😡
Great. The one badass chick I find on here and somebody goes and scares her off.
🙁
Strawberry, I'm going to be e-mailing you soon, if that's OK. I'd like to share with you…my perspective on this.
Let's just say….I've had a similar experience happen to me.
August 21, 2005 at 9:39 am #11693a bParticipantaw, that sucks. i always liked reading her threads and such.
it's too bad people can get so bent out of shape. or that other people do the bending. why can't we all just get along?
i've always been a "why can't we all get along" type of guy myself. you know, the love you make, the love you take.
byes straub.
August 21, 2005 at 7:35 pm #11694y498yatesParticipantI's am beyond anger, beyond compliments, beyond anything you can ever comprehend!
Also, dear child, if you ever attack Shadow or his ken like yo did on your Live Journal -for fullfilling a simple request form I no less- you shall no meanings of vitriol and wrath!
Be warned and be wary!It seems odd to me that this thread has degraded to the point where mods feel the need to issue idle threats that contradict their own words within the same post!
Let it go. Let her go. Carry on my wayward forum!
August 22, 2005 at 9:31 am #11695AnonymousGuestCool… she's finally gone. What a relief!! 😆
August 22, 2005 at 5:31 pm #11696The_Pimp_NeonBlackParticipantI's am now saited and have removed my's vitriolic posts.
The other shall as a remainer to all -words are but folly and things need to be read beyond them.
Peace
The Pimp NeonBlackAugust 22, 2005 at 7:48 pm #11697Tommy DreamerParticipantHave you noticed that when someone online claims they're leaving permanently, they never really do? They sign up under another name, or keep checking in offline, but they never really leave. S. Riddick, or whatever you call yourself these days, you claim that the people who are here are just concerned about sex and jerking off. That's your opinion, and you're entitled to it. But then you FORCE pictures of yourself on here, "Oh, look, I'm getting bigger and stronger! Look at me! LOOK AT ME!", essentially, you're whoring yourself to this board.
That's why I was taking down your Karma. There, I'm admiting it. Every time I came on, I'd smite you once. Because you're whoring yourself out there. Not in the traditional sense, mind you, but this constant need for attention and admiration, got old after a while. And instead of speaking up, and saying what needs to be said, I kept quiet.
Well, since you claim to be going away, you don't have to worry, because you'll never read this message. But if not, then don't be mad at Dreamer. I'm just saying what needs to be said. You whore your pictures out here, you beg for attention, and when you don't get it, or when you get the type you don't want, you act like an asshole.
You're not acting like an asshole, you say? What do you call posting a ton of smileys just to prove a point?
All I need is a few.
This is what happens when a lurker stops lurking.
August 22, 2005 at 8:00 pm #11698Mark NewmanParticipantCome on, guys. No need to insult her on the way out. We're not a bunch of razzers and boo-birds.
Let it go.
August 22, 2005 at 8:02 pm #11699Tommy DreamerParticipantCome on, guys. No need to insult her on the way out. We're not a bunch of razzers and boo-birds.
Let it go.
This wasn't meant to insult her. This was meant to say what needed to be said, at a time when it was appropriate. Someone needed to knock her off of her high horse.
There. I'm done.
August 22, 2005 at 10:50 pm #11700AnonymousGuestPIXXIE: No one scared me off. I was bored off like I said in that other comment here…just wanted to mention that some of these guys continued to be retarded even after I posted that they were retarded (before you came to the board). I did it in an over-the-top fashion as a joke.
TOMMY: I don't know exactly how to address your comment, but I'll try to do it as gently as possible (explained later).
