You make narcissism look like a positive character trait after witnessing your over the top, pathetic attention whoring.
You walked away from this thread at least once, yet you can’t seem to stop yourself from coming back over and over and relentlessly over with your “tee hee he drunk texted me” updates, your “I’m just a broken soul” justifications of your bad behavior, and your absolute refusal to have enough self awareness to realize that not giving a shit about your self absorbed soap opera is not only registering pretty high on a LOT of people’s Things to Do lists, but you are quickly losing a ton of respect.
We get it - you’re fucking irresistible - your husband understands and is not only cool with you being a deceitful piece of shit, but wants to do you even more, and the other guy is pining for you.
Nobody fucking cares anymore. And your insistence at bringing up this idiotic thread not only in other threads where you point out how other people are bigger trainwrecks, but you bumping your own damn thread with idiotic quotations would be a wake up call to someone who thought about something other than themselves.
maybe she’s drawn to trainwrecks, literal and figurative.
and she’s buds with Troppus. You guys remember Troppus? They have some dysfunction in common which people who know more about psychology than me may be able to name and explain.
I respectfully oppose your position on this matter.
It’s like sketch comedy unrolling right before our eyes. If I were an SNL writer, I’d see about creating a recurring character based on her. Bored delusional Mormon housefrau/attention whore jerking off with her vibrating cellphone while the milquetoast husband insists it’s just fine that shes sexting with some other guy. Cut to milquetoast husband out in the shed with a voice-over of his internal dialogue as he fondles a rifle and/or himself.
I can’t support this pitting. The fall shows don’t start up for a least a few more weeks - I was sort of hoping to ride that thread out at least until then.
I endorse the sentiment, but I think the Pitting will be counterproductive in that she doesn’t distinguish between good and bad attention just as long as it’s about her.
Nothing to be sorry for, April. Your life is what it is and if you want to talk about it, well, that’s what the board is for. And, conversely, in posting you invite comment from others, good or bad. Don’t apologize for being who you are though. Nobody has the moral high ground here, we’re all just splashing in the mire together.
I’m probably going to get smacked down for this but I feel like it’s threads like this that are slowly making this board a sterile, lifeless place. Every time people come in and talk about themselves - good, bad or otherwise - we severely punish them for talking.
If you look back at my posting history, I used to post a lot more, and say a lot more, and start more threads. But people kept coming in with extremely harsh criticisms, and they just rip you apart. Sure, it’s just a message board - which is exactly it. After a while you shrug and go, ok, fine, I won’t post it. And then you lose another fun poster.
I feel like we have driven away a lot of fun posters like this. I post less and less myself, and a lot of my friends from the old days have gone to places more fun. If you’re going to give me the line about “fighting ignorance”, well you guys are winning, sort of. Already this board is mostly about arguing about elections and desperately trying to prove you’re right.
My point? Maybe April R is annoying people but she’s not breaking any rules. She’s talking about real stuff that is happening in her real life. Sure, chastise her, yell at her, but telling her to stop entirely? What’s going to happen is she will eventually stop…and we’ll lose yet another poster.
Sorry isn’t good enough around here anymore, Construct has set the bar much higher now. Please read through his post here and try to follow that format.
I actually agree with this. People like AprilR bring character to the board. And if I can’t walk away from my daily time spent at the SDMB with a general sense of smug superiority, then you all have failed me.
I’ve taken a few snarly shots at April R in that thread. But I’ve also tried to give some constructive advice.
I can’t say I’m onboard with this pitting. It truly seems like one of those threads where if it drives you nuts, then don’t read it. I haven’t really seen/noticed April R being a loon in general, pretty much just on that one thread.
