What Coldy said !
Damn, Hastur. Why did you have to follow that wonderfully pithy concise word image with such pettiness?
While the first paragraph merits a 9.5, unfortunately, the unnecessary 2d paragraph results in a loss of 7, resulting in a net rant rating of 2.5.
A pox on all of you for forgetting that the sole purpose of this thread is to flame techchick!
BTW, <Eddie Haskell voice on>
You are looking especially lovely today hama.

I liked it better when he just used a smilie.
dropzone yawns and stretches while looking around the room in surprise
You people still here? I’m going back to bed.
checks off note in book, “don’t bait Hama”
::hands Hama a cigarette and lights it::
So, babe, I’ve got this guy I want flamed. Care to be known as my agent of Karma? You’d be soooooooo good at it. Especially now that you’re all warmed up.
Hammy wasn’t torching Techie (well not too badly), she is just calling the shit as she sees it. Which seems to be pretty darned clearly.
Have another beer Techie, it goes well with your meds.
Hammy, that was fucking perfect…
I (for once) have nothing to ad. (except that I find aenea’s zinger to be the most concise flame I have seen in ages.
Oh and Hastur, where can we get prozac lozenges? and does anyone have TC’s home address? 
techchick68:
I don’t know you and you don’t know me. However, I’ve read enough of threads started by you to form an image of your persona in my mind.
This isn’t exactly a flame, but feel free to cast it up to me a million times after you read it, if it’ll make you feel any better. I’ll defend myself against any acidic remarks made by you, but it won’t hurt my self-image.
That said, in some ways, I can almost identify with you. But you see, you need to learn something I learned a long time ago: no matter what happens, life goes on. It’s an incredibly grim way to look at things sometimes, but it’s the truth. You need to let things go; do past disagreements really define your life? From what I’ve seen of you, they do, and it’s self-destructive and unnecessary. You don’t just bring yourself down when you do this; you bring your friends, and the people that don’t know you but want to understand you, down. Maybe you shouldn’t always care what other people think, but you know you’re not the only person in the world, there are other people here as well, and you have to deal with them day-to-day.
I don’t mean this as any kind of flame, it’s not meant to hurt your feelings. I don’t think it’s going to help, but damn it, it’s my opinion, for what it’s worth.
Oh Hastur I wuv-u too.
But I think peace would be better served if we all just followed the gracious words of the renowned civil rights activist Rodney King, "Can’t we all just get along?
note to self; stay on Hama’s good side
My only response to the majority of people that responded to this thread is, it’s amazing the venom that many of you shoot. To the rest of you thank you for your honest opinions, and not for flaming me. A little honesty is better than a whip and a knife on the face.
I didn’t attack one of you personally. I made a generalization of some of the things I have seen in here lately, for the most part. Yes there have been some bad feelings here, but after this thread…I did, however, point out a fact earlier on.
I can’t be totally at fault at the carnage that happens here. I started a bitch with no flaming of anyone specific, but I would hope that in real life those of you that get off putting people down in here, like you have in this thread and others, don’t do the same in life.
Yes I did get a little pissed, I only pointed out my frustrations and many of you had to make it a big deal. That’s fine. The Pit is notorious for it’s ass flaming.
I feel sorry for those that feel I am a drama queen or that I start these threads to gain sympathy, as I don’t. I have been on these boards for over a year now and only lately does it seem that people like to take a simple bitch and turn it into a kick ass fest, you have shown what kind of people some of you can be. I have been a little on edge but that does not excuse some of the behavior I have seen in recent weeks.
I can’t think of anyone in the latest of any of my threads where I have come out with boxing gloves on to begin with. Some of you would rather come out with your fists up and ready to fight over the most petty bullshit it makes me ill. I will come back and defend myself if I feel I need to, that’s life, I do that in real life too.
I will state and have stated before, The Pit is not/should not be just about flaming the OP for the sake of flaming, which in my eyes seems to happen more than not and this runs along the lines of other Pit threads as well, especially when it’s a thread about crappy bitches. It can be a good place to get shit off your chest, I have done it before without more than an agreement, give or take six months ago. If you choose to flame every Tom, Dick and Harry for every whine or bitch that comes along then I surely hope you rethink your interactions the rest of your board interactions. There is more to life than picking apart a Pit thread and making the OP look like they are less than a maggot.
If it’s something worthy to get on the OPs ass like a bitch about a member, you want your voice known then it’s warranted. But getting on someone’s ass over petty shit, that’s out there folks.
Like I said I realize I have a lot to bitch about, I have apologized for that. I probably have less to bitch about than the poor woman whose husband left her with no place to live, no money, two kids, etc…but some of you amaze me, you really do.
I don’t want your sympathy. For those on this board I have made friends with, I care about you, I want you in my life as you mean a lot to me…but it’s the people that seem to flame for the sake of flaming, I am frustrated as I get flamed for petty shit. I can’t believe the depths with which some are willing to go and get on another members ass.
