We’re going to have to confiscate this… for …umm…testing…yeah testing!
If you think you were badly mistreated in that thread then a shrinking violet like you really doesn’t belong here, or possibly even outside your house for that matter.
. . . New to the Internets, are we?
I don’t usually come anywhere near the Pit but --------- give us a straight line like “It’s my bday today and I don’t need this shit.” and what exactly did you expect?
You guys are monsters! I didn’t realize how vicious this place was. :eek: I hope no one sees me posting this…
ETA: Can we just keep this between you and me, silenus??
Ellie303, consider yourself lucky. When I first joined here, the mods wouldn’t let me post unless I gave them my lunch money. That and the nightly indian burns almost made me pack it in.
Nope. These are the intrawebs! Everybody reads everything! 
Okaaaaaaaay. Now can somebody point me to the post where someone is a bully, or even noticeably rude, or did engineer_comp_geek wish that one into the cornfield, too?
Are you fucking kidding me?? 
There was no bullying or jerkitude in that thread. WTF. Someone is having a pissy bday.
Oh man! Now everyone will know! 
(Yeah, not seeing a lot of bullying or jerkish behavior in there. Seemed pretty tame to me for this place)
You can’t? :eek: Why, this place is a cult!! A CULT I TELLS YA!!!
Can I at least change my username? Can’t find instructions for that. My username refers to something that’s not a part of my identity anymore.
So is Mr. Switac buried in the root cellar or the rose garden?
Happy Birthday, Ellie303. It takes some getting used to here but we’re worth it, so stay.
(Feel free to close your eyes, make a wish, count to three, and blow out your candles!)
PS- you share a birthday with future president Chelsea Clinton!
I’m tempted to ask for this also, but what would people call me? They’d only end up cursing anyway…
I always hear a horse neighing in alarm for some reason when I see your name pop up, though it’s really Frau Blücher who is the focus (I’m sure no relation to you)…
That’s a good question. It used to be you contacted an admin, but all of the former admins (TubaDiva, Marley, Dex) are gone now. Can you ask a mod and have them forward the request to the appropriate person (Ed Zotti? Jerry?)
Yes. Let a mod know and we’ll send it up the food chain.
This place can be really shitty to newbies. Some people aren’t prepared for what they get here. Ellie doesn’t look like one of those one or two-hit wonders-she looked like she could’ve been a great poster once she learned the ropes.
Way to go.
ETA: I didn’t realize this had been moved to the Pit. Great, let even more people pile on.
Well, my roses did come up beautifully this year. 
It’s this special fertilizer. hard to find. They don’t make it anymore. Yeah…that’s it.
What did we do, Helena330? Did you even READ that thread? At worst, there was milder joshing than you get between co-workers.
