Ten hours. Ten fucking hours.

Feb 05, 2006 15:23

Wasn't on the 'Net for four days, then I logged on last night and didn't log off until TEN HOURS LATER. Is that healthy? Is that normal? Fuck no. And all I did was get really, really pissed off. Pissed at GAFF, pissed at other people's LJs. That's not a good sign. It's only the goddamn Internet. It shouldn't affect me that way ( Read more... )

Cris-X's thread was just a joke, through, right? I honestly hope so, even I think that was far too self obsessed. >_<
I quite like BlueMonday's to be honest with you, but that's something personal, I guess.

Did you not notice the sarcasm dripping from it?

sacredarrow February 5 2006, 16:24:44 UTC

Just making sure, I'm exhausted today, so I'm far from being in the best mindset.

I don't bear her any ill-will, and we've agreed on things in the past. It's just that her buttons are very easy to hammer, if you're in the mood.

Oh, is it bad that I hope you get your comeuppance real soon?

Nope. There's a bus out there with my name on it! And since this message wasn't nailed down, if it wasn't addressed to me, I'm stealing it.

Knorg's probably delighted.

meh.

I just read your reply to Chainsawmidget in the "Hypocrisy..." thread. Goddamn you. You go and do infantile shite like post NWS pictures because you're so desperate for them fucking black stars, then you write something really ignorant that makes me laugh. It's no wonder you've got me all confused.

knorg February 5 2006, 17:01:52 UTC

really ignorant

What the fuck?

madra_liath February 5 2006, 17:16:43 UTC

"Ignorant" in Ireland also means "rude", only it's a bit stronger than that. Em, it's hard to explain. In any case, I was referring to the crack about the adult speak and spell.

Okay, since it's been brought up here: does anyone reading this LJ think I was just trying to start up 'wank?' I had just finally hit my boiling point and wanted to illustrate the latent hypocrisy in some GAFF members and though starting a thread about it would be the most appropriate way.

I am almost tempted to make a poll about it (namely, 'Do you think expecting other people to behave in a manner that you yourself are not capable of is hypocritical?'), but that would be considered shit-stirring, wouldn't it?

*sigh*

knorg February 5 2006, 23:22:48 UTC

I really don't think you were after wank.

madra_liath February 5 2006, 23:27:39 UTC

I don't think you were trying to start up wank, Denimjo. Like I said in my post here, the GAFF forums as a rule are havens of hypocrisy. In the CC, the hypocrisy is kicked up a notch. (Who couldn't love the delicious irony of Heywood starting the "Kiddies..." topic, then stomping out of "Topic Closed" seven pages in, like a fucking child, once people called him on his pompous, woe-is-me bullshit? I swear, the first little bit of that thread is a screech.) However, this particular display - the older GAFFers abandoning all the usual unwritten laws of Gabbery because it's "one of their own" - was of hypocrisy of phantasmagorical proportions. Knorg's nature parody summed it up perfectly. (Knorg, why do you have to be a funny asshole? I can't hate you if you keep making me laugh.)

If anything was going to prompt someone to post a thread on hypocrisy, it was gonna be that. I don't see a huge amount of difference between your thread, and Loki's "Open Letter to GAFF" that was posted a while ago.

saraswathi_rani February 5 2006, 23:33:00 UTC

Heh- I love being the catalyst of the "Topic Closed" wank. I think it's the only thing that earns me a footnote in GAFF history.

Oh, and do I count as an "Older GAFFer" (Most would disagree, since I've only been around for a year and a half or so.)? Most of the oldbies seem to have an ugly reputation nowadays, eh?

I feel slightly guilty for avoiding directly participating in wank now that I've tiptoed back into GAFF- I've sort of dipped my toe in it by posting in the "Old GAFFers" thread, but that's about it. Am I missing too much fun?

Oh, and while I'm getting really off-topic: WTF is up with the winter_rose thread? How much can they honestly say about her that takes up 25+ pages?
