Good morning OT Thread!

And thank you Consuela!

Perfect way for my eyeballs to start the day.

 

[Isee]

I am still 7 pages behind so hopefully this doesn't pop up too randomly

My condolences @mutleyp. Grandparents are special and wonderful members of your life and losing them as an adult can be really tough. I was with my grandma when she passed and I was so pleased I got there in time. Just remember the awesomeness and not the end. xx

@Witty Banter I get the feeling many people on here have not seen what you are talking about, so I don't think your identity is as widely known on here as you think. And to be honest even if I knew your name it wouldn't make one iota to my opinion of you based on your interactions on this forum, and how you represent yourself here.

I think you would need to go the next step and say categorically that Mutley dangled and released his stored hacked account information for any reason other than malice. There are reasons his conduct is expressly forbidden, one of them being escalation. If every fight in here becomes releasing hacked private information this site will not even function. Every single member who has conducted themself at his depth has been banned, as making exceptions sets the precedent that people can freely and deliberately release private data and not be banned. Admitting to storing and using stolen site data that was directly connected to the prolonged forum outage sets him at the lowest rung in here. He held more than me to ransom, some of whom have not returned. His signature is a veiled threat that he pulses when performing his gleeful extortions.

Please note also, that my crime at the time was telling reepbot to rephrase eating a chocolate spud, in no way involving Mutley and hardly deserving of his malicious release of hacked account information.

I wasn't aiming to get into a discussions on intent or right or wrong, because I am not trying to be judge or jury. I was just saying that I have seen a few people say the didn't see the post, and I didn't either, so your identity isn't as widely known as you may feel. Nor do I plan on trawling through pages to find it, and I doubt many other who missed it will either. I was hoping that may give you a slight sense of relief.

Mutley has personally seen to it that it is now a collective decision of the wider internet that no one offers any definitive guarantees about. You might not trawl trala's privacy incident, but the person who did it was banned and Mutley modelled his extortion attempts on what he learned from it. Mutley also used the hacked data arising directly from that incident. I respect as basic common sense that no one has released their name as a gesture of how 'OK' it is, and note that some other members extorted by Mutley have not been active since.

Candy fingers. Imagine having like fingers made of candy and whenever you would get hungry you can just nibble at your fingers. Of course the candy does grow back.

Bouncing rocks that bounce all over the place going bouncey bounce bouncey bounce.

 

[Mooseface]

are you famous, Witty?? I have no idea who you are despite it apparently being publically available information. And for the record I really can be bothered trawling through this website to try and find out. Unless you are famous...??

Not famous, but I do have an unauthorised publicist.

 

[Columbo]

Is anyone here famous? (apart from big brother housemate accounts).

Which other members have been extorted?

 

[Witty Banter]

Which other members have been extorted?

Have you read and come up with nothing?

 

[sorceress86]

Have you read and come up with nothing?

I didn't think I had to, hence asking you the question.

 

[Connoisseur]

Has anyone seen @Connoisseur the last few weeks? He got very passionate about The Bachelor then disappeared?

Passionate? lol I wouldn’t go that far. Curiosity got the better of me and wanted to see what fans of the show were ‘discussing’ about the narcissistic extroverts who have no qualms in sacrificing their dignity to be on tv and get their fleeting minutes of z grade fame through it. And surprise surprise the same old hypocritical character assassinations along sex/gender lines that were prevalent on Big Brother were present on the bach as well.

All I did was jokingly take the piss of a bunch of women (who apparently can fall deeply in love over the same some random guy vetted by tv producers, in a short period of time no less! Forgive me for not feeling sympathy/empathy for their heartbreak as I can’t say that I relate to their emotional distress in that artificial environment) by facetiously and flippantly calling them slags, gold diggers and offer up some alternative views (less judgemental) on the bach actions and the reasons behind them. Especially because nobody was standing up for the poor misunderstood male bach, it was a blood bath and thus I felt obliged to come to his defence!

And predictably that’s all it took to be constantly labelled a misogynist for teasingly "speaking ill" of the precious lassies and one shrill half wit even went as far as to screech that I was suffering from some madonna/whore complex or some other asinine claim.

No offense but if was suffering from that, I certainly wouldn’t be doing so over the type of women who go on reality shows. The bachies can have orgies with these females for all I care, don’t mind me.

Considering this forum is frequented mostly by women I should’ve know that some of my light hearted banter aimed at female reality constetants would be misconstrued and not taken in the facetious good humoured nature that it was intended.

That's disappointing given that it should be obvious by now that I don't discriminate based on the contestants sex. I've loathed many male housemates (i.e. Ryan, Benjamin, Michael, Josh, etc..) and probably being a fan of more female ones than males (i.e. Tahan, Boogs, Estelle, Skye, etc..). So it's terribly daft to be accusing me of misogyny based just on opinions I have on reality famewhores.

Perhaps some posters aren’t accustomed to the aussie tradition of piss taking and take every playful jab seriously, who knows? Although in my defence I direct most of my more pointed piss-taking at tv characters (that includes reality contestants) and not other posters.

Anyway it was evident that my contribution to the discussion wasn’t appreciated. Also I found it a tad creepy that some (not tarring all with the same brush) posters feel so invested in these reality famewhores (definition: individuals of both sexes who crave and are willing to do anything for a bit of fame, it’s not a reference to sexual intercourse), almost to the point that they probably believe they know them/close friends/relatives, and start trolling and abusing in retaliation for dissenting comments as a way of defending their honour or what have you.

If all I wanted was to troll I’d go to forums like 4chan that are wholly dedicated to that hobbie but I’ve never really been into that as I’m interested in discussing tv shows (and actors and contestants with in it)and not childish personal flamewars so I guess there’s was little reason to come to BBB in the mean time.

I distinctly remember a poster having a go at you using stuff you’ve shared here about issues you’ve had with your colleagues and have it thrown back in your face for petty point scoring. It’s why I’m very guarded when it comes my own rl as I don’t want it to become fodder for trolls.

Conn is on bigfooty

Hmm... I thought you were done with Big Footy (you were sick of footy didn't you say?) yet there you are keeping track of me.

I'm concerned about you Conn lol. But seriously sometimes this site has periods of time where nothing much happens so i explore other sites.

I suggest you visit the Bachelorette page and see the discussions on Sam and the varying opinions on her and report back.

Completely agree (for once! lol).

That'd be me. You insufferable dick.

To be fair, I called you a misogynist on the Survivor thread, previous season, also.

Nice C.R.A.P. explanation for yourself. (That's Confident Rationalisation And Projection.) "Oh, little ole me, just joshing away, these crazy femi-nazis have no idea when a fellow is jest jokin'!"
