Dangerous.

@kitteh said in RL Anger:

Anyway, no one gets the authority of the final word, especially when the final word is nasty. I will stop at the point where there are no factual arguments left to make or, like most people, I get bored or RL calls me back.

Okay but...

Not seeking a resolution but wanting the last word equals...

@saosmash said in RL Anger:

@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.

Water under the bridge.

I have to understand that my style of communication sometimes leaves snarky sarcasm indistinguishable from talking shit. It doesn't help that I HAVE been guilty of talking shit, which only makes it more likely that sarcasm will be taken as such when it wasn't my original intention.

That and people wanna stand up for their friends and the games they enjoy, because when people are assholes/overcritical about games, it discourages them.

Queue an apology I made to @Seraphim73 and @GirlCalledBlu nearly a year ago that I'd forgotten why I'd made it in the first place.

I'm still going to back off of poking around games for a while to give people room, but really I need to revisit my priorities, anyway.

Why did I care so much about a journal system? PFEH, at the time I was thinking about metagaming and I think the idea crossed wires with other issues I've had over the years, so I got sarcastic.

Not a hill worth fighting on to begin with.

@kitteh what resolution are you actively seeking in this situation?

I'm not being snide when I ask this.

This is going to drag on forever and I think the best thing that both yourself and @surreality can do at this point is to either take it to private messages, or respectfully, without rude language, state what your preference for resolution is.

This:

Not this:

If @saosmash and I, or @shangexile and @surreality can find a decent resolution that puts the knives away, so can you.

@Ganymede

There's a time to be Londo
There's a time to be G'kar
There's a time to be Delenn
There's a time to be Shepard
There's a time to be Vir

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.

@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

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.

@Meg For that, you get...

@kitteh said in RL Anger:

????? What on earth do you think you're saying, you egocentric living drama pile?

Not slinging mud here, but I'm taking your "she's keeping this going, not me" card away from you.

Because it is Summer, I rewatched Wet Hot American Summer on Netflix.

It's stupid and slapstick, but I have a soft spot for the gang from ('The State','Viva Variety','Reno 911','Stella')

...and yes, I've been working all day and with all of the DB work I've been up to my brain treated this list like a SQL query

set isolation to dirty read;
select * from cast_nam
where show_nam in ('The State','Viva Variety','Reno 911','Stella');

• Michael Ian Black
• Michael Showalter
• Thomas Lennon
• Kerri Kenney-Silver
• Ken Marino
• Joe Lo Truglio

Anyway, it's a good no-stress show for the season if you dont mind lowbrow humor, and the list of celebrity cameos is insane. The follow-up is being released on Aug4.

@Jennkryst said in Meg's Playlist:

There is a suspicious lack of Mummiez on F&L, but I will look into things.

He'll, even the actual Luxor Casino removed all/most of their Egyptian decor and replaced it with neon purple lighting and Criss Angel stuff.

If the building wasn't shaped like a pyramid, it might not have anything Egyptian about it at all.

@Meg said in Forum Factions:

@Ghost do you want another member?

You mean another member of my faction or...???

Uhm. Safe answer.

Please add yourself to my faction so that our non-existent, temporary love is documented.

Or give me a second penis.

@Crow lol no I'm not. @Meg loves me every fifth thread for 1-2 pages until she takes her love away.

@Meg said in Forum Factions:

Ghost

Notable members:

• @Ghost
• @surreality sometimes

What? Noooooo I was joking.

I don't have a faction. I'm a mercenary that temporarily joins others to gangpile onto concepts and/or privately message people with supportive messages when I don't want to personally involve myself.

Same as everyone else.

My gang...

@shangexile said in RL Anger:

@shangexile If someone can tell me how to delete my account, I will. Can't seem to find the functionality.

• Change your password to random key-presses that you aren't paying attention to (ie. I3i38fbfjqoqoo3jebfhcui)
• then logout
• then delete the bookmark
• then lose the fucks you give.

@Meg
