Oh my god I'm impressed
We've got an absolute special shiny princess over on robinhoodbbc.
Apparently it is too difficult to read the userinfo to find out the rules of a comm. Even though she's posted before and run afoul of said rules several times, according to her ( Read more... )

You're HOWWIBLE an' MEAN to me, just because *I'm* a precious flower and you're not and you're JEALOUS! It's so UNFAIR that you expect me to read all that word stuff and rules when everyone else has always allowed me to do EXACTLY what I want! If you don't stop what you're doing *right* *now* and soothe my wounded feelings with crawling apologies then *I* *SHALL* *FLOUNCE* - and everyone else in the entire world will also realise that you're horrible and jealous and have no friends! Waaa!
There are times when xkcd's idea seems like a really good one. Especially if the moron's post could be read out in the tones of a bratty snivelling eight-year-old.
(Mind you, it is pretty funny that Youtube are actually implementing the feature described.)

'Believe me or not, I can read'
- yes, and so can many five-year-olds.
'But if I say I am sick and tired of reading through the entire profile page each and every time I want to post something'
- then I'd say that you have a memory span more commonly associated with a goldfish - perhaps your local aquarium might the best place to express yourself among kindred spirits?
'because one has no idea where to look for what one wants to know'
- the About: section is hardly Tolstoy. It runs to just 325 words, many of which are short and simple. As such, expecting people to read it and remember much of it is actually fairly reasonable.
It could also be noted that this dingbat has so far posted 654 words of whiny, ill-written and repetitious justifications as to why she should have the right to special treatment over and above anyone else ( ... )

Best bit is where she insists over and over again that I've called her brainless and stupid, which is a phrase I've never used in my life. and she hopes I'm not this bitchy and more tolerant of human error in Real Life. I didn't feel the need to tell her I'm actually less tolerant and it's my job to smack down people in my team who make mistakes. According to her userinfo she's 20. I hope she learns soon.
I know! the lurkers are on her side! (the non-lurking comm members are *weird*. They leave fannish adoration comments on my tantrum posts. And deduct points for such things as lack of hangover or excessive niceness.)
One of them has posted 'I'm in a jail cell doing time for arson. no-one told me it was wrong! There wasn't a big sign up! How am I supposed to know?'

It's the way that the most objectionable ones are also the ones who try hardest to dig themselves out of a hole; they're slaving away at the bottom of a yawning pit whilst all the sane ones are standing on the edge pointing and laughing.
I did wonder about the 'brainless and stupid' bit, as a casual scan through her previous output didn't yield anything. Quite apart from all else, the phrase is verging on redundant repetition; which is her hallmark, not anyone else's.
I did notice that she was twenty (going on five); but really, you play in the grown-up pool, you act like a grown-up; and I know of any number of teenagers (such as knowitall_teen) who've known that since before they were teenagers ( ... )
