Hello im new :)

[Jenny_Jackson]

Preserve it away. That way you can have SPAM JAM for breakfast!

Get it. Preserves. Jam. SPAM. SPAM JAM!

Just spelling it out.

Now there's an idea, MJ. And AH SPAM JAM... or maybe a SPAM-A-THON. I like it.

 

[mellowgyrl]

Wow!

Yes, it was left unsaid. And it was left well unsaid. Your little bashing game of the newbies is tiresome. (At least your spelling was reasonably good for a change.)

And you accuse Jenny of bashing? Ever stop and read your own posts? I certainly didn't interpret Jenny's parody as bashing, apparently neither did Innocent or the others who played on her parody. Are you the only person on Lit who is allowed to play around and joke? If so, how did you receive such an honor and how can the rest of us get it?

Sorry Innocent, I didn't mean to hijack your thread. His comment just seemed absurd to me

No, we haven't heard from Innocent, because, first of all, Innocent received civil responses to the question and had no reason to check back and, second, Innocent, like so many others (by design?) might well have been sent away from the forum altogether by Jenny's unnecessary nasty response. Innocent hasn't posted at all to the forum since Jenny's post.

But we'll just add you to the list of those condoning making fun of newbies and advocating initiating spam attacks on the accounts of other posters as a "fun" thing to do, Mellowgyrl, shall we? Such nice, decent people on this forum.

Since Innocent hasn't replied I don't think its fair for you or I to comment on whether or not she's left the forum. Jenny's response to Innocent wasn't nasty, or mean spirited (can you say the same?) it was just pun on the numerous times people on the forum are asked how long it takes for a story to get approved. You're making too much of a simple post.

Sr...you can add me to any list you wish. It doesn't bother me any. But before you judge me maybe you should look in the mirror. You attack and demean far more people than I ever have. You can't find a single post of mine that you could categorize as being mean, attacking, or nasty. I never wished any ill will upon you. Didn't ask for your email account to be spammed or anything so careful how you judge me. Yes, I do agree there are very nice decent people on this forum - Jenny, MJL, & Cloudy included. Thanks for pointing that out - I never thought you and I would agree on that!

You are dancing around the point of the posting behavior of proposing a spam attack on someone's e-mail attack, which means you either condone it, think its a "fun" way of needling someone here, or you are too cowed to take a principaled position.

I don't drop in on the heads of posters who have never attacked me (I don't think I've posted to you before at all) and bash them. All of my critical posts are in reaction to them having done this to me (and pretty much only do it right at the point where they have shown up to jab me unexpectedly). You are conveniently blind to that because you want to be "one of the girls" here and are willing to go after other posters who haven't done anything at all to you to prove you are worthy of the mob.

When logic and decency aren't convenient, it's always safest to run with the pack, isn't it?

If Innocent ever appears again and posts to this point, we'll know what Innocent's reaction is. If Innocent never appears again, my inference is as good as yours (and probably better). Regardless, Innocent isn't the only one who receives Jenny's "I am superior and am going to make you feel little" act. As I noted up the line (and which you conveniently ignore), I wasn't even the first one that day on this subforum who objected to Jenny's behavior.

 

[sr71plt]

Jenny's response to Innocent wasn't nasty, or mean spirited (can you say the same?)

On this one point, yes, of course I can say the same. I can say a whole lot better. I was the very first one to respond to Innocent's question on this thread--with a polite, comprehensive post, nonjudgmental post.

I'm dying to see you have the guts to respond to this point. Facts can be so inconvenient to the attack campaign, can't they?

Pot, meet kettle.

You're just as mean-spirited and nasty as anyone on these forums, and your patronizing know-it-all attitude hasn't seemed to win you any friends or admirers here, has it?

Before you accuse anyone else of being nasty, you ought to take a long look at yourself. Just because you're a miserable old man who has to fabricate some fantasy of working for the CIA, or being some spy in the foreign service (like anyone actually believes it) doesn't mean you have to inflict your misery on everyone else.

Fucking hypocrite.

 

[elfin_odalisque]

Hey guys.. im new on here i just joined yesterday and i wrote a story. but its not on the site yet.. when i checked up on it it said it was pending so can anyone help me as to tell me how long it will take until it will be up?

Please tell me I'm wrong. LIA.

You've got the bovine herd, TX, mjl, sr et al mooing around to help a girly, and the siren sisters - notably Cloudy and JJ - ruffling their feathers.

Great act, but you's not a newbie. I have a guess, probably wrong, but you are prolly giggling at us.

Actually, I have suspected this from the beginning, elfin (that posting name). And I immediately thought the best solution--either way--was to just give a straightforward, nonjudgmental response. Which was working a charm, until . . .

Until you stuck your nose into things, and did exactly what you accuse others of doing. If pretty is as pretty does....you're some kinda ugly.

