Cowslinger VS Meta-Troll

[Pookie]

You get a latte for that, bitch and don't think I won't pay for it.

I don’t have to take that from you, you bastard! I will, but I don't have to!

 

[gotsnowgotslush]

Hmmm, the question is, who are you sharing said lunch with!

*munched the Comte and Jarlsberg grilled cheese*

In a cheese shop, somewhere, is a rare Gruyere, that truly has the scent of the fresh armpit sweat of Angels. Perhaps, Seraphim. And I will never taste it. *sigh*

You really need to get down here and taste some decent food.

 

[gotsnowgotslush]

You have cheese that has a scent similar to God's/ god's very own fresh sex organ sweat ?
*swoon*

This is query's circus.... I nothing to do with it, and this will be my only post on it too. If some of you had bothered to notice, I hadn't said a word on it since I'd told him I wouldn't.

Subdued needs to spend more time trying to prove "she's"not a man, the shriveled sacs were welcome additions especially considering they have me on ignore like little bitches.

They started the bullshit with me, I didn't come here to be that way.. so fuck em, they deserve nothing less in return. I've posted opinions lots of times, but with query, miles, bunny, jen, Ish, forestdump et al, what's the point?


Query...you're a fucking dumbass. Plain and simple. It's obvious I don't care what your opinion is, that's why I rip you. More than once I offered to leave you alone if you'd just ignore me, but that was too difficult for a dickhead like yourself. You decided to post this dumbshit thread and even ran the post count up on my butt thread to get it to 5000 so you could start your own. Like I actually cared. Playing the victim and innocent act is pathetic.

You've never angered me, I don't think anything of you. So why would you bother me? I just enjoyed poking at your bulbous vacuous head. I also told you what I'd expect from a meeting, and that was to watch you be nice and respectful to me to my face. But you and that pussy miles turned it into more.

You're a passive aggressive lunatic. Be thankful for your anonymity.


Btw... I act different on the PG because there aren't any trolls like you, miles, vette etc...

No, but the mustard is close.

But, but, it is a plant based food! Piquant does have its allure, but it does not have the foot of an Angel, for its source.

 

[RobDownSouth]

He's either just trying to make a name for himself, or he really is just a whiny, little twat.

I find it curious, that query would invent an alt, just in time to behave like a total troll on the Playground threads.

You pull on the guy's pigtails until he turns around, then you pretend it was all him? Grade School crushes never last.

So the glory days really are gone for good, eh?

Query, for your own sanity stop arguing with the Playgrounders. Take it from a tired, battle-scarred GBer - that whole "Im'ma re-post someone's shizzzzit in the Playground in order to expose him as an asshole/pedophile/racist ect." has been tried before and it has failed. Spectacularly.

Man on man troll threads are the sincerest form of gay love. It's a beautiful thing and no one should interfere.

hmm you got me dead to rights here Aphroditiac. i was stuinned and laughing so hard. i just blurted out . .nothingness.

soo , i was trying to say: Query, if i was you, and i'm glad i'm not.
seeing how you have stired up a hornets nest. which may have been a much better thing. than that of Joy, Scent, Snow, Wear, Bie and a few other . fine persons each and every one of them. as for you, there are not enough flowers or chocolates in the whole USA, to make it right with them. and not only them . . ..but Slinger too. soo if you know like i know, and it shows you don't.
Query, it'd be best if you just let it all be, and walk away.

yup that how i mean it. hahahhahha but i was laughing too hard. and the other came out. thank you, for the sharp stick used to point that out to me . . . . .

I was working hard on a, hopefully thoughtful, nuanced response but I got this error message:

You have included 326 images in your message. You are limited to using 10 images so please go back and correct the problem and then continue again.

Images include use of smilies, the vB code tag and HTML <img> tags. The use of these is all subject to them being enabled by the administrator.[/QUOTE] So Imma have to limit it to like 10 roses. You guys figure out if you want to pass the bouquet from poster to poster, divy it up by the petal, or what... I'll make the required changes and get right back to you.

Well, as I have said, repeatedly, we all have facets of ourselves that our friends see and appreciate. I would not presume to tell anyone who their friends should or should not be.

I admire the level of loyalty he has in his friends. The point of the (so far successful, knock on wood) exercise was to encourage friend 'slinger to find some other means of entertainment for himself. He has stated that he is for real ignoring me, honest Injun, cross his heart and hope to die. I consider the matter closed.

As to owing anyone an apology that chose to participate in our little tempest in a teapot, I am not sure what to say about that. Any of them that chose to pile on, take a side, ride or die, did so of their own volition. I suppose I could have moderated my tone and delivery even further than I did, but just as 'slinger has his own adorable style, I gotta be me.

But thanks for bumping the thread so all can revisit it all over again. Perhaps we will learn one of those after-school-special style life lessons from a fresh look at the thread.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On a merely tangential basis:

Perhaps you could clear something up for Queersetti. He had to ask me 4 times before I finally got the thrust (heh) of his query. You see... in another thread I was explaining that Cowslinger did not show up in his own vanity thread but chose to respond elsewhere while at the same time(my words) "sending surrogates" on his behalf to check in on this thread.

As you can see, I am barely top poster in this thread. Remove the posts where I responded directly to a poster asking me for a response, and I would be about third poster. There were a few brave souls that did give their unsolicited support of my little campaign, but wouldn't you say that the overwhelming number of posters were friends and acquaintances of our boy 'Slinger either simply and sweetly expressing their appreciation for all 'Slinger does for the PG, or confronting me in a let's say very direct way?

That said, I don't think that there was an actual meeting where strategy was plotted and parts were assigned. I don't know all the players, (I have met some since and answered a lot of queries by PM from concerned people that wanted a nuanced balanced understanding) Of the posters in the thread, it is clear that there are interdependencies and closeness between some. It was mentioned that someone was posting "until so-and-so gets here" from that would it be fair to say that there were behind the scenes communications between these posters? Yes?

