Yes, I saw yours after I posted, but them responded to another post. Thanks for pulling your teeth out, as leaving them in makes it very difficult to go to the bathroom.
I knew you’d do that…you are transparent. You Obsf are the all mighty, the king, the one that knows it all…I bow to your…Oh wait I don’t even bow to people I have any respect for.
You’re gonna make me cry obf, boo hoo, I am leaving because you are a big meanie. :rolleyes: Believe me, I know the difference between having a mental breakdown than you and some of your fans with “delusions of grandeur” I can at least accept my faults, admit them and try my best to own up to them rather than thinking I am the model by which all should follow.
If I were only religious, I would be asking Jesus to bring down upon you some sense of humbleness. Since I am a theist I will ask the God I know to at least slap you up side the head several times to give you even the smallest amount of compassion towards other people.
That very sick woman hurts people on purpose; Crunchy Frog does not. What more do you people need to know?
I have fans? I have fans! I HAVE FANS!!!
I had no idea.
What the fuck are you talking about?
Well, this whole thing really sucks.
Point Numero Uno: CF, to quote somebody above, you’re a kickass poster. Don’t leave. Nobody seriously thinks you’re a card-carrying schizo with sock puppets out the wazoo.
Point Numero Dos (warning-- two-bit armchair psychoanalysis coming up): Umm, am I the only one to notice the following chain of events?
–CF flirts a lot on the boards.
–CF’s erstwhile girlfriend comes in and makes a mess, thus garnering mucho attentione and temporarily interrupting the flirting.
–The GF’s messmaking takes place exclusively in the flirting venue, MPSIMS. Yes?
–CF then has to stop flirting temporarily while the mess is cleaned up.
–Many of the posters who are the most vocally outraged about the GF’s messmaking are other Flirting Game players. Yes?
–Thus virtually guaranteeing a repeat performance the next time the MPSIMS conversation turns to virtual blowjobs and nekkid pizza parties.
Is this perhaps the MB equivalent of stomping on his toes under the table?
Point Numero Tres:
Get a life, people. To quote somebody else above, it’s only a message board. So ya’ll got sucked into a Spam-o-gram, so what? Not the first time it’s ever happened. On the one hand, I like what Ayesha said, that it’s better to be the kind of person who offers love even if there’s a chance it might get kicked back into your face, than to be the kind of person who is afraid to offer love at all.
OTOH, are some of us maybe going to be a little bit more standoffish the next time a first-post newbie logs on and proceeds directly to MPSIMS and spins a tale about a sick child/dog/husband/mother/resident alien, especially if the tale in question sounds exactly like every “Little Krissy Is Dying!” spam e-mail you ever saw? :rolleyes:
OTOH, roses and lilies to all who did rush forward with hugs for the stranger with the sick child. 
I don’t spend much time interacting with the Hug Brigade, but it’s nice to know it’s there if I need it. Like State Farm. “and like a good neighborrrr…State Farm is therrrree…”
MPSIMS as Insurance Company? Hm.
Oh I’m so sorry, you and your comrads, not fans…pardon me.
Without meaning to, I did put crunchy in an unwinnable position. He cant prove a negative. I didnt ask him to, and unless I see him and her in person together, I wont ever beleive it (I also have my doubts about micheal and janet jackson!)
I just think he is full of it.
I am as entitled to that opinion as those of you who think I am a bitch for expressing it.
Why does this bother me? I dunno, maybe as a parent I find the idea of a dying suffering child to be to unbearable to think about… maybe because my heart aches for people like Kricket who has real children with real problems, but she doesnt email people to start sympathy threads for her!
People have often used the comparison to the SDMB as a party, dont like the house rules then leave etc…
Well, I dont know about the rest of you, but where I come from, you bring an asshole to a party, KNOWING they are an asshole, then you sit back and WATCH them be an asshole - that makes you one too.
