Great. Now that I’ve got your attention Duck Duck Goose, I thought I just I’d get it off my chest.
You make me crazy, batty, bonkers, goofballs. I’m tired of it. Real tired and I just wanted to vent and maybe help you out a bit.
I’m tired of your gimmick, yes, gimmick of Googling every fucking subject on these boards, regardless of your knowledge of the subject or indeed interest. You say that you ‘have an interest in trivia’ and ‘like looking stuff up’. I propose that your interest is in posting (like many of us) to see yourself post, regardless of the relevance or indeed helpfulness of your Google search. Sometimes we have to accept that there are threads on these boards that we have no part of and vomiting sixteen barely applicable links into the thread isn’t going to get anyone anywhere. A cross search of Duck Duck Goose and Google in the past six months yields 161 threads.
In addition, you are consistently Telling People What They May Or May Not Post and pretentiously assuming that you know the mod’s minds, and recently answering questions directed at Mods presumably in some Mod Apprentice Program wherein your life’s dream of actually running this board exactly to your specifications may be realized. This includes your own personal guide to telling newbies how to be a success on the SDMB, shockingly informing them that they need not have a gimmick to succeed. Here’s a question for you…why do you suppose people call you the Google Queen, Duck Duck? Because you have a large selection of biped stuffed animals that resemble platypus babies? I doubt it. You asked me if I was just trying to be a smartass with my reply to you in that thread, and whether I thought googling every thread title was a gimmick. Here is my answer:
Yes. Yes I do.
But it’s not just newbies that get lessons. Right here we have you admonishing Anahita for telling the TRUTH about her painful experience in pregnancy and labor, because it may SCARE people and thus was counteractive to your particular agenda for that thread.
But really (and I realize this was a while ago), the straw that broke the jarbaby’s back (perhaps because it’s a subject that holds a sore spot in my heart and I’ll admit that I’m sensitive to it) was in this thread with an honest question, no jokes, no frills, no smartassery, by a newbie, whom I can only assume was looking for real answers.
The ONE TIME you could have fucking googled a real, honest and HELPFUL answer in the first three hits, you chose to reply glibly, in what I’ve been informed must be a witty ‘joke’, that in the first month of trying to conceive your chances are fifty/fifty or ‘even’, ‘either she will or she won’t’. In fact that is not true. The chances, as I posted with cites, are 25% and even less depending on your age. And when you were PROVEN wrong by several posters, you didn’t even bother to come back and say you were joking or maybe admit that you should have answered honestly.
Lately I have noticed you have put the rolleyes in heavy rotation, are short tempered, snippy, snarky and, well, to bring out an old third grade insult, bossy.
I am not innocent of anything on these boards, that is for sure, and have been forced by my peers to look at my actions which, I hope has lead to a change in my behavior. Being pitted was a bad time for me, but really, it ended up being something that really helped out with getting a handle on what I’m doing here at the SDMB (since it’s quite obvious to many of us that this ISN’T just a message board, it’s a community, and to some it’s a family and a circle of friends.) Hamadryad brought to light my out of control sex and flirting talk, and made me realize I didn’t have to be that way…BottleBlondeJeanie and a host of others lead to my sabbatical wherein I had to think about how much of my life I was investing in these boards and how little good it was doing me.
Hey, I’ll be honest. It’s very possible I’m the only one on these boards who has a problem with you, it wouldn’t be the first time, that’s for sure. And perhaps it’s a bad time in both of our lives and things are just rubbing me the wrong way. And contrary to what you may believe here, I am not asking for your banning, or telling you to shut up, or asking you to leave or calling you a dicksmack or any of that stuff…I just urge you to look at what you’re doing here, and what you’re looking to get out of it. All I’m saying is, if you want to be known as the Miss Junior Mod 2003, or the Human Search Engine or the School Marm, carry on…but I don’t think that’s what you want at all…is it?