So, in these behind the scenes communications, we know that 'Slinger was apprised of the contents of the thread and what had been posted since he posted about being kept abreast by email.

Now, none of this matters to me, particularly, it was obviously decided either individually from group dynamics or as a concerted effort to continue to bump this thread and not only respond but to express quite vigorously the point of view that 'Slinger is a great guy (I don't dispute that to his friends he clearly is) and that I am an asshole (valid.)

So before Queersetti has to ask me a 5th time, were these surrogates (as they indisputably fit that definition) "sent" or was it more of a spontaneous flash mob?

In other words did 'Slinger ever express his appreciation for the stalwart defense? You know, like, "Atta girl!!!' You TELL that asshole but good!" That sort of thing?

Or was he pleading behind the scenes, "Come on guys, I don't really like confrontation, can you guys please quit bumping that thread??"

So like I said, I consider the matter closed so long as he does not start up again, but obviously you have lingering concerns, and Queersetti, although he is not my daddy has concerns.

I need to decide if I believe that Cowslinger sent surrogates, or whether I believe it was a simple, unavoidable outpouring of love for our boy 'slinger that the thread has gone on for 220 posts.

To be frank, I am leaning towards the latter. I can't imagine why 'Slinger would think it is in his best interest to have this drag on. I have been wrong about his tenacity before though, so we shall see.

Thanks for your frank feedback and any light you can shed on the above.


I couldn't find a chocolate emoticon. ~shrug~ Also on chocolate I am of two minds, yes the dark stuff is both yummy and apparently, good for us, but the calories. Am I right?

 

[Que Va]

I heard that Query lives in a pizza joint in Albany, New York, if anyone is interested.

Technically I live above the joint. Makes it easier to get back and forth to lit in between mixing and proofing cycles. I don't get paid a lot but I do make a lot of dough.

At the risk of encouraging your lunacy further, I'll answer, though I can only speak for me.

No one sent me to the thread. No one asked me to post there or even read it. Those who mentioned me did so because they know Slinger is my friend and that I am the kind of person who strands behind my friends with as large a presence as possible. They knew when I saw it, that I would have something to say about it.

I received no 'atta girl' but I did get a 'thank you' from my friend for saying nice things about him. There were no emails to him or apprisals of the thread content, at least from me.

Regardless of your opinion of him, the fact is that he is just not that into you. He did not follow the thread as breathlessly as you think. We actually had a long conversation about another subject entirely while the thread was unfolding, and he was not concerned about the thread enough to even mentioni it.

I hope that pokes a tiny deflating hole into QB's giant balloon head. Your opinion of your importance is greatly exaggerated when you're talking about people with actual lives away from their computer.

Incidentally, for the Subdued_passion asshole who wants to know why CS gets 'special treatment' and got the thread moved to the GB...he didn't ask for that, and he didn't need to. The rules of the Forum state that threads must be started in the appropriate board. The rule is pretty clear. And this is not a PG thread. Nor are Query's comments on PG threads that prompted Slinger to tell him to take that shit back to the GB in the first place, and why he doesn't post the same way there as on the GB. It's common sense...though I like to know who people really are, so it's good to know that you're too lazy to read the things you throw your opinion at, or you're too stupid to comprehend it.

So, after all that, the answer is "Maybe".

OK, fair enough.

I am interested in how people think message board dynamics work. I have posted on a number of boards going back to the mid 90s, and there always seems to be some underlying belief by some posters that the conversation is constantly being manipulated behind the scenes, that what appears on the screen is merely the surface manifestation of some cosmic struggle between the forces of some clique on the one hand versus a ragtag band of rebels on the other. I was wondering if you were buying into that.

I was wondering if you were buying into that.

Well that makes more sense as a question. Ordinarily I would say no. For example even if Dom Elliot Roger had been here long enough to have developed a fan base, I still think most of the replies there would be much the same with perhaps some supporters chiming in.

Had CS been an active participant in the thread, with his fans chiming in, 'right on, you tell 'im, bro!" I would assume most of that was spontaneous.

This was a unique situation in that there was some sort of a huddle. "I'm just putting this here until (joy?) gets here!!" As if the arrival of (joy? -might have that wrong) was some portent that the group was anticipating.

The "ragtag group of rebels" is a standard bbs troll technique. The I am david vs Goliath meme to elicit sympathy from the board because every one looks around and says, "Hey, I am not a part of this cabal of which he speaks!" and looks to join the "rebels" in reality the "rebels" and "rebel allies" is the larger organized group.

In this troll, I was careful to try and not make it a referendum, nor to even suggest that I had any support whatsoever in doing this. It is only in this post troll analysis and contrasting with the equally weird Dom Roger Elliot style that I bring up the odd collusion here.

I would absolutely not even have alluded to it if this was ongoing because it would have looked transparently as an appeal to me against the masses and that was never what this was about.

I realize that standard BBS to modern forum dogma on trolls is that ignoring them is the only way to deal with them. That same advice is given in schools about bullying. It sometimes is a good idea. Always a good idea in the initial stages of bullying to simply not show dismay, not show they have gotten a rise.

When that fails, continuing to ignore the bullying, especially when it becomes a small group, and those dynamics take over tends to embolden them as the group feels they have a compliant victim. There are things that can be done as I have shown here.

Do I come off as a whiny bitch in the process? Sure. Is it as ineffective as everyone claims in such direct confrontation? No.

I now have Rob unilaterally announcing he is ignoring me for a month, Cowslinger announcing he is ignoring me and at least now acting like he intends to do that and advising the latest upstart applying for the bash queer-bait club. Dom Roger folded in three posts.
