The Mermaid

I shall have to break out those ass-missing pants Howard Stern wore… Or the ones Jim Carrey had…

oh wait… let me get this right.

mermaid is upset, not because blowero posted a whinge about geocities popups, but because he did not clap her hard enough for the little joke she made up.

which she worked so hard upon.

hey, mermaid, go read the thread. you got plenty of applause. enough kudos to last you the next twenty-four hours at least.

fuck, just get over yourself. next time you post a ‘please praise me’ thread, how about you tell us so we make sure that our compliments are at least as weighty as our quibbles.

Sorry gex gex, I’m not upset at all. It would seem to be Blowero who has his panties in a bunch.

First of all I did not post a please praise me thread. I posted a little throwaway joke page. I probably reacted a bit more strongly than was necessary to the petty shit–and I have said that already-- but if you would bother to read any of my other posts or the explaination of why it struck such a raw nerve you would understand that while I may have over reacted slightly, Blower is taking over reation to a whole new level. This is his pit thread after all.

I am actually quite amused by how weak, shallow, fragile and emotionally needy a few of you seem to think I am. Do you imagine that I am curled up in a fetal postion on the floor sobbing about why some nameless faceless people I have never heard of think I am a great big poopy head and don’t want to play with me anymore? :wally

While blowboy imagines that I have flamed him, if you will reread what I have said, you will find he is mistaken. The worst I have called him is “acting like a dickhead”. And IMHO any man who calls a woman a cunt is a misogynist.

On the other hand here are only a few of the insults Blowhard has flung at me like a monkey flinging shit.

As hard as it may seem to believe, I am simply bored by this infantile “flaming”. You see, for a person’s comments to hurt me, I would actually have to value the opinion of the commentator. I have not seen anything of any value yet.

My emotional health is just fine. I like me. I don’t need others to validate my self worth. Not bitter- not a hag, sorry.l

My sex life is just great, thankyouverymuch. I got some this morning, how about you? I’m a lover not a fighter. I don’t hate men, just some boys.

I am happy to report that my ass is still 100% stick free.

Now please either find a real reason to “flame :rolleyes:” me or go annoy someone else.

More from the Merbeast:

Oh, how silly of me - how could I have possible thought that “acting like a dickhead” was a flame? “Blowhard”, and “Blowboy”, while not the slightest bit clever, still sound like attempts at insults to me - but I guess you must have meant them as compliments, eh?

Apparently it’s o.k. to use slang words for genitals as an insult, but only in formats approved by The Mermaid. So if I had said she was “acting like a cunthead”, then she wouldn’t be able to claim moral superiority. Darn - if only I had known.

And yet you keep doing it.

Methinks thou protesteth too much.

Words cannot describe how little I care about your (not so humble) opinion.

Thanks SO much for sharing:rolleyes:

Blow me in my cunthead!

Anal dick, boy!

Stick it in my ass, you Merbeast!
You read this thread really fast and it sounds real dirty in a boom-chicka-wa-wa way.
[Nelly]It’s getting hot in here.
So take off all your clothes.[/Nelly]

I’m reminded of this: “You’re ugly and stupid, and you smell bad. Everyone says so.”

[Can’t remember where that’s from, though…]

Well duh- Diane posted, for one.

Kidding! I’m kidding! Ow! Stop that!!
:wink:
Zette

(Somehow I think that when we meet, Diane is going to hug me and punch me square in the face, not necessarily in that order)

Owwwch, quit it, stop please, I can’t take it anymore. You are killing me.

Don’t make me laugh anymore, I’ve got a stitch in my side

Methinks thou art a fucking joke. I have had my fun with you but to continue would be cruel. Don’t you see, I just don’t care if you like me? buh bye.

Methinks if some people in this thread are getting bedroom action, it must not be very good.

