Look, sorry about your mom, but really, if you’re going to judge other people, you should be prepared to take what you dish out. I’m not saying one follows the other, mind you, but if you think other people need your “tough love” or whatever you’re trying to do, bear in mind that others’ remarks may be meant in the same spirit.
Nope, pretty sure she’s serious.
Huh. I seem to recall her being a reasonable poster, but maybe my mind isn’t what it used to be. What a judgmental fucking bitch.
yeah. the second link the OP posted up top felt very wtf to me when i was reading that thread. i understand that calling folks out in the pit is the done thing sometimes, but dude, not every thread calls for a snotty “so let me get this straight” post.
Yeah I remember her being reasonable too. I hope this is a temporary adjustment.
She can’t tolerate two people with impaired vision falling in love and having a relationship.
She also cannot imagine being friends with anyone who does not think and behave similarly to herself.
Now I don’t know the lady, so I won’t judge her. It’d be good if she understood why I won’t judge her. It seems, from her rant at least, that she does not.
Link?
Did she actually say blind people can’t date?
Clarification?
Not sure at all what this means…
Not in those exact words:
“Oh, the bitchings I could bitch about how she’s spending time with a non-sighted person. But when love strikes, I guess it’s not necessarily without a tinge of irony.”
This is her quote which led me to say the comment which you apparently are so confused about.
And I am not going to judge her because I don’t know her, there very well may be qualities and characteristics to her personality that run completely counter to the image I see here on the surface. She seems to be unable to grasp that things that appear one way, on the surface, can be very different upon closer examination.
Interesting - taken out of context, they do seem rather assholish. Notice the emphasis: when read in context, her posts may seem a tad abrasive, but not nearly as bad as you’d like to make them seem. IMO, quoting a post out of context in a Pit thread is a bit disengenuous, and bad form (then again, it’s the Pit, right?).
I had read each of her posts in the original threads, and while maybe her post in the first thread could have been softened a bit (but I don’t think gentle guidance is really rachelellogram’s forte), she made some good, constructive points - what’s she supposed to do, join the pity party? Her statement in the “train disaster” thread was spot on - I felt the exact same thing myself reading about that stupid fucking stunt, I just didn’t have the time to post in that thread. And her last post linked, re: the Amy Player/LOTR saga, made me laugh out loud.
And finally, in the thread you linked about her mom - it’s an awfully short thread, in which she’s pretty forthright with those questioning her, and giving as good as she gets. It really doesn’t really seem like the comeuppance you’re presenting it as.
She’s not a perfect person and I think she’d be the first to say so.
The thing about her mother is, I think her feelings her valid. Even though her mother being blind is sad, that doesn’t mean that rachel should carry the burden of it. Love or not love. Especially if a lot of her time is being devoted to ferrying her mother over to her boyfriend’s house. I think what came across as “Two blind people getting together, how dare they!” was really, “Out of all the people my mother could hook up with, why did she have to pick a guy who’s in worse shape than she is in and can’t help her a bit?” Still harsh, but I can totally feel her on that one. She was just venting to us. I don’t think she’d say these things to her mother.
Yeah, she does strike me as being tad judgmental, though. Especially for someone who admittedly has some problems. But she doesn’t strike me as a hypocrite. If someone is being hypocritically judgmental, they definitely deserve the Pit. But it doesn’t seem like she’s being that.
I always cringe whenever reading upwards of 90% of her posts, so I don’t think she’s kidding.
Yeah, *you *try living in a cloud of polyester crotch-stink for a while and see how genial you are.
That’s what I always flash to when I see her posts too. I think that was one of the first threads where I remember her. It’s quite unfortunate.
Don’t judge my lifestyle choice!
Well played, my friend, well played.
Do you wanna have a polyester crotch-stink?
Or would you rather hang your head and drink?
Do you want to find alligator crotch perfume they just put on sale?
Do you want to cross your legs, keep your crotch-stink from flying from here?
If everyone on here stopped making judgmental posts there’d be about twenty a day remaining, all in the game room.
Untrue. There would still be me. I am not judgmental. I am cruel, silly, cruel, borderline delusional, repetitive, cruel, obsessive, possibly sociopathic, and cruel, but I am not judgmental.
I’m another one who has a very difficult time separating her from the crotch-stink discussion. I never participated in any of it at the time, but it has forever stuck in my head. I mean…I don’t even know what to say. Sweat doesn’t necessarily smell bad, and your crotch shouldn’t really stink.
About the thread; my dad keeps asking me for more than I am willing to give, too, and I am still figuring out how to navigate it. So I sympathize. But all i can think about is CROTCH STINK!
ETA: I’m Judgy McJudgerson. I think you all should shape up right now! Stand up straight! And who dressed you, your mothers?