To say that someone posting pictures of her progress is being an attention whore is…well…it makes me think of those guys that say "I didn't rape her, she was asking for it. I mean, look at how she was dressed!" I was showing progress. I wasn't taking naked pictures of myself (even the one with the back exposed still has a shirt on), and never once did I flirt with anyone. I wasn't a tease, I wasn't a whore. I wanted to show my progress on a board where I knew people wouldn't be utterly revolted (yeah, some people already tell me I look like a man). I wanted tips, which people did give. For example, Neon Black told me to stop flexing a certain way because it was bad for my shoulders. Someone else told me I should focus more on my back for a more well-rounded look. I would sometimes ask for tips on weight lifting and protein. You said that I had a "constant need for attention and admiration" came from where, exactly? I posted in a forum where I knew people would give me tips on how to get bigger, and then I would take their critiques, good OR bad. So I wanted HELP, not attention, and I wanted constructive critiques at that, NOT admiration. If you lurked as well as you claim, you'd see that the constructive criticisms are the ones I respond so positively to. That's not admiration, that's saying that there's room for improvement and that where I'm at is less than good. Those are the comments I thrive on.
Nothing I did alluded to the idea that I wanted people to hit on me or look at me sexually. If you can honestly believe that I "FORCE pictures of yourself on here," then you are probably one of those guys that believes that other people can MAKE you mad…that you have zero control of your own emotions and reactions.
If a guy was posting pictures of his progress, would you call him a whore if he asked any possible gay guys or straight females on the board to stop hitting on him? As much as I hate to think that sexism is the culprit here, because I think that's such a cop-out, I just had to ask. What I had hoped would be that I could establish myself as I have in real-life: very tomboyish to the point that my male friends have actually said they'd feel gay if they asked me out. This would mean that I could post and not have to worry about people like you taking it the wrong way. I was honestly hoping that you guys could look past the fact that I have a set of breasts and treat me like I asked to be treated: not sexually. Notice I didn't say "respectfully." You don't have to respect me. I don't care if you respect me. I just want to be treated non-sexually, I want to be treated equally. You don't hit on the guys on this board, do you? You don't call them whores, do you? You have your picture in your avatar, does that mean people should call you a whore? You tell me that I'm a whore because I posted non-sexual pictures. Do you know what a whore is? You say I'm not one in the "traditional sense," but you ignore that I'm not one in any sense. How is a picture of my flexing with my shirt on whorish? How is me asking people to not hit on me whorish? Again, this seems like it's just because I'm a woman and I don't want to give you the time of day. Throughout my short time on this planet, I've noticed something very, very strange: when a girl refuses to put out or accept advances, the rejected guy calls her a whore. You know, because NOT responding sexually makes you one who freely gives out sex, right? It's like calling someone a bitch or a cunt. They're just words that you say to women if you don't like them, and unfortunately for the guys that say them to me, I know better so I'm not offended. I know that you're lashing out for your own personal reasons that have zip to do with me, so the only thing I feel is pity that something in your life is bugging you so much that you have to send insults to a completely random stranger. That you have to follow this person around and smite her every single time you log on. You see that as knocking me off my high horse (why did you make that your personal mission? I'm just some whore online, remember? Why worry about trying to knock me off a high horse at all?), but can't you also see that as incredibly petty? You're a full-grown adult male following around some moron on the internet to smite her because you have made it your personal mission to smite someone who has already said she didn't care because she thought it was funny that someone was so petty.
You don't even READ what I say enough to even presume that I have a high horse, that's the classic part. You say you hate me and smite me for stuff I've said, but I haven't said/acted remotely close to how you describe, so I really want to know where you got these ideas…they weren't from me, I can guarantee that. The true irony was in your last post, saying that someone had to knock me off my high horse. The reason it's ironic is that you claim to be reading what I write, but you really aren't or else you'd have seen many times that I'm not a prideful person. I've said it. Hell, I even made a board for people to flame me and I invited all of you to come and post because flame wars are funny to me because it's sad that there are people out there that do take them seriously. I have no idea where you got that I was perched atop some kind of high horse (sexism again? Assuming that all women think they're higher or not deserving of being treated in a non-special way? This "don't sexualize me" thing doesn't apply because you dudes don't sexualize each other here and all I was asking was to be treated the same). Anyone who thinks I'm an arrogant person is just mad at me for unrelated reasons. I've made mock-ego comments, about being a "golden god," which is so outrageous that everyone that's ever heard/read it just laughs at me because I'm no golden anything.
