Why are questioning PNMs consistently demonized here? - Page 6

Could you also look up "nettled"?

Ultimately, I just think it's pointless to address the behavior of posters on GC. You're going to draw people here who are going to be bitchy because you called them bitchy. If there's a mean girls' clique, I have yet to encounter it. I doubt posters sit around through PM and come up with a plan of action to terrorize GC or PNMs.

Most serious questions are answered in a serious tone.

Any threads about why certain people are mean to certain other people is going to result in a shitstorm. Just like posts in otherwise serious threads saying "OMG you guys are so mean" eggs people on to be mean.

Also, posts that are obviously jokes (because who would honestly think that we just throw darts at dartboards to choose members) are taken either seriously or people are offended by it. Why? It's pointless. Really.

If you don't like the way people post, don't egg them on by calling them mean girls or bitchy. If they're really bitchy, they know it. Just keep it moving.

The reality is that everyone's a hypocrite when it suits them. Some are just nicer about it than others, just like TriDeltaSallie was nicer about her high horse than you were.

No, I'm not posting on this thread because I'm annoyed. I like this thread. I usually agree with TriDeltaSallie, and I was glad she wrote this after that last PMN thread. Putting in my two cents when it's not attacking someone in particular isn't what we're talking about.

Exactly, it's not (i'm just being honest, i'm not trying to be rude). I honestly don't understand the point of these type of topics. Most people here have been on GC long enough to see how certain posters act/react, so why is it always a surprise? And you can't really say it's not a surprise b/c if it wasn't, then these type of threads wouldn't exist.

But whether people mean it or not, these threads go from what should be a decent discussion to a "oh i'm better than you" tirade. It's pointless.

ETA: I have to TOTALLY agree with agzg's last statement!

What really irks me is that you are either a) not this way in real life and have some newfound status kick on this website or you are b) this way in real life, in which case I do not even want to think about how your relationships with people fare.

Don't forget about c) you shouldn't care how these posters are in real life. The hypocrisy of your post is overwhelming.

Chaos is tonight going to be another one of those nights? Break out the Vanilla Ice!

ETA: I sang Veggie Tales to live-in and he was *not* amused. I think if I had continued not only would I not win at life, but I would be looking for a new home.

Only until Sex and The City goes off.

ETA: Veggie Tales is so cute but I don't blame him.

Probably not watching Charlotte's bald headed hubby stroll around hairy and naked right now.

epchick · #86 02-10-2009, 01:20 AM

Am I lame because I've never seen Veggie Tales??? I'm sad now

And I think one of my HS friends should be in the running for the "winning at life" award.

Here! Just wrapping things up and watching SATC too.

I'm still ready to rumble for .... 9 more minutes. Hit me up if something goes down!

ETA: Wrong, Chaos! I'm watching! Naked bald guy tea bags white couch. Blech!

ETA2: But Blair Underwood! YAY!

LOL!

I think Charlotte's husband is a cutie except for his body.

Blair Underwood FTW, though!!! Woohoo!

agzg · #89 02-10-2009, 01:24 AM

No rumble.

Ep, youtube it, but be warned! The songs will stick in your head all day!

I can't get used to watching SATC on cable. I guess I'm a purist. I need a new TV show to collect on DVD since Santa brought me the seasons I needed this year for Christmas (in the form of a Best Buy gift card).

I saw He's Just Not That Into You this weekend. And I vote no for a SATC sequel - WTF are they thinking?!?!

Oh, this isn't the random thread?
