HELLO?! Am I on everyone's ignore list?

Rilchiam · #1 01-10-2005, 08:09 AM

I asked a simple fucking question. A simple yes, no or I don't know would suffice.

Zabali_Clawbane · #2 01-10-2005, 08:15 AM

Ok...

Rilchiam · #3 01-10-2005, 08:16 AM

Thank you.

BoBettie · #4 01-10-2005, 08:29 AM

So now we're supposed to answer "I don't know" to every question we don't know? Jesus wept, get a grip.

If no one answers, either no one saw it, no one knows, or no one cares. Deal. This isn't your personal freaking ask Jeeves, you know.

Epimetheus · #5 01-10-2005, 08:33 AM

Pay attention to me!!! Look what I can do!!

El_Kabong · #6 01-10-2005, 08:36 AM

How the fuck should I know if someone owns the rights to 'Halvsie'? Find a fucking copyright lawyer, ya cheap bastid.

There, I answered. Hope you feel better.

Harborwolf · #7 01-10-2005, 08:37 AM

Jesus Fucking Christ. Do your own goddamned research.

Caricci · #9 01-10-2005, 08:39 AM

Meanwhile, what Halvsie did you mean? That bullshit dog from here on the boards or what?

World Eater · #10 01-10-2005, 08:48 AM

Christ, did halvsie die and crawl up you asses? What's with you people today?

Did you ever stop to consider that of the people who read your question, no one fucking knew?

Cluttering up a thread with "I don't know"s doesn't exactly scream "fighting ignorance", you know.

You are apparently not aware of this but this is a good time to learn--the world does not revolve around you and your fucking issues.

Or, you very well could be on everyone's "ignore" list. It's possible.

Either way, get over it.

mhendo · #12 01-10-2005, 09:15 AM

Now will someone answer my question:

Who or what the fuck is Halvsie?

And, no, i'm not going to Google for it. So there!

Check her thread... I did a search for her, and offered my opinion.

Caricci · #14 01-10-2005, 09:20 AM

It could be this, too:

Zabali_Clawbane · #15 01-10-2005, 09:23 AM

I asked if my link was correct, and she didn't say it wasn't...

iampunha · #16 01-10-2005, 09:24 AM

Some of us don't read Cafe Society every day, or even every other day. I know that I, personally, don't load even half the forums on a daily basis.

hajario · #17 01-10-2005, 09:24 AM

You're not in my List but good lord you post some stupid shit sometimes.

Haj

UrbanChic · #18 01-10-2005, 09:28 AM

This has got to be one of the funniest threads ever. C'mon, be honest. Have none of you never wanted to post the very same thing when your threads sink like a stone?

Done.

Cat Whisperer · #20 01-10-2005, 09:36 AM

A movie about twisters called "Gone with the Wind"? I love it!

As for the OP, I use the same rules here as in real life; I don't talk when I have nothing to say.

Rufus Xavier · #21 01-10-2005, 09:37 AM

I don't know.

fruitbat · #22 01-10-2005, 09:43 AM

If you all will excuse me for a second, I think I will duck into GQ and reply "I don't know" thirty odd times. Y'know once for each thread, just so the OPs don't feel bad. If nothing else it should help the old post count.

Shade · #23 01-10-2005, 09:47 AM

This thread'd be a lot funnier if no-one had replied.

After a while it's pretty hard to hit significant post count numbers. I hit 10K two Augusts ago and I have a long way to go before I hit 20K, a mark at least two dopers have already surpassed.

Bosda Di'Chi of Tricor · #26 01-10-2005, 10:05 AM

Ah, it's so pleasant to see somebody else get it in the neck, in the BBQ, for a change.

Usually, I'm the one who posts something this dumb.

I dimly recall a German phrase for this....

Zabali_Clawbane · #27 01-10-2005, 10:09 AM

You're certainly conveying a snippy, sarcastic,

tone today Bosda... Just MHO, YMMV.

Probably.

However, the difference between being a grown-up and being a whiny, immature, attention-whoring annoyance is knowing better than to actually post it.

Zabali_Clawbane · #29 01-10-2005, 10:16 AM

Ok, I'll bite and post this thought that came to mind. (Yeah, I know it brings to life a catch 22, so be it.) Isn't it true, that it's rude to point out rude behavior? What the heck has gotten into so many today? People being snippy in places other than the pit, and of all things, a poster being lectured on manners...in the pit!

