AYG

Im sorry, but unless its your immediate family member (parents, siblings, nieces/nephews), I just dont think T&P requests make sense.  And even at that rate, unless its a life or death thing, I just am not invested enough to really care all that much.

Also, how well I know you determines if I care about the situation or not.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: AYG : While I agree with the bolded part, I hardly ever participate in AYG or FFF. I can probably count the number of times I've posted in those threads on one hand. I've posted lots of other stuff on SB or participated in threads that have nothing to do with other boards, AYG or FFF. <strong>No hard feelings, I just simply don't agree with Steph on this one.</strong>

I typically don't agree with people who don't like me either.  Mostly because I think I'm pretty awesome.  But I don't typically argue about it with them either, because while I'm convinced I'm awesome, they're convinced I suck, and even though they're wrong, we don't get anywhere.  So I just let them continue to be wrong, and I get satisfaction out of knowing that (as usual) I'm right and they're wrong.

But...I'm not necessarily saying that Steph is wrong.

I also find T&P posts to be slightly ridiculous/awkward. 

I also dislike when people say how blessed they are because of their new iPhone, Prada bag, etc.  It doesn't happen here, but I see it on FB all the time.  (Yes, I know I am doing this wrong).

I just don't open T&P threads unless it's someone I'm relatively close to.  Aka, we talk off TK.  So, if that makes me an asshole, I'm ok with it.  I have enough of my own crap to worry about without adding the problems of relative (or complete) strangers onto it.

[QUOTE]I don't know how often she posts here (I'm pretty sure it's at least occasionally) but lately I just want to break things when I see a post from Jemmini.  I haven't seen her say anything but some variation of "ZOMG learn to speak English you uneducated fool!" for the past month.  I get it, you like good grammar.  You're out to save the masses.  Whatthefuckever.  It's annoying if you say that to every post, especially posts that, while not the prettiest ever, are perfectly readable and understandable.  STFU and get off your high grammar horse.

You guys have the best ideas EVER! I'm going to start keeping an eye on my neighbors and while they are out, I'm going to seize and liberate their houses. I'll be sure to thank each and every one of you for the suggestion, when I accept awards for being such and outstanding peaceful person.

I agree with this. And I'd probably be even less inclined to post about T&P requests for immediate family members. I sometimes feel like there's a lot of empty "you're in my thoughts" passed along in those threads.

But, if my brother's fiance's mom died, I would be really upset by it because our families are good friends.

Yes.  I just got a call that a coworker of mine had a heart attack last night playing hockey and dropped dead.  Im pretty sad about it, but the last thing I would do is post a T&P request.  Its sad for me, but realistically, people who dont know him dont really care.  So when I see requests like that, i think to myself, well that is too bad, but thats about the only thought I give it.

YES!  I don't know if this isyour reasoning, but I feel super uncomfortable when people put other people's crap out there for everyone to see.  Even if we don't know who those people are, I'd be pissed if I stumbled upon someone posting something personal about  me (even in a well intentioned way) all over the internets without my permission.

So I'm totally not comfortable doing that to my family.

Don't feel bad for a flame.  The point of flames is to tell people when something is bugging you.  I know I said this before, and I'm sorry it sounds like a lame copout, but I literally did ask Nates and AATB if I was allowed to post a FB qutoe in my siggy because I wasn't sure if it was allowed.  I was told to go for it, so I did because those two have been around forevre.  I got rid of it as soon as I was told it wasn't the best of ideas.

I felt bad about the bronze thing and apologized for it.  I shouldn't have said it.  I wholheartedly take the flame.

I agree with this, partly because it's a privacy issue. I don't think my mother minds when I talk about how awesome she is, but I think that her problems (not that she has any that I kow of) are not mine to spread around the internet.

ETA: Ooops, J&K beat me to the punch on the whole privacy thing.

Also, I guess I don't understand why people saying "Oh, you're in my thoughts" would make you feel better? If I share something bad it's usually because I think it will make me feel better to talk about it, and maybe for sympathy--which I think is different than knowing people are thinking about me. Does that even make sense?

And now I'll just wait for her to freak the fuuck out in here.

I have multiple grievences with the GIS board.

The first is this "iloveu4ever" chick with 3 tickers.  The stuff she posts over there just drives me batty.  Every time she posts I think "okay....and?" because it barely pertains to the topic at hand.  I'm also torn over whether she just posts unintelligently or is indeed a long-running troll.

The second is the mod over there.  The vendor posts are getting ridiculous but Emy has been MIA for a while now.  If you're not going to do what you said you would,(volunteer to mod) then step down.

In defense of Megh this morning, I think she was sort of in shock and needed to tell someone in order to process. I get like that too. I agree that the interwebs is not necessarily the best way to do that though.

I second this flame. Her rationale was "well you've seen duckface pics of me, so I am definitely real".  Do you know how easy it is to google "duckface" pics and find a ton?  Or even better, to find some college girl's facebook that isn't private and take a bunch of pics off that?  Facebook is a plethora of duckfaces.  I'm not saying she's an AE or troll or whatever, but what do you expect when you post a handful of posts per week and never show photos of yourself?
She took that thread way too seriously.  I've been voted most likely to have an AE, most likely to ask for T&Ps and something else that wasn't that flattering. Who really givesafuck.  If it's true, you shouldn't be getting upset.  If it's not true, you shouldn't really care anyway.
