I think that's how I read it and so therefore interpreted it differently than everyone else.  Obviously if she was b!tching about it, they must not be super close so maybe where I read that as a given and so didn't flame her for feeling that, others didn't read it the same way.

WHOA! there is no way we are getting to the hugs and feelings portion of FFF already. Back off people.

But yea, I don't follow TR's posts enough to really know her, but I think she got over the topped flammed in the Haiti post. Again, maybe I just don't know enough. When people talked about her the other week I didn't even know who she was.

Is it okay to say nice things about people on this thread?  What are the rules and what does FFF stand for?  Thanks.

Dudes, if you've lurked the boards you know the kind of stuff youre going to get and from who. Complaining when the things that you like about people and find entertaining get turned on to you, is just silly.

This board is very, very predictable. It shouldn't be rocket science to figure out the shiit you should and shouldn't post.

mandysmear

I vote ass shot!  Or you should have two side by side.  Ass and face.

I viewed it as close-sibling or not, she could have declined. People miss family events due to work. It happens. You deal. Go and deal with consequences, or don't go and deal with consequences. Make a choice and don't feel like anyone owes you anything.

<div>Goodness, Kiki. I've never had a problem with you. Ever. But--don't GBCK because people are telling you how it is. It's hard to by into someone who's opinions change on things when it suits their moods. You liked FFF when it was you pointing the finger at others, but it's not so nice when the tables are turned. We all know that. Not a single person here LIKES it when someone calls them an idiot, or worse. But we suck it up, and move on. </div>

Flame Free Friday - means you can post what's on your mind about other knotties here, things they've said that bugged you or you don't like, and they aren't supposed to get defensive and flame you back for saying it.  They probably will anyway, but they aren't supposed to.  Positive things are fine too I guess. ;)

Leslie (not kiki, the internet robot), this is crazy.  You seem to be all over the place.  One minute you get P&E and the next you don't.  One minute you play ring leader and next you're cowering in the corner.

It SUCKS when people bag on you in FFF threads.  Obviously, I know.  But this sounds like you're about to swallow some pills or something.  I don't think I've ever cried about a comment someone made to me on here (and I'm fairly sensitive).  Look at it objectively or just stop playing for awhile. 

mandysmear

Yeah Danieliza, different minds, different opinions That's what makes the world/board go 'round. 

I am going to flame myself because I get to meet Smokey Bailey and Sascha in 20 days.  That's way too much awesomeness for Vegas to handle.

FFF = Flame Free Friday, where you are supposed to be able to flame anyone for anything and not have it argued to death. Sometimes people will say nice things in defense of a poster getting flamed, but if you want to initiate something nice about someone it's probably best to start a new puppies and rainbows thread.

P2 IS stunning in her picture. She looks like an A&F model to me. It's too good of a pic NOT to show off. This isn't meant to kiss P2's ass, but it's a good pic!

Completely agreed.  If its a candid of you and other people, or of you doing something funny or you just standing in front of a building, whatever.  But these close up myspace style shots?  Screams "Look how awesome I am!"

I don't think she is on right now so I feel bad flaming her but I seriously judged Roxy for being all cavalier about her FI being on that ridiculous diet that Sucrets posted about.  If my FI was eating 500 calories a day and injecting himself with some crazy hormone in attempt to lose 10 lbs for vacation we'd be having a SERIOUS conversation.

Ok please, let us STOP rehashing the brunch thread again. It is building back up again... eeek. kthnx.

On a side note: does any one remember how FFF originated, or who originated it? I don't remember it being around when I first joined, but maybe it was...

Kati0105

Also, Kiki, how can you say in one breath you don't care if people like you and then say in the next breath that you are GBCKing because these threads make you cry?  Seriously, honey, make up your mind and grow a thicker skin.

smokeybailey

Yay, Mandy.  I agree that is way too much awesomeness to handle.  Oh, and I get to go to an LA GTG the next night. 

beatlesgirl25

I'm with Nebb. You wouldn't throw that teaser out if part of you didn't really want to share it. Plus, it's not allowed... one of the rules of FFF.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: FFF : I'm just playing devils advocate, but if you know that you've been talked about in previous posts, is it really that easy to ignore it? I think I'd have to check just to see if there was anything or if it was finally over. I guess I kind of see it as reading honesty/wanting to know the truth; ex. I'd rather know that my FI thinks I need to lose a few pounds rather than read an email where he was telling someone else I was fat.
Posted by lovethebeach16[/QUOTE]

I see your point. 

I also think that for as much as Kiki has been dishing it lately with call-out posts and "snark", I'm disappointed in her for not being able to take it as well.  Nothing said here today is any different than things I've seen said about her before and if you're going to go around being "snarky" to everyone else, you better be prepared to get it thrown back to you at some point.
