Isn't that what we do in FFF? Flame conversations that are already dead?

I already explained why I brought it up here. And there's clearly enough overlap between the 2 boards for it to be relevant, here. You're being ridiculous.

Oh okay, so what you are telling me is that AYG and FFF can only have stuff from that board? Good luck with that.

I think it is pretty well known that E/SB people are a lot of the same people and I am willing to bet the majority of SBers read FFF and Eeners read AYG. It's not like she is running off to a far corner of Earth to "whine."

DJ, I've noticed that, too, but prior to her posting about knitting, I posted asking someone to talk about something other than ILTR. She obliged. It still wasn't on topic, but at least it wasn't about ILTR.

The press also gets it wrong. First it was 50 injured, now it's 38. First it was a 6 year old, then it was a 9 year old (or maybe it's both)? I wouldn't be completely surprised if it turned out the 3 month old wasn't even in the theatre or something crazy like that. It's a developing story.

Sure, the age thing is a big deal and is a valid debate in its own right, tragedy aside. But I don't agree with your argument about the press being a reliable source of what a "big deal" should be.

I kind of flame this. It's a FFF, we rehash topics of threads from other boards all the time. That is kind of the point. Daff didn't come in here whining about people being mean to her, she flamed others in the thread for how they acted. Pretty much what everyone else is doing in their flames.

The press reported on it because they knew people would be all ZOMG A BABY! I'm not saying this to minimize the tragedy by any means, but it was all the Today show would talk about. The media loves tragedy because it means ratings.

Fair enough. It just made me massively roll my eyes that she is calling us thunderdouches when she was the one being so crappy.

I have NEVER seriously gotten in to it with anyone on TK and I've seen some pretty idiotic things. I just found her statements to be so off the reservation the other day.

And personally... I don't normally bother with FFF for this reason- it's just a place to rehash and revive drama. Which can be fun. But at the end of the day- it's drama.

[QUOTE]Steffi can't be flamed enough for what she said. I don't care if I'm bandwagoning - she just sucks. IamtheMomma's freakout on Dumdum because Dumdum said "Nice reading comprehension" when IATM misread something was a real overreaction. One other one - the thread where the lawyer studying for the bar asked a question and prefaced it with "I know I should know this, but my brain is on overload from studying for the bar, can anyone help?" I thought it was snotty that the first reply was "Well, you're a lawyer, shouldn't you know as well as any of the rest of the lawyers" by Chels. She had just admitted she knew she should know but was overthinking it.
Posted by djhar[/QUOTE]

I'll definitely take that flame. I wasn't trying to be snotty but I totally see how I came off that way. After she clarified though I did say something along the lines of realizing how it was different than what I thought.

Habs2Hart · July 2012

Star - You aren't really around on E very often, yet you are here making a big piss out of this too, so how is this different than Daff on SB in AYG? Or the plane thread?

If people weren't allowed to discuss closed topics, then AYG and FFF wouldn't exist. Plus, Daff is a regular contributor on E, so why the fuuck can't she come here and post?

I agree; the press in general are so excited to be the first to report something that they generally don't check their facts anymore. Remember how the face eating guy was all into face eating because he was high on bath salts? And then turned out he wasn't even on bath salts? All anyone could talk about for weeks was the danger of bath salts but when it turned out it wasn't even a factor, the press barely mentioned it.

I already responded to CEW but yea- fair enough. I think I was wrong in saying Daff shouldn't continue bitching (see I am totally fine admitting that I am not always right). I would have just respected her more if she bitched about it the place it started. I understand there is a ton of SB/E crossover. I, however, do not post on E.

I made a quick comment about it in AYG and then let it be, as I said, because it was clear to me that no one was in the mood to rehash it then and there. I was trying to respect that, TBH, because I don't wander over there to bust balls.

Well that's hardly the reason the numbers aren't right. Yes, of course, they want to get the story out there, but these situations are mass chaos. There are injured people at multiple hospitals throughout the area and they're relying primarily at first on eyewitness reports.

[QUOTE]Arag -- There was slightly more to the Steffi post. She tried to talk to her landlord about, but her landlord is best friends with the dog's owners and he threated to kick her horses out if she contacted the authorities. And the dog's were chasing the horses to the point where she was worried the horses would hurt themselves.
