How to Block?

[missgreekgeek]

Now thats different. You're a poster here and I thought it time to give you the business.

I'm a bit of a narcissist and I have a big mouth.

But in this case, I was and am right.

I apologize for being rude to you.

I see where you were going. I know how the geebee works.
You post one comment, and not even a page later, someone has something negative to say about you.
When they know nothing of you.
We all have big mouths, or we wouldn't be on the GB right?
I apologize for taking such offense.
And accept yours.

Now love people. Love.

I thought the lopsided tits crack was funny... Why apologize?

She's not doing so bad. She could end up being popular around here. Trial by fire. Time will tell.

We don't make it very easy but you're right.

 

[eyer]

This thread is beautiful, man.

Since you have no idea who I am, looking back at the last 25 of my posts to find something, anything to "counter-attack" with is going to be entirely inadequate.

You are still butt-hurt for me calling you out for attacking her for being butt-hurt, rather than taking the time to consider the person she is actually butthurt about.

So, you click "View other posts" you see my delicious BLAT sammich from last night and decide that that might get some sort of traction where we go back and forth and you show of your finally homed GB snark skills, knowing that your allies will be along to help shortly.

Yeah, the avocado was artificially unhealthy. Admittedly I could have done better than the store bought sub-roll but I didn't have any of my whole-wheat homemade bread handy. You really don't read me at all do you? Good.

i'm really not surprised that you're not getting the point - ie, that it's fucking ridiculous to expect somebody to stop posting just because you might not like what they say to you.

like, unless you're used to people constantly screaming STOP POSTING STOP POSTING YOU'RE OFFENDING ME to you, it's pretty fucking obvious how ridiculous it is.

but i dunno maybe you are used to that shit.

btw, i didn't read your posts at lit, bro...i just stumbled on your recipe for "dumpster bruschetta" lol.

 

[GuiltyPleasure]

This made me laugh out loud.

honestly? that's just sad - (posting at you. yes)

 

[Pookie]

How nice do you have to be to tell someone they can't block another poster?

Honestly. How much "nice" would it cost?

I'll tell you. Zero. dolf is a mentally retarded wombat.

She got a little nice thrown in with everything else. Walking into a yard full of pit bulls is more than anyone can expect. I thought she got off kinda easy.

Well yeah, there's a reason this, of all places has no moderators.
I'd feel bad for the two people put to the task of dealing with all the complaints.

I think it is the opposite. It is a self selecting population. Because there is no moderation on the GB, those that insist on defaulting to rude end up finding a home here. Either from other places on Lit, or the ones that would have been 50,000 post GB'rs never found this space and moved along when their comments were deleted. I acknowledge I can be acerbic at times, especially in political threads.

I love Charger Girl and the cheerful way she moderates threads in the Fetish Forum that I found hard to even peek at. She has on occasion deleted a post or two of mine because in some way my comment was fetish shaming. I didn't go in to a discussion with that intent, but the result was on some level it was rude and she rightly deleted.

Now imagine if I was one of those types that gets off on "dishing it out." After having several of my posts deleted, what is the fun in that? People like that probably moved on years ago, if they didn't stumble into the GB and find out they could behave badly and not only have it stand but flourish.

I am not laboring under any misconception that that will change, I just feel that any opportunity to encourage people that are not of that mindset to join in on the GB, we should.

THere are posters like you and Jelly off the top of my head that either gain just enough acceptance, or have thick enough skin to not mind the teasing so much and add some sunshine to the place. I just look to encourage that, and discourage the other.

I was thinking of starting a thread, but I hadn't decided whether in the PG or here.

"Who do you think should be sent up from the farm team?" and have a poll of prominent PG posters that would help bring some balance to the snark. The snark here is actually pretty good sometimes, funny, clever. Problem is there are people that are just rude and not funny at all and they think they are doing the same thing.

Honey was posting here for a bit, I'd like to see some of I Hate Clowns threads here. I dunno, who else should go into my poll? The best word play is actually in th BDSM forum but most of those people are not interested in the sort of dynamic available on the GB. They wanna spank or be spanked they get out the belt, not the words.

I'm still not sure why the ignore feature isn't adequate enough.

I also don't get why some of you, who are often horrid cunts with or without provaction, are on your high horses about this.

There are always snarky bitches here, its part of the fun of the GB. The ones protesting the treatment of the OP are some of the worst, which I find highly amusing.

Note to self: Stay the hell off the GB. One question turned into six pages of name-calling and bullshit.

Bitches be crazy.

Not agreeing with your point of view is not the same as not getting the point. No one can make someone stop offending. She asked if it was technically feasible to block the person. It is possible, not available here. I was supporting her right to say ouch, you are saying "don't be butthurt.'

I am all for pointing out odious behavior and do so on the regular. The entire reason RobDownSouth has made it his mission to as he has stated "run me off the board" is because I called him out for his behavior with other, tit-free posters. Rob does not pick on people with tits, unless they agree with people he is harassing.

I cannot stand Sean, and find Lancecastor mildly amusing at times. I pointed out several times how pathetically try-hard his harassment of LTR and Sean was.

I choose to support people hollering ouch. You choose to tell them not to whine. I think we understand each other, we simply do not agree.

Nooooooo. Stick around. You passed the audition now.

This I agree with.

The GB is a lot of fun, though. If you have thick skin, a sense of humor, and are heavy handed with the ignore feature it's just fine.

 

[missgreekgeek]

At the end of the day, I don't spend my final moments before bed, thinking "now why the fuck would this person on an adult site say this about me?"
Because they don't know me, nor I them.

Thick skin comes from living in Canada. And I also just don't care. lol

YES, thank you. That's all I asked was if something was possible. "No, it's not possible" would have been more than sufficient. Holy hell, what a shitstorm was started just by me asking a simple question.

I'm soooooo sorry I asked. Sheesh!

I'm not. I'm doin good in this thread for a fucking change!

Quit your whining. You're only allowed to whine when your post count exceeds 10,000. It's the rules.

It's always best to be prepared for the worst when you come to the GB.

Stick around, n00b.

Even though you've been on Lit almost a year, you're still a newb by GB standards.

This is the GB new hazing process. It has evolved over the years because a few people keep coming back time after time, under a new name because they think themselves so clever, we'll never figure it out. The kind of vanity that drives an alt to appear on the GB under multiple names prevents them from imitating the naive ignorance a true newb displays.

If you can be a good sport about it, you'll have a good time here. If not, I'll miss your nice big nipples.

 

[Aquagal]

We are fucking helpful! We just aren't going to kiss ass.

Wait...rephrase. We aren't going to kiss just anyone's ass.

And this right here is the gist of the thread.

 

[dolf]

it amuses me how i'm being accused of bullying. I just reread my posts. as I say, amused.

I've never seen such a gaggle of fucking bitches in my life. .

you never stood between two mirrors huh?

Brilliant observation. I like that you point out it has "evolved" because the bulk of those that are the shock troops in the process are unlikely to realize the actual purpose such hazing likely serves.

You are so awesome.
