Ibram
 

This child seems to live here . I think he is about seventeen years old . Most of the people who communicate on this site seem to be considerably older .

Does nobody worry about Ibram ? Why does a boy of his age spend so much time on internet ?

Where is your mother , where is your father , Ibram ? What are you learning at school ? Why do you spend so much time here ?

I worry about you , Ibram .

There has been a significant pause , and yet nobody has chosen to answer .

Are you afraid of facing the unacceptable ? A boy of seventeen in front of a screen through the day and the night ?

for weeks , months , and perhaps years on end ?

Where is your mother , Ibram ?

what do you care if he spends time online?

why are YOU online?

breakingnews , I am online from time to time . I know that screens can be obsessive . I am a teacher & I have four children . Whenever I come to this site , that boy Ibram is there .
As a mother , a teacher , a human being , I feel concerned about Ibram . Especially as a mother .

I worry about his meals all the time .

There are a lot worse things he could be doing ... granted, yeah, huddled in front of a computer monitor all day is not ideal, but he does not do that. I'm sure he's like the rest of us - checking the Cellar is just part of the thrice-daily check-email-check-myspace-buy-stuff-on-ebay routine.

And I can assure you that you do not need to worry about his meals. There's plenty of food to go around in this city.

And there's the ban; clearly buddug is a pure troll. Going after each of us in turn. It was fun while it lasted.

Banned? Oh well. I thought Ibram was a girl, anyways...living in a foreign country and being home-schooled? Who cares who/how long they are on the internet? Better than out in the streets!

Better he is here and not on some chat room/forum with lots of 40+ year old men wanting his hot body. :worried: Here he will learn and grow and not be asked to have sex with any of us (at least I don't think so ;) ) I welcome Ibram here for as long and as often as he wants. I always enjoy his posts, as I do most of the Dwellars.

Now, there's a few of you lot I wouldnt MIND being asked to have sex with...

That nonwithstanding, Buddug is half-right for once, I do spend way too much time online... But hey, thats just so I can talk to my girlfriend (or so I tell myself), so it's okay

Wow...that's scary.

Well done, UT.

Buddug was troll-a-licious.

(S)He was awesome! I can't wait for the next permutation. It is a wide world of fruitcake out there and the holidays are coming.

Now I can take her off ignore & read all the things which would have made me respond crazily when she was still here :)

oooooo--mind if I use that, griff?

I've no problem with that.

[edit] Ibram, sent you a private message

praise the lord. no, make that: praise the fucking lord.

Good decision, UT. Works well for both The Cellar, *and* Buddug. We don't have to listen to the raving, and (s)he can go around boasting about how the stupid Americans hate their children so much that they ban people who point out the risks. Everybody wins.

Are we sure LJ just didn't give Buddig a new user name? ;)

Novel idea! "You can stick around, but your new name is asshat."

Sorry about that. I meant "user title." But he could have given him/her a new user name, too. If "Cock" suddenly joins the board, we'll know who it is.

nipped that one in the... um... buddug

well, i hope you're happy, Ibram. you got someone banned. jeez.

oh, and marichiko, if you had a clue ....well, nevermind.

He seems to do quite well in terms of being able to present a cogent argument, unlike some other people that I could very easily name. He's not the first child we've raised.

Yes, yes, that's it, use this thread to tell me how wonderful I am!

:notworthy

Kind of backfired on old BDu, didn't it? :)

Ibram, darling, you are wonderful! :)

Mmmm, lovely ego boost, last thing I need though!

Aren't we getting ready for World Orgasm Day? I mean, I am...

Here's her family portrait:

An asshat, but thought provoking, until this latest series of Dweller stalkings. (s)he tried baiting individuals in the threads, but this starting a thread to bait each individual and try to urge us all to dump on the chosen victim, was stupid. Seems like (s)he has been reading psychology for dummies.:rolleyes:

The technique is common on certain other boards... ( AG and SC spring to mind)

For some reason I am totally dense when it comes to spotting trolls. I am such an easy target it's quite pathetic really :P

Maybe you're just more understanding Dana. When you take someone at face value you're not expecting them to turn into twits right before your very eyes.

You spelt that wrong

no, that is indeed spelt 'that'

hahahah

how should I spell twit? I didn't mean twat. Did you know that a twat over here is a vagina?

LoL Ali, it was a joke...albeit a snide one at the expense of someone who is no longer around to defend herself. I was suggesting that she was in fact a twat not a twit. Twat means the same over here but is also used as an insult. As in 'you daft twat'. Bit like calling someone a prick.

It's pronounced twot over here, even though it's still spelled twat.

That's just a bit of trivia for your day though. ;)

har! i shall remember that

Oooohhhh, that is SO unfair to these poor little trolls.

No, no, she seemed to be this kind of troll:

It's pronounced "twot" here too (rhymes with "dot.") Are you saying it's pronounced like it rhymes with "cat" in the UK, Dana?

Yup

I hate these twit for twat fights.

Can't we all just get along?

hahahahahaha very good

Dana, Aliantha & Clodfobble have already answered, but I am intrigued now.

Is it pronounced (cat) twat or (dot) twat in your part of the world?

Would this be an appropriate time to share my favourite expletive?

Twat on a brick!

We say TWUT here in Ohio. It's kind of like "WUT did you say?" Seriously though, it's more like dot.

We say it with the vowel as round as we can get it for emphasis.

We pronounce it the dot way here in Kansas.

as in twat waffle

How dare you, you've let my thread fall to number nine in Home Base!

I'm offended. Worship me more.

is it 'eye'bram or 'ibb'-ram?

we say eee-bram here in east cornflake...

Actually it is Eee-bram.

pfft

Well, I don't know about everyone else, but I just had to know that little tidbit. I just wouldn't have been satisfied in life without it. ;)