I would like to see ron take some friggin responsibility on this, and I thought for a minute he did, then it turned into another “I’m leaving, no really, dont try to talk me out of it, I am really leaving” thing, with him listing all of his problems and stuff.
If you are going, GO, if not, stop talking about it.
I hope if nothing else this teaches us that we dont have to share every frigging thing with someone just because we are involved with them. I doubt there is anyone one this board who hasnt has a psycho ex-SO in their past… but we dont all have them posting here.
Ok, but I still don’t know what you were talking about.
“Believe me, I know the difference between having a mental breakdown than you and some of your fans”
What does that mean? I’m assuming there was punctuation intended for the entire paragraph that got lost in the mail. I inserted it and figured out the rest, but that piece evades me.
obfusciatrist,
It’s that you and a band of people around here like to jump on other people for some of the most stupid shit.
You did say a nasty thing or two about me, here and elsewhere. You continue to bring up my past despite the fact that is aint about me or Crunchy Frog but about Honesty and her weird attempts, okay beyond weird, at attention. You and other’s wont let the past go no matter what I say.
It saddens me more than angers me. I never did anything to you, yet you like to rub my face in things that I can’t or in this case Crunchy can’t do a damn thing about. If certain people, in your narrow vision, are martyrs and do things “just to get attention” but are overall okay posters, then I don’t know why you feel the need to harp on the subject…and continue to bring it up? I never, ever, have done anything remotely to get attention, ever. I have had problems, many of us do, some of us more than others but don’t be poopooing some of us for recognizing our own faults and you sit there in your velvet computer chair with Elivs painted on it laughing with others because you have some superiority complex and bestowing your presence amongst others because you feel you are the model of love, life and the pursuit of happiness.
I could see if I were on the level of recent events but I am not. In fact, I am more even keal than I have been in ages. Part of it is because of certain people on the SDMB and Fathom have maybe pushed me a little but always been there for me when my world felt like it was falling apart. If you have never had depression or another similar mental issue then you can’t understand. But your behavior leads me to believe you dig this more than you are willing to admit…ah someone to kick while their down. Someone that I can actually feel good about my life because they have worse problems than I do.
This is the behavior I am talking about, the “delusions of grandeur” I speak of…as for your fellow commrads, think about it, look at the other window you have sitting there in on your task bar…
Ummm…I’ve jumped on exactly two people on these boards as far as I can recall (if there were more, mention them and I will add them to the list): Zenster, You.
I don’t think either are unjustified. But that is beside the point.
I was not trying to jump on Crunchy (though I did end up using strong language), I was trying to point out a trait I feel he and Honesty share that might explain why she has targeted SDMB for her games. Crunchy and I worked it out in a much more civil manner than your response. If you didn’t leap to everyone’s defense you might find that they can handle themselves.
The only reason I brought up your past is because you’ve been prancing around here lately telling people how they should behave. This, frankly, makes me laugh since every time you get a few beers in you, you can no longer remember how to behave. You say this is in the past, and you are on an even keel? It has been 16 days since the last time you said you were leaving. In the last eight months you have left at least five times, many times burning as many bridges as you can find. If you feel it is is inappropriate for me to point out why it is inappropriate for you to point out inappropriateness that is fine. We’ll just continue to ignore each other.
As for my comrades. I’m not sure what you think we do in chat. We certainly aren’t planning how to gang up on you. Yes, there is backbiting and their is backflirting and all that shit. But I guarantee you that happens anytime two dopers talk in real time. The only reason you come up so often is your behavior, and I have seen no sign that it is in the past.
kelli, just how should I take responsibility? I know she wouldn’t be here if not for me, and although I am leaving, this is only one part of it. I listed the other reasons so people wouldn’t feel as if I was chased off the boards, that I need to go anyway. There’s nothing I can do here, on the boards, to make her stop doing the sort of thing she did, but I can help her IRL.
