Post #527.

I had put some gifs in my Sig and It annoyed a few people.

I have never understood this need some posters have to be so vocal when putting people on ignore or block. If you are so fragile you need to put someone on ignore because they challenge your sensibilities, frustrate you, or bring out an unmanageable emotional response, it is probably for the best you do. But this need to share it so publicly is bonkers to me.

I also don't like this groupthink thing some of you have got going on regarding the poster you publicly proclaim to have on ignore, who lives in the subforum section and his name starts with D, but you won't actually name. Pretty schoolyardish. For the record, I don't think Derspatz would give a fuck either way.

Personally I have never ever put anyone on ignore. I enjoy reading the opinions of every fruity flavour this forum has to offer. Sure some of the opinions are enjoyable and moreish while others make you want to vomit, but it is the combination of all those mental flavours that make a forum fun in my opinion.

Let's face it. The majority of the "YOU'RE BLOCKED" squawkers in here, go to all the trouble to put you on block only to peek and respond to your posts anyway! Ha! If I had a dollar for every twit in here who dramatically proclaimed to have me on block, only to respond to me later, I would have enough money to buy the interweb and kick you all out!

I actually love the way that you respond when people say they are blocking you. Very funny stuff;)

My point when I started the whole convo was that I do not block people just because they post stuff that makes my blood boil, I'll either skim or read (and walk away feeling angry), but never block. TBH the "D" things was meant as a joke (beetle juice LOL), but to you it came of as childish which is cool that is your opinion. Over the last 7-8 months or so I've had fun posting/reading this thread and am not afraid to have a laugh every now and then. Now I take offense to this group think statement, Derspatz has in the past put a lot of people off with certain comments he made about sexuality and rape, obviously that is going to upset many people and makes us have a similar opinion of him.

Well said could not agree more!

What sort of mental defective goes to all the trouble to screenshot they are putting you on block rather than just using their words and either engaging with you to find middle ground or just scroll past your post if they think you speak shit?!

I wasn't talking about your initial comment regarding the D thing to be honest, I was talking about fall out which involved a gaggle of people who chimed in to make it a groupthink/guesswho situation, where you get to point and mock.

Don't get me wrong, I completely understand people taking offence to Derspatz's opinion, and I admire it when posters defend their beliefs when opposing his opinion (Eliza and Jam always do it brilliantly). Oh and just to be clear, I don't at all have a problem with a group sharing an opinion that is the same, but I am not a fan of, we will publicly point to where he sits, we will give hints on what his name starts with, we will share we don't like him, but we won't say his name. I find it a bit Meangirlsish. It has happened to me a few times, where a group will talk about me openly in a thread, without saying my name and talk about what a bully I am or what a cunt I am, and while I don't give them the satisfaction of responding, it doesn't feel nice when I read it. I would rather you say it to me directly. Just my opinion, which of course doesn't make it right.

While I disagree passionately with 98% of Derspatz has to say, I respect his right to say it. He is the equivalent to forum herpes, once you get past the initial shock, the despair and the horror, you get used to his tingle and you learn to put up with the unsightly blister - or you can just put him on block.... up to you. Ha!

You're right it was meangirlish, and I apologise for it. You made your point, I have no excuse for it.

I'd like to point out though, that I have read a post of yours in the sub forums where you have poked fun of the jade fans and their thread and how they fight about this and that while life passes them by... You didn't specify any of their names but just referred to them as one bunch and it wasn't said directly to them. So just to specify, it was fine because you made it known who you are referring to but it is not okay for the way I behaved or others who chimed in because it was childish we wouldn't say the persons name... Noted. I will make sure I refer to who I am bitching about ;)

You are comparing apples and oranges.

You will find I said exactly the same thing in the Jade Appreciation and the Housemate Antic threads so it was said directly. It is no secret that I find the prolonged adoring/stalking that goes on in both threads very strange post BB season ending, particularly when the same fights (where they fight over a housemate they don't know, with people they don't know) are still going on 10 months later while life passes them by, but that is just me and I voiced my opinion. I was speaking in a broad term. I didn't seek out one person, do everything but name them while mocking them with my forum friends for that person to see if they choose to come into the thread.

I think it is always better when bitching about a single person in a public section of a forum to name that person, as it allows them the right to reply or not reply. Otherwise keep it to PM.

As much as it pains me to say it, I actually agree 100%. And I admit it in all sincerity, that it was wrong, especially given it has happened to me before and all was clued out except for my name, which did upset me. But c'mon, we know he won't even respond with his insistence on refusing to check his notifications lol.

Ha!

Don't let him fool you. There is not one post in this entire place that doesn't get past him.
