You want to get banned? Start a third thread called “Do you think I’m an attention whore?”
Ah, drama queen to the end! Nobody cares enough about you to ban you. Bet you get a great view from that cross, huh?
FTR, given some of the Attention Whoring masterpieces this board has seen, your original post and this one combined pale in comparison. Your first post, Blanche, had the misfortune of naming one of the boards that shall not be named, and an honest quesiton. It was closed with customary Mod snarkiness, and like many other posters before you, you came to the pit to question the snarkiness.
IMNSHO, you did nothing out of line, wrong, or even worthy of being deemed “attention-whoring”, and the SDMB kittens here are just sharpening their claws. Swat them down with a few accusations of goat felching, and they won’t flash those claws as quickly in the future.
Your expenses are already pretty low, living in your parents’ basement. How many Whoppers a day are you skipping to “save up” the $15?
Apparently the OP is used to depending on the kindness of strangers…
There’s a difference between talking about yourself (heck, I’ve got a thread going right now about me!) in the context of asking others about their similar experiences or opinions on a given topic, and asking their opinions about and experiences with YOU.
It can be a fine line, but it’s a line nonetheless. In one, everyone in the thread benefits by seeing info applicable to their own lives. In the other, only the OP benefits because the info is only applicable to themselves.
“Attention whore” doesn’t seem that inflammatory to me, but whatever.
Don’t be a fool. Internet addicts who live in their parents’s basements never skip Whoppers.
- I talked about OPs, not posts.
- Even if I were talking about posts, what you say isn’t true. It isn’t even true if we restrict it to MPSIMS. My “definition” is posts that specifically solicit opinions about what others think about them, not about situations they are in or opinions that they have.
Of course not, my dear. You’re an attention courtesan.
Hmm. You’re either incredibly ignorant of common internet phrases, or a troll. I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume ignorance.
Attention Whore is a common term for someone who is seen to be unreasonably drawing attention to themselves on a regular basis. Use of this term long predates the existence of the SDMB and, as I say, is quite common all over the internet. It may or may not necessarily apply to you, but if it does, it ain’t nothin’ to get all that worked up about.
Now that you know what it means …
Sure, there’s a lot of “attention whoring” that goes on here. It’s just a phrase, Blanche, and it can (and has) been applied to a lot of other dopers besides yourself.
Only when she is creating enchantment.
…and the Google ads are for colon cleansing kits.
Perhaps for whores who need a bit of cleaning?
I wasn’t going to post here, but what the hell are you talking about? I live in a house that is rented by my husband and myself. I do not live with my parents, nor have I for a long time.
And now more people on “that other board” are saying they are me and apparently trying to help me get banned. This is insanity.
What is “that other board,” and why don’t you raise your concerns there?
You’re funny, Blanche. Pass the Cheetos.
They are getting my email and personal information from here, and they are obviously members here. It’s like there’s some conspiracy to drive me out.
Blanche, why in the holy hells would you give half a shit about what people on “that other board” are saying? I know that my name comes up every now and then on “that other board*,” and I really really really don’t care. There are far more interesting things to think about. Just be pleased that people think you’re interesting enough to discuss, and move on with life. And quit talking about it, for the love of Christ.
Daniel
- That’s a lie: I guess that it comes up.
Answer the question, Blanche! How many Whoppers have you given up?
p.s. Unless somebody can figure out how to log in as you and post some inflammatory shit here using your name, they’re not going to be able to get you banned, so you can tone the paranoia down a bit. Although it increasingly seems you’re either cowshit crazy or a troll, so I imagine you’ll be able to get yourself banned soon enough, should you so desire.
ohhh, the insanity!!
:rolleyes:
BAHAHAHAHAA…I mean. Why don’t you just block your email address in your profile, pony up the $15, and ignore them? Your last name wouldn’t be DuBois, by any chance, would it?
Attention whore=Drama queen. If no one was convinced before, this will go a long way to helping them make up their minds.
