[QUOTE]Well, the board was rather snippy with Miss I-have-a-sharty-secret last night . . .

That very well may be true, but since Lenore claimed there was nothing precipitating this, and it had nothing to do with this board in general, I'd love to know what her point in posting it here to begin with was.

ohwhynot · August 2010

Then I got nothing (and even that was a joke - of course the board would be snippy with an obvious and obnoxious troll). Lenore?

AllAboutTheBenjamin · August 2010

Was Lenore around for that last night? I was for the beginning but then left but yeah, the farting-sharting-poster was pretty deserving of any snippy remarks.

Well has there been anything lately that hasn't been lovefesting? I seem to recall some poll recently that had a "dislike" knottie option. But I'm here so sporadically, it could have been awhile ago. And I don't remember anyone getting picked on or unfairly treated.

Holy crap, sorry for the gigantic sig pic. I keep resizing it smaller, but it won't take. I'll take it off completely in a minute.

I thought it was a random thought at first, but after reading all 4 pages I too am now curious if something spurred this post on. I haven't seen anything all that judgmental on SB except to those who deserved it.

If this is truly something OP has only seen on E, then it should be posted there. Unless she's afraid of their reaction (I probably would be). I think I've actually been kind of nice lately.

J&K10910 · August 2010

I think even I'VE been nice lately. MIAF said so.

Are we not doing that game anymore? Sorry...

God, mara...you're so immature.

I got told I was part of the welcoming committee in some poll, so I think we've softened up, J&K.

It must be my wedding planning. It's turned me into a softy.

Ahem...still waiting, Lenore. I'm curious about Betrothed's question as well.

I wish you bitches would quit talking about my penis.

Cew, it's not always about your penis. Stop being so narcissistic, Cew's penis.

Lenore2010 · August 2010

There has been a veritable love fest on here lately, absolutely. I have said time and time again I think this is actually a pretty decent place. If I did not I would not be here.

Still, there are moments where I feel that people ME included on SB and off SB (message boards in general) have gone a ways into "your are an idiot retarded moron bitch because you said so and so". My point is, yes I can be annoyed as hell with what you said but DAMN I don;t know you in real life even and maybe I need to get some perspective and see you are not essentially a worthless human being because you said some things that pissed me off".

That was truly my only point. It is something I have seen on SB and off SB and no it was not sparked by anything recent or any one thing in particular.

I am sure some will find that explanation insufficient, but there it is and I really can;t think of anything else to say on the topic at the moment.

You're right, I do find it insufficient because it still doesn't explain why here and why now. There had to be something that made you think of this and post it here today.

Nothing other than that I post on SB most days, and have seen lots of stuff off SB and a few things on SB that made me think of it. I am a person of sometimes random thoughts and ideas that I pipe up about. You strike me, from as much as I can know from a message boards as a person of more straight forward, logical thought processes, which is all good. Just a difference between us.

That would not be a terribly constructive thing to be talking about. That is basically dredging shiit up for fun. I am not into that, particularly with posts that have nothing to do with me. It is not unheard of, but rare that I get on a thread and get upset about someone's conduct towards another poster. I figure they are big kids and can take care of themselves. One exception was P2 jumping on Cew, but that was just wild.

But you had no problem creating the OP, obviously with the express purpose of stirring shiit up? Yeah, that's in no way hypocritical.

I thought it might inspire some discussion. I thought it might get ignored. I was not appreciating how preachy it came off, which I already apologized for because it was unintended. That was why it "stirred shiit up" it seems.

B, if I burped wrong you would find fault with it. That is the personal aspect to this with you and as I said, you are fully intitled to your opinions.

I rest my case.

J&K10910 · August 2010

I'm also kind of confused as to how you thought your vague, mildly condescending OP would be constructive, but giving specific examples would not be. If it's something you'd really like to see changed (not that it's likely to happen) people need to know what they're "doing wrong".

Specific examples involve calling people out on stuff that they in turn feel a need to argue about/defend/whatever that I was not even a part of. Bringing this up as a topic, perhaps with a different tone might have started a postive discussion, but likely NOT on this list. A mistake to post it with this tone and on this list, for sure.

beatlesgirl25 · August 2010

I know you meant well Lenore, but I've gotta agree that it seemed weird to make a point of what has gone wrong here but not name specific examples. To me, that's worse than not naming examples, because then no one can change and it just sounds kind of judgy and passive-aggressive. Whenever anyone posts on these boards about some board dynamic that they're dissatisfied with, the first thought is usually, "okay, what happened? Which thread?" Usually you can tell why said poster would have a problem with the dynamic because it will immediately follow a thread where they got flamed or something, but this wasn't the case today so I for one was curious as to what DID happen.
