The thread police - get a life

The BBQ Pit

This from the girl who calls herself an “angelic sexpot”?

Honey, I’ve been through this with you before…I enjoy being a sexy blond sex kitten attention whore on this board. It’s something I can’t do in real life…

And what I really enjoy is being able to do it around smart folks like y’all.

But Hardy it’s not like I can go around asking my coworkers if I need a boob lift. And as far as friends’ opinions they’ve all weighed in…and how the hell can you expect them to tell me the girls need to be uplifted. So, yes, it’s a damn serious question.

122

If you want people to see your side of things being irritating is not a good way to do it. Just sayin’.

Also, I’m not sure who you’re warning me to stay away from, but I have been responding to your posts in this thread and your tone. I am capable of forming my own opinions.

All in all, I’m not too worried about who I hang out with here, they don’t have me completely brainwashed. Yet.

must…resist…hive…mind…

123

You know I think you should be able to ask that question and any other you want. You go girl. Ask away.

124

Do you really think they’d listen to reasoning? I have heard the same things with a lot of profanity for two days. And it isn’t even what I started out complaining about. I thoght complaioning in one of those threads was a hijack when if you don’t want to read it, then MYOB, then we ended up debating on whether the tthreads had any business being there to begin with. I tend to be a firm believer in everybody being able to say whatever - even busting into a thread and policing, but they should be able to handle the criticism they get back because doing so is impolite. I’ve ben impolite right back and that is probably immature, at least I can admit it. BUt I’d never be hypocritical and I kind of see a lot of that going on here. I know I am the least popular person in the pit right now and…well you know I don’t care…I rather relish it. So now Iam a troll…not true but I am not going to run from a contraversy. Then I would be a hypocrite.

I haven’t had a probloem with people talking about jerk fests…it amazes me, as sexually as I think, I never ever thought anyone would be masturbating over those threads…it’s all pretty adolescent play in my mind but then…you never know what will put a stick up someone’s…okay wait, I’m being bitchy again.

At least I know I am what I am. I dont’ post that I want to sleep with some guy I never met and then call someone else skeevy.

Here’s what I have a problem with. Going into just about any chat room, I’ll more often than not run into something along the lines of:

chatter1:a/s/l?
chatter2:ne1 wanna chat?
/action chatter3 stretches then curls up in chatter7’s lap
chatter4:whut’s up chatter1?
chatter1: tee hee, nothing chatter4 just hangin’ out wif mah lonesome
chatter4: that’s a cute giggle chatter1, I bet it matches the rest of you
chatter1:<ggl>
chatter22: prances into room, waves at chatter 14 brushing up against him as she passes by
chatter14: sproink! (((((((chatter22)))))
chatter22: ((((chatter14)))))****

room degenerates into discussion of dick size, tit size, rubbings, and purrings… the dance of the seemingly desperate.

Where do I rarely see this happen, out of the numerous chats, on-line games, and newsgroups available? Right here at the SDMB. Sure, I could find a thread fairly easily with something similar, but it usually falls off the page, no harm no foul. Now it’s starting to appear in less expected threads, and on top of it, someone is complaining about being called on their less than inventive flirt-fest.

I don’t know Jar and have never even chatted with her on or off the boards, but I will say that she’s one of the last posters that would come to my mind matching the word, prude. Same with Hama and Diane. My thinking is, you’d be aware of that same thing, if you spent more time reading the boards.

Maybe if you take a good look, you would realize many other people besides yourself could possibly be sexual creatures, too. I didn’t respond in the Spit or Swallow thread, and wasn’t bothered by it. I read a bit of it, and lost interest. Does that mean I didn’t suck my SO’s dick every night last week? Nope. Does that make me a prude? I doubt it. For me it means the SDMB is special, in that it’s not the typical board or chat room. I don’t plan on wasting my time here watching people masturbate all over threads, when I could just get an AOL account and watch the same tripe roll down my screen for hours. My best guess is, most of us have seen this before, it’s nothing new, we open the threads and quickly close the threads not clearly labelled when we realize it’s another AOL chat room.

My best advice to you, if you still don’t get it, is to do a search on Kaykay and then go ahead and do one on that prude Diane.

126

I guess I’m one of those who should get a life then.

I LIKE flirt threads. They’re fun, especially as I’m rather shy in real life, and flirting with total strangers isn’t something I feel comfortable with. (Friends and people I know, YES)

127

It’s a nickname - just like the rest of my sig. I’m multifaceted. :stuck_out_tongue:

**

After all, the point of the boards is two fold - fighting ignorance and giving ego boosts/blowjobs to people who desperately need them yet can’t get them any way but virtually.

I don’t know - wear a bra? Visit a plastic surgeon? Or offer to post pictures of your hootage so you can hear people tell you how sexy you are?

When I first started on the boards, I was knee deep in the flirt crap too. Then I realized that people thought that’s all I was good for. I’d rather be IMed saying"hey, there’s a credit card question in GQ" than “so how YOU doing?”. I’d rather be known for my brains and wit - not the fact I’ll flirt with anything with a pulse and do anything for attention. YMMV.