It's so sad…it's honestly sad that you think that you're hurting me in some way, but even sadder that you feel the need to do this. There are so many questions I have going through my head right now, most of which revolving around your relationship with your mom or possibly a mean older sister. It's absolutely mind-blowing that you would say any of these things because none of them apply.
Clothes on + no flirt = not whoring.
Me saying "I'm not prideful" + comments alluding to no pride = no high horseThose are the only things you commented on and accused me of: things that don't even apply. Wait, no, there was a 3rd thing you tried to say: "Have you noticed that when someone online claims they're leaving permanently, they never really do?" It's funny, because I already addressed that: "I will probably check back here…" I hope you were speaking generally and not trying to take a shot at me with that comment, because that would prove that you're just mad at me without reading what I say (and since this is a forum, and reading is all you HAVE, you look really silly).
The reason this response is so long is because I truly do feel bad for you and wanted this post to not be something quick and sarcastic…and by "feel bad" I mean that I hope you the best and if you want to email me and unload your problems I'm willing to listen, not the "Oh, I pity you, you are such a loser" kind of feel bad. This honestly raised some flags in my head that say "Look, look, be easy on the guy. He obviously has some issues here that he's not talking about. Don't be mean about it, just address them in a way that he sees how silly his comments were and maybe he'll end up dealing with his problems." I know that by even saying that, you might get mad and I apologize. I just wanted to put it out there, that I realize that there are deeper issues here because nothing you said applies at all. It sounds like you were hurt by someone in the past and are lashing out at me because you didn't get to lash out at her. Maybe I said something that reminded you of her, so you assumed that I must be like her, and named two things she was guilty of (attention whore and arrogant twat), and are getting mad at me because she's not here to yell at. Maybe you didn't want to yell at her, and you're only telling me because I'm online.
I know full well that this whole thing might rub you the wrong way because you may read it as me trying to be all arrogant or something. Well, don't read it that way. Don't assume my personality when you can't see my expressions or hear the inflection in my voice. All you have is what I say. Don't attribute past failed relationships to our conversation, or hate me because that tease you met the other day isn't available to be yelled at.
So, to recap, I don't know what your problem is, but it sure isn't with me because all the stuff you listed doesn't apply. Also, it *really* isn't with me because someone saying stupid crap online isn't enough of a reason to be SO petty that you find her posts and smite her EVERY TIME you log on. There are other issues, there's something you're not telling us. You don't even have to tell us, I don't care. I don't care if you go on and on about how I'm trying to be a pseudo intellectual, or how I don't have a medical degree so I can't assess you or anything like that. If you want to keep putting up a front, then do so. And if you want to keep hurling non-applicable insults my way, feel free. Here, since you enjoy it so much, I will openly invite you to email me: strawberryriddick@gmail.com or if you prefer that it is a public insult, then you can use this or my livejournal (livejournal.com/users/abortdave). I don't know how many times I've told people to do this, so don't feel special or like I'm trying to make you feel silly (you don't need me for that anyway).
MARK: Well, no, not all of you. Not most of you. If it's what they want to do, it's what they want to do. I know you don't want it on the forum, but if you don't want it here because it sounds mean to me, then don't worry about protecting me. Remember, I've already invited them to come insult me…that's the truly hilarious part. I've INVITED them to insult me, and they accuse me of thinking I'm special and don't deserve insults. You see why I say I laugh at flames? I appreciate your comment, but at the same time, I don't need it.
August 22, 2005 at 11:00 pm #11701AnonymousGuestHoly crap, sorry, sorry. I know how much we all hate double-posts, but I HAD to. I reeeeaaaaaaalllllly want to apologize for how long that last one was. If Tommy had his email address available, I would have mailed it to him. Sorry, sorry. Unintentional. Sorry.
