Let me just say that I feel a little like Lieutenant Kilgore from Apocalypse Now who really is almost ignorant of the chaos going on around him. All I want to do is surf.
Well I can dream…
Cecil don’t surf!
I am sorry. There were several posts in the middleish that I ended up skimming because I was in a hurry. When I came back I started a couple of pages later. I went back, but obviously not far enough.
That’s good to know. Thank you.
Btw, the “info” I posted was linked two posts above mine. I hardly went searching for it. It was the first time in the whole thread that I actually bothered to click on a link to one of RSSchen / MizGrand’s old posts. Until then I’d stayed a lurker, the way I usually am in 99% of personal revelation threads. Damn, to read in silence for days, just shaking my head in disbelief, then letting that one post finally draw me out, what was I thinking? People are right, I was a dumbass to get involved in the skanky whore’s life and thread. I mainly wanted to express that I felt bad for her kids and husband, and shouldn’t have quoted her own disgusting words back to her.
That thread was useful though. I’ll bet a LOT of people are now going to think twice before they post a bunch of personal information here.
Only if they think that at a later date, they’re going to announce that they have done, or plan to do something equally ignorant.
I don’t even know if they have to do that. I’ve long known that if you post personal information, people will use it against you if you get into a flame war with them. I once posted that I was a grandmother, and now a certain poster refers to me as “Granny” (which I consider demeaning, at least the way he uses it) whenever we clash. I wish I’d never mentioned my granddaughter here, even if I never engage him again (which I plan not to).
It amazes the hell out of me the really REALLY personal information people post about themselves on a daily basis in places like IMHO and MPSIMS. It boggles my mind.
But they didn’t link to those threads for the purpose of showing personal information about the OP. You did. You weren’t a dumbass for getting involved in the thread; you were a dumbass for stirring up shit about this person’s IRL identity.
And also suggesting ways to get in contact with a poster’s spouse’s ex-girlfriend.
You did a tad more than that. You accused me of “not giving a shit” about your granddaughter’s safety post 9/11 because I supported the war. You followed that brilliant observation by saying, in closing, “Fuck you!” Now, given that I am not accustomed to grandmothers talking this way (and to anyone familiar with your hotheadedness and posting style, this is obviously just the tip of the iceberg), it seemed ironic that such a hotheaded, foulmouthed person as you would couch herself in grandmotherly concern, hence the epithet Granny. It’s a nickname intended to parody the opposite…sort of like calling a fat man “Slim”, dontcha know? So when I call you Granny, it’s intended to highlight the incongruity between your verbal behavior and that which most people tend to think of when they think of a grandmotherly person.
And not only that, but contrary to your position here, you continued to ‘engage’ me angrily and profanely several other times after that episode.
So you see, the reality of the situation shows you to be considerably more culpable in your own plight than your words here would suggest.
To people who you find to be on the wrong side of any given issue, you can be an extraordinarily vulgar, hotheaded, spiteful and mean-spirited person. There is truly no one on this board I find as distasteful as you. Still, it doesn’t seem right to make someone wish they’d never mentioned their granddaughter, so henceforth I won’t call you Granny anymore as I’m sure other epithets will spring readily to mind.
Cheers, you old bat.
Dude.
She was talking about the way people remember personal details people let lie around on the forums, not summarizing your quarrel. Most people probably wouldn’t have read anything into it, the least probable being wanting to get back into the fray. You’re being a bit trigger happy here.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: I shave my balls. My butthole, however, is utensil free.
I’ve got X-rays that prove otherwise.
I know this isn’t GQ, but what’s the best way to clean vomit off a keyboard?
Nah…just setting the record straight. Had she not made it seem that I tagged her with that nickname upon the mere mention of her granddaughter, I probably would have let it drop.
Plus, it really hadn’t been my intention to make her regret having mentioned her granddaughter on this board (and frankly, I would never have thought she’d be so sensitive) so I wanted to let her know I’d knock it off, but I felt a certain amount of exposition was in order first.
Nothing beats the tongue, I say. And one of those thin coffee-stirring straws is really handy for sucking out the runoff between keys.
I linked to some posts to rebutt some things RSSchen was trying to lie about: her drug use, the number of people she slept with, her DUI record. I never linked to threads with identifying details about her ID with which she could be tracked. I warned her that people probably could find her with what she already put out there, which I believe is true. I certainy did not threaten her, or say I was going to call up Green Day, or whatever you insinuated you might do.
Is it against the rules to link to other threads a person posted in, in general? Or is it just a problem when you’re trying to out a person’s real life ID? I did the former but not the latter, so I don’t think I deserve being called out by you in your own defense, as in “why did I get chastised and not Rubystreak?” Because we used our links for different purposes, that’s why. And thanks so much for trying to get your shit on me. :rolleyes:
Don’t sweat it, Ruby. They’re just being deliberately obtuse. He knows exactly what he did, and why it’s different than what you did.
Sorry, but she put it out there to begin with, quibbling over who links to what and when is meaningless.
Exactly. All this shit is available for anyone with internet access to view, and any 5th grader could put the pieces together if they had a mind to. She’s the dumb-ass, not equipose. Stop being such a whiny bitch, lowbrass.
That’s what I’ve been thinking. No one forced her to post anything to start with, and you have to be living in a cave to not have heard how easy it is to get information off of the internet. This is only an issue because our host of our server here, The Chicago Reader, has concerns about litigation.
