I have given up the original purpose of this thread, which was to complain about people being, IMHO, rude.
This thread is now designed for all and sundry take pot-shots at me. I’ve even provided you with fodder. So please, go ahead. All ignorant, obnoxious comments, that would get you slapped IRL welcome.
I’m snitty, sorry. But with all that vehemence you appeared to be pretty committed to your OP. The abrupt and apparently unprovoked turnaround was confusing and casts a suspiciously narcissistic light on your original motive.
WooHoo!!! Ignorant and obnoxious comments are my Forte. I finally found a thread I can be at home in.
But, color me confused by the whole thing too. SofaKings bizarre smiley fetish and Wonderland obsession had me checking my computer monitor. Then, the 180 degree turn by the OP had my head whipping around. This thread hurts my brain, but I do have the same questions hannahw appears to have, whether that dudelike or not.
Narcissistic - very nice. That’s a pot-shot for sure, but I’m sure if you put your mind to it, you can do better.
Incidentally, if you were to read the thread a tad more thoroughly, you would notice that SkyKing accused me of being a liar. (A 650lb man, I believe). Kru-baby, the darling, decided that my problem was that I never smile - without having seen me, I might add. Quite a few people decided to offer helpful suggestions as to how to better accept a compliment, although no one has been generous enough to explain how “You look anorexic” is a compliment, yet.
It finally became clear to me - it’s not fair that I should have my privacy and feelings respected. I should tolerate - nay ENCOURAGE unsolicited comments about my appearance from complete strangers. So I posted my picture. Now everyone knows just what I look like, so please, have at her. Comment away. You got something to say - please be my guest.
Hey Dude, are you Jeff (people on ‘ludes shouldn’t drive) Spicoli??
Well, then, how the hell’s it goin’?? It’s me…Brad (I shall serve no fries before it’s time) Hamilton!! Long time no see!! How’s it goin’ Dude??
Use really small words maybe. Venn diagrams perhaps. Maybe visual aids would help. But I still don’t follow how somebody who is so vehemently pissed about comments on her looks posts pictures of herself.
Don’t just color me confused. Wallpaper, paint, and 12 layers of shellac me confused.
Like I said, I give up. I can’t win - I say I don’t want comments and I’m accused of being bitchy, not being able to accept a complement, lying to myself, lying to others, having ulterior motives and having some sort of mental deficiency.
Like I said in a previous post - had I complained that I was larger and people made comments about my appearance, aside from the odd idiot making a “fat people are gross” comment, the responses would have been positive. Apparently, small people are more aptly suited to handle ignorant comments than large people.
So, fine - if I’m not entitled to be offended by obnoxious comments, and I should, in fact, take such comments as complements, then I guess I will. Say the most ignorant thing you can and I’ll try to be flattered by it, as has been suggested would be proper.
Welcome to the Club!! Next meeting is tomorrow at 7ish! Don’t forget to bring your notes! Final Exams on this thread will be on the 3rd of next month, so if you have any questions pertaining to the meaning of Carrol’s: “Alice-in-Wonderland: Little Girl Gone Bad”, be sure to have them ready tomorrow!!
But WHY?
You’re CRAZY!
Just learn to accept a compliment!
You’re just saying that to brag!
Maybe if you smiled once and a while you wouldn’t look so bitchy!
You’ve got low self-esteem if you let obnoxious comments get to you!
I wish people would comment on MY appearance.
You should LIKE IT when complete strangers offer there unsolicited comments about your appearance!
Etc, etc, etc
This is the weirdest friggin’ thread I’ve ever seen.
alice, posting your pictures was sort of a strange thing to do, given the tone of the thread. I don’t think it means you’re a narcissist, necessarily, but it’s still a little odd, given the context. And playing the martyr (I give up! The world wins!) is sort of lame. Not that you care what I think, but it’s a message board, so I’m typing my opinions in anyway.
My take: some of the examples you’ve posted are pretty obnoxious, but for the most part, having someone say positive things to you about how you look is pretty mild, in terms of bad things that can happen a person. Which in my opinion is why you haven’t gotten the same support you would have if you were overweight and someone commented on how fat your ass was.
SkyKing, you’ve sure posted a lot of crazy messages!! With a lot of exclamation points!! It makes you look like a psycho!! But at least you’re consistent!! Because most of the things you’ve typed are pretty damn random too!! So good job!! I guess!!
Giraffe, me thinks you’ve gone and stuck your neck too far out into the woods this time! Next time, remember this old saying before venturing out too far…'tis better to be quiet and be thought a fool, then to speak out and remove all doubt!
It’s obvious you’re not too well read in the classics, such as Lewis’ “Alice in Wonderland”! If you were, then you surely would have understood a lot of what I had posted!
As far as my using multiple exclamation marks to punctuate my points, I’m seriously thinking of starting a new thread with the question: “Why do some people feel compelled to correct another’s grammar?”!!!
SkyKing, did you join the SMDB just to post to this thread? Are you one of the people who lobs comments at alice_in_wonderland in real life, and felt you had to defend yourself?
I ask because you’re fucking nuts, and peop!e !ike you don’t genera!!y !ast very !ong.
