Cowslinger VS Meta-Troll

[Que Va]

Ha! I didn't see this before I posted.

It just struck me that this particular poster has arrived to defend Cowslinger's honour in the past as well. LC pointed out how the guy was a misogynist and the next thing we know here she arrives to her defend her knight's honour. I think she probably stalks him around the boards or he mails her and asks her to help him out.

It's sweet really.

Loyalty is an attractive quality, to be sure. Strange dynamic to me though. I am not that rigid about roles, but wouldn't you expect Cowsliinger to be so? I am kind of surprised that he sat back and sniped from cover when all this was going on.

I was certainly not obsequiously polite to his covey. None of that drew him in to "defend their honor" as you normally see with those type of uber-macho guys. Now it actually was reasonable to not do that because I am hardly insulting anyones honor except cowslingers, and she rushes in.

I just assumed they were an item or something because of the references to her before her arrival. I never keep up on literomances. Now I am not so sure. Perhaps she is just a bit quixotic in her loyalty?

This really fucks up that idea that the Playground is where all the nice people hang out.

Whoever had that idea hasn't hung out on the Playground much. They just present it in a fluffier package.

This really fucks up that idea that the Playground is where all the nice people hang out.

And if you go there, you'll see I am really nice. But if you poke the bear, he will growl and swipe at you. It's pretty simple. Even nice people can't hold back forever lol

Look....he's my friend. I'm going to stand up for him...and if there's one thing I can't stand, it's ignorance. So I've responded. But it's against my nature to be nasty. I do a job every day where I take care of others all day long. That's my choice, and I do kind things for people every day. A message board- any public forum - lends itself to the worst in people, because we are anonymous here. Rest assured, I would be friendly to you on the PG or anywhere else. But not to those who insult me or my friends. Sorry.

Hardly. But it is no secret to the PG that we are good friends.

He did not feel the need to respond...it would just feed the troll. I think it was a good choice. He knew exactly what you wanted him to do...and how nuts it would get you that he didn't do it. And look! It worked! Two whole pages of you talking to yourself. Desperate attempts to keep the thread at the top of the page, constantly. Running in place to make sure you took as many jabs as you could. And here you are doing it to me, too. You're very transparent.

I have no doubt that if I really did need defending, he would do it...he's stood up for me before. But he also knows that your bullshit isn't something he needs to respond to.

This has been a bit of a hot mess and not in any of the ways I would have anticipated.

No stalking necessary. I can read just as well as anyone else. Except, maybe, you two, who seem to stumble over single-syllable words.

I never can get the syllable count right for my audience. I did not realize that you were a fellow sesquepedalian so I'll try to tone up my vernacular for you.

If you go back to look, you'll see he is not the only person I have defended. But I can see why you wouldn't....that would burst your bubble.

I tend to tilt at windmills so I perfectly understand the urge. You have stated that Cowslinger was not encouraging your,( shall we say- vigorous?) defense. Perhaps these other people you mention can "defend" themselves?

I don't care what you do. You're such a lunatic that it's been fun to fuck with you. And you respond exactly as I expect each and every time.

Eventually I'll bore with you though, no worries. My brain cells refuse to participate in such toddleresque idiocy for too long.

Well, as long as you are having fun. Are you sure you are not Cowslinger? He says that exact same thing a lot. Maybe its just one of those "great minds think alike sort of things..."

I am glad I am predictable. Consistancy of affect is important, I feel.

 

[subdued_passion]

Ordinarilly I don't make that assumption. Frequently I will have a personality conflict (I know shocking, right) with someone, and am good friends with their friends. Usually though it is because the thing that rubs me wrong is of minor concern to me, and their positive traits are just not in areas that I happen to be privy to.

Several interesting people took the time to PM me to express in a balanced way the fact that they do not approve of some statements, but have a fondness for cowslinger. Not all friends of my "foe" are my enemy.. People are too multifaceted for that.

In this case though you may have a point. Carrots and peas as Forrest said of He and Jenny.

You realize, though that the common intersection of these little tiffs of mine lately is me, right? I obviously antagonize a certain type of individual. I am not sure what she thinks I might reasonably do? Suddenly decide that all of Cowslingers relentless trolling was all in good fun?

It is starting to feel like wack-a-mole. Each more persistent than the last. What is the payoff for them?

I have no idea. I'm tempted to start a thread in the PG but I have to leave in some time so that would be no fun.

For the record I find your winded and meandering style annoying too but I have the option of ignoring you and I don't need to get in your face and follow you around calling you names because I don't like what you post, unless I'm just trolling.

Did you notice how the best response he had for me was a snarky reference to my gender?

Well offence is the best defence, right? I bet that's the kind of non-misogynistic thing his friends really love him for.

This really fucks up that idea that the Playground is where all the nice people hang out.

I've said this before and I'll say it again. People are the same everywhere. The difference between here and there is the absence of a referee to make sure the inmates are playing nice with each other.

Did I ever say I was betting YOU?

