You may be right though. I guess it depends on your perception.

My intention was to point out what my problems are with monster's posts and to a secondary degree, to ask Shawnee why her own style seems to have changed so much.

To recap though. I don't believe you have to be a bitch to be honest, so suggesting that bitchiness is honesty is bullshit in my opinion.

Ali, Just read post# 60 out-loud to yourself. Imagine her saying it and imagine any IRL person saying the same thing. Once you realize she is totally insane, you'll feel better about the lack of enthusiasm for this poll.

sky, monster is not totally insane.

I am sorry. You are right. Not 'totally'. Just M.O. I know it is MY personal perception and my problem. If people want to take a bashing, without sticking up for themselves, at the time it is happening, so be it.

Bolded is key imo also

What is insane about this? I read this post and agreed with every word. It reads like an Ayn Rand character, or lyrics to a Rush song. This resonates with me. If you think this is crazy, I can't understand how your brain works.

But I will fight such invasions until it ain't worth it, and I suspect I'm not alone, so you have your work cut out. But feel free to try.

Yes, I'm like this in real life. My time is valuable, I don't waste it on people who are intolerably dumb or irritating in my opinion. You get a couple of chances, then you get ignored and if your idiocy makes you unignorable, then I'mm'a tell you about it. And then it's done. Out of sight out of mind. You really don't know anyone like that in real life? Or you just expect the interweb to be all Snow White and Disney?

FFS look at the user name I picked. Sometimes you can judge a book by the cover if it's graphic enough.

If you can't stand the heat, you really should get out of the kitchen. If you allow your feelings to be hurt by strangers on the interwebs, then this is not the place for you. I don't expect, need or want to be liked by everyone. So "ouch, my feelings". Seems like maybe you do. This is just not a realistic outlook on life.

But I voted against me to try and give you a little emotional boost there ;) Now rub some dirt in it and man up.

who started this thread?

what does it mean? floraly wishy washy and fighting against the invasion?

....and if ignoring dumb, ignorant things are the stance then why fight said imaginary invasion? ..

It is contradictory and vague at best.

My interpretation: It means fighting against something like political correctness. The invasion would be those who wish to make the world a safe and boring place by removing the soul from it. In the name of a "good cause" of course, but ironically killing the very thing they wish to protect. Some of us have to practice forethought in order to counter these well-intentioned but reactive ideas.

I didn't find it vague or contradictory. I found it bravely up front and in your face. Monster will always say it like she feels and sees it and isn't really worried about its affect. You may not like her for it, but she doesn't care.

depending how far back you want to trace it, UT is responsible for creating the cellar, but Gore is responsible for creating the internets...

Floral (seems pretty clear), wishy-washy = watered down, watery, or dull grey like dishwater, marshmallow-post infested = again seems fairly clear to me. Full of soft, fluffy, say-nothing, sacharine sweet posts.

NOT I.

I don't work this way. I am in disagreement with it. As I said, it is a poor way to gather support. I would much appreciate it if people would take issue with her trolling at the time it is happening.

I am quite capable to getting into M's face without hiding. I seem to be alone in this.

....and the original intent of this thread just proves how much of a coward people are in regard to her. ( outside of apathy and amusement)

I have decided I will no longer stick up for people she is trolling in a thread because of this thread.

If you are going to have someones back, have someones back up front and not in secret. It loses it's sincerity.

What seriously? In all of the cellar, it's just you on your tod getting in Monster's face?

The post itself was an example of how to fight that.
