Miss Bungle, you've won your own thread!

[RTFirefly]

In DAVEW0071's thread, You've shafted my daughter one time too many! (http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=167809&perpage=50&pagenumber=1), he describes how: My soon-to-be 18-year-old daughter, Sakura, has been involved in the dramas and musicals in school since fifth grade. She's always dreamed of having a substantial part. Alas, this hasn't happened, and she's been disappointed, but it hasn't dimmed her enthusiasm or her willingness to be involved any way she can.

In last year's drama, she was even willing to be production manager and not appear onstage at all. She made it a positive experience, and being involved at all was better than being in the audience, from her point of view.

This year's drama saw her getting a brief, four-line part in Arthur Miller's The Crucible, and once again, she is acting as production manager. The show is scheduled to open Friday, March 7.

Until two days ago, when the girl cast in the main role of Elizabeth mouthed off to the director one time too many. She was given an ultimatum by the director: apologize, or you're not playing Elizabeth. The girl didn't back down, and she was out the door.

Having no one to play Elizabeth, the director asked Sakura to get up in the part in two days, acting the part with the script in her hand, if need be. She did her best to rise to the occasion, spent hours at a necessarily extended rehearsal on Wednesday night, and basically looked forward to surviving through the weekend on adrenaline alone.

Until this morning, when the girl originally cast apologized and was given her part back. Miss Bungle's initial reaction is somewhat subdued: She is learning a valuable lesson in life. You don't always get what you want.Of course, this indicated somewhat dubious reading skills, because Dave made it clear in the first paragraph of the OP: "She's always dreamed of having a substantial part. Alas, this hasn't happened, and she's been disappointed, but it hasn't dimmed her enthusiasm or her willingness to be involved any way she can." IOW, she hasn't always gotten what she wanted, but when life has handed her lemons, she's done her best to make some lemonade.

Miss Bungle couldn't just leave it at that, however: in her second post, she reiterates her first post, and digs a bit further: It's a good freakin lesson for a kid to learn ... that life ain't fair. You don't always get what ya want. You won't always have your parents there to fight your battles.

this is all a blessing really.

And for those who think it's just horrible... I once heard about a child getting cancer.1) Once again, Bungle, the lesson that you don't always get what you want has already been learned.

2) If there's any indication in the thread that Dave has made a habit of fighting his daughter's battles for her, it's missed my scrutiny. In fact, I came away with the opposite impression: that, despite previous disappointments, this was the first time in his daughter's theatrical experience that Dave figured the situation called for a meeting with the principal.

3) "this is all a blessing really"? WTF is this all about?? Sure, it's not the worst thing that ever happened, but no, it's not a blessing.

Or maybe you have a nonstandard definition of 'blessing'. In which case, mind if I come over and 'bless' you with cowshit? :rolleyes:

4) You're right, we should never bitch about anything that is less than life-threatening. So when I dump that truckload of cow patties on your front step, I'm hoping that I can count on you to live up to your Pollyanna-ish expectations for Sakura and Dave.

After a couple more minor posts of hers that didn't add anything specific (but maintained the tone), Dave responded, "MissBungle, you are cordially invited to bite me." Pretty restrained, I thought.

Bungle responded: My my... It's funny that I have people riding my hide for every post I make... when this is the kinda crap I'm left to work with.

Sir, was my post untruthful? No.
So why you flipping out, sunshine?

Considering your response to my post.... and considering monkey see, moneky do..... it scares the shit outta me that you are raising a child. There is no other way to put it.

May I suggest that you guide your child into seeing this as a blessing. A life lesson; to become more assertive... and/or a sign that perhaps her calling is NOT the stage life. Perhaps this will leave her more time to try new hobbies and find different passions.

THere is no loss here... unless you let it be one.1) There's a reason people react with dislike to your posts, Bungle. It doesn't seem that you care for people. If you can figure out an excuse to bring someone down, it seems you find it.

If you think it's just us, my recommendation would be that you try another board. Really. If you don't like the people here, and you feel they don't like you, why are you hanging around?

2) Your post was untruthful, in the sense that it made false implications. It suggested that it was about time Sakura found out life wouldn't always go her way, because Daddy had kept that from happening up until now.

What a bunch of horseshit.

3) "Considering your response to my post....it scares the shit outta me that you are raising a child. There is no other way to put it." What, for one rather restrained response to your four bullshit, nastily insinuating posts?

