Ask a knottie/the knot anything...

Go ahead. All those burning questions that you always wanted to ask someone and never had the balls to. The knottie reserves the right to answser or not answer.

Zippity: What's your schtick?

Why are people on The Knot never satisfied? People are always bored or pissed?

Why did the Future Mrs. thing get dropped so easily?

    Why are people on The Knot never satisfied?  <strong>Maybe they're just like my mother.  (ETA - please tell me someone gets that reference)</strong>
     
    People are always bored or pissed?

    Why did the Future Mrs. thing get dropped so easily?  <strong>GOOD question.  I'd loveto know, too.  </strong>

  • I'm not bored. Yeah, it's been slow on E lately, but things will pick back up. They always do. And it usually starts with 18 newbs all asking how they can not invite kids. When the first page of threads is about not inviting kids, it's picked up.

    I think the FutureMrs thing got dropped because A. though there was extremely compelling evidence, no was was really able to prove anything concretely enough to do anything about it and B. because even if we could prove it, it would still be up to KA to do something like ban her, or get her IP address banned. And KA hates us.

    Probably because theknot was threatening special bannination.
  • Re: FutureMrs. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Clearly, TK has decided it's not worth pursuing. What are we going to do? Follow her around and hound her into GBCKing, possibly getting banned ourselves? Make a new post everyday complaining about it? Since we don't talk about it, it got dropped to easily. If we kept talking about it, we'd just be harping on it and people would complain then.

  • Fishy, is your name really Christy?  I saw that in the thread yesterday, and just don't think of you as a Christy.  Actually, I can't think of you as anything other than Fishy.

    Hey! I just got back to work yesterday after the honeymoon to Napa. I posted a few terrible non-pros here last Monday before we left. I'll have pros in a few weeks and then I'll do a big post. :-)

    Yes.  I get over it, but yeah.  I usually feel misunderstood, even when in retrospect I wasn't misunderstood at all.  People just didn't like what I had to say.

    Posted by crfische[/QUOTE]

    I've only seen myself get flamed once, and it was from someone who didn't understand that what I said was sarcasm.  So I really didn't care, but I did flame her back for not having a sense of humor or getting the sarcasm.  Thats the only flame i've seen, but I usually get on later than most people in the morning so by the time I get to the FFF thread its 10 pages in and I don't read it all.

  • I haven't yet been flamed in FFF that I'm aware of.  But yeah, when I've been flamed, I have to admit, it does sting a little.

  • Random thoughts:

    - It's dead everywhere these days. What is going on?

    - <3 OWN. I got your reference.

    - I've only been flamed once, but it was sort of a mistake the way it came on, so it probably didn't burn me like it could have. Plus, the person made it sound like a poem, so I couldn't help but be amused. The thing that makes me feel worse in FFF is fighting with people.

  • FFF stuff- I don't get hurt generally speaking.  I do roll my eyes though. :D

  • Speaking of poems, does anyone else miss JessnGiff?

  • FFF - yeah, a little, but it depends who it is and what it's about.

    I really like the name Christy, btw.

  • Why are people on The Knot never satisfied? People are always bored or pissed?

    Humans are natural born complainers. I prefer when everyone is pissed, as it provides more entertainment to make my boring workday move quicker.

    Why did the Future Mrs. thing get dropped so easily?

    Honestly, had Future Mrs. been a reg on E, the situation would have ended MUCH differently. Anyone who wants to dispute that fact is delusional.
