What ever happened to DollParts

Who would have thunk it? Though here on Lit she did occasionally start a thread that became interesting in one way or another.

I was just about to edit my post by saying that giving her exactly the info she needed was a bit like offering a band-aid to a brick wall: just what is needed to just what cannot accept help.

She can't help it though. There are issues deeper than what she asks about.
 
On there (lint) she recently became a phenomenon in another respect: for creating meta-threads. In a thread she started seeking hypothetical advice for hypothetical medical questions the thread quickly became a discussion about such things as the inability of the ignore function to work on thread titles, the ability of some versions of VB Bulletin to allow entire threads (and their titles) to be ignored, and the metaphysical questions concerning whether mere knowledge of someone asking a question is tantamount to accepting that the question is legitimate.
Dollparts (Dolly) has this massive ability to pull well-meaning concern from astoundingly well meaning posters, and then to somehow either not hear it or not follow it, and after a suitable time, to ask the same question again.


What is your handle at Lint?
 
Oh dear...I can see why she is not here.

Yes and it's a good thing she isn't because no one gets her. She actually does listen to advice if you get her one on one in a PM and break it down for her. Posting on the boards isn't a good place to get the advice she is looking for, but since she has no one in her life that really cares other than some good friends who don't live close enough, it's all she's had.

That's rough. It's hard to be all alone. Most people can't relate. They have a fall back or someone who is close to them, family...etc. Very few people are truely alone in the world. Good she has a 'better for her' place to post and gets companionship.

Well there are people that are getting on her case at Lint too. She has friends who she can talk to now but it doesn't help her situation as much as it could if they were there.

I guess I should have said some companionship. That's still rough.

She has graciously been provided a certain numbness that, on one hand, makes her rather immune to the valid criticism that most of her posts result in, and on the other hand allows her to tally forth with her own form of frequent inanity.

people sometimes use strange things to fill the vacuum in their lives. They play the martyr, the doubter, the believer...blah blah...or the wise one at the bar who offers to analyze you...while you gag on his dorito and pbr breath.

I personally can't stand the latter. I hate doritos.

I don't know you anymore!

I tried to help her with a computer problem once when she first came to Lit. It was a simple problem with a simple solution and she somehow turned it into the Gordian Knot. After over an hour I felt like I was about to lose my mind. I remember dolf sent me a pm telling me I was a nice person with a lot of patience(no draconian censorship by invisible mods, please, just use some common sense here.) I finally had to stop posting with Dolly rather than lose my temper with her.

A lot of us had "last straw" experiences with her like that. Mine had something to do with taking some medication along with some other medication. I posted a bunch of links and clear-language explanations of them. She did the same thing; strung it out into a mess of contradictory nonsense. I remember posting "this is the last time I'll ever post in one of your threads."

Beer breath, ugh. Someone should make a breath mint gun, for when people fail to take the hint after being repeatedly offered Tic Tacs.

I'd be tempted to put it on a higher setting than stun, if they are extra annoying. I wouldn't want to get arrested for assault and tic tac:p
 
she's sometimes sweet, sometimes selfish to the point of vile.

she deliberately regresses in order to manipulate the sympathies of others.
she's so starved of attention in the real world that any attention,
good or bad,
is exciting online.
she is nowhere near as stupid as she plays at being.
and she's admitted all of these things.

i'm not a nice enough person to be friends with dollparts.
 
I hear she just had an IUD installed, ostensibly by hydraulic ram, in another part of the Internet.:rolleyes:

yet another classless comment.

yeah, this. I have tried and I tried even harder on lint, but I prefer to save my energies for face to face people who may actually change.
