Once upon a time in another virtual world far away where I was not know for being rude I actualy did work on it for a single post in a forum made for just that purpose. I spent at least an hour composing this seathing mean rude post full of insults, swear words and stuff and then spat it out on the thread which was a huge flame thread anyhow. Everyone did a double take and decided I had lost it and was being an "idiot" in a flame thread. I then decided that we have our personas and even though someone else who is regularly known for flaming in a similar manner that I had just done would probably be praised for it.. if ya arent known for it everyone is gonna look at you funny and then laugh and point and send you to the rubber room..
I guess its like "real life" some people are known for being hotheads and so its almost acceptable for them to be hot heads.. others are known for never getting angry and so when they do everyone kinda screws up their faces and runs or calls 911 or something to have you carted away This is something I have learned long ago. Normaly i'm always smiling and happy and just friendly period. The world can be caving in around me and I'm stilll not particularly upset or even angry. Then one day something happens and I actualy do get angry and show it.. everyone looks at me like I dont lost it .. although the anger (possibly rudeness cause usualy 87697 swear words come out and I"m not known for ever swearing) are not misplaced in the situation and hothead bob down the street woulda not bothered anyone with his anger for me its unusual and I am told such a dramatic change that it scares people. "OMG you must be REALLY angry to be sounding like that. " or "You swear? ". I get puzzled but it happens (err once every 2 -3 years..) that anyone would be amazed that I actualy can get angry and be mean just like anyone else its simply when it happens its for a reason and not just something I do everyday.. err shuts up now.. ... _____________________

The folks that fill the forum up with non-support threads and posts aren't actually as polite as they think they are.

You offend me with your lily-livered huggery and mealy-mouthed, "balanced" opinions. I don't want measured commentary, I want advocacy and energy and heated debate and, good god, _proper insults_. It was much better when Ulrika was here, I'll tell you that much. No it wasn't! She kept trying to get me banned. coco _____________________

This whole turn another person's thread around thing has already been done. And done when there was a moderator to shut it down! Now what? It'll be anarchy! Fires, looting, dogs laying with cats! Madness!! but strangely enough...no pie ![]() _____________________
There's, uh, probably a lot of things you didn't know about lindens. Another, another interesting, uh, lindenism, uh, there are only three jobs available to a linden. The first is making shoes at night while, you know, while the old cobbler sleeps.You can bake cookies in a tree. But the third job, some call it, uh, "the show" or "the big dance," it's the profession that every linden aspires to.

Dang. *fiddles with her knife* I have to laugh ... is it normal if you end a relationship with a German guy that over six months later they're still trying to prove they are better than you are and make sure the message gets back to you? /me shrugs noncomittally at this scenario, cos it's so ancient history, and says "Anyone in need of a good hard caning report to me immediately!".* * Management reserves the right not to actually cane you |
