Whitetho - Someone whose name I’ve seen here but have had no real interraction with (read: Has nothing worth commenting on) has suddenly came to my attention.
First, he felt the need to “out” Libby and myself as a partner. There is a thread devoted to, not only this act, but the decidedly unfunny jab at our “enevitable break-up.” Gotta tell ya - seeing someone I barely know exists telling me about how a relationship that has yet to start is gonna end is really fun.
Then, on Santa’s thread, he TRIES to out Zette as the jolly one. Even though she previously outed herself, he makes himself look like he’s letting in everyone in on a grand secret.
Well, who the fuck are you, Whitetho? What crawled up your insensitive ass that makes you feel the only contribution to this board you can make is as a gossip monger?
Could your lack of a life mean that you have to live through others vicariously? Do you generally suck the life out of conversations, and the fun out of a good joke by ruining the punch-line to show all how goddamn smart and well-informed you are?
Well, I say you’re a fucking computer-geek with way too much time on your hands. I mean, you live in CARY, which says a lot, really.
Be gone with you, master detective. You must get your jollies going up to the mall and removing Santa’s beard while kids cry, and eating Rabbit Stew on Easter.
It was said elsewhere, and it bears repeating: Fuck you.
The difference, of course, being that you chose to share the details of your personal life, whereas Brian and I did not share such details with the people who chose to pass judgment. I guarantee you that most people who know the details of how Brian and I are together have the utmost confidence in us. You, on the other hand, are still a child, one who calls herself a slut and was afraid to tell her mother than she got engaged. Can you blame us for not having much hope in your future, given that we realize how much you’ll change in the next few years?
Btw, you may want to adjust a little–your insecurities are showing.
Regardless of whether or not I told people about my life (and I haven’t shared nearly as much as Brian) it still hurts to have people who don’t even know me or Carl saying disparaging things like “it’ll only last a year.”
I have faith in my relationship; I know that it’s right. But that doesn’t make me immune to the hurtful comments of others who don’t share my feelings.
Well, I don’t really know either of you, and it’s not my place to have an opinion on your relationship. I do wish you well, however.
Actually, I was not the one who gave myself that nickname. The entire reason that I started that thread was not to argue about whether my actions were moral (though that’s what it becaome), but to vent about what I feel is an unfair pressue on teenage girls to become instantly monogamous. I still don’t think that is healthy behavior for teenage girls.
You’d be afraid to tell my mother, too. Why shouldn’t I have worried? She doesn’t like Carl very much, and she has complete and total control over my life. If she had decided that she didn’t like my engagement, I could have very easily ended up on the streets. I think you overestimate the maturity of my mother.
Why do you seem to have it in for me, Drain Bead? Have I offended you by being who I am? Why must you take every opportunity to trash me?
Satan, whiteho sounds like a total dick. If you want to talk about your personal life publicly, that’s great–you expect, even solicit, comments. But when you don’t bring it up, and someone “outs” you . . . that’s just begging to be bitch-slapped.
Power, brother. May your personal life remain personal.
Zette, I’m not defending or slamming anyone (mostly b/c I don’t give a shit), but Drain kinda brought Cess into it. That said, I think Cess’ apology is admirable.

Satan and Bead-
I do want to start off by wishing you two the best of luck. It will take work but it is all worth it. And I do think Whiteho is an ass for saying it wouldn’t last.
But just to play devils advocate, didn’t you create a public persona by sharing so much on this board? And as such couldn’t you expect to know that you would eventually be exposed?
Satan, you have made your life a part of the public domain it’s kinda hard to get mad when it remains there. DB, your life really isn’t too big of a secret to most of us either. I know where you live and work, your first name, your major, etc.
that all said, you should be allowed your anonymity and it sucks that you weren’t allowed to tell us all in your own way.

Satan and Drain Bead: First off, congrats on finding each other as possible/probably soul mates; may life contain the best of all things for the two of you.
Whitetho: Listen, if you’ve got this bizzarre fetish to out people and show off intimate knowledge of their personal lives, why not stay down here in the Pit, and help blow the whistle on the multiplying hordes of trolls. I mean, fer chrissakes, I figured out that Anomaly22 is Mark Serlin (or at least a friend of his) just by being on the right thread at the right time. A brilliant Sherlock like you- who knows how many C#3s you could expose?
So just stay in the Pit, white ho, you can flame all you want, detect all you want, and we just might not consider you an asshole. Maybe.

Die, Prentiss, Die! You will never have a more glorious opportunity!
Umm, yeah, good point, maybe you should read that yourself.
I like ya guys, and I am sure you will have great fun together and a good relationship, but you totally are overreacting here.
If you didn’t want people to talk about your relationship, maybe you shouldn’t have been so wink wink, ha ha in that thread. Maybe you should have said, look this is personal, and I am not talking about it. Sorry.
But, no, you had to put stuff like this in.
Funny stuff, I agree, but it just invites people to guess. As that is what people do. Just read the Flora McFlimsey thread.
You brought it on yourself. If you didn’t want jokes, you should have made it clear it was off bounds. Everything else Satan has talked about in the past has been an open and invited target. whiteho made a joke. Not a real funny one, but a joke nonetheless. He probably should have put it in the wiseacres thread.
Jesus, are you this insecure about the relationship that you have to bring up a shit storm about it?
To paraphrase Principal Skinner “Prove him wrong kids, Prove him wrong”
Oh, and I liked his post in the Sana Thread it was a funny retelling of the parental mall santa myth, not a dodge to take credit for the zette santa outing.
Pat, you know I like you. And if you’d go to chat again, you would have understood that my motivations for posting that “who’s the lucky girl” line was to take attention away from me, because I knew a lot of people knew, but not all of them realized I didn’t want it out yet. That was enough of a hint, I figured. I suppose not.
Frankly, I’m not insecure at all. But I’ve made the mistake of being too open about my personal life, and I see what this board can do with it, and I don’t want that to happen. Unfortunately, I wasn’t given that choice. That’s what this is all about.
Yeah, the insecure comment was a cheap shot, I didn’t think you were insecure, I just couldn’t understand why you were so angry about his post. I guess looking at it in terms of the last sentence it does make sense. Sorry, I butted in.
My last comment still stands, though. I enjoyed his post in the ho ho ho thread.
Whitetho lives in Cary?? I used to live in Raleigh and anyone from the lame-ass cookie-cutter town of Cary can kiss my ass!! (Hey, it’s the Pit, okay?)
Anyway, he’s a shit for doing what he did, Satan and DB. That’s my worthless $.02.