It would scare me if you ever were given any minute power over people's lives, let alone children's lives.

4) "a sign that perhaps her calling is NOT the stage life." Dave made it clear in his second post in the thread that Sakura's not considering such a career.

The thread goes on, and Bungle has more nastiness to add, but I need to move on here.

Bungle, I suggest you:
a) quit looking for excuses to be nasty to people; and
b) learn to read.
Thank you.

[Polycarp]

I hate pile on the bandwagon me-too posts, but...

Well done, RT!

Posting something here is inviting unsolicited advice, to be sure, but, Miss Bungle, is it too much to ask that the advice be directed at the situation that was actually described?

Yeah, once or twice I've had to tell somebody wallowing in self-pity that the situation is not really that bad, and you don't always get what you want (even if you're part of the Rolling Stones).

But the point here is that an expectation was given and then withdrawn, for reasons having nothing to do with the behavior of the person thus disappointed. Will it be the end of the world if Sakura doesn't get to play Elizabeth? Absolutely not. But was she treated fairly? Not on your tintype -- given what DaveW described the situation as. I will allow that under the circumstances, it could be represented as Miss Mouthoff was promised the part back if she apologized, given what RT quoted DaveW as having reported the director as saying. I think this was a major mistake on his part, and an injustice to a child who has been asked to do a quick study for a major role, put forth major effort to do it, and then had it taken away from her.

I'm sure others will point out the number of other occasions when you've come off with some platitude instead of helpful advice and encouragement, or even a good swift kick in the pants where it seems advisable. I've noticed them, but haven't been moved to comment.

Myself, I think you owe DaveW and Sakura an apology.

No Fair! I thought that you had to wait six weeks before you could win again to give others a chance. Why does she get to win twice?

[Mr. Hand]

I disagree. Miss Bungle may be curt and rude, but we can't all be MandaJo, now can we? Sometimes snarkiness is appropriate. Specifically in the DaveW thread, Miss Bungle made a point that otherwise wasn't being considered. That point was -- even if expressively dismissively and derisively -- how could DaveW characterize the director's gaffe as a learning experience for his daughter? Realistically speaking, it's impossible for the director to remedy his thoughtlessness, and so DaveW's daughter has to learn either to be willing to go to the mattresses or to take it on the chin. And if she learns so now, while still in high school, so much the better.

But all this is irrelevant. I just don't like to see these pile-ons just because someone's online persona is a bit rude. MandJo, FairyChatMom, and the like have the "good/kind advice" role covered, and lieu, SPOOFE, and their ilk have the TMI angle covered... so there's got to be room for the rest of us. Miss Bungle hasn't been a one-trick pony or a troll; you could legitimately see where's she's coming from when she says the things she says. Do you really want to see her banned?

I don't know. Maybe I'm just full of crap. I still feel guilty about the whole The Hamburglar thing.

[Aslan of Narnia]

MissBlungle already has her own thread, mainly having to do with the same thread but also her inability to not to be insulting and mean outside the pit.

[Hamadryad]

RT, you know I think you're great, but as has been stated, she's already been pitted.

As I stated in Dave's thread, she didn't bare her teeth (in that thread) until she was invited to bite.

She's being abrasive, yeah, but y'all are giving her less chances than you've given a lot of other folks, and for less cause. I'd probably be even bitcher than she's being - albeit FAR more eloquently - if people had crawled that far up my ass with that little actual cause.

Fuck. Chill.

[porcupine]

Ya know, I'm not particularly a big fan of Miss Bungle, but I have to agree with Hama - I didn't realize we were all required to be nice-nice and make friends with everyone here.

[glarGH]

So, wait, I've been doing all this mollycoddling and cozying up to you bastards for nothing!!?!?

FUCK! SHIT! ASS!

YOU CAN ALL SUCK IT!

::feels better already.::

[samarm]

porcupine: I don't think anyone's saying that we all have to be nice-nice to everyone all the time, but Miss Bungle consistently posts nasty comments in threads. I could cite you probably 20 posts of her's that are unnecessarily sarcastic or nasty.

[Exgineer]

I can't help but feel a bit resposible for the OP.

In the thread he referenced, I acted like a jerk.

My first post was nasty and inconsiderate, the second was an apology for the first, the third was utterly nonsensical, and the fourth was an apology for the third.

