@kitteh Yes, there is. 'Ignore PMs' will also turn off notifications.

@surreality said in Random Bitching:

Fuck you.

And she wonders at the lack of empathy for her high value victimization. Right then, moving on.

There you go. That's why you got a mention in that regard.

Your reading comprehension clearly still has not improved any. 'Fuck You' was the only takeaway you had from that post, apparently, and all the shit you're ranting about now has already been addressed. Granted, I addressed other shit you continued to bang on about like a glitching hard drive unable to process new or contradictory data, too, so I don't really expect that to make any difference.

If you want it dropped, like all the others who keep coming in here and slinging shit around the moment the dust starts to settle, then fucking drop it.

@Ghost No one gets that card on this forum. It is a non-existent card.

Ghost

@Meg For that, you get...

Roz

I do really wish everyone could just get in the habit of not tagging people if they're not actually addressing them to have a conversation.

ETA: If I tag you, I'm THROWING DOWN.

Meg

@Roz Cash me outside howbow dah.

Ghost

I know I'm not the best voice of reason here, but the truth of the matter is that some of these spats and stances don't truly matter.

I'm going to do my best to not get sucked into that mindset to swing baseball bats at people over shit that doesn't truly matter, but I think a big part of that is realizing that TMZ is not giving any fucks nor reporting on any of this.

I think all some of this stuff does is make it really uncomfortable to find RP, and the people who are more reserved and don't get attached to slugging it out with other people are way smarter than I've been.

Monogram

@Ghost This is why I lurk these days.

surreality

Seriously.

People come to a general agreement and understanding... and kk comes in swinging.

That quiets down with mutual apologies, Kanye Quest characterizes it as me continuing to be a dick to kk.

Now we have the kitteh round as shit starts to settle again.

Really, people? I kinda don't give a fuck what Ganymede suggests in this regard; I'm not going to serve as a punching bag for people to come swinging at the moment the last round dies the fuck down toward peaceability and generalized chill and be 'the one keeping things going'.

@scar said in RL Anger:

@Sparks Agree w @Roz on this one. DMing is gonna steal that last bit of life force. Here, I'll sit in your place -- do they like crying in fetal positions? (I really won't, though. I do not volunteer.)

I arranged someone else to guest-GM, and handed them my notes for the session. Because you are right; I would be dead by the end.

surreality

@Meg It is the rarest rare. I hear it's made from actual gold leaf and magic holofoil.

Ghost

@Monogram That's smart of you.

I'm willing to believe that 90% of everyone on this forum are not pieces of shit. I've had spats with people, even called people rude names, but despite that I still don't think it's likely at all that they're shitty people. In this say and age it is easy to lose compassion and just flame someone over the internet, just like every comments section of every CNN post on Facebook.

But the end result is that people will read how you talk to people, it might make them want to distance from you, and you'll end up being casually avoided because of your behavior on MSB during a period where you weren't at your best.

MUers may not have entirely control over how they're viewed due to the number of judgmental people (and miscommunication that happen) out there, but since most people tend to not end up paging or skyping with people who have decided to view them in a negative light, those opinions don't tend to change.

Best to be aware of that

Thenomain

Paging @EmmahSue and @Sunny: Request to unpack the past three days where appropriate to the Hog Pit.

Sorry in advance.

surreality

@Thenomain Leave me out of it, please. I have tried to make repairs at various points and that is proving entirely futile and irrelevant. There's really nothing worth remarking on from here.

Ghost

In that light, I apologize for calling @saosmash a mean thing.

I missed an opportunity to private message or reply with something like "hey, come on, I'm not trying to piss on something you like, I'm just being snarky about a concept I don't get"

But instead I was like:

I missed an opportunity to present myself as who I am in spirit, and that's 100pct on me.

I think you did a good thing in the end @shangexile . I commend you for that.

@Thenomain Leave me out of it, please.

This isn't about you. This is about this thread being hijacked by people talking shit about each other. I do not read the Hog Pit for a reason. If you think that you are one of those people, regardless of what you think your role in it is, that's on you. My request is made and I am washing my hands of it any further.

surreality

@Thenomain Fair enough. Opting out of there for the time being sounds like a good call, then. Apologies (for real) if this has been stressing you out, as you're a good dude IMO.

Ganymede

@surreality

I didn't suggest that you be a punching bag; I suggested that you be a wall.

Or, in the words of the Emperor in Mulan: no matter how the wind howls, the mountain cannot bow to it.

(Actually, I'm just trying to re-appropriate a cultural meme. If there's one thing I've learned in practice it is when to not respond.)

saosmash

@Ghost Thank you for apologizing. I appreciate it. In turn I apologize for snarking at you initially because it is clear that what I intended to be mild snark came off in a way more nastily than I intended.

I genuinely have no memory of any past axe ground between us before this incident so if there was something else coloring this for you I assure you there was not for me.
