Seriously, peeps. No one REALLY cares about your stupid rush story.

Oh geez.

My opinion on the matter is that I don't mind the recruitment story threads so much (I read some, skip others, and particularly like the train wrecks) but I do get annoyed with the "can't wait to hear more!" and "where's the OP? I want more!" I think we should comment when the story is OVER OR if someone is full of shit. Comments like that just feed into the narcissistic "Is anyone reading????" crap.

ETA: I don't mind the word "fuck" or telling people to "fuck off." I'm a big girl. I've heard it before.

I agree with this including the ETA although I'm over considering it particularly expressive most of the time too.

About the threads, I can understand wanting some indication that people are reading so you know that you aren't posting it for nothing and nobody, but I get annoyed by big delays.

I can't figure out why you'd start a big autobiographical thread and then fail to update it in 48 hour installments tops.

Here's the thing, if you're going to write one, JUST WRITE ONE.

If you ask "Do you guys wanna hear it?" I'm going to say NO. Why? Because you asked and I'm not going to lie.

And when I'm honest about it, I hate when people say "omg you scared her off!" Who cares?

I think the issue here is that folks who are newer to GC don't realize that retro threads have been going on FOREVER and they're super lame now because the people who post them aren't even regulars.

BTW: Tippie, please tell me I'm not in TEH kitchen.

Do you all still have the daily snark PM thing? Maybe it was a briefly lived thing in the era of ________ but perhaps it reduced the overall public snark to boringly low levels.

Yes, we still communicate. No, not daily. And, no to the second part. _________ ran a lot of fun people off with her stalking. I can think of several. And those people were fun people.

Yeah. It just got way too creepy for some people.

Yeah, up until that I wasn't sure who really had the crazy. I can understand deciding that exposing yourself to that level wasn't worth it.

Now, now, let's not rewrite history, shall we? Remember it was YOU who started the stalking; posting pictures and websites of ____ on GC without permission.

But, you never were one to let the facts get in the way of a good story now, were you? So you started a whole smear campaign, and enlisted your little buddies to repeat your lies. And you're still doing it today.

Ah, but back to those days. You didn't like it, though, when ____ returned the favor and started looking you up on the internet too, did you? Sure it was OK when you were doing it to ______, but gawd forbid anyone did it back to you. After all, nobody ever dared to challenge "Queenie Tippie" before, and your nose is still out of joint over it. If it wasn't, then why do you keep bringing up ____?

So once again, to set the facts straight, Tippie started the stalking, was horrfied when someone did it back to her, and then ran around crying that somebody was stalking her.

Just keepin' you honest, and will continue to do so.

I've never really given two craps who writes a recruitment thread or not. I'm over them at this point because there's so many fakers. Some were fun to read, but then we were flooded with bad writers, perps, and just r-tards. I'm so over it mainly because it seems like a not so thinly veiled show of "my org is better than yours because we got more NMs via GC".

Long live Chuck Norris' recruitment thread though...that was GC comedic genius.

I thought we were just going off in this thread cause we could. :shrugs shoulders:

ETA: actually tippiechick, I'm pretty indifferent to retro threads-dont love or hate them. And you're actually not so bad yourself. I just didn't think retro threads were that big a deal to warrant a thread of such snark.

The fake/mock stories are funny but some take it too far until they're not funny. Those posters are just reaching. (So maybe were kinda saying the same thing? Dunno. GC just aint that deep to me.)

I love the top part of this post. I really did LOL.

[DrPhil]

LMAO. It's so random as hell that it's funny as hell.

tld221: FAIL.