I have seen people shoot down other people in message boards, in chat rooms and the like all over the 'net but because there are so many intertwining relationships on the SD I have also seen some of the worst come out of people in here.
I pray and hope that from the way some of you have treated me and many others in here that you think twice about why you do it.
Hey, this is not just about me, it’s about a lot of other people on this board. We have lost a lot of good posters, who like me, do more than post Pit threads. I may not have any cosmic contributions but I would like to think that I do contribute in a fun way elsewhere.
So, that’s my comment on this thread.
If you choose to rip me another asshole then I ask you to reread this post and realize that I am frustrated with how some of you treat others. My world does not revolve around you, your world does not revolve around me, some of you are less than a bug to me but don’t go and flame because you feel the need to do so for the sake of flaming. In my eyes that’s pretty juvenile.
I have not brought up a specific person in this post so if you think it’s pointing at you then you need to think twice about how you go about your life.
BTW,
Coldfire and Falcon,
I do take what you say to heart. That is what I am talking about…taking the higher road and explaining to me certain things.
Sometimes I am not good at listening to them but I do appreciate what you have said.
Drop…you will be getting an email from me soon.
Esprix, you are my favorite gay guy…you really are. Thanks for your understanding.
I hate looking like what some of these people think I am trying to convey, but I am just frustrated and want to get this out.
I love the SD and don’t want to give it all up over a few people that feel the need to flame me over small shit, but it does bother me as I have made many friends on here.
I just want to know what felching is. I have a feeling it is something I shouldn’t look up at work (where I am usually when I’m here).
Also I would agree with Falcon about agreeing with people sometimes and disagreeing with them other times.
For example I think Coldfire was dead on the mark here but it’s quite obvious that I disagree with him elsewhere (vehemently and insultingly so.).
Hell juse because you agree with someone does not mean you have to like them, or disagreeing with someone is no good reason to doubt their charachter. I think that the minute you start getting worried about something someone on the internet says to you or about you or about your opinions you are showing major signs of “Getalifitis”. Go outdoors, rent a porno, do something else for a week.
Tech, you know I love you but this, above, is true. You are getting down right predictable in your posts. You bitch (which is fine) you get posts you don’t like (big fucking surprise in the Pit) and then you whine about how not everyone supports your whining! This is silly! Stop it already!
And really, I’m on board with Hama. You get so wrapped up in yourself that you can’t get beyond your own navel. This reminds me of the Silo thing. I told you I didn’t like him and wouldn’t talk to him in chat or on the board and you cut me for it. Then you forgave me for it. Just accept the fact that not everyone is going to agree with you 100% all the time.
The Pit isn’t just about flaming the OP. The Pit is the one place where we posters don’t have to pull our punches. We have the right and space to tell it like it is in here. And honestly, to tell you like it is, you are acting like a child. You whine and cry and draw attention to yourself and are then “shocked” when you get “bad” attention. Realize, this is the Pit. You are going to get attention in here. Sometimes it’s good attention, sometimes it’s bad. But it seems to me you just crave the attention no matter what kind it is. Frankly, don’t expect it to be “good” by virtue of how long you’ve been here or how many friends you have.
If you don’t want my sympathy than stop asking for it. Stop posting OP’s in the Pit that DEMAND my sympathy or it means I hate you. You place me in a terrible position; do I tell the truth of what I feel or do I coddle you? For one shining moment see it from outside you; can’t you see the position you place other posters in? Posters who consider you a friend like I do? You force me to choose between being honest and being “false nice” just because I don’t want to hurt you.
Again, no, I don’t want to hurt you, but I’m not going to lie; you are acting silly and strange and are getting exactly what you asked for. Stop being so surprised when you get exactly what you asked for.
From Byz:
I never said that I never said anything to that degree, but Byz, ah shit it’s useless, I have tried my damnedest to make my point and my point is obviously not coming across as I intended.
I don’t want to “win” but I sure as hell have been trying to bring across a point, and apparently my skills in doing so are lacking.
What can I say, I have tried to bring up a valid point that happens quite often in the SD and it is not either received well or I have not conveyed my thoughts properly. I would like to think the latter.
Tell you what, you all won, you pegged me, you got me, you all won.
So here’s a clap and an applause for some of you, you know me too well.
Well don’t go off in a huff before telling me what felching is. I have heard/read this word before but no one have ever explained it to me. I know it’s supposed to be a naughty thing, but what the hell is it?
Felching is when you suck sperm from someone’s ass. It is similar to what techchick is asking for, but instead of sucking, she’d just like you to kiss it and make it all better.
Read at home, and at your own risk.
Sunk to the lowest of lows Mr. Hastur…you really are a vile peice of shit.
I am done, ask Tubadiva I already emailed her…I am done with you folk.
So many of you have no sense of decency, you drew the line “Hastur” You drew it, you gave me more reason than ever to leave this fucking place…you single handedly cemented that I will not come back…bullshit like this was exactly what I was talking about.
God, some of you people need to get your heads out of your asses and know that my thread was never meant to hurt nor harm anyone.
God, FUCK you all.
