> [@Shot\_From\_Guns](#): > > It’s something my little brother and I used to say to piss off our dad. Whenever he’d start getting irrationally angry, we’d ask him if he’d like a juice box. Which just pissed him off more, because he knew he was being childish and that we knew he was being childish. Didn’t help much, but it made \*us \*feel better. Huh. And here I thought it was in reference to the pit thread telling Dio to go take a nap. Ya know, “Oh, go take a nap”. Or “Oh, go get your bottle/juice box”. “[SDMB poster], go have your diaper changed”, would be a good next one for someone to use. ---

I’m sure it was in the back of my head, too, that made me think of that particular way of phrasing it. Doesn’t hurt that \*\*Una \*\*was pretty much throwing a tantrum. ---

> [@the lone cashew](#): > > Great story. Is Henry gonna eventually beat up Una Person or Shot From Guns? Oh, I get it. Una Person or Shot From Guns is represented in the story by the society broad - rich, educated, nice body, nice face, nice clothes. But then in the end she turned out to be a shallow materialistically cheap slutty bitch. > > So which one is she? Una Person or Shot From Guns? I’m sorry it takes me so long to get back sometimes. The answer is neither. **SFG** is the one picking the metaphorical fight; she’s Chinaski. So **Una** is Hemmingway. The 'Dope itself- all of us- is the society broad, as victory in this fight is presumably going to raise **SFG** ’s profile here. Whether the society broad is a slutty bitch or not dosn’t matter. As I see it, she is just a projection of the author- something vague and poorly defined that is nonetheless the reward for success. ---

How can anyone familiar with Guns’ style take _any_ of this with any seriousness? With creative flair, she’s not just obnoxiously offensive but brags about it, revels in it, basks in it. Look at her chosen titles, for example. She not only knows she’s obnoxious but this is her ultimate quest. Anyone exposed to a good dose of her medicine should quickly become desensitized. ---

By posting crazy shit on their FB wall. Which is retarded. Right, honey. You were joking all along. It’s not like you’re such an attention whore you would think she called you her “sister in Christ” just to undermine you. You even worked that into a rant on how everybody’s being so mean to you. ---

It was a joke _at **Una** ’s expense_, but it was still a joke. And I’ve always been 100% serious about the fact that it’s a dumbass question. And when have I ever claimed that “everybody” is mean to me? The people I actually care about on this site overwhelmingly like me. I made a, single, thread about how one, single, person was a crazy stalker bitch. ---

The issue (well, one of them) is that _not_ everyone is familiar with SFG’s style, and a few posters have said in various threads that until now they’d never really noticed her. ---

The people I actually care about on this site overwhelmingly like me. I made a, single, thread about how one, single, person was a crazy stalker bitch. The thing is, you’ve gotten to the point where your parody and seriousness are indistinguishable from each other. You constantly vindicate yourself with all these assertions that you’re such a hardcore int0rnetz rebel, and that you’re like, really pop-u-larrrr, and that all you were doing was mocking Una. You keep repeating that Una’s question was stupid, but saying it over and over doesn’t earn you any halos. Not everybody gets FB references. That doesn’t make them stupid. It just means they don’t immerse themselves into it as much as you do. They might _GASP_ have actual lives outside FB. You keep portraying yourself as the victim, but it’s hard to feel sorry for you. All you do is whine and kvetch, and when you allegedly parody somebody else whining, it just doesn’t work, because it sounds just like you. And sweetheart, just so you know, you’re the one looking like a “crazy stalker bitch” with all this attention you’re giving Una. Oh, did I miss that you were referring to yourself? Got me there. ---

Oh, did I miss that you were referring to yourself? Got me there. If responding to other people who are not **Una** can be said to be giving attention to **Una**. I think I’d need a few drinks before I can make that logic leap. I think this thread was ill-advised too, but don’t pretend like this is some grand crusade. She’s just responding to arguments. If folks left this thread alone the issue _would_ die. ---

> [@Knowed\_Out](#): > > Not everybody gets FB references. That doesn’t make them stupid. It’s not. A fucking. FACEBOOK THING. That’s the entire _point_. Anybody who has spent two seconds on the internet should recognize this kind of ridiculous mockery for what it is: ridiculous mockery. The only way you could ask if it was an attempt to change Google results is if you have literally no idea how search results work (hint: they’re not affected by some dude saying on your Facebook wall that you invented tea bags). And \*\*Una \*\*being a generally clever and knowledgeable lady, that level of ignorance coming from her blew my mind. Thus, I mocked her by implying that she was somebody who didn’t understand internet humor because she doesn’t get exposed to those sorts of media much. Because, apparently, she _doesn’t_. As for your other “point,” I think \*\*BT \*\*addressed it pretty well: > [@Bosstone](#): > > If responding to other people who are not **Una** can be said to be giving attention to **Una**.
