If your sibling died, would you let the GB know?

[ChinaBandit]

Gee...I think 99.9% of people here would give that a pass.

My original post saying this was part of a thread many yrs ago.
I apologise for not planning in advance for the crap I might get

 

[fair_warning]

You posting to a KRC/Blobattack is petrol is to a bonfire.

 

[Saint Peter]

Better to skip that.

You never know when an alt flying, stalking, legendary tiny cocked poster will use the death of a family member against you.

 

[lovetoread]

Remember, it's never ones own fault for posting personal info, it's the big fat meanie heads that use such info's fault.

 

[shoulderblade]

Gee...I think 99.9% of people here would give that a pass.

And so they sould. It is personal information that cannot possibly be of value to anyone so why post it. There is nothing to be gained anywhere by doing it/

They didn't attack you for the original post. They never said ANYTHING about it, until YOU brought it up like three DAYS ago, in response to a comment on your tattoo.

YOU chose, in the MIDST of being attacked, to reveal that your tit tattoo (of all things) was dedicated to your dead brother.

Which was just pity-milking, plain and simple. If it hurt so fucking bad, you wouldn't have posted about it THREE DAYS AGO in the middle of a flamewar.

We're not talking about an old post you made in the depths of grief years and years ago. We're talking about a transparent attempt by you to use your dead brother as ammunition on a porn board. NOBODY remembered the first mention you made of it - YOU brought it up, YOU are the one who tried to use it for your despicable benefit, and when it went wrong, you're the one now crying about it.

Stop playing the victim - it's an atrocious charade.

Blogging, is the way to go.

 

[LiFeNdEaTh]

no, why should i???

 

[blobfish]

I guess if I had a starving seahorse tattooed on my saggy tit, every decision I made thereafter would seem like a good one in comparison.

Holy fuck, thats how this all started?

So now when we look up attention whore in the dictionary we gotta look at a picture of a starving seahorse tat on a tit

What is this world coming too

As Karen Kraft has told everyone here, I'm active in Toastmasters public speaking. In Toastmasters, one of the most universally reviled speaking techniques (which happens to be extremely effective) is derisively called "MPDR" stories.

"MPDR" stands for "My Poor Dead Relative", and it's a cheap ploy for sympathy.

I first encountered that here many years ago when arguing with Ishmael about his specious claims that childhood mortality went up under Democratic presidential administrations. Naturally, I had facts that made Ish look stupid and uninformed (moreso than usual).

Ish then went all MPDR on me, announcing that not one, not two, but all of his Ishspawn died before reaching adulthood. This got the desired result, Ish got his outpouring of sympathy from well-meaning dupes here, and Rob was roundly castigated for not showing empathy to poor Ishmael.

Of course, one of these purported dead children made an impromptu visit to the general board around 2006, so I enquired about Ish's familiarity with zombie rituals.

And then, lo and behold, another Ishspawn (VatAss) made his triumphant debut a little over a year ago, further making a mockery of Ish's claim. The interesting factoid was that VatAss appeared to be singularly unaware of the multitude of his deceased siblings.

Kinda creepy to find all this out from your dad on a porn message board, methinks.

So, anyway, the current position is that God has seen fit to punish Ish for his lies and prevarications by calling all but Ish's most retarded children home early.

Derp.

 

[bronzeage]

If I were to do that, I would have to reveal her Lit user name. She has made it clear she does not want anyone to know we are related.

As for myself, I could do without the, "Hey, ever seen your sister naked?" jokes.

 

[Recidiva]

I wouldn't, not until I was able to be sane in my response. Once I'm able to get some distance, and everybody else's opinion is tolerable, I would and have discussed painful subjects.

But I avoided the GB in the week of the new Harry Potter book because I figured some asshole would spoil it for me.

If information or criticism or exposure to the horrifying sides of some people's souls will bug me, I give it a pass.

I go pretty ambivalent when someone is vile and I just ignore them. Their horrific response usually reflects on them, not me.

So predicated on being on Lit is a certain attitude, enough energy to maintain it, and not defensiveness so much as not needing a defense. When I lose any of those things, I'm not here. Lit has driven me to soul sickness over the deaths of other people's children at least twice, and watching those people's treatment. I've left over the way people treat each other, not necessarily about the way they treat me.

I think Wok hurt my feelings once over my defense of DollParts...but Wok's opinion matters to me. I didn't leave, but I think that was one of the only times I was actually...sorta surprised that Wok was...mean...to me! ME!? Anyway, I got over it. Wok doesn't even know he hurt my feelings. Don't tell him, I can't even describe the conversation and now DollParts is on ignore to avoid such wrangling.

I have talked about my sister here...and the death of my mum...

But that was ages ago and as yet I have never heard anything negative concerning any of it.

So yes, I guess I would let the GB know.

Ok. Someone suggested I read this and all I can do is laugh and wonder how you can sit there with a straight face and lie while calling someone a liar....

Fact:
the 2006 breif appearance was me you dumb fuck. I admitted it was me several times before this all came up. You are one ignorant liar.

You asked me about it and I told you I had one step brother die of SID's when I was 3. I said that is the only brother I remember passing.

Ish said what about xxxx? My much older step brother who passed when I was young and never remember meeting.

This is all documented on the board and shows who the real liar is. Back to ignore you ass hat.....

Okay, but why is an outpouring of sympathy worse than an outpouring of derision?

Why does mistrusting everything and being a dick about it somehow smarter than engaging in a general respect for a subject?

I don't think it does. I don't mind being duped and having someone extract my sympathy. I'm not sending money or supporting some grief pyramid scheme, I'm responding to a basic human reality. Whether or not the specific case is true (and it wasn't true in whose case...Devil someone...don't remember) until I really KNOW...why pretend I do?

I can retain my intelligence and still have a heart and a soul. It's not a failing of character to allow someone to lie to me because they want sympathy and then give some sympathy.

I get that some people just dislike other people and don't care if they are seen being a jackass to someone else, but there's a community here. If I kick a sick dog, it's not just between me and the dog, the street's watching.

Not that I want to kick sick dogs and get away with it. *sigh*

Did you get a bad tattoo on your tit to remember him by?

Probably because you're a human being and not WQ.

My left nut..it is a angel.

My left nut..it is a angel.

As long as it was somewhere sexual because we all know that's the best place for tats about relatives.

 

[bronzeage]

This kind of shit only becomes a problem if your sibling lets the GB know you are dead.

 

[ivantheterrible]

no. because i don't give two shits about my siblings. and it is none of any one's business if they did. kind of like that with the majority of my family. i only keep in contact with a few cousins and a great aunt. my one remaining living grandparent, well, it doesn't matter. i saw her for the first time in years, and she had no idea who i was. alzhiemers..................