Somehow I doubt that, considering how upset you were when you thought that I had insulted your little joke. You made such a fuss about how you had taken the time to “acquire the picture, create a page, start a thread and post a link to it.” And the thing is, I had absolutely no intention of insulting you. In fact, my intention was to compliment you on a clever joke; I simply made an innocuous comment about how the Geocities popups were annoying. In fact, if you hadn’t been such a bitch about it, I probably would have apologized, even though I didn’t really have anything to apologize for.

So I hope it makes you feel good to feign indifference now - but you obviously are not indifferent to other people’s opinions. In fact, I would say you are hyper-sensitive. Hopefully next time you won’t have such a big chip on your shoulder.

So then, a woman who calls a man a dick would be a misandrist, right?

I know nobody asked my opinion, but I find both combatants here annoying as Hell. (though I’m leaning toward blowero as the lesser annoyance of the two.)

Yeah, yeah, I know. If I don’t like the threads I shouldn’t read 'em.

As you were.

Well, I’m not getting any action, but you don’t see me spouting off with a ream of fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck and other hate-filled witticisms.

Not true - you know that the c-word (my own distaste for it prevents me from typing it!) is considered to be far worse than “dick”.

If I have learned anything on this board it is that some people just don’t know when to quit. I often think I know when, it’s the how that I always have trouble with. Now I am going to give you my summary of this situation and my final comments on this matter:

I did make a rash statement that I have already admitted was over the top. For that I am sorry. But as long as we are being honest here, you must also admit that you have responded to that slight in a disproportionate manner with the verbal equivilent of killing a fly with a sledgehammer. You are huffing and puffing around here issueing vague warnings regarding the repetion of nonexistant behaviors for which there are no inforceable consequences

I can’t resist a good straight line so I keep responding to your infantile taunts because it amuses me. Yeah I can be a bitch that way. The fact is that this thread is becoming a waste of bandwidth and frankly boring. You don’t like what I said to you. Ok I got it. I couldn’t “get it” any better if you repeated it another 10, 12 or 50 times.

I am not sure what you want from me but I have a feeling you are not sure either. I’m also pretty sure that whatever you need, I can’t give it to you.

Still have a lot of rhetorical questions I’d like to ask but really don’t feel need a response. Consider them a self discovery tool.

What is your purpose for repeating your message ad nauseum? What do you hope to accomplish?
How can you tell when you’re done?
Are you done yet?
How about now?
I sure hope you figure it out soon because I am done.

Now go have a nice life.

I’ve been following this sad saga for a while and I love the irony of this line coming from the guy who started the Pit thread. Wouldn’t it have been easier to write a simple line in the original thread stating, “I didn’t mean for you to take it personally and I’m sorry if you did.” instead of starting this entire mess? A little civility goes a long way. It was obvious she misunderstood the intent of your original comment, so you yell and scream and spit bile at a person over a misunderstanding?

And blowero, your remark to dantheman - “Good one. You took that same “need to get laid” insult that I wrote in the first post, and used it on me. You’re a fucking comedy genius.” This is just a wordy way of saying “Ha ha, it was so funny I forgot to laugh.” I hope you don’t consider this wit, as most people abondoned that tactic by junior high.

Now mermaid’s turn - The general consensus, and my opinion as well, is that you overreacted in the original thread. Maybe a simple “mea culpa” would’ve ended this debacle in under 15 posts. However I understand the natural response to respond to anger with anger. If your tired of his flames, then stop reading this and stop posting here.

You’ve both been needlessly escalating this and flaming one another over what is essentially a misunderstanding.

My point of view is mermaid owes blowero a simple apology for her overreaction, and blowero owes mermaid a little apology for his overreaction to her overreaction.

Go back and re-read what started this all, is it really that big of a deal to continue this childish sniping and name-calling?

You forgot the third and probably first, when I fart in my hand and put it over your nose.

Word.

:rolleyes:

Woo hoo! I’m slightly less annoying. YESSS! In your face!:smiley:

Obviously you have learned nothing. You made a big deal out of how you were so over me, and how you were done, and your little “buh-bye” speech. But then you just HAD to post one more time. See, if you say “I’m done with you”, then keep coming back and saying, “O.K., this time I REALLY mean it”, “Well, this time for sure”… It kind of loses it’s effect. I think it really gets to you when you feel criticized, and you just can’t let it go - even though you want to pretend like you are nonchalant. That’s why you overreacted to my post in the first place.

