Have you even read some of the other train wrecks of threads she’s been in/fouled up? This isn’t a pile-on where no one’s previously dared expressed their opinions of her “me first, I’m so important and those who don’t agree with me are sooooo bourgeois/repressive” attitudes, until it finally came to the Pit; most of her more outrageous statements have been met with comments back all along.
JRDelirious: I hooted. I laughed out loud. Scared the dog even. 
Babs: That was brilliant. Lordamercy. Even down to the “headlines” comment. I bow to your superior ability for satire.
Good morning, my adoring (m)asses! How I love thee!
<stands on balcony throwing kisses above cheering crowds, confetti flying all about>
Good morning to you, too. You are the ray of sunshine that illumines my bourgeois office. When I figure out how to live at someone else’s expense, I wanna be just like you!

How do people this dumb survive!?!?!?!
You have multiple asses?!?! :eek:
Isn’t it obvious? There’s just so much ass there.
I move to have Suspenderzzz’s “Member” status changed to “Survivor”. Because clearly, it has weathered the storm of bourgeois oppression, and has become a hero that we can all model our lives after.
Here’s what I don’t get. : pulling out soapbox : What, exactly, is wrong with the pile-on? If a member of a society acts in a manner which that society does not like, why can’t that society react in a cruel (and I think that word is a stretch) way? It’s like Natural Selection in cyberspace. I don’t think it makes people any less adult or respectable if they participate in a pile-on… on the contrary, I actually think it should be encouraged. How else are the idiots and assholes supposed to know that their behavior isn’t liked? The pile-on is a pretty powerful message. Totally ignoring someone is the best way to go about it, but I think we’ve established that technique is never going to be used here.
This made all weepy, because it is so true.
Oh, to so oppressed, and yet survive.
And I know how much she has wanted to be regarded as a Hero.
Suspenderzzz, they just don’t only hold your pants up, but your hopes and spirits as well.
Why is it that my post asking for clarification of an official rule - as per a statement in this thread - has received comment only from one “junior mod”? The mods have passed it over.
I believe I am the victim of a vendetta by the mods. (“OK, here’s the plan, guys … we’ll ignore all his questions…hehehe”).
But seriously, I’d appreciate a ruling. I not going to sending a lot of emails to mods, but on rare ocaisions I’ll ask for an edit to a post or thread title etc. As not all the mods are available at any given time, it might be helpful to use the function.
I know that Trisky didn’t mean to put an annoying song in my head, but it’s there now, so y’all must suffer too.
*I started a thread, which started the whole board pitting
But I didn’t see that the pit was on me.
I started to cry, which started the whole board laughing
Oh, if I’d only seen that the pit was on me
I looked at the skies, running my hands over my eyes
And I fell out of bed, hurting my head from things that I’d said
Til I finally shut up, which started the whole thread dying
Oh, if I’d only seen that the pit was on me*

And if we stay silent, it’ll be sending Rosa Parks to the back of the bus. Indeed, we have, according to Suspenderzzz herself, the moral duty to speak up if we’re offended.
Oh, wait, that’s just her. She has the moral duty to speak up if she’s offended. The rest of us only demonstrate our insecurities when we do. Right. Got it now.
Seriously, I agree with flyboy88–I think the pileon (in general, not just this specific one) serves an important function. If someone is behaving unacceptably, we can each of us sit in front of our computers and think, “damn, that person is annoying” but never know if it’s just them, and the situation never improves. This happened on another board I frequent, where a poster was annoying the crap out of me, but the board is a very polite one, and no one would say anything. When I snapped, and flamed the bastard, I felt guilty for being the one person who couldn’t stand this person. Turns out, the whole board was grinding their teeth over him. It made the board an unpleasant place. When the pileon (extremely mild by SDMB standards) finally happened, it was very theraputic, as well as making it clear to the poster in question that it wasn’t just one or two people who were upset with his behavior. The result–he improved, and that board is peaceful again. The other possibility was, of course, that he would flame out spectacularly and get banned. Either way, it did the job.
Not all pileons are deserved, but that’s generally sorted out as things go on–opposing views get aired, and the issue gets thrashed out. No, they’re not pleasant, but they do perform a function.
Although I’m trying really really hard, I fail to be properly devastated. You people are barking up the wrong tree. I don’t expect you to understand this, but you have no idea how most of these supposedly scathing postings you are so proud of, actually compliment me. This shit is addictive, give me more!
BTW, here’s a little contest all you little puppets and me-too’ers can conduct to help alleviate the apparent emptiness in your lives: Let’s see who’s the first one to come up with something that really crushes me. Enjoy!
No.
DNFTT.
Dear, we do understand. What you don’t understand is that you are basically operating on the maturity level of a five year old peeing on the rug because he thinks he needs more attention. When he gets sent to his room, or spanked, it’s not because he’s scored any sort of moral victory–it’s because peeing on the rug is nasty. He isn’t some non-conformist showing his superiority to his puppet and me-tooer parents. On the contrary, he is completely deficient of the intellectual and moral ability to solve his problem in a less infantile way.
You, sweetheart, are like the aggrieved five year old boy convincing himself he’s really showed them! Of course, he’s got an advantage–he has a chance to grow up and realize how infantile and self-centered that kind of behavior really is. At your age, I guess there’s still hope, but it seems to be fading fast.
Re: pile-ons …
It’s one of those irregular verbs, isn’t it? Or part of one.
“I constructively criticize, you’re mean, he joins in a pile-on.”
Heads up everyone. Suspenderzzz is giving us her very own DNFTT warning.
