Nothing but nice for 24 hours

[Recidiva]

Freya, honey, you're too smart to play with retards.

That's a logical fallacy. If you're highly intelligent, most of the people you have the option to play with, are therefore, retards. Might as well get used to it.

Also, intelligence can also allow for a cultivation of compassion. And there are so many people also to have compassion for it can just get to be a matter of everyone requiring it.

Unless you really do enjoy being disliked, don't pretend to enjoy being disliked. Sometimes I DO enjoy it...it keeps me real to my objectives.

Well done, then.

When so many people here are giving you negative feedback, ask yourself why. I get tremendously more positive feedback than negative. Perhaps you miss that part?

Good. No, I don't see much of that, but I did see you and Leverage getting along. There are a huge number of people posting here. I'm sure you can and do find people you get along well with. You might enjoy arguing with those people, but you basically like each other. Ask yourself why you would persue interactions with people who have already decided to close that door with you - as in this thread.

We all annoy each other some times. It is respectful to at least consider what people are finding annoying, rather then immediately escalating it. Show me where...I will make every effort to improve here.

Poppy, I've seen you do this 100 times: someone expresses genuine irritation towards you, and you respond with glee. And you stick around, doing the same thing again and again, proving that no one can stop you. Of course no one can stop you. But what do you get out of that? And it quickly gets to the point that that person wants no furthur interaction with you at all. This whole thread is an example.

Being yourself does not equal rudely ignoring other people's input - unless you enjoy being disliked. Am I doing that? I think I've asked for feedback many times and acquiesced, as well as apologised, at times. I will continue to try and do this as well. Please point it out to me when I do this.

The role of the gleeful little mischief maker - in my opinion, it sucks, and I wish you would drop it. However, you may particlularly love that role and enjoy it. In which case, I'll keep my distance and request that you don't approach me in that guise.

I do, sweet...and I have commented on it. But that 1% is fierce...and I find it curious.

You've got a long history of trying to push my buttons, so don't act too surprised.

 

[Olivia_Yearns]

Who is it speaking from a shaky pedestal here? Poppy? Look again, love.

And here is an example - the rose, the 'love' - when someone has taken the thought to be genuine.

Long history?

Is there more to this squabbling than meets the eye?

 

[Jailhouse]

Long history?

Is there more to this squabbling than meets the eye?

Yeah. I didn't just come up with it out of the blue.

 

[Sean]

And I say all this, not in vanity or narcissism, but in an effort to reach out...and find our commonalities. We are not so different after all. Know that...it is the truth.

We're very different. If I thought I was even remotely like you, I'd kill myself.

 

[just pet]

Yeah. I didn't just come up with it out of the blue.

I do have a keen sense of the obvious

Is this story published anywhere?

 

[Recidiva]

We're very different. If I thought I was even remotely like you, I'd kill myself.

Well, you do both post on the same board. That's remote.

 

[Recidiva]

It's a long, sad tale filled with woe and waffles.

 

[poppy1963]

Pretty ancient hx in Lit time. However...look at the name of this thread. Speaks clearly of your...er...um...tendencies? I had to comment...from the sidelines.

Who, besides YOU, finds it necessary to declare your intention to "be nothing but nice for 24 hours"...Think about that, Jailhouse. Is this supporting some kind of "reputation" you cultivate to woo the most unruly GBers?

Get real, man! You are not that mean....now Sean is mean...and Kyle is mean.

You're not that mean...why wish to look so? Armour?

 

[Sean]

Well, you do both post on the same board. That's remote.

Are you trying to get me to commit suicide?

 

[Recidiva]

Are you trying to get me to commit suicide?

Again, folks should see above re: Never taking a vow of not being mean.

 

[Flyin_Free]

I do, sweet...and I have commented on it. But that 1% is fierce...and I find it curious.

It's like a fly or a mosquito. If it's buzzing around you you can ignore it for a while, but eventually it annoys you enough that you smack it to get rid of it.

 

[poppy1963]

No worries, there, Sean. We are nothing much alike except both Irish...bain of us both no doubt.

 

[Sean]

I did it for a night once. The strain nearly killed me.

tizzy? lol. I don't buzz him much. I rarely even read him.

 

[poppy1963]

tizzy? lol. I don't buzz him much. I rarely even read him.

But I seem to have a swarm about me here...and I wonder.....WHY????? hee hee!

 

[Recidiva]

I did it for a night once. The strain nearly killed me.

Heh. There was an episode of Malcolm in the Middle where he gave up being sarcastic and got an ulcer.

It's ultimately not in my best interest, why would I do it?

 

[Sean]

But I seem to have a swarm about me here...and I wonder.....WHY????? hee hee!

Because you're an annoying fucking retard that's disliked by nearly everyone?

 

[poppy1963]

And here is an example - the rose, the 'love' - when someone has taken the thought to be genuine.

I swear to you, Olivia. Those things express the way I'm feeling. I bear no harshness on anyone here at all...not even Sean. We all walk in this world in a field of poppy-covered land mines. That's why I befriend the Poppies...so that they will help me in my steppings.

 

[Olivia_Yearns]

But I seem to have a swarm about me here...and I wonder.....WHY????? hee hee!

And here is another example of the same.

 

[Sean]

I swear to you, Olivia. Those things express the way I'm feeling. I bear no harshness on anyone here at all...not even Sean. We all walk in this world in a field of poppy-covered land mines. That's why I befriend the Poppies...so that they will help me in my steppings.

I find the image of you stepping on a landmine VERY appealing.

 

[poppy1963]

Because you're an annoying fucking retard that's disliked by nearly everyone?

I am disliked by the few posting in this thread, Sean. You all are far from the world at large...lol. But this is your lesson, grasshopper. And it will be a hard one for you I predict.

 

[Olivia_Yearns]

they may express the way you are feeling poppy, but they ignore entirely the content of what Freya said to you. She articulated something that had meaning, and your response was a non response - a schoolyard response.