I guess anyone who is interested can gather some good evidence one way or the other within the next couple of days. Innocent joined on 19 January and asked the question on 20 January, which, if an innocent question, presupposes a story was submitted no later than the 20th. No story has posted from Innocent. So, if no story by the 27th, chances are good . . .

If/when it happens again, though, I think the best response is the one I initially provided on this thread.

Your game/agenda is quite obvious--and is what's driving all of this.

 

[cloudy]

yep, sure. I'm arguing all by my lonesome, and you've been nothing but kind and polite.

Maybe you actually believe that, but I promise you, no one else does.

I have no agenda. Paranoid, much? I didn't even post in this thread until you bashed Jenny, and then tried to claim you were Mr. Congeniality. How the fuck can that be an "agenda," Mr. Clueless?

 

[Jenny_Jackson]

Hmmm... wonders who has an adjenda and who doesn't. Seems to me that Cloudy is the same spirit she always is without any adjenda at all.

SR, you, on the otherhand, need to poke you nose back where it's been most of your life. If anyone here has an adjenda it's you. I've read your stuff. You will notice I haven't found it worth commenting on. I've watched you for months running around the boards bashing everyone like some little tin god. You need to get a life and figure out you don't have a lot of friends here. You are one step away from being the very first person on my Ignore List.

Yep, I have an agenda (or, as you spell it, "adjenda"). I've made no secret of it. To point to the nasty gangbanging on the forum and help provide some balance. And I'll continue to point at the "mob" thing here.

Ah, and when the personal insults won't do the job, you folks make illusions to my writing ability. Perhaps in your own case, you are mainly upset that one of the regulars here gave me top marks for all four of my Winter Contest entries in his review series and didn't review your entry at all even when you posted a request for a review on the review thread. Was he perhaps not finding yours worth commenting on too?

Just because you brought it up.

I'm quite content with the response to my stories on the board and to the response to my writing in the larger world.

I've read a couple of your stories too.

Later: Hmmm. I wasn't able to find you on the top 250 Favorites Portal, Jenny. Maybe I just missed it. Or maybe all this playing at writing expert is only something you role play on the discussion board. And maybe it speaks to the effect/relevance of what you say about the written work of someone who is on that list.

Your sense of self-importance is staggering. Don't you have trouble fitting that head through doors?

Gee, when you attack, I just respond. Sorry if the responses aren't convenient for you. Perhaps if you didn't attack in the first place, you wouldn't leave so unsatisfied. Just a thought.

 

[sr71plt]

Congradulations, asshole. You made it. IGNORE!

Whew, that's a relief. Now if the mechanism just worked the other way--if it would just cancel out any out-of-the-blue attack on someone on your ignore list, we'd all be happy.

 

[cloudy]

Perhaps if your mama had taught you some fucking manners, we wouldn't be having this problem.

Stop being such a fucking hypocrite, bashing others while protesting that you're "cleaning up" the forum, and you might find that people are a little nicer...but I don't like liars, and I can't stand a fucking hypocrite.

Yes, there are some nice people here.

Now, would a liar/hypocrite be someone who said my stories sucked in one post and then in her next post said she never read any of my stories?

Again, you attack, I respond. You leave unsatisfied. You don't attack, there's nothing to respond to. We all leave satisfied. If we had a blackboard, I'd chalk it for you.

I'm not dancing around anything (thanks for assuming you do a wonderful job of it). "One of the girls"? What is that? I haven't ever gone after ANYBODY ever! I advised you before to take a look at all of my posts and you can't find a post where I have attacked anybody, been mean to anybody, bashed anybody. So your theory there is grossly incorrect! As for decency, I don't think you're one to comment on that. I have yet to see you be cordial to anybody who didn't firmly agree w/your posts (me included now). I'm not running with anybody. I saw your post in reference to Jenny and I didn't agree with it and posted that I didn't. If that makes me a follower by your standards so be it, your standards so far don't mean squat to me.

"unsatisfied"????

Darlin, you are an afternoon's diversion for me, nothing more. Good lord, don't flatter yourself so.

I'm sure you have yourself quite convinced that you're the center of the universe, but I have a newsflash for you: you're nothing more than a dissatisfied, miserable old shit, reveling in any attention you get, positive or negative. When I walk away from my computer - and I do, because I do have a life - you never cross my mind at all.

...or as the saying goes around here: You ain't shit to me.

Oh Pulllleeeeeez! AS if there was some way, anyway, that I could get your email address and do this. Or even wanted to. You can't even take a slightly sarcastic joke without turning it into something.

Jeez Pete. Pull your head out of your ass and let go of your dick for two minutes and while you're at it, open the windows and let some of those glue vapors escape. Something is addling your brain.

If anyone took Jenny's comments seriously besides yourself, then they need to grow up (as you do) and grow a minute quantity of hide.