Well, yeah, but the former isn't nearly as funny.

neuroman · #31 01-10-2005, 10:23 AM

When your question sinks like a stone even after being bumped, there are two appropriate responses.
1) Go find one of those MPSIMS threads where everyone kvetches about lousy unsuccessful threads they've started, or
2) Figure out the answer yourself.

Could you please repost and explain exactly WTF you're talking about? I've read this 3 times and it still makes no sense. Try including posters names, quotes, and other helpful hints. Sheesh.

No one is pointing out manners. They are pointing out real life. Pointing it out in a "'Whaa! No one answered my thread! Boo hoo!' Get the hell over it!" sort of way.

Zabali_Clawbane · #34 01-10-2005, 10:32 AM

Zette I posted thoughts on feelings that had been building while reading the SDMB fora today, which were "brought to a head" by evilbeth's post directly before mine. That's all...just wondering if it's the cold weather getting everybody's tempers flaring or what?

Ok, because I was wondering what was going on. It kinda took me aback is all.

vetbridge · #36 01-10-2005, 10:35 AM

What about onequartersie?

jlzania · #37 01-10-2005, 10:47 AM

Even if you were on everyone's ignore list, wouldn't it be against the rules to tell you?

Glory · #38 01-10-2005, 10:57 AM

This is completely ridiculous - what if you had gotten 50-100 responses all confirming that Halvie was currently not in use. If you used it without conducting any of your own research and got sued for copyright infringement - what exactly would your defense be? Members of the SDMB granted permission to use it?

I can't speak for anyone else but stupidity always makes my temper flare. Stupidity combined with arrogance ("How dare people not respond to something I had to say?") really pisses me off.

CanvasShoes · #42 01-10-2005, 11:56 AM

DANG you people are grouchy!!! Sorry Rilchiam, I don't know about anyone else, but I rarely venture outside the pit or imho. I'm easily pleased and amused and both those forums do a great job for me.

I like GD also, but too much of the time it's all political, or religious. So, maybe it's what someone else said, no one saw it, or no one knew and didn't want to just say 'I don't know".

I was thinking of trying that but now that it's been used ...*thinks* Has anyone called Rilch a "goat-felching fuckpuddle" yet? Maybe I could use that?

Eh, then again I don't think I could pull off a "goat-felching fuckpuddle" ... not sure I'd want to either.

I didn't think this thread was so bad, who hasn't experienced the frustration of constantly refreshing a forum or thread in the hopes that someone will have noticed and responded (hopefully positively) to your post. Constanly refreshing only to see no change or a response that completely ignores your question or witty response, leaving you feeling let down and just full of general malaise so that the tears start to well up and you just want to scream and ... uh, I think I've said too much.

Er ...

Rilch, you puddle-felching goat fuck!

Oh, I give up.
*wanders off to refresh the page*

FilmGeek · #44 01-10-2005, 12:16 PM

I think people are grouchy because of the phrasing of the OP.

An MPSIMS thread with "poor me, no one knows the answer" would've gotten a better response than "Fuck you, no one likes me"

Enderw24 · #45 01-10-2005, 12:23 PM

::looking up definition of irony::

ah, here it is:

i·ro·ny, noun
1) The use of words to express something different from and often opposite to their literal meaning.
2) An expression or utterance marked by a deliberate contrast between apparent and intended meaning.
3) A person on a message board who complains about being ignored by posters and then refuses to reenter either of two threads to help clarify questions that responders have.

Hell, yeah. I dunno about you, but I found the OP's sense of entitlement particularly annoying. Considering that answers given on the Dope are provided free of charge, and often by people that put time and effort into crafting a reply, don't you think that:

"I asked a simple fucking question. A simple yes, no or I don't know would suffice."

is a little... I dunno... overbearing? Annoying? Rude, even? Grouchy. Certainly grouchy. That sense of entitlement -- "Wah! It's all about me! Pay attention to me!" -- always rubs me the wrong way.

At least this thread has accomplished one thing -- whatever the OP's next posted question is, I sure as Hell won't bother answering it.
