, if you dont like what people are writing, unsubscribe to the thread and stop reading it!!

**weve is being used generically here. weve doesnt imply everyone. im sure that there are people that have never had this happen to them. but for this forum ive decided to generalize**

If people cannot handle the snarkiness and bantering, of an internet site, I really feel sorry for them. They're gonna have a hard row to hoe when it comes to facing actual life problems.

Suck it up. You can either join the dark side (we have cookies) or you can go find a cuddly place to go crawl into a fetal position and sing kum ba yah with the softer, gentler greekchatters. Either way, we don't care. People come and go. If you sitck it out, fine. If not, there will be 10 other posters like you to take your place.

Stop singing, "Pain, despair and agony on me." Post or don't post. It doesn't matter.

Too bad this is all to big to become my signature! :)

Love you too.

I totally would have Rushed SAI if we didn't have stinky MPhiE who kept SAI from forming a chapter.:D:D MysticCat knows how I feel about Music G(r)eeks!!:p

And, once again, if the OP think she got it bad from the mean, snarky GCers, she outta check out a few of the times that TippieChick or OTW and I have had it out. Good times were had by all and everyone moves on. I still enjoy their posts, and I will polish and hand over TippieChick's Queen of Mean Crown whenever she wants to come out and play with us.:D:p

ETA: I can't believe this thread is still open. I was sad yesterday when I had to leave, because I thought for sure when I came back this thread would be closed.

No, not D.

AzuleBatMierda strikes again. :D

Te amo AzulePaloMierda.

Holy shit if some Spanish speaker somehow gets this on Google, they're going to think I'm muy loca.

I'm laughing, honored and humbled at the same time. If only my wife and kids thought the same. :D

We Music G(r)eeks love you, too. http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/cha...racter0205.gif

As for me, I think no one caps off a thread like wptw does.

Too bad siggies have a 4-line limit... but yes, we do need to have a "has this thread gone totally batsh!t" checklist. you know, in case you're not sure.

oh man, that was awesome.

is it too early for one of these:

mike says hi, BTW.

I don't think an ETA to put that in the OP would be too early for that.

I love the one with Mike.

So does Drolefille. Just to bring her facial tattoo fetish back into discussion.

ETA: BTW this is my favorite wptw.

the "WTF has this thread turned into" checklist
 

crazy newbie GCer? check
Tom Earp response? check
snarky response from Dionysus/AF/whoever else? check
Senurset I "i'm so hot" hijack? check
cat macro? check
"intimidated by my hotness" reference
a DITY? wisecrack
a threat of being reported
train wreck insert
cameo by SHEETCAKE, The Grapist, or anyone else of GC yesteryear
GCer playing devil's advocate
GCer attempting to get back on OT
virtual snacks
GC BFF declarations
"in before the lock" declarations
"the ignore button is your friend" slam
a random "why are NPC/NPHC so different?" remark
a Rudey "this thread is gay" remark
my personal favorite... TEACH FOR AMERICA, BIZNATCHES!
ETA: mention of AI and/or writing recommendations

and lastly, one of two things:
the actual lock, or
another GC newbie (or drunk GC regular) resurrecting the thread with a really thoughtful response, unbeknowst to them that the thread is like 50 million years old.

anything else?

That one is good. But I think my favorite is this one, where he put me in my place and I was forced to bow to the master.

No, but I think GC should look into requiring sponsorship. (I heard about the idea from an extremely reputable hair transplant salon.)

Alopecia Awareness is where it's at!

does somebody have a sound effect for the tune that's played when you lose a gome on the Price is Right?

the poster formerly known as RainMan would... if you can find him under all the "OMG i'm a nupe now yo yo" mumbo jumbo.