128

As noble as fighting ignorance is, how many people would be left if every post was anonymous? It may not be the purpose of the board, but even the best and brightest of us here enjoy the attention. And no, that isn’t some indicator that we are lacking in real life.

All I remember of you is some sort of ‘stinky paws’ nonsense and ensuing flame fests. This type of sermonizing just seems odd considering the source.

129

As a neutral party, may I just ask why you need to get the opinions of others to make a decision as personal as a boob lift? Holy shit, you either want them or you don’t and I would suggest that you don’t until you are doing it for youself as opposed to popular opinion.

130

I wonder when talking about sex became such a revolting thing.

My motto is “to each his own”. If you wanna talk about politics or how to trim your cats nails or does your breathe stink, sure I can choose to read or not. Free choice. Wonderful thing. Wouldn’t it be great of some of you could remember that :rolleyes:

131

To each is own indeed, but just as you have the right to debate my politics, tell me I am clipping my cats nails incorrectly, or voicing your disgust at my stinky breath, we have the right to voice our opinions about the circle jerk going on upon the SDMB stage.

See how that works? Wonderful thing. Wouldn’t it be great if you could remember that. :rolleyes:

132

A mistake I learned from. See, I’d rather get attention for being intelligent and/or funny, not being a complete dumbass attention whore. We all like attention - it’s just how you get it.

As has been posted previously by myself and jarbaby, once you get a reputation as a fluffy/flirty person, it’s hard to shed. Obviously, based on your comment.

133

hardygrrrl, we are all multifaceted, just like you.

Everyone else: There are a lot of personal attacks in this thread. And people are acting very judgemental. I don’t understand why everyone is getting so hysterical. Is this really that important? Because if keeping an internet messageboard lily-white is so important to you, that you insult people that you have agreed to “not be a jerk” to, then flirt threads are the least of your problems.

134

lola,
Just my objective opinion: this thread is based on one negative comment about the pervasive flirting. If I had to guess, it is the pervasiveness that annoys, not just the presence of a flirt or two. All things in moderation. Personally, I’d neither want to be a teetotaler nor a drunk.

If the flirts want to be free to do their thing; that same right would extend to people who are critical of the behavior. It goes both ways.

hardy,
Maybe I came across too strong. I’ll look for the funny, intelligent hardy and try to forget about the attention whore. But… you may not want to be too quick to jump on someone else.

Cosmetic surgery is a personal decision, but one that can be difficult to make. I don’t see the harm in wanting objective opinions.

135

That is more of a question, then a comment or discussion. But, I digress:

Black.

What is your favorite soup?

136

I don’t like the flirt threads either. The stench of desperation pervades the entire thread. I honestly don’t know why anyone would flirt with someone they barely know. It also seems pertty darn creepy to me.

But by all means, feel free to post in these kinds of threads, but don’t be surprised if people think you’re all pathetic attention whores.

137

Have you ever told anyone to be themselves and not care what other people think?

Has anyone ever tried to guilt you into being someone you aren’t because ‘people will think…’?

On a board filled with such intelligent, friendly people, I’ve been amazed at how many posters I once respected and admired have resorted to ‘don’t be suprised if people think…’ as their bottom line argument in this discussion. You are free to agree or disagree with me, but if you stop being who you to get ‘people’ to approve of you, you’re the one that’s pathetic.

138

You know that is probably the most intellegent comment I’ve heard in this whole thread. We all (myself inclided) sound like a bunch of silly old hens. If you don’t like me, oh well Iam not going to lose sleep over it. If you bust into a thread and make rude comments, people are probably going to be rude right back but I am not going to change who I am over what a bunch of strangers think. Just be yourself.

My favorite soup is New England Clam Chower. What’s your favorite desert?

139

A bit of a broad brush statement. All X are Y statements hardly are ever correct. For instance, in this thread, I sound more like an angry teen-aged platpus.

Cheesecake with fresh raspberries.

Someone decides they will give you a brand new car, for free. No strings. What do you get?

140

Do you run around with your fly open, with your dick hanging out of your trousers? Of course you don’t! Because you do care about what other people think.

If you really didn’t care what other people thought of you, you’d do all sorts of stuff. But you don’t. (Or I hope you don’t!) Because…well, I’m not too sure why…someone smarter than I would have to explain that.

To me, those threads are like walking around with your fly open! I just want to pop in and say “Yes, your dick is very big, now could you please put it back in your pants now. Thanks.”

Please, go right ahead and post those kinds of threads. It’s no skin off my teeth. But could you at least label them as “sex thread” or “flirt thread” or “look at my dick thread”? Everyone’s entitled to their opinion. And I’m free to say to myself “attention whore” and roll my eyes, just as you’re free to think “pathetic syncophant” and roll your eyes at me. But a lot of people feel the same way I do.

And anyways, if you really didn’t care about what I thought, you wouldn’t have responded to my post. And if no one else cared, this thread wouldn’t be three pages long. :slight_smile:
