What is the worst personal attack you have ever seen in these forums?

To me? Nothing yet.. a couple of comments that made me laugh.. a few that I take as compliments... But absolutely nothing I'd take personally -- simply because none of you know me personally..

And even if you did - hell half the crap said here would still make me laugh.

Siggy.

What's important to know about the quote is that it is crafted as black humor, not an insult. It is a (pulp) fictional narrative for the person-of-interest's notable absence, which in two sentences tells a dark story with allusions to poverty, loneliness, and resignation. I very much enjoy the finish which explains the person-of-interest's sudden surprise return as being due to a comic failure of a kitschy accessory. If Quentin Tarantino had a sig, this would be it.

Additionally, the quote has nothing to do with the person of interest. It's a black little number I've been tossing around for a while waiting for a fun time to spring it. I recognize that it's use was deviant, however it was no personal attack. Thus it made my sig line, because I realized I had crafted a piece of black humor that was employed in a deviant fashion that resulted in a formal warning from an authority figure. I like stuff like that. A lot.


As for deference to the suicidal or depressed, I would say its lack of deference is precisely what makes it black. For those who are truly disturbed by it, I recommend first never setting foot into a Hot Topic and second placing me on their ignore list.

Alright, if that is the stance you are going to take on it instead of just having the grace to recognize that it would be hurtful to people, I'll take your advice. One can be provocative and still show some semblance of decency and consideration for others.

The one thing I've seen here that raised my brows more than anything else was someone being accussed of using their SL-related website to snatch IP numbers, out alts and track down RL information on people. It wasn't just a personal attack about the victims character and ethics, it was an outright paranoid, dellusional lie, and libel to boot.

Is this also what made you an intellectual? No really I am curious.

This is off topic, so if you'd like to send me a PM or an email, I'd love to discuss this with you in person. The benefit is that we could spare the other folks in this thread your passive-aggressive cut and thrust along with my blunt and cruel ripostes.

Well stated Cris. I agree as well that this was one of the worst I've seen (despite the later explanation, it still leaves a knot in my gut to read it). And many know there is no love lost between me and the person that statement was posted to. I just still don't like it. I never put anyone on ignore though, so I'll just have to try and glaze over that sig.

The other "worst personal attack" I've seen would be the one that Jon talks about in her post.

Number eighteen in 1988, Charlie Babbitt squeezed and pulled and hurt my neck in 1988.

You, ma'am, are worse than *edited*

Oooh! I have to agree with this one.

I dont know of which people you speak, but some of the worst personal attacks I have had to suffer here were from folks who were forum "stars" to everyone else, "nice guys" treating me like a piece of crap because I am female and not only not noticing they are doing it but having no one else notice either.

That kind of condescending chauvanist crap by people like "Nose Chew" is the only stuff outside of Ulrika that ever got me really really upset. I would rather be told to "f*ck off" or have a direct insult than to be patted on the head by a bigot in a public forum.

Sure! in person with kancho assassin! You are kidding right? I wouldn't dare in million years.



I am greatly pleased you displayed glimmer of compassion for other folks, how nice

WTF??????????


Am I missing something???

The thread can die now, it's been Godwined.

I do believe I win at this anyways --the level of personal attack I used to recieve regularly at the hands of one Mr. Stygian makes all other personal attacks on this board utterly mundane.

I am Kendra Bancroft. Waste of Human sperm.

Introvert, I'm in a hurry and haven't read this thread at all, just glanced at the last page, and this jumped out, and, I think I love you!

cici

oops i mean coco, gotta run, gonna go see my girl's place at college today!

the worse personal atack ive seen on these forums is when some of you guys got on my case about "lake charlotte", that was pretty funny. i still like to go back and reread it sometimes, it always makes me laugh.

bette aka reddish tigereye

The wounds of Lake Charlotte are still fresh like yesterday. I sold my land because of that trash.

I edited out some particularly inflammatory language from this thread and wanted to remind everyone to please keep it on-topic.

It's just humor, Merwan. I believe it's taken directly from a Simpson's quote substituting the original "sir" with "ma'am".


Not to wax philosophical in the midst of a reference to Hitler but I never realized that I had, hands down, crafted the most devastating and disturbing retort that the forums had ever seen. What's interesting is that to me it is light fare, merely a little black humor amidst the backdrop of the more pedestrian and vulgar name calling. I wonder what would have happened if I really had created a larger toe-curling Stephen-King-esque piece with some real effort behind it.


EDIT: In the time it took me to make this post, the word "Hitler" has been edited out of the entire thread. Given that it wasn't used as an insult and that it's not being used to promote neo-Nazi ideology, I don't see why it couldn't stay.

~Ulrika~

Flip got edited? *gasp*

I always wanted to be worse than edited

I have just been accused of being the one to make this awful statement regarding what a person said to someone about their abortion choice based on their words. I would NEVER say something like that. Another person stated it and I never even saw it. I only agreed with Eboni when she mentioned it in another thread that I agreed that was an awful statement.

So for the record, if anyone thinks I stated this horrible thing. I did not.

OMG, you can't say Hitler in forums? LOL This is what I imagine public school is like in California. Political Correctness taken to staggering and frightening levels.


It is nice to see that Ulrika's quote of love in her signature is allowed to soldier on in these forums.


Damn, these forums are a joke.

Wow since no one actually publicly accused you, you just outted yourself. Nice job. *Golf Clap*

No. I wasn't sure who you may have told I said that. Or if maybe they thought so based on the way your responded to me in that thread:
