As you were. I just did what I should have done in the first place and scrolled up. Sorry. (Are you allowed to apologise in the Pit?)
Sure, but then you get fed to the hamsters. With barbecue sauce.
I don’t know…the dead giveaway always seems to be when someone questions about the story that doesn’t sound like it quite jibes, and the OP has to come back in and say something like, "no no no, it’s not like that…I didn’t mean to make it sound like he is (whatever, fill in the blank), the truth his, he really is very (whatever, fill in the blank). A sure sign, IMO, that the person hasn’t thought their story all the way through before posting.
I loved the part where she says in one thread that her current BF cheated on his last GF with her, and she’s waaaay better looking. Then someone posts that bit, and she says, “Oh, no, it wasn’t clandestine, it wasn’t sleazy like that, it was complicated.” Ummm, yeah, right. And you’re an ingenue who is so young and dewy and clueless. There aren’t enough :rolleyes: s for this kind of bullshit.
Right, it’s complicated. And the ex girlfirend is probably psycho, too. They always are.
I’m sorry, I don’t usually get involved in calling out people on BS, but in this case, I can’t help it.
And she met him on a website that has the pr0ns on it too, and terrible, sleazy girls… but SHE wasn’t one of those girls! And he never looks at porn or jerks off, and now decries the site as disgusting, which of course leads the nice people of the SDMB to call him a secret masturbating porn addict. Not that she wanted them to think that! Or anything.
She makes it too easy, but then again, so do some of us. Played like a fuckin’ fiddle. I guess it’s normal to just believe people and take them at face value, but between this thread and the other one, it’s just too much.
Anyone else think that other thread is very conveniently timed, right around when this thread started to tank for her? I wonder if this prize is going to subscribe to the Dope or what?
I disagree. I’ve posted OPs before where everyone picked up on some unintended word choice and went hog wild.
I have to say, I can’t imagine you posting any OP that has as many things in it that don’t gibe as this one. I agree that folks around here nitpick meaningless details to death (believe me, I have recent experience with this, and it wasn’t even my thread.) But this is different…it’s more the thing where she sets up the scenario to make the guy look like a jerk, and when people go down that path (“he’s a jerk!”), the OP swings it in another direction (“no, he isn’t, he does all these great things for me…”) And they aren’t minor details that are “conveniently” left out of the OP, either, they seem to be major plot points.
Maybe I am not explaining it well, but I would be very, very surprised to see an OP from you that gives off anywhere close to the same story-changing vibe that this one does.
It is a little weird for someone to start a new thread describing what a jerk the guy is, when she is barely done defending his jerkish behavior in the old thread. A little weird, that’s all I’m sayin’.
Well, I can’t really defend the OP since I started skimming the thread after a few million posts, but I do think it’s possible that she’s real and just really conflicted. She doesn’t want to hear what she’s hearing, so she hides from it.
Or she could be an unholy troll. I dunno.
I can’t say for sure, either…got no proof…it’s just a vibe.
I don’t know if she’s a troll in the sense that she’s a 47 year old man from Singapore pretending to be a 24 year old ingenue from NYC. I do think she might be a nutcase who is distorting a situation for maximum drama and effect, manipulating both her story and her audience for her own self-aggrandizing agenda. Girls like this drive me fucking nuts.
So basically a gold-digging whore of a spoiled princess who fabricated most if not all of the plot points in the story in order to get attention?
And I don’t buy at all that she doesn’t know what the pyjama pants thing is about. She seems to know how this place operates to a fair degree, and I’d wager that the placement of this thread and the IMHO one was intentional. She creates the drama of her own making and then it’s ‘Stop picking on me.’
The other thread showed up after she got lambasted too much in this one. Suddenly the story is completely different, and the relationship that’s so stellar other than a gift really isn’t. Weren’t major plot changes a key feature of the pyjama pants story?
What plot change will be next for nongoog?
Yep, you nailed it.
The question this leaves me with is, what’s the fucking point of it all? Is she consciously bullshitting us, and if so, why? Was stamp collecting getting too involved and she needed a new hobby? The pyjama pants thread was a romance, amusing, erotic, touching, whatever. The OP was being praised and kept it up. nongoog’s OPs are not going to garner praise under the best of circumstances. What is it that she wants exactly?
When does her guest status expire?
I don’t recall plot changes. It was completely linear. “I ogled her in class and she showed me her thong. We strolled around campus and she showed me her thong. I went to her house and she showed me her thong. We went to the beach and she showed me her thong.” There was no plot to change. The red flags in PPG were the numerous Americanisms in a story that was supposedly taking place in “Northern Europe”, and the implausibilities like the horse on the beach. And the total lack of conflict in an alleged budding romance.
But yeah, she does seem to be familiar with SDMB, and the fact that she gets her back up about PPG allegations is telling. I figured we’d get another “He’s being a jerk should I be upset” thread. The fact that we got one before the first thread had died away recalls START, not Skewbald.
The pyjama pants thing had plot changes when people started asking questions about how all this was supposedly going on in pyjama pants girl’s house, as I recall. There were definitely some huge plot holes you could drive a truck through.
Attention.
Doesn’t matter to most attention whores whether the attention is good or bad, as long as there’s a constant supply of it.
I suppose that’s the point at which there’s a new identity and a new set of stories.
Newbie question. I did a search on the Start username. Looked at the first four results. No big deal (sounds a bit young) is there a link to a synopsis or BBQ Pit thread that would explain?
Oh lordy. I don’t feel like linking all the relevant threads. Basically, START was a teenage guy (maybe) who repeatedly posted anecdotes about his and his friends’ jerkish behavior, asking for feedback. At one point, he was getting his ass handed to him in a thread about a friend of his defrauding his employer and customers, and about twelve hours later, announced that his younger brother had died. We didn’t hear from him for a while after that. When he started posting again, he eventually worked his way around to a long story about having been unforgivably cruel to a girl in his middle school, and how horrible it was that in high school, she was turning the tables on him.
And I will always regret that I didn’t realize until it was too late to announce it, that in one of his first threads, he claimed to be 17, yet in later threads, he claimed to be younger than that.
No, but there is a directory that has his internet cache. And cookies.
We catch people looking at porn all the time at work this way. Its enough for her to tell that someone was using his computer to visit that site recently.
Last time I looked at the Dope using IE was 12/23/06 - I usually use Firefox, but I haven’t gotten rid of the IE icon on my desktop and sometimes click it out of habit.
Did START ever admit to being a troll? I don’t remember that. I always thought he was kind of amusing.