I can't escape the feeling that I may have opened a door in that thread that would have been better left closed.

I've been posting here for a year, and if I can't follow the Cardinal Rule, I don't feel comfortable chastising someone else for not following it.

[Persephone]

Exgineer, you weren't a jerk, and Dave has stated so repeatedly. Don't sweat it.

It appears to me that MissBungle's defenders are ignoring the offensiveness of her crack about cancer, but I have expressed my opinions on that point in detail in the other thread already.

there there.... get it ALL out.

yes. it's a blessing. in my humble opinion it's a blessing. i choose to learn from everything in life, instead of bitching about it on a forum board.

even the "bad" things in life, I can appreciate because I enjoy being challenged. "bad things" are humbling and grounding and help one put their life in perspective.


It's just my belief. You going to bitch at me for that too? I wouldn't put it past y'all.

So let's have at 'er.... can I get an 'amen'? how about an 'invitation to die bitch'? maybe a 'bite me'?

I would have to say I agree, and I really can't see the problem here. Is she not entitled to state her opinion? Are we adults here?
Does a stranger's opinion mean that much to you?

It didn't really seem to me like she went out of her way to offend anyone, and I really don't see her as being the negative creep you all are making her out to be. It seems to me as though she was saying " Hey, it could be worse, so don't let this minor shit interfere with your happiness."

Sure, what happened to Sakura sucks, but it's done and over with.......Now move on to the things that make you happy.

No, you don't make me feel important. However I felt I needed to explain the fucking rules of that forum to you, because it's been evidenced before that you are rude and mean outside the pit, which is not acceptable behaviour and stated in the rules as not allowed. I suggest you review the rules. You're breaking the main rule: Don't be a jerk. And that's pretty much what you have been in the past. This kind of behaviour will get you kicked off this message board. Fair warning, because I think people should be able to enjoy the SDMB not abuse the privilege of it.

You are wondering how you are doing here.
You are concerned you are not fitting in.
You see I have been bashed repeatedly so you jump on the bandwagon.
Surely siding yourself with everyone else will make everyone else like you.
If this is what you want... then I am happy for you. I am more than happy to be the means in which you fit in better here. But, let me suggest you get a hobby or find something more important to make your life feel meaningful, other than following my posts around and nitpicking.

I'll bet you're healthy, then.

I hate it when people who have no idea what they're talking about play the "sick child" card. Why? Because THAT WAS ME, and I don't think people who haven't lived through it have any right to use other people's suffering as a tool to make other people feel bad.

I didn't pop up in DAVEW0071's thread to say, "You think your kid's got it bad? When I was her age, I found out I had a brain tumor! Bet her problems seem silly now, don't they?" I didn't do it because I am capable of feeling sympathy for other human beings (even if their problems aren't the worst possible problems in the whole wide world), and I have no desire to make people feel bad about their own legitimate concerns by reminding them that I've had it bad too. Such behavior would be shallow and selfish. It's even more repellant when it's coming from someone with no claim on the pain that they're reminding others of. I am quite certain that MissBungle has no such claim, because no one who ever was or who ever cared about a real chronically ill child would trivialize the experience by using it to hurt other people in such a petty way.

Go, Bruins! Go!

[Stephi]

Is MissBungle rude or just blunt?

At this point, I think she could go either way. I have seen a couple threads where she did appear to give good advice and seemed sympathetic, but I've seen a lot more where she's rude and abrasive.

I predict, she'll either take the advice people are trying to give her, and will cool it a bit; or she'll react badly to the pit threads, and become even more obnoxious, which will eventually lead to a banning. :(

The choice is hers, really.

[Velma]

You know, it's fine for anyone to come here and be mean and snarky, or even just sarcastic. You can say whatever you want (within the rules) and tell people what you think of them. That's fine. But then don't be surprised when people do the same to you, that's all. If you dish it out, take it. What is irritating to me is not so much that she's insulting, it's that she throws an insult out, then acts all surprised that anyone would take it that way.

I guess I'm saying, why bother to defend her actions? She is obviously capable of telling people what she thinks, so she should be capable of hearing it from other people too. If it is ok for her to tell DAVEWOO71 she is scared that he is a parent, then it is ok for him to tell her she is a bitch. If you come here and give kind and helpful advice, expect the same. If you make sarcastic and potentially offensive comments, expect the same.