This is not mad. I'm an Irish redhead...when I get mad, you'll know it. No need to wonder.



Why? I've ready read the whole thread..something you didn't bother with before you decided to chime in.

I will always defend my friends...Cowslinger or anyone else. Did he need it? No. He didn't ask me to, and he didn't need to ask me. He could not have cared less if I posted or not.

What amuses me most, asshole, is that you assume you know anything about me or him outside this forum. Are you really so stupid as to think that either of us are showing you every facet of our character here? Nobody does, except the stupidest, most arrogant ones who think lit is as important as real life and take everyone else at face value.

Why are we such friends? On my part, because he's smart, caring, kind, and generous. It's no insult to me to be compared to him.

And again, you, just like query, ignore the part of the post you can't answer to. The thread was moved because it broke the rules. Review them again, and then I'd love to hear your argument for why it should have stayed in the PG. If this is the crux of your complaint, then address it. Otherwise, fuck off.

Good lord, I'm not reading this thread, I'm not invested in this saga like you clearly are. You can stop foaming at the mouth now.

No need to use big words, just try to understand them from others. If you can.

It's not a matter of whether they can defend themselves or not. It's support for someone you care about who's getting kicked around. I know it's hard to understand the concept when you have no reference point.

Again...slinger doesn't have boobs. Unlike some other people here, I am attractive enough to use my own picture as an AV. And his posts would be much wittier than mine, I am sure.

The spelling on that word is 'consistency', Mr. I Know Two Big Words And I Just used Them Both.

 

[JoyDyan]

Good lord, I'm not reading this thread, I'm not invested in this saga like you clearly are. You can stop foaming at the mouth now.

Clearly. I can certainly tell you haven't read it...though that didn't stop you from contributing your ignorant opinion on it.

If you're so UNinvested, why do you keep posting? You're not even really contributing since you refuse to address the question that I brought up to you in the first place.

I'm willing to extrapolate that it's because you really ARE an asshole and you just can't help yourself. Or maybe you are really Query? I can see why you two get along.

It is really sweet. But I don't know why she doesn't get that she's ruining his macho image by running to his defence every time.

Maybe he'll troll a few more political threads with his pics and 'you're an idiot' posts to reestablish himself.

And if you go there, you'll see I am really nice. But if you poke the bear, he will growl and swipe at you. It's pretty simple. Even nice people can't hold back forever lol

If you're honest you'll have to admit that no one took a swipe at you and you just chose to jump into this thread to defend your friend's image?

Query made this thread to quote cowslinger. It was an homage really. Why were you so worried that the people in the PG would see how he behaves in the GB? After all we're all just stupid, lazy assholes here.

Yes, his macho image is what he's most concerned with. Puh. Leeze. If he was worried about it, he'd have posted on the thread himself.

Query did not make the thread as an homage...if you really think that, you're dumber than I thought.

Swipe at my friends and you swipe at me. I suppose you're the kind of gal that watches idly while someone steals your best friend's wallet at the bar?

I don't care how people in the PG see slinger. If they want to read his posts in the GB, they can stalk him like anyone here. Obviously, he knows this too...if he was worried about it, he wouldn't post on the GB.

My main concern - as stated in my drivel - was that the thread does not belong on the PG. Neither do Query's snarky posts to CS on the PG, which is what ticked off query in the first place. Because CS told him to take his bullshit back to the GB where it belongs. Which you'd know if you'd bothered to educate yourself before you chimed in.

Again, not addressing where you were wrong to be upset about the thread being moved.

 

[Que Va]

Was there a mouse in your pocket that owes you the $10? Im confused.

This is not mad. I'm an Irish redhead...when I get mad, you'll know it. No need to wonder.

Have you ever done a johari window? I think you might find the results surprising.

Did he need it? No. He didn't ask me to, and he didn't need to ask me. He could not have cared less if I posted or not.

There is something inconsistent there. In any case if he is neutral on the subject, why are you so exercised over the matter. Bear in mind your objection was a thread where I showed the playground his GB persona. Since you have said that you two feel it is OK to have a more aggressive one here, how is showing something that neither one of you thinks is problematic even insulting?

Are you really so stupid as to think that either of us are showing you every facet of our character here? Nobody does, except the stupidest, most arrogant ones who think lit is as important as real life and take everyone else at face value.

I am pretty sure that all of the above including the specific verbiage you are using were my exact thoughts on the matter. Not sure why we are "stupid" about that when I expressed the sentiment that you are now repeating.

Why are we such friends? On my part, because he's smart, caring, kind, and generous. It's no insult to me to be compared to him

Fair enough..its been said by many. I have never disparaged others feelings on his appeal, You are free to see those qualities in him. He has chosen not to share any of those qualities with me as is his right. Absent him displaying any of those qualities, I do not find him charming.

Smart in the way you mean it here is subjective. If he seems smart to you then to you he is smart.

He has never been "caring, kind or generous" towards me. I wouldn't expect him to. From what I have observed one needs to have tits before he is going to utilize those precious commodities.

