Ok, that's fine. I'll just put it here then, shall I?

I don't care how long you feel the need to insult me. Nor do I even care how long you want to insult my intelligence or education. I saw two women getting very upset and wanted to ask them to calm down. You were very upset, to the point of dropping multiple F-bombs. I didn't think that was very calm, so I said something about it.

My lands! Where to start? It’s like a cornucopia of judgmental ignorance! Mmmmm. . . breakfast! First, I can insult you all day long, but. . . meh. I have achieved my goal and the other forumites have gown bored and moved on. So too, shall I. But not far, just to your next statement: Dearest, you are not the Forum police. It is not your job to calm the rowdy populace. If you want someone to calm down, say so, something along the lines of, “Whoa, this is getting intense!” Alas, you chose to be condescending.  That does tend to piss people off, I find.  “PUT THIS PAPER BAG OVER YOUR FACE, YOU HYSTERICAL FUCKING NUTJOB WOMAN!” is not generally the way to go.

And you're right, I shouldn't have said "mommy card". Next time I'll simply ask that people put their emotions back in their pockets.

I must reiterate my statement that you are not the Forum Sheriff and it is not your duty to ask people to “put their emotions back in their pockets.” Not your job. At all.

I really don't care if my having an opinion bothers you.

Your having an opinion does not bother me at all, you being a lemming would be far more obnoxious. But you’re not and good for you! What you are is a bitch. And that is wonderful! Love it! Accept it! Embrace it! But please kindly back up your “facts” with um. . . you know. . . facts? Have an opinion, but don’t hold it so supreme. Sometimes you are *GASP!* wrong. Have the good grace to accept that, acknowledge it and if necessary, apologize. It won’t kill you.

You seem to be offended by everything you don't agree with. I'm sorry you get upset by nearly everything I say. Frankly, I don't care if you like what I say or not. I don't care if you respect me.

And this is where you seem to be getting a wee itty bit confused. You appear to be laboring under the delusion that you know me and to use a lovely catch phrase “Grrrrrrrrrrrrl! You don’t know me!”  I do not get upset by everything you say. Generally I ignore the shit out of you. I can think of several occasions where you have hacked me off, but very few to which I have deigned to respond. Please cite your sources, dear, as I disagree with you and am offended. (Ok, that was pure snark.) You have just sublimely described your number one fault – you get wildly bent out of shape if anyone dares to have an opinion contrary to yours, but you also have this petulant little habit of just saying things that have no basis in reality and then you get in a strop if someone points that out. I’m referring here to THIS thread, the bit about the sizing. There are others, but I can’t be bothered.

But I am off topic again, where were we? Oh yes, you think I get offended by everything you say. Um, no. Sorry. You really aren’t that important in my life. You are a person on the internet. Think about that. Think about the fact that you took time out of your day to write me a long, detailed and clearly emotional nasty-gram. (To which, I get to respond! Lord! It’s like Christmas came early!)

 

If it makes you feel better, you've lost any respect I had for you a while ago. You crack jokes about being a bitch. Well, I think you've earned that title by going off on people for stating an opinion. We're all entitled to our opinions, and I think it's wrong of you to think your opinion more valid or correct

 I must confess, that I wasn’t even aware that I felt bad about losing your respect for me? Gracious, it’s a good thing you’re here!  I do crack jokes about being a bitch. I am a bitch. And I didn’t earn that title, I gave it to myself. It is who I choose to be. Don’t feel bad.

I honestly don’t know what kind of lovely life you live, dearest, where everyone agrees with each other all the time. No one ever disagrees? No one ever engages in academic discussion and argument?  “That must be frustrating.” Again, I think you need to re-evaluate to whom you are speaking. Or cite me doing this. I simply have no idea to what you are referring, darling.

just because you popped a kid out. You don't know everything about anything, and I think you forget that.

And this is where we seem to get to the heart of the matter: Problems, dearest? Not caused by me, I assure you. Not caused by any one on the Forum. I didn’t say anything to that effect. I cannot control what you infer, but this seems to speak to a deeper, personal  issue that I have no opinion on. You might want to take a Percocet and deal with this on your own time.

I simply cannot fathom getting so upset over what goes on on the internet! What is this new breed of forum user? Where do you all come from? What internet have you people been using for the last 10 years? Certainly not the same one I have! On your internet, strangely akin to the Other world on Fringe, there seems to be peace, love and joy and no one is ever mean. Everyone is nice to each other all the time and there is respect and hot chocolate. Isn’t that charming? On this internet, it’s kind of different: We express what we feel and how we think and if people get offended – who gives a fuck? I’m not here to be your friend. I have friends. I’m sure you have friends. I’m not here to make you like me and I think I must have missed your memo where you explained to me that you are here to make me like you. Well. . . sorry. I don’t. And it’s nothing to be ashamed of, darling! You’re allowed to dislike people! I’m allowed to dislike people! But I’ll tell you what I told Ed, (or rather, I’ll paraphrase and reshape for context) if the TBF were a less strictly enforced forum, you would have been (would be? Not sure about the tense here. Stupid hypotheticals!) in a world of hurt. You have presented your ass to be flamed so very many times it’s actually kind of cute. BUT! no one did! Because it is not tolerated on the TBF. Anywhere else, however (here specifically) it’s all about the lulz and you would be n00b meat.

So, whatever. I'm done with that stupid thread. I'm done shouting publically at each other. If you want to continue to insult me in any thread, feel free. Just know this is the last direct response you'll get from me on anything.

I hope you enjoy the quiet.


I’m so glad you chose to end with this!  My own response is simply this: I know you are, but what am I? (see what I did there?)
