3. Don't say or imply that someone is on your ignore list.

Pit Rules

interesting rules…

does that include posts like:
“check your spelling” and “shut up”?

i guess rule number 3 doesnt mean people have to read what i have to say…but one can always hope :wink:

anyway…there is something i want to say, if no one is prepared to read it, so be it…but this has got to come out.

here in iceland couple of people are producing a movie about teasing. this group of people (the producers of the film) sought support from various companies, among them were coca-cola iceland and búnaðarbankinn(the acriculture bank, but were denied of support. the búnaðarbankinn even replied with a message. “supporting a campaign versus teasing does not match our policy (something like that)”.

recently a “famous” icelandic actor began a solo fight against teasing…his mission was to build a house where the victims of teasing could get help. his campaign was welcomed and various parties offered their support, including coca-cola iceland and búnaðarbankinn.

makes you wish your name was mr.john, right?

no…it just makes me sick!

bj0rn - thank you for your time…

Has anyone noticed that no one ever sees Bj0rn and Henry B in the same room at the same time?

Coincidence?

Or not.

Anyway, isn’t this like your third thread like this? You suddenly reappear after being gone awhile, much like a case of athlete’s foot, complain that you’re being ignored (Your last one was, IIRC titled something like “Look at me, I’m invisible”) then vanish again, leaving us in merciful, blessed silence.

What’s the point?

Other than the one on the top of your head?

Fenris

it seems to me you only read the forewords…

try reading it to the end next time.

bj0rn - …

no bj0rn, “hate speech” is more “lets kill all niggers” than “shut up.”

I can’t heeeeaaar youuuu.

Read the debate thread here in the Pit, which addresses this (read: I’m not doing your fucking homework for you).

I want my minute back, bitch.

I just know there’s a Ralph Wiggum quote needed here…

What does the first half of the OP’s post have to do with the second half?

Nurse Ratched, I want MY cigarettes!

Hmm. The first bit is an irrelevant digression about Pit rules, but after that, it seems to make some kind of sense… at least, I can vaguely see the point.

So… either bj0rn’s improving, or I shouldn’t have had that second bottle of whisky for breakfast.

Ha!

Great minds…

My very first thought when I read the OP was “My cat’s breath smells like cat food.” :smiley:

Fenris

ah, that kind of hate speech…thanks!

predudice behaviour should of course always be avoided. on the other hand, “circumstances” that promote predudice behavior should also be avoided…

peoples steriotypical processor cant handle new circumstances without preperation…so lets go greek style and question our every thought.

bj0rn - …

unless you are a famous icelandic actor you are on supporting companies ignore list…

bj0rn - …

Did you miss the massive discussion thread about these rules or were you hoping to get made fun of?

:rolleyes:

Its “sticky” so its at the top. If you are having trouble with that, click here:

sigh…elf6c

i do expect people to read the messege they are replying to…

yes, the topic suggest that this is a “pit rule” discussion…but it isnt…sorry for being vague on the subject.

which is why i said a few words about “people reading what i have to say” at the top of the OP…just in case you didnt want to read what i had to say and wouldnt reply…

but i guess that didnt work, now did it?

all i can say is: i am sorry you didnt read what i had to say.

Ok. Apparently the mystery of your bizarre reappearance threads and the mysterious ‘I’m being ignored’ first part is contained in a hidden clue in the second part of the cryptic message. Leave us examine it.

Right. There’s a movie about teasing and some companies didn’t want to support the movie. Sadly you neglect to tell us if the movie was for or against teasing. If it was in favor of schoolchildren being taunted 'till they cried, I see why Coca-Cola wouldn’t support it. But even if it WAS against teasing, why should a corporation support some guys who say “Dððd! Let’s make a mðvie!” They’re certainly not obligated to do so. And for all the information you provided, the “people” who are making the teasing movie are just a bunch of drunken frat-boys.

Ok, so some “famous” Icelandic actor (insert obvious “Contradiction in terms” joke here :wink: ) wanted to build a halfway house so that vicitims of teasing could recover. He apparently had a specific goal in mind and he wasn’t (since he’s “famous”) some nobody who said “Let’s put ðn a shðw, dððd!” Thus, he got support from those selfsame groups who ignored the nobodies.

Makes sense. But you seem to be upset about it. And then you digress into gibberish.

…no…I’ve never wished my name was mr.john. And even if I did, what would that have to do with any of the above? Unless mr.john is the name of the “famous” actor. In which case this next sentence:

**

…is just bizarre. You’re against a halfway house for victims of teasing? Are you also against battered women’s shelters? Burn recovery units? What kind of a depraved monster ARE you?

In any event, what I find totally lacking is any clue in all this teasing discussion to anything connected to the first part of your thread. What does teasing have to do with you being ignored? They seem to be rather the opposite, really.

uhmm…yes. i apologize…i made an assumption when i shouldnt have.

the movie was against teasing.

other details i neglected to mention…thank you for asking.
this “famous” icelandic actor and other “famous” icelandic figures as well as regular joes, all victims of teasing, were interviewed in this documentary (yes, i should have said that in the beginning).

so, even though the produces of the documentary were “nobodies” their work was VERY good.

there are more details and wierd circumstances in this case, but i tried to explain the general picture in the OP.

being a famous spokesman does not guarantee the validity of your speech.

anyway, thanks for you questions and comments fenris…much valued.

Nurse Ratched, I still want MY cigarettes!

Somedays I come here and just have no fucking clue what’s going on.

This is one of those days.
