I'm The Douche

Ferdy2584

'Haven't posted here in a while--but figured I'd share my douche-baggery with you guys since - well-- sometimes the truth is painful So in all my "Holy Roller"-ness I posted a link on the "Just Engaged" forum in the "Show off your ring" thread......the link was an informative piece on conflict free diamonds and all the crap that surrounds how we ,over here in the states, obtain these giant rocks we carry on our fingers. It wasn't anything nasty---no snarky-ness on my end.....but clearly I am the idiot trying to educate women who are (maybe not literally) wearing limbs on their hands...... I guess you could say that I was out of line---but I was just trying to be informative.... I know you'll call it how you see it....so what's your take????

Damnit, who was the other blood diamond girl? Was that Salsa? I'm drawing a blank.

i doubt salsa was blood diamond adverse

melissainabq

WTF were you expecting by posting on a board full of people who just got engaged and are probably quite excited to even have the ring?

modb1rd

yes you are a douche. the show off your ring thread is solely for compaing how much your fi loves you based on the SIZE of the diamond. GAWD. NOONE wants to have a downer like you around.

Everyone knows about blood diamonds.  The NEYers likely had posters in their rooms of Leo and have seen ever movie he has ever made.Are you using artificial flowers?  The floral industry can be as bad as the diamond one. And FFS, stay AWAY from bananas.

I'll channel my inner Inigo Montoya regarding your use of "holy roller."  I do not think it means what you think it means.  "Holier than thou" is perhaps the phrase you were looking for. If they've already been given their rings, there's not much your helpful little link will do for them, other than maybe make them feel guilty.  A better forum would have been "Just for Guys: Buying the Ring"  (given the knot's penchant for adding niche forums lately, just wait for it, I'm sure this one is in the pipeline)If you were genuinely trying to be helpful, and not "snarky" or "I'm better than you because I have a conflict free ring", why would you come to a place called snarky brides for validation?  (Again, Inigo re: "snarky"... I do not think it means what you think it means.)

You wear perfume from Aeropostale? Are you 14?

lind- I see your point....guess I was just trying to get feed back as to if I was truly out of line and new (from past experiences) that i'd get the truth in a straight forward mannerYou wear perfume from Aeropostale? Are you 14?nah- it's just less expensive then Ralph Lauren-- I actually DO shop at Aero though b/c they carry inexpensive "short style" jeans -- I'm kinda tiny.....not quite 5'....

I think she meant to say Holy Diver, and that she has been down too long in the midnight sea. Oh what's becoming of me.