There is NO way in which some posters could honestly be as bothered with me as they act. I'm quite certain it's their offline troubles that they drag in with them. At least I hope so. Seriously, who in hell would seriously get so miffed by poster on a website to invite their death. Certainly not someone with a healthy.... oh never yee mind.

Ah, I dunno. I kinda like MissBungle, (cool screen name, by the way). Sure, her posts are Howard Sternish at times, but wouldn't call her a troll.

Just me though, what do I know.

I don't see people asking you to change your whole personality. I don't see people here as hyper-sensitive or immature, I think they expect to be treated with respect, and so they should.

If you're doing things that you expect to get banned for, then I can't help you there. :)

A perspective you do not have. I do, and from that perspective I can see that DAVEWOO71 was right to be concerned about the way his daughter was being treated and you were wrong to suggest that he is a bad father because of it.


You know nothing of my life. Don't be so certain about anything.

I know all I need to know from the fact that you get your jollies playing the pest on Internet message boards.

[DAVEW0071]

I will say here that I overreacted in my other thread, when I invited MissBungle to bite me and die, and then call her a bitch. Those who know me know that I am not like that.

I regret that this instance occurred, but I really have no desire to apologize for it. If a comment like "monkey see, monkey do" can be misconstrued into an insult toward my daughter, then "bite me and die" can be misconstrued into an actual wish that someone achieve room temperature. If you apply such a rule to what you say, I claim the same right. Sauce for the goose, don't you know.

So, that being said, I resolve to ignore MissBungle completely, since I am convinced she is an attention whore who would rather stir things up and get sniped at rather than "make friends." I don't understand that kind of mentality, myself, but if that's how she operates, fine. But I refuse to participate any longer.

If she cares to see this as a victory for herself, fine. If she cares to flame me, or (more likely) feign wide-eyed innocence, or post a condescending "what's eatin' you, sugar-pie?" response, fine. I will not rise to her bait.

Because I just don't care about her anymore.

RTFirefly, you're a good man, my friend.

Hamadryad, I thought she was out of line, you didn't. We can agree to disagree. At least I can be confident that you won't hold it against me, and I'm sure there will be many times in the future that you'll say something that resonates deep within me, and I offer up a "hell, yeah!" for you.

RT, you know I think you're great, but as has been stated, she's already been pitted. After scanning the first page of the Pit, I searched the Pit for "Bungle" over the past month, and came up empty.

Sorry if I'm being redundant; I did my best to avoid it, and somehow screwed up anyway. (Thanks, In Conceivable, for providing the link.)
As I stated in Dave's thread, she didn't bare her teeth (in that thread) until she was invited to bite.We'll have to disagree on that; in my OP, I've quoted mostly her posts before Dave invited her to 'bite me', and expressed my opinion about them.

MissB, I'm not exactly concerned with whether I fit in. And I don't want you banned. But I want you to read before you provide 'perspective'.

Also, do you know how, IRL, people tend to be more cautious and polite at first when mixing in with an unfamiliar group of people while they figure out what the ground rules are and where the bodies are buried? That's probably not a bad idea here, either.

This is especially true in your case because your words come across as quite disparaging and critical, even in situations where you say you didn't mean it that way. (I don't know if I believe it, but I guess time will tell.)

[MrMyth]

This is one of the times that I hate the curtain of the internet. Quite frankly, MissBungle, normal people don't act the way you do upon meeting other people. Normal people don't walk into a room expecting to get kicked out for being an ass. Bored little bitches do that kind of thing. Annoying, condescending, faux-Southern-wisdom fucksticks do that sort of thing.


People who have no life do that sort of thing.


Maybe you should ask yourself would you be this way at the dinner table to people you've just met. Ask yourself how they'd react. Marvel with wonder at the fact that no one here can get to you, which is probably what has removed your asshole inhibitor switches. Go ahead, we'll wait for you to leave. But you won't.

You can't.

As an effort to "put things in perspective," that particular remark fell pretty short. I respect Hama's prerogative not to be offended, but I found it not only offensive, but pretty lame as an argument for your attitude. I find your criterion for what "worked" baffling. I also wondered why, if you're so anxious to contemplate perspective, you didn't respond to my point that, unlike cancer, an avoidable and repetitive grievance is basis for legitimate complaint. Your answer to Sakura (among others) made it clear you weren't even reading the thread, so I didn't bother to pursue. You appear to be giving this thread more serious attention, but then, the subject is clearly more fascinating than the passing trials of some random, anonymous teen.

