Tired of this "NO DRAMA" crap.

I don't post very often, and I'm relatively unknown to the vast majority of the SL world. I hate needless drama just like the next person does, I really do. Drama, in this sense, is more like... threatening to kill yourself over something, being obviously negative and attention seeking, telling people that they made you cry... etc etc. Needless.

But nowadays, I can't even have a decent conversation that may or may not be thought-provoking with someone screaming "NO DRAMA!" "Stop the drama!". I don't know... I thought that we were all people here with real lives, real feelings and real opinions on things. I am losing the definition of what drama really is. What am I supposed to talk about that isn't "dramatic"? About my... plot... in some snowy region and how it remains completely empty? I don't know.

I'm just a little confused and annoyed I guess.

*shruggies* :|

Just about anything you type can be perceived as DRAMA by someone else. There's no tone to your typing, little emphasis on words except for capitals or punctuation of some sort. I think most of us have encountered situations where we were falsely accussed of being dramatic when that wasn't the intention at all.

Maybe using gestures more often would help get whatever point across that you're trying to make or just use for fun in everyday chitchat. Come by Acne Co or Mr. P's to enhance your sl experience and express yourself like never before inworld. We also make custom animations and gestures if there's something you specifically want.

oooh, custom animations? I really need to talk to you

happens alot evangeline.. generally way i look at it is people with the no drama sign (an there is a sign) are more or less jus opting themselves outta havin any meaningul or interesting conversation, which is fine for SL, theres clubs aplenty to keep them amused

Aweee Sweetums! I hope you know you can talk to me about anything, anytime.

Eva, catch me ingame anytime, I love thought-provoking conversations. *huggers*

LMAO...what should I provoke today...

i find the " no drama" thing ammusing. not all drama is Mary J Bliege type drama, if u follow me. Theres the drama people create, n then theres the natural day to day drama that life OR second life just hands us. but for those shoutin " no drama" if youve figured out a way to cut out all drama even the natural drama that we have no choice over, let me kno, id like to join u in what must be heaven.

Shad, be nice.

no day to day drama? sounds more like hell to me.

I find it ironic, and chuckliingly amusing, that an avatar named after the tragic Longfellow heroine from Acadia is calling for an end to the drama.

I used to be Nice Trin you know that,

But you know what they say...Nice Guys Finish Last ...thats why women settle for Minute men..LMAO

If you'll reread her post, she's clearly not calling for no drama.

*pounces on you and tickles you till you are nice again*

Goes back and rereads.....


Aha! It makes more sense now.

Sometimes you just have to seclude yourself to a quiet corner of the world and just build stuff

In world Im fairly unscathed by whiners, drama, and poop on a stick, I can get all that stuff here in the forums! =P

i am following ferran around on the boards and whining and trying to hand her poop on a stick. yes, i am bored.

so sayeth:

All too often, "NO DRAMA" just means "NO DEPTH".

There's a line between depth and drama - Drama is shallow attention-whoring masquerading as deep or meaningful social exchange or commentary.

One is designed to look like the real thing. The other is the real thing.

So, on the surface, they both look the same. Those who engage often in shallow attention-mongering often confuse the real thing for what they, themselves, have been employing, as they can't fathom that someone else may actually have a depth of character that they, themselves, can only try to emulate.

Usually, though, those who do something that says "Look at MEEEE!" win out in the long run anyways. They have less stake in the outcome.

coward!! take this poop dammit!!

I am changing my sign from "No Drama" to "No Poop on a Stick!"

so sayeth:

I said just the other day.. Theres only one thing more annoying than Drama, No Drama

LOL. And the only thing worse than people talking about you behind your back...is people NOT talking about you behind your back. Rules to live by

All Jesting and Humor of the forums aside.

I find it rather visceral that people presume the depth of ones persona based on their in world avatar or “name”.

I think in a rather anthropocentric sense that to surmise the actions of the inane with those of seemingly immeasurable depth is folly within itself.

Those of the inane typically feign the illusion of shallow diatribe to amuse lacking outlets of pleasure.

Those elite few conjure masses of followers that are lacking in the same mental stimulation.

Thus, they have succeeded in their goals to mask their true inner selves.

But should we judge them any less than the rest of us due to their dramatic masquerade.

I think not as doing so lowers the intellect of those judging to the level of mere children following the Pied Piper.

Then again yuppers there are some stupid people out in the world and they still should all wear signs…

<<<Ends Drama Class 101>>>
For more information don’t call shadow he is to stupid to have written this…LOL