In the meantime, I think if I left, maybe she would stop coming here also. I thought I said that earlier. The other reasons I listed are so people understand that is not the only reason I’m leaving, although it may have sped the decision along a bit. I thought that was my way of taking responsibility. Tell me then, o wise swami, what else should I do besides take a vacation from here and see what I can do about Honesty?
I’m trying over here, kelli. At least give me credit for that instead of being bitchy about the way I’m trying.
OH, that means I am leaving? Yes this is a direct quote from what I said not 16 days ago but 18 days ago…does that scream to you that I am leaving, or I am calling to the mods to suspend my posting privis? Not in my book, it means to me that I am gonna take a while to step back, which I did. I haven’t gotten pissy with you nor your comrads i had to take a step back from the events in that thread…and no I didn’t bring it up directly, you did, I gave enough information to see what you would think, I was right. I have evidence to it…but that’s not for here.
Anyhow, I am not here to argue with you about me or my postings, it’s frankly a very silly thing. But I will state this, if you ever feel that your life is falling apart and circumstances beyond your control where you’re in a tail spin, don’t rely upon me to give you any kind words in return…Oh wait, your life is so in control that stabbing people in the back is the life blood with which you thrive on. < I go past where I wanted >
In either case obf, you and I can’t agree, so let it be. You and a few of your back stabbing counterparts can just leave me alone…I have not interacted with a few of them, a few I have and we have not gotten to this type of shitty battle for words. Those are the people that I will at least acknowledge, even a few I have had serious words with in the past and we’ve been civil even if not kissed and made up…Oh and coming from someone that I have never had any kind of encounter with I am more saddened by your hurding needs than your ability to think for yourself.
er INABILITY…
But you’d rather belive that posts made 5 minutes apart from two separate IPaddresses were made by the same people. Coldy even shows that mine come from an AT&T corporate account, the other from Charter Communications (local cable company). So instead of thinking maybe we really are two people, you’d rather be paranoid to believe that I’m running back and forth from work to another computer somewhere just to fuck around with a message board.
Why don’t you stop being paranoid and think for a fucking minute. Why would I create sock puppets from the same IP just to turn them in to the admins in private emails? What do I have to gain from that? Have you bothered asking TubaDiva if I’m telling the truth on that point?
Do you really think I’m leaving my work - my job which pays my rent, bills, car insurance, etc - just to troll on the boards?
Stop looking for something that’s not there and think logically kelli, what do I possibly have to get from doing something like that, other than fired from my job?
Yes, it looked to me like you were saying you would be leaving for a while again. If that was incorrect, then I stand corrected. I have no idea what was in that thread as I didn’t read it, I just searched your posts backwards until I found one that looked like you said you were leaving. Thank you for pointing out the error in my math, that move from 16 to 18 days does push it over the ancient history threshhold.
Whatever my comrades did to you in that thread, I am sure they feel bad about it.
I honestly don’t see how you think I am trying to hurt you. I am simply try to make it clear to you that your behavior does not put you in a good position to be telling others how to behave. If that hurts you, I’m sorry, but it is still true.
One thing I would like to comment on specifically is this:
First, I would never come to these boards seeking support, understanding, and help. I might go to a few people here directly but I do not broadcast my woes for all to hear. Second, you never ask for understanding or help or kind words. You get drunk, then you pissed off, then you tell us all off, then you wonder why nobody is giving you kind words when your life is obviously in a tailspin.
Now, deconstruct this for me:
People with stable lives reach a point where hurting people is the only thing that brings them pain? I assume that isn’t what you meant, but it is what you said.
Yes, my life is stable. My life is pretty good. Do I derive pleasure in hurting people? No. Do I put up with fools? No. Does that hurt the fools? Perhaps, but I can’t claim sole responsiblity for that.
And I am hurt that you ascribe my feelings to some form of groupthink. I assure you that my thoughts are my own. If there is indeed a faction out to get you, I assure you I would not allow them to dictate my thoughts; I would dictate to them their thoughts. I’m just a jackass in that way.
