[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Why is everyone so mean? : Firstly, LOLOLOLOL isn’t colloquialism, sweetie (unless you actually say that, in which case, wow.) Secondly, I believe there is a different site devoted to married people: The Nest. I might suggest polluting their boards with false colloquialisms instead. A married person needing to re-visit a site for to-be-weds is kind of like a college grad trying to go to prom: regardless of the reasoning that person tries to give, it just kind of seems lame. Thirdly, if you actually had read the post I was replying to, the argument was that people use big words to “compensate” for other positive attributes, the irony there of course being that it was a horribly composed sentence rife with improper word usage. Finally, there is nothing wrong with taking yourself seriously. It’s called being mature. If you don’t take yourself seriously, you end up laughing when you can’t think of anything smart to say and acting like a petty high school kid when you are supposedly an adult.

Hahaha! I felt my asshole tighten up just reading this. Must be contagious. And I figured you'd fall into my "colloquialism" trap and come in all finger-wagging and over-correcting, so thanks for being predictable. It's like shooting fish in a barrel. <--- now THAT'S a colloquialism.

ETA: Also, I did get the super-innovative and hard-to-figure-out point you were trying to make about compensating, I just thought it was funny that you misspelled "compensation." Geez, lighten up lady.

[QUOTE]Why are you such an asshole? ETA: Oops, responded to your other asshole post, didn't see the one directed at me. Mmhmm, that's what I meant, it's because I have a hard time reading. That's why I spend lots of time reading and responding on a message board. Boy, how foolish of me.
Posted by MandK9[/QUOTE] My entire point wasn’t even to play the catty asshole game with a bunch of hopeless, laughable people who are clearly more experienced at it than I. My point was to explain why some people are that way. The beauty of this is that every sorry attempt at an insult further proves me right. See, that’s just what I’m saying. You clearly are spending too much time on message boards. How many posts is it now, over 1,000? Whew! I don’t even say that to be an asshole. This is genuine concern. Just know, I care, but I think you have a problem. [QUOTE]::pats Whit's head:: Try to have sex in a while, Whit. It might improve the "stick up your ass" situation you have going on.
Posted by ZombieNates[/QUOTE] I told someone else this, but it apples here too: “A married person needing to re-visit a site for to-be-weds is kind of like a college grad trying to go to prom: regardless of the reasoning that person tries to give, it just kind of seems lame.” Classy suggestion! Yeah, I guess it didn’t occur to me that when you are trashy, sex is a valid solution to your problems. Try to understand, I’m very much above that. If being genteel means that you think I have a stick up my ass, so be it; it’s better than being uncouth any day. [QUOTE]The next time I take a dump, I'm going to name it WhitMichelle.
Posted by cew515[/QUOTE] The fact that you name your excrement, or even would think to say that, proves my initial point. You are such a classy lady. ;) [QUOTE]In Response to Re: Why is everyone so mean? : Dude. You MADE UP a word. It's not as if you decided to replace a simple word with a more interesting one. You took a perfectly good word ("juvenile") and fancied it up by adding an unnecessary syllable. That HAD to have taken some effort. And if that doesn't smack of "excessive" then I don't know what does. ETA: The alternative is that you're not too bright. I'll allow for that as well.
Posted by arwo[/QUOTE] I Let me start by saying that I am thankful to see a glimmer of other intelligent life on this board in your posts. However, I don’t understand why you would say dude. That phrase masculinizes you, which doesn’t lend itself to the argument of acting like a lady.

Clearly, since the rest of the board is having such a hard time handling basic words, my intelligence level is not the one in question here. Unfortunately, the alternatives you’ll “allow for” are both invalid; I suggest you think a little harder. [QUOTE]In Response to Re: Why is everyone so mean? : You speak the truth.

I never claimed to act like a lady. (I like to think that I act, first and foremost, like a human being. I might be concerned if you were to claim that my use of the word "dude" dehumanized me; however, given that no other known species uses it, I find it unlikely that my use could do so.) I do find the idea that the use of a single word is "masculinizing" (or feminizing, for that matter) to be somewhat absurd. I suppose my definition of femininity may be different from yours. My definition suits me just fine.