Thanks. You could have said that in the first place and saved a lot of aggravation.

Guilty as charged.D:

Whoa! You had me, then you lost me. What the fuck are you talking about? I have threatened NOBODY. I told you that you should have posted your original flame here in The Pit, and I said hopefully you won’t have a chip on your shoulder next time - if that’s what you’re talking about. A criticism is not a threat. I know criticism makes YOU feel threatened, but they aren’t the same thing. You can take your little implications and shove 'em up your ass.

Listen, honey - after the o.p., I didn’t say anything that wasn’t a direct response to you or someone else. IF YOU WERE SO BORED, WHY ON GOD’S GREEN EARTH DID YOU KEEP POSTING RUDE RESPONSES??? I guess you must really enjoy being bored.

That all depends on you, darling.:wink:

Gee, do ya really mean it this time?

Yes, it is just like “so funny I forgot to laugh”. It’s called sarcasm. Sorry if I lost you on that one. Let me make it clearer for you:
Dantheman…copied…what…I…already…said.

Isn’t that just a wordy way of saying “That was funny…in 3rd grade”? Anybody else getting a whiff of irony in here?

Oh, and to dantheman, who posted these 2 masterpieces:

I’m getting a little tired of your insistence that YOUR choice of cuss-words is somehow more PC than anyone else’s.

I’ll leave you all with a joke:

A guy goes to the doctor.
He says, “Doctor, I get bored when I read this thread.”
The doctor says, “Well, don’t read the thread.”

Huh? When did I copy what you said? Or did you call yourself boring while I wasn’t looking? :slight_smile:

Are you aware that as you post more and more to this thread, you portray yourself as more and more of a buffoon? I mean, it’s not as if people are trying to make you look bad - you’re doing a fantastic job of wallowing in self-indulgent prattling.

Never said I was more PC than anyone else- care to back up that misstep in logic? I didn’t say it once, let alone multiple times as to construe an “insistence”. My point was that with all of your pent-up aggression, you couldn’t even insult creatively - you leaned on profanity like it was some kind of walking stick. You’re better than that, right?

Now, it’s usually unwise to read into someone’s posting stylings, but your messages in this thread might indicate that perhaps there is something going on in your life that’s causing you undue stress and aggravation, and you’ve decided to simply lash out at anyone who dares contradict you here, in a Pit thread. That’s ok - I mean after all, we’re only fonts, right? But if it’s true that something else has you on edge, maybe you could find a better outlet for your angst.

You don’t present a good impression, and perhaps this doesn’t matter a whit to you - no problem, you’re entitled to act as you will. I will not assume you’re as big of an ass as you appear to be, based on this thread. I will assume you have something to actually offer this board other than wild ravings.

And of course, there’s the whole issue of gee-if-ya-don’t-like-it-don’t-read-it. There’s a lot of validity to that; obviously, if I really didn’t want to be in this thread, I wouldn’t be, and that’s true of anyone. I think the problem is that this quickly devolved into a “you suck!”, “no, YOU suck!” deal. And that is boring. So excuse us if we tell you you’re boring. Maybe you really are. :slight_smile:

Anyway, most of my admittedly low-key posts in here have been poking fun at you, not fighting with you. You see, it is possible to engage in some kind of witty repartee; I can walk away from this computer and not carry your volatility with me. Can you do the same?

This thread makes the Baby Jesus cry. :frowning:

Whoa. Since when does using the word cunt make one misogynistic? I do realize that’s just your opinion, but I think that’s quite a leap.

Although I don’t use in conversation much, I call people daft cunts when I’m driving all the time. Cut me off in traffic? You’re a daft cunt. Ride your brakes too much? Daft cunt. Run a red light? Fucking daft cunt.

…And it’s not just reserved for women, either.