:rolleyes:

The problem is that it was hyperbole. MissBungle isn't genuinely concerned about the suffering of sick children, all she wanted to do was make DAVEW0071 feel bad. And that was wrong, because DAVEW0071 had every right to be upset about the way his daughter was treated. No one should be made to feel bad for showing proper parental concern. MissBungle would have been out of line even without dragging sick children into it, but the fact that she did pushed it into the realm of the really cheap shot.

[kevja]

Her advice to the mother that walked in on her teenage son when he was in the bathroom, and didn't want him to grow up was very positive.

But several people probably didn't want to see it that way, because like a lot of her posts, she advocates taking an seemingly negitive situation and turning into a positive. Kind of a when life gives you lemons thing.

If there are 40 posts that argree with the OP, MissB sometimes offers a different point of view, that is often blunt, but never a personal attack. Even with that poster who was seeking validation.

hey thanks.

I find it really interesting... I registered here 2 months ago with a different screen name. I had over 40 posts and not one complaint. (I forgot my code word so I just figured I would re register with a new handle)
I think it shows that people are seeing what they want to see. THey disagreed with me one or two times and now they read my posts with a more critical eye.

eh...vuteva

Uh oh. Sometimes it really is better to keep your mouth shut.

Miss Bungle... you had your own thread.

You've just lost your user privileges!

I'm sorry. You go away with nothing.

[With apologies for pre-empting any administrative decision, but the chance to use the WWTBAM reference given the thread title and MB's revelation was way too good to pass up.]

Ah, don't feel too bad. I've been here almost three years and I STILL have never been Pitted. :( That's because we know that you'd just collapse into a blubbering mass of self-loathing and self-doubt. Frankly, you don't have the backbone, as any scant reading of your feeble, floundering attempts to respond to even the mildest criticism reveals. Your tedious, overblown whining about the most trivial of life's isses reveal that you can't even cope with the norm, so out of kindness we restrain from responding with the obvious contempt that you so richly deserve.




hey - just kidding. You're all good really. But beware what you wish for, lassie.

MissBungle, if you don't want to be banned, you need to email an admin ASAP and explain the situation. Otherwise you run the risk of having both names banned as sock puppets.

[MissBungle]

Nooooo... it isn't worth that much to me.

Just thought I'd share.

It's been swell y'all.

I hope you all learned something from it.

[hyperjes]

Rude unto the very end. Ugh. :rolleyes:

[kabbes]

I don't know about you, but I learned nothing from it at all.

[hyperjes]

Nope. Not a thing. Was there something there to learn? :confused:

Oh, wait. Lesson: Don't create sock puppets. :wally

[Hamadryad]

Oops. Y'all were right, I was wrong. Apparently, she's not merely abrasive but is, indeed, an irredeemable jerk-off.

Not sorry I tried, just sorry she apparently wasn't worth the trouble. Oh, well.

Don't let the door hit your ass on your way out.

[DAVEW0071]

Hama, you are a totally class act.

I'll never be afraid to agree to disagree with you. I'm not sorry you tried, either. You did what you believed to be right until you were shown to be wrong, and then you admitted your error.

You've shown what you're made of, and it's lovely. You're one of the assets of hanging around this joint.

[MrMyth]

lordy sakes, sugar, I --

Oh hell. There's enough fake Southern waitress in this thread already.

And I told you guys she couldn't leave. Even created a sock to stay longer.

[Diane]

I hope you all learned something from it.

Oh I have! I have!

I learned that no matter how bad the world gets, there is always tomorrow. Even the darkest hearts have the ability to love. For every loss there is a gain and for every gain there is a loss. The meek will one day inherit the earth and the lions will sleep with the lambs if we just keep the faith. Regardless of the brutal winter, spring brings new life and hope into this cold and bitter world. I’ve learned to always sniff the milk jug before I sneak a gulp. If you hear the cat hacking in the night, turn on the light before you walk to the bathroom. Look both ways before crossing. Not all toilet papers feels the same nor do they absorb the same.

How can I ever thank you MissBungle?

[Lynn Bodoni]

Laundry day...gotta take care of socks. Hmmmm, there's another one...

Show's over people, I'm closing this thread.
