FFF

Habs2Hart · March 2012

Fuuck, I'm going to flame another new person. Saraandy (or something) in that Laura invitation thread. Friggin "fwiw people here told me my STDs were weird, but I took them to my friends and family and they love them, so don't rely on the opinions of the girls on here' or something to that effect. BECAUSE YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY LIE! WE DON'T (except for Rosie).

[QUOTE]I'm starting to wonder if that sf troll was also KWill. She was really heaping on the stupidity (not knowing what "semantics" means even after people told her to google it), and she disappeared almost exactly when Kwill was outed.

You are reading my mind. I thought so too, but if you go back in SF's posting history, she's asking legit questions on the Washington board about wedding stuff and KWill is from NC I think..

I know. We need some new stuff up here. I haven't got anything really to flame.

ErinG93 · March 2012

I think I could really jive with Mery if she would chill the fuuck out. I get what you're saying Anna, and to a point I agree. I don't hate Mery. I really appreciate the intelligence that you bring to threads, but you are also able to relate to people about normal everyday things, and I don't see that with Mery.

She does add an interesting point of view, but hot damn, the way she goes about it is unbearable. If she came into a chatty thread and actually discussed with people, and later was very academic sounding in debate threads, I'd probably love her to death.

AllAboutTheBenjamin · March 2012

RP, I am never surprised when Mery posts either. It is never surprising to me when she flies in and posts a ton of eye glazing stuff that people either roll their eyes at or get pissed off about, hours later after a thread is dead.

I find myself enjoying Mery from time to time but she can be very condescending and holier than thou about things, which is a huge turn off. She talks down to people and it's pretty shitty.

dumdumfroggie · March 2012

I had one, but it got buried in the troll nonsense. I'll repost though because it was really offensive to me:

I flame StacyCaine for saying that she thinks it's rude when people speak other languages other than English around her because she assumes that they are talking crap about her.

Though maybe they are, she's annoying.

RupertPenny · March 2012

Dumdum, do you have a link to the original post? I think it's rude for people to speak in another language in front of me if I am with them and could be part of the conversation, but it's stupid to get upset about it if it's just the people in line behind you at the grocery store or something.

LDYGTR13 · March 2012

Eye to Eye, Anna. I actually don't mind Mery. Never have, that I recall. She can get condescending sometimes, but I dont think she means it.

I think she's just really passionate and I don't see that as a flaw.

This. Like what she is saying is the end of all opinions. Sometimes I agree with her, but sometimes I want to tell her to step off her platform and join us on earth.

dumdumfroggie · March 2012

Yup.

And I agree with it if you're part of the conversation, but that's not what she's referring to.

RupertPenny · March 2012

I also, over the years, have seen people disparaging Mery (and other people sometimes) for learning things from books. I just don't understand what is wrong with that. It isn't the only way to learn things, or even the best way to learn things, but it sure is a valid and accepted way.

I think this mostly happened in MC's racism thread.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: FFF : As well as it giving her the opportunity to be all "Oh no. All new people aren't lame like that one. Look at me! I'm cool." Oh, and the troll hated me too. And I can't remember a flame I had this week, but it was for either a reg or at least someone who posts enough on the different boards that I recognized them. Someone mentioned having trouble cutting their guest list down to their 350 max. Cue the usual comments on how anyone could have so many people to invite, etc. It seems to me that the two things that are absolutely okay to criticize for a lot of people on here are the size of people's guests lists and the size of people's budgets. <strong>My guest list was big, yes. But I wouldn't say to someone with a small guest list "What? No friends?" because that's not accurate. I think it's equally unfair to act like big guest lists are gift-grabby or AWs.
</strong>Posted by djhar[/QUOTE]

I couldn't agree more. I think a huge indicator on how big anyone's guest list will be is the size of families. Some families are much larger than others, some are smaller, and some aren't very close. Family dynamics are so varied.

I didn't see the thread she did it in, but I agree with you on that. Who cares if people speak other languges around you? If that's the way they're comfortable conversing and they're not talking to you, I don't see the big deal.

kcscejal · March 2012

I don't hate mery. I actually agree with her on most issues. I'm a feminist and extremely liberal socially. I just don't like the lectures in dead threads. It's like she thinks people don't agree with her just because they're too dumb to. Insulting people's intelligence is not the way to get them to see your side.

Well, I've also seen people flat out accuse her of copy/pasting things into threads from whatever she happens to be reading at the time. So there's that.

I'm all about learning, but plagiarizing is kinda lame. At least paraphrase that shiit.

I get where Mery's coming from, and I generally do like to read her POV. I think she's one of the smartest people I know, but I agree she has some major issues with being condescending.

I would very much like to sit in a room with Anna, Mery and Poli and talk about current events and feminism for a really long time. However, Mery seems to forget or not realize that not every single conversation needs to be about feminism.

I was going to flame this but I hadn't gotten around to checking the rest of the thread if it had been done yet. Y'all are moving way too fast.

ETA - And now I see that it indeed already was put in the thread, by the same person.

Nicole, I meant to put this in the superlatives thread, but I can't take you seriously in most threads, except fluffy stuff like this. Any time there's a political discussion or anything like it, I just cannot believe how naive you are.

I'm not saying you need to be fully educated on every single topic that might come up here, but sometimes I want to ask you if you grew up under a rock.

Habs2Hart · March 2012

Now I flame dumdum for posting a flame twice because it didn't get enough attention and for posting the thread as an afterthought aswell. Your flame got acknowledged, move on. What were you expecting?