Personally, I find that I can better ascertain a person's true nature in how they interact with people they are not looking to impress. You are free to choose your friends by whatever metric works for you.

And if you go there, you'll see I am really nice. But if you poke the bear, he will growl and swipe at you. It's pretty simple. Even nice people can't hold back forever lol

Look....he's my friend. I'm going to stand up for him...and if there's one thing I can't stand, it's ignorance. So I've responded. But it's against my nature to be nasty.

Anonymity may well provide cover but it doesn't justify behavior. We are all accountable to ourselves for how we comport ourselves with others.

Hardly. But it is no secret to the PG that we are good friends.

If that was and is his choice (I agree it is a good one) then why have you not respected his choice by not feeding the "troll?"

Is there anyway you could gather your thoughts, figure out whatever it is that you need to get off your chest, and simply put it all in one post? This seems like a lot of effort the way you are going about it. Rather than looking at everyone as some mortal enemy, say what you want to say, and leave it at that.

Look, if you're so keen on proving a point why not just quote the posts that you think were the reason this thread got moved.

It's nice how you're trying to make this thread about how I was so stupid for questioning the reason the thread to move so that no one's talking about why the thread needed to be made or the posts query linked.

And as far as me posting goes, do you not understand the concept of a community message board?

Yes, his macho image is what he's most concerned with. Puh. Leeze. If he was worried about it, he'd have posted on the thread himself.

Query did not make the thread as an homage...if you really think that, you're dumber than I thought.

Again, not addressing where you were wrong to be upset about the thread being moved.

Maybe your friends shouldn't act like their actions won't have consequences.

I can't imagine how fragile some people egos are if they feel threatened just to have their own words quoted back to their friends.

I'm not surprised you are confused...it's easy to do, apparently.

He doesn't dictate what I do. And I could say the same to you....this gigantically long post of yours is idiotically verbose and fragmented.

See? I know some big words, too.

You flatter yourself to think that you're my enemy. You're so far below my intellect level, it's laughable. I'm entertaining myself, that's all. Like I said, I'll bore with you eventually. And I do actually have a life that I need to address sooner or later. I know you'll be here long after I leave, though, pushing the same old bullshit, since you clearly have nothing better to do.

 

[JoyDyan]

I can't imagine how fragile some people egos are if they feel threatened just to have their own words quoted back to their friends.

Why do I need to quote the post? It was YOURS, do you not remember it? It was the only issue I addressed with you, and you can't seem to grasp that. You just keep prattling on about other things.

I understand the message board concept. What I don't understand is why you insult me for posting, and state how UNinvested you are here, but you can't leave it alone. Clearly, you're a hypocrite as well as an asshole.

My friend doesn't care what you think of him...if he was that concerned or had that fragile of an ego, he would have responded long before he did.

And again...who is threatened? Anyone can see his posts, here or anywhere else. There is no way to hide them,. It is not Query's duty - or anyone's - to start a thread pointing this out and policing anyone else's image on the board. He's a 5 year old throwing a tantrum because he thinks CS is picking on him, and he wanted to pull the PG in with him. It didn't work, and his thread was moved because it was started in an inappropriate forum. Period.

Well, let me know when you are bored.

Glad you could find such a high degree of entertainment.

 

[subdued_passion]

You know you've gotten under some one's skin when they declare they find you boring or they'll grow bored with you but continue to engage.

Query, I think you should play nice with joy because she can actually match your walls of text well enough.

Aaaand So I should stop because I'm not bored yet??

Lol...you know you've gotten under someone's skin when they point out how UNinvested they are and they can't keep from posting back to you. Hypocrisy, anybody??

This is the lowest entertainment available at the moment. So bad that I turned off Jerry Springer.


Go on ahead with your butt-licking, subdued...I'm sure query appreciates it. I have better things to do with my time.

I AM playing nice.

She scares me a little.

I cannot keep up with the sheer volume. And this coming from me after I posted 100 posts in an hour and a 1/2 in dom roger elliot's vanity thread for me just to cut his time estimate in half!

 

[subdued_passion]

Dammit, that's the second time today. I may be your alt after all.

Her logic is really falling apart. I know I should've ignored her but it's kinda fun- like when a little puppy attacks and nips at your heels begging for attention.

As an aside, do you know why I get a red line whenever I use the contracted form of 'have' on Lit. I should probably ask this in the AH but you are a bit of a know it all and we're talking here so I may as well get something out of this exchange.

I'd stay and defend my logic to subdued...though it wouldn't do any good, unless I used shorter words...perhaps I'll come back later. Maybe, maybe not.

In the meantime, enjoy having her head up your ass, query. I'm sure it's the first action you've had in a long while.

As far as I know there is no actual contraction for have. Now you can contract have not as haven't and that sort of thing. People short-hand a lot of things if there is no other way to interpet something. Im tring to think of an example.

Like I could say "as far as I knw there's no act'l contr'tn for "have." If it is readable it is decent communication but it isn't proper.