“only thing that brings them pain” should be “only thing that brings them joy”
Seriously, if you have to constantly announce to the board that you’re leaving in order to take some time off, you’re craving some attention bad.
I’ve never before asked the mods/admins to close a thread which I didn’t start or didn’t have an personal investment in and I hope I never have to do it again.
Can we please close this thread mods/admins and force the people whose only purpose is to attack Crunchy to establish threads doing so directly?
Yesterday my heart sang because the very best attributes of being part of this MB were publicly displayed (albeit in respect of someone who did not, ultimately, deserve the kindness of strangers). Today this feeding frenzy is making me feel far more nauseous than Little Tassie’s transgressions ever could.
In the interests of this community mods/admins, please close this thread NOW.
Ummmmmm well, I have been known to drink like a fish, get pissy then stomp out like a fool with bells and pom poms, I am not denying that. I also have been known to be drunk and act like I don’t give a shit… What I do not dig is the reasoning that you felt to bring up my past in this particular thread since I was looking beyond Crunchy’s past and seeing that he needs a break. I think if someone can see he/she needs a break is a good thing. It means they realize they need to distance themselves from what could be a very emotional outburst, something I have experienced in the past, but you know that.
I do recall that someone here, and I am going off memory, stated that given current events at that time, I came across as a complete ass (this is not verbatim) but that my then current postings where enough for them to be pissed and the new people to wonder about me.
I stepped back, I realized, they are probably right. I took this to heart as I do most of my board interactions more than you know.
My world may not be 100% obf, but I am doing my damnedest to distance myself in an appropriate manner (drunk or not) when I let people like you get on my nerves. Again, a lot of it has a lot to do with my SDMB and Fathom friends who gave me the right ways to encounter my foolishness through tough love or kindness.
That’s why I stated that the God I know needs to slap you a few times to give you some sense of compassion. Through no fault of his own, Crunchy Frog feels he needs to take any temptation to post here until further notice. I don’t see any weakness in that, not because I have been there, but for one’s need to be honest with him/herself and realize, maybe this isn’t healthy for me at this time.
I can understand when someone like Crunchy Frog feels the need to step back and ponder things. Whether or not he writes his novel, gets Honesty under control or if he just needs a breather from BS like the crap that this thread embodies, is really not your concern whether or not he’s doing it to “get attention”. He said he needs a break. Let him have the break, get his thoughts back in order and do your best to welcome him back if you can find it in your heart. I think that’s what ticks me off more than anything. So many on this board are not willing to just accept, but they’d rather judge. Someone needs a break, someone needs to be less involved emotionally, most of the times I have seen this happen the members involved where in their own right.
Unless you walk a mile in my shoes… (or their shoes, his shoes, her shoes, whatever…)
Oh and obf…a poster doesn’t need to have their post count returned to zero here. Post count aint worth a damn as far as I am concerned. If you are wondering where I am coming from, please seek out your memory banks for that specific comment you made. If you can’t figure it out, then remember the next time you decide to specifically go through people’s posts to create a watered down remark about another member’s intentions to prove a half assed and stretching point you made.
Tubadiva and I have discussed this. Crunchy Frog has, indeed, turned Honesty in if he knows what she’s up to. FTR, I do NOT believe that CF had any knowledge of what Honesty was doing this time. I’ve checked the IP logs and LittleTassie has never posted from CF’s IPs. CF is in no danger of being banned for Honesty’s actions.
I accept that reprise had only the best of intentions when s/he (sorry, don’t know the gender) posted that thread in the Pit. And I am grateful that reprise doesn’t seem to be pissed at me for doing my job.
I REALLY do not want to remove Crunchy Frog’s posting privileges. But since that’s the way he wants it, I’ll do it. I am very unhappy about this whole situation.
I’m very close to closing this thread. I think I’m gonna let it run another day.
