PETA Recap/Summary

[lookout123]

Can someone give me a hand here?

*struggling to pull bleachers over so we can all sit and watch the scrap*

Garnet i don't know or really care what your deal is. like it has been pointed out this is the internet so take it all with a grain of salt. but before insulting people like you seem prone to do, you might want to spend a little bit of time and see maybe why someone has X amount of posts. how long did it take them to accumulate them? while you are thinking about that you may want to notice that there aren't hundreds of people posting on here every day. there are a few dozen folks that post regularly and have developed the internet version of respect for each other over the course of many discussions. each person here has a personality that the rest of us have come to know. you may want to read into a few other threads and realize that, in fact, many of these people know each other on a face to face basis and have friendships with each other that don't require typing.

so if you bother to acknowledge these facts it would be pretty easy to see why we all jumped on your shit. you show up on day one and start posting (that is a good thing, btw, welcome to the cellar) things that got somebody's craw that day. your posts were a little confrontational and this place is just full of confrontational people. so those who know eachother pretty much chewed you up and spit you out.

don't take it to heart though. hell, my first day here someone (i think it was LJ) took plenty of jabs at me. ( i still think he was just looking for an excuse ot increase his postcount). just relax and see what the cellar is all about. you may like it here. just be aware that we like to eat dead animals and pet living ones.

m'kay?

Thank you for your opinion.

Hasn't everybody been saying that name-calling is part of the game here and it's all in fun? So I just "insulted" your friend Wolf, and you're pissed about it. Try saying that instead of accusing me of being "prone" to insulting everyone. Go back and read my posts and quote where exactly I insult anyone. I believe I was called a "Fucking Asshole" on my first day of posting here--how come you didn't complain about that? You can't have it both ways.

I think a valid argument here is that animal right's activists are by and large enormously more attractive than hunters.

That's a good point. Makes me want to see pictures in everyone's profiles. C'mon everyone, what are you waiting for?

[slang]

Handsome devil, aint I?

[Carbonated_Brains]

That's an enormous hummingbird!

Damn it Slang, get away from the pole. How many times do we have to tell you, that is *not* the one that Ginger Lynn used on her road tour.

And this isn't just any Internet community, with "Internet" grade respect for the members. This is, for some of us, a damn sight closer to an Internet family, and the respect is of the same variety as any other respect. Translation? It is *earned* through effort, time and insight.

Oh...and hazing.

The humiliation of that mistake is too much to bear.

Actually, there's quite a lot of young, very good-looking women at PETA...I was actually surpprised by that when I first started working here. I can count on one hand the number of people here that are overweight. The guys aren't as good-looking, at least I don't think, which is unfortunate.

NOW we are getting somewhere--tell us more about the guys.

[Carbonated_Brains]

Any 80 year olds that can pole-vault?

Brianna has standards, after all.

[Carbonated_Brains]

Just out of curiosity garnet, and you may hate me for this, but how many PETA members are white, female, and middle-class?

Hey, can YOU pole-vault??? Now, more about the dudes. Do you know for a FACT that vegetarians taste better??

It's not that the guys are bad looking or anything, there's just not that many that are really hot. Maybe they're just not my type. There are some really beautiful women here--model material even.

no i'm not pissed. i was actually trying to point out a few things to you that make your entrance a little smoother, fuckwit. (that was just good clean humor there - no animosity intended)

and my "prone to insulting" comment was based on my own experience. your vegetarian diet may have resulted in some memory loss here, because you seem to have forgotten that your first day here i am the first one that tangled with you when you pulled your head out of your ass (also good spirited fun) just long enough to blather on about the rightousness of renaming a mountain and freeway after one dead soldier simply because she was native american.

"fucking asshole" - don't remember that one, so i couldn't have compained about it. but stick around for awhile and i think you will see that no matter how spirited a discussion gets i try not to let things get personal. we are here for an exchange of ideas and hopefully some witty banter. if we wanted abuse and disrespect we would walk away from the keyboard and talk to the people surrounding us.

as far as my comment about "internet version of respect" - i don't mean to belittle the respect we show each other. i think those that are respectful of one another in this environment are to be commended. in real life we have to be PC and say things with a smile. here we can let loose with vitriolic attacks with no consequence - so those that treat other cellarites with respect are, to quote Keanu Reeves - "most excellent". and yes, i agree this is sort of a family.
