How did they know you were a member of the SDMB Post club or whatever?
Argh, I suck. Cut-n-paste demons got me - that first paragraph of my last post was said by F_X of couse.
I’d say something, but I don’t want to be accused of piling on.
oops.
First, you aren’t coming across as a very mature individual here. All she did was say she didn’t want to IM with you, what’s the big fucking deal?
Second, how did the admins of that board know you have over 1,000 posts here? Did they use mystical mod powers or did you casually mention it?
Third, I think Primaflora said exactly what she meant, that you were having a pity party for yourself. I think you’re the one who’s going the need a :smack: or maybe a :wally would be more appropriate. Choices, choices…
I need to type faster.

hardy, do ALL rants have to be about things that affect you in real life? I know it would probably be more pointed if it was something that did so, but as it happens, this rant is not. But to answer your question, it does not affect me in real life. However, it does affect me to a bit in the virtual community, adn as such, I felt it was appropriate to post. We all know that message boards aren’t really real life, after all.
Oooh, a spelling nitpick to support a point. :rolleyes:
So let me see if I’m following this…
You are a member at a message board that is aimed towards a certain sector of the population. A sector you happen not to be a member of. It’s a free country, you can join any boards you choose.
A member of that population finds out you don’t really belong to that sector and is a little disconcerted. Again, understandable. If I joined a message board aimed towards people with cabbages for heads even though I don’t have a cabbage for a head, I would understand people being weirded out.
You, on the other hand, are dismayed and proceed to throw an multi board hissy fit, virtually kicking and screaming like a preschooler up past naptime.
Good grief, you are so self absorbed you should hang a string out your pantleg and call yourself Tampax.
BEST.
COMEBACK.
EVER.
Oh my god.
Flamsterette_X I’d also like to take issue with your last sentence (or sentences depending on whether the “…” was supposed to be “.” or “…”).
"No, I’m not vindictive… I’m just getting the word out. "
Getting the word out to whom? To us? In case one person here happened to stumble upon that particular message board (out of the hundreds of thousands on the internet) and AIM that particular board member (out of the thousands on that site) and that particular SDMB member also didn’t happen to have any twin family members? Wow, thank you for your consideration. You should really consider getting a tax deduction for these PSAs that you do.
But on a seperate note, I should mention I was joking in my above post. Normally I don’t like to point out my jokes because it sorta ruins any of the (admitedly little) hilarity there was to begin with. This time it serves a purpose. It was a joke. I told a joke and you misconstrued it. I gave you an indication I was joking because I wrote “I kid I kid” which should have been a billboard on the information superhighway that what you just read was a joke and you STILL misconstrued it.
So is it even at all possible that this Laura person was just joking around or perhaps trying to lightly brush you off and you misconstrued it as being something it wasn’t (i.e. a rude send off)?
Additionally, I’d like to advertise that I’m a member of the following clubs:
Straight Dope Apathetic Bastards
Straight Dope Posters Who Like Beer
Straight Dope Chronic Masturbators
People Who Bear Witness Of The Straight Dope
Dopers Who Have Passed Out Mid-Post
Straight Dopers Who Have Had Sex With Other Straight Dopers, But Not With Gay Or Lesbian Dopers
Dopers Who Usually Spell Well
Dopers Who Have Not Had A Banana Ensconsed In Their Assholes
Straight Dope Banana Lovers
Posters With Occasionally Bad Hair
The Mr. Cynical Self-Love Community
Hungry Hungry Hippos
Thank you.
Maybe I missed something somewhere … Flamsterette, did you ever email this Laura person to ask her what was up with that IM? Work it out, maybe, instead of ranting about it?
– Dragonblink, who will admit she’s not perfectly coolheaded herself
I don’t think Laura was rude at all - I think she wanted to talk to adults that are twins, have twins or are pregnant with twins.
By your own admission, you’re none of the above. Perhaps she finds your rather - verbose - style of writing a tad to much to deal with when trying to chase after her twins, and she let you know.
It seems quite clear that you’re in the wrong here, and you’ve tried to slam people on this board for pointing it out. Relax - not EVERYONE has to like you, ya know.
I’d hope that the point has been proven by now, guys. Lets leave it at that unless Flam wants to go digging some more.
I love this. Can I use it sometime? Please?
Flamsterette_X, it is totally inappropriate to bring baggage from another message board to this one. Moreover, it’s inappropriate for you to claim membership of a nonexistent Straight Dope club. You are NOT someone who I’d like to see represent the Straight Dope.
I’m closing this thread. Don’t start another one like it.
