if an ilx beef threatens to take over a perfectly innocent thread you can politely direct people here.

it's not abt you.

my point was: i thought wcc was perfectly entitled to de-rail that thread, or any thread, but then to complain when the reverse happens is, imho, nagl

poor mordy, hope he's coping well with those tough consequences he caught

Wow, iatee really backing up the disingenuousness truck on that thread, beep beep!

i accept i'm talking out of turn and might regret saying this, but tbh guys, it's one thing to be hitting each other in the face with custard pie zings and god knows i love that, but when you get to the stage that somebody is clearly not dealing well with yr behaviour irl and you keep piling on and piling on then to me you're being more than a little bit dickish

and "she started it" isn't gonna cut the mustard here any more than it wd do with a bunch of bullying 8 year-olds

flag post button's there on the bottom between "Bookmark" and "Permalink"

NV OTM.

noodle vague otm but sb'ed you anyway

it's what i would've wanted

poor noodle

Mordy isn't the first person to have this happen to them, just saying.

When you have a thread already containing an apology from Mordy, it is a little late to reframe it as "happened to him".

Just rambling along the information superhighway, minding his own business.

otm

NV's statement otm as a general rule, but it sure bears only a passing resemblance to this (prolonged) instance.

all you're saying at this stage is we've now progressed to 'can't bully or target' (fair enough) through 'can't zing certain posters' (ok i guess, depending) through 'can't disagree with a certain poster' (eh?) to the proposed 'everyone is to ignore the bullshit behaviour from this poster' (cmon seriously?)

xp to dl re: otm, must missed mordy's apology to wcc

Actually no, we're right back at "can't bully or target", but in this case it's someone you don't like.

i accept i'm being inconsistent to an extent. don't feel comfortable going thru the rest on a public forum. i think people need to have a think about themselves tho.

or we're at d but it's someone you and others will cheerlead for regardless of whatever, idk perspective it's a strange one

Haha dude that is really not my relationship with WCC.

clearly not dealing well with yr behaviour irl

This is surely an issue though. I mean if someone has repeatedly shown they have issues dealing with being a part of a message board and creates drama and throws fits over and over again for YEARS then surely that is a problem that should be addressed somehow and yet it's not. I'm tired of people tiptoeing around this. :/

Errr, foret I said that. It's never going to be addressed and I don't actually have time to get into a huge discussion about it right now.

forget, rather

I will broccoli floret you said that.

i totally feel what you're saying E. some stupid drama ALWAYS comes up with this person and i sometimes want to say something but in the end i know it won't matter.

so there i said something

let's all imagine we're walking through a beautiful forest

why is this baer shitting in my forest dammit

I mean, now it's obv a countdown until someone locks this thread. I really don't know what the answer is but it's tough to sit back and see/read this shit every few months without getting frustrated. It's hard to watch someone get special treatment repeatedly because either they have lots of irl friends around the place or because people treat them with kid gloves for fear of sending them over the edge. I mean I do get it to a certain extent but it's still tough to observe esp when you've been the target of one of their episodes.

baer joeks

I have to get the bus now and I'm not sure that was entirely coherent. I haven't had enough coffee.

i agree, Mordy should be banned.

lol

more than ever we need a "love post" button

enbb otm. in a big way.

basically my thing is this; if someone is rude, dismissive, and antagonistic toward you here you should be able to tell them to buzz off without worrying that they are gonna jump off a cliff or that you are somehow contributing to the male dominant hegemonic paradigm. in a perfect world. but we don't live in a perfect world so just ignore their ass forever. figure out how to use that blocker thingy so you don't see their posts.

i've been here ten years. i've got opinions and shit. so sue me.

i knew there was an elephant somewhere in this room.

I hear that to the tune of Thin Lizzy's "Jailbreak"

tonight there's gonna be an elephant
somewhere in this room

lol

scott otm. In a big way.

button, button, who's got the button?

How are you expecting it to 'be addressed', ENBB? Should we poll the number of free shots that people she has gone after before get, before we return to "don't be a dick" as the law of the land?

don't really get why other people need opinions about these beefs.

because eventually we all have bad days, and when getting called out for voicing a reasonable opinion (or even a questionable opinion!) we might blow up and create new beef

best approach is to always ignore or walk away, but... bad days

define 'free shot'

'free shot' are what some refer to as buybacks at the bar, iirc