I'm not sure that the "juvenility" substitution works quite as well as you think, as the sentence would thus be: "People of this sort cannot handle being chastised or reminded of their juvenility behavior because..."

Surely you can see the error in this. I expect that you mean you should have written "juvenility" instead of "juvenilic behavior." ("Juvenile behavior" would have worked as well.) Still, my point stands, at least regarding your word choice. You chose a construction in which you made up a word, instead of either of two simpler but correct options, which led me to believe that you were (are) trying too hard.

MandK9 · May 2011

God dammit. I don't give a half sh*t what you think of me, because you're a bitter and nasty person. I don't go around insulting anyone, unless they whip out the bitch stick first, and you came fully armed. So STFU and stop being such a prick. The most repugnant behavior I see on these boards comes from high-and-mighty posters like you, not from the people you came in here hoping to tear down. If you hate message boards with regs so much, get the hell out of here.

Man, someone's either fresh out of her liberal arts college with a raging hardon for feminism or too busy clutching her pearls with her lace gloves to have a thought in her pretty little head. Get over yourself dude, I'd hate to see you go into hysterics.

[Deleted User] · May 2011

Oh good lord, Whit. What thefuck are you trying to do here? If we just agree with you that we are a bunch of dumb, classless, cunts will you go away?

I think part of being an adult is realizing when you are being an idiot and just bowing out gracefully. The fact that you keep beating this dead horse proves you to be just as immature and classless as the rest of us.

Rosie109 · May 2011

Speak for yourself CEW I take pretty classy dumps.

sarah0725 · May 2011

You know, people who are actually smart don't go around trumpeting how smart they are and telling everyone else that they're dumb. They just... are smart. And people notice.

Even if you actually are smarter than everyone else here (which I highly doubt), you shouldn't be going around telling people that. It's classless and rude, and hurtful if it's actually true. Also, you can't "prove" that you're smart by arguing about why you are smart. It kind of goes the other way, actually.

1st. 13,000 post is because i take my Knot Career very seriously.

2nd. Check the thread history? I am part of the thread history. Perhaps you should check it yourself. Mr. Moony presents his compliments to WhitMichelle, and begs her to keep her abnormally large nose out of other people's business.

3rd. I never said you made me feel clever. You certainly shouldn't put words into people's mouths. In fact, I think you should probably keep some of them out of your own.

4th. I was going to type something terribly witty here but then figured I must be to dumb, so why bother trying.

Sounds like hypoplastic left heart syndrome. Although in that case, the left ventricle is too small to support life in the absence of surgical intervention.

I think in this case that she probably is effected by opticorectalsclerosis or recto-xylectomy.

Dear WhitMichelle,

In two separate posts, you've made the exact same comment regarding married women coming onto these boards. I, for one, appreciate having the input and experiences of these women. There have been several times that I have been saved from a headache or faux pas because of conversations on this board. The guidance they've offered is invaluable. You, on the other hand, have provided no new knowledge, no guidance and have contributed nothing of value to this board or thread. Best wishes planning your wedding SOMEWHERE ELSE.

Sincerely,
Bkseller

I do not post often.

But this thread is so fun! First off, yes reminds me of the Joey episode of Friends.

Most people when they use "big" words in a casual setting are doing so to make themselves look better. Honnneeyyy you do not look better. You made yourself look dumb.

You keep insulting people for having a lot of posts here Yet you keep responding to this message. How pathetic you are to care that much about a message on a message board when you look down on people who post on one.

I love message boards (side note)

PS. Just because you memorized what longer words mean, does not make you smart. Some people are good at memorizing. I suck at grammer, I do not care. Does not make me dumb, because I am more knowledgable in many other areas. Should I throw that in your snotty face.

Thanks for entertaining me. And why did you reply to an old thread..it says how old it is. Maybe you aren't too good at reading..just typing long words.

toodles
