The SCOURIES reader – for both fans and serious scholars…

[BOSTONFICTIONWRITER]

Okay BFW, but have you ever thought that all this IS THE THERAPY?

People come here, fuss at each other, get out frustrations they can't get out in the real world. You're right. If you really get pissed about it, it's your problem. But... I'd much rather see people doing it here than screwing up their real lives.

For me. This place is therapy. I like the people here, and I usually just read this thread to find amusement. My mommy taught me a little rhyme...

"sticks and stone may hurt my bones, but words will never harm me..."

I suppose it's true if you simply just add "Only if I let them."

Yes, I certainly agree with you that posting here can be theraputic. I don't like in fighting. I know in my case, every time I make a post, I'm attacked by the same emotionally disturbed ones. We all know who they are.

I would love to come here and feel welcome. I would love to have a place to post when I'm not writing stories.

 

[BOSTONFICTIONWRITER]

We're probably all a little weird... writers usually are. (And look at what we write )

How are ya DK?

Without doubt, we writers see the world differently from those who don't take the time to reflect on how to write what we just saw or just imagined.

Moreover, what normal person can sit alone long enough to focus on his or her story. I'm proud to be a little weird.

...Yet, I don't understand some of the newer members jumping on the band wagon and starting shit with Scouries. They don't even have a beef with him. They are the ones who are ruining this site with their junior high immaturity and emotionally disturbed nonsense. They are the ones that all of us regulars should shun.

One person in particular has only been here a few weeks and has amassed more than 1,100 posts. Just as there are those who can't imagine writing more than 550 stories in 20 months, I can't imagine someone posting non-sensical shit that many times. I've been here nearly two years and don't have as many posts on the forum boards.

Yet, all of her posts are mean spirited. There is nothing of importance that she writes. She is poison to this site. Certainly, she has some serious issues....

Oh, Fredster! Does this mean you don't love me anymore?

I'm kind of happy with those 1,100+ posts you know. Each one of them signifies an opportunity to make new acquaintances and friends. Are you familiar with the word "Friend" Freddie? I might suggest that you buy a dictionary and look it up, seeing as how it appears that you don't have any.

Now I know that most of my posts aren't as "intellectually stimulating" as yours. I am SURE everyone just can't wait to read your philosophizing over 1 bombs and other nefarious imagined plots against you.

You might be right, though. Maybe I could make better use of my time reading and voting on each of your stories, hmm? And while I'm at it I can keep you busy deleting all of my comments? That's certainly something to consider.

But, I'll tell you what good buddy; if my posts are bothering anybody else, other than you, Scouries and/or Sarahhhhh (and sundry alts), I'd like to hear. You see, I pay attention to people that I admire and respect. You, I just disregard.

My suggestion... lurk in some of the other threads. Say positive things or say nothing at all for a while. However, I think that you find amusement from writing your diatribes just as others find amusement commenting on them. Think about what you really want. If this isn't it... change.

My personal opinion... Take this thread over. It was quite amusing when you did. People liked it.

 

[Stella_Omega]

I can understand some of the long time members being angry at Scouries for some of the things he has written about them in the past. Yet, I don't understand the hate.

Continued anger? Disgust? No apologies? No sense that he's ever going to stop?

Some of the things he's said have made me want to vomit. They are not even the things you would notice, I'm sure. He's talked about lesbian women wanting to have sex with him, for instance. It's so disrespectful, and a prime example of the reason many lesbians would sooner kill a man than sleep with him. You won't get it. You'll just have to take my word for it-- it is NOT FUCKING FUNNY.

NOT FUNNY.

NOT FUNNY.

Not the kind of joke I will laugh at or forgive. Ugly and hateful and nauseating. Perhaps someone joking about fucking your sister makes you giggle, i don't know. Maybe some guy jokingf about fucking you up the ass comes close to my reaction to scouries's "jokes".

Get it? Probably not, huh.

Yet, I don't understand some of the newer members jumping on the band wagon and starting shit with Scouries. They don't even have a beef with him. They are the ones who are ruining this site with their junior high immaturity and emotionally disturbed nonsense. They are the ones that all of us regulars should shun.

Maybe because it doesn't take more than one or two posts from him to turn anyone against him.Even though he hasn't insulted them personally, it's pretty easy for anyone to figure out what he's going to say if he does turn his attention their way. Like, a biting dog is just fine until it bites you?

As far as I'm concerned, Scouries keeps his posts to his thread. As far as I'm concerned, the people who post to his thread, even when he clearly stated that he didn't want anyone posting to his thread are the trouble makers.

An opinion you share with no one else, I think.

Leave the man alone, especially if you don't like him. Other than to fester your own emotional lunacy, why would you continue posting to his thread?

Because he actually fools some newbies into thinking he knows what he's talking about. If you're so concerned with the good of this site, you'd see that. ...

It seems to me that Scouries is the only intelligent, well adjusted one here with a sense of humor. He makes his one post and gets all the children riled up and leaves.

Intelligent, yes, but well adjusted? No. Not even.

It's amazing that they don't see it. It's amazing that they continue to fall for the same trap over and again.

Now this-- I 100% agree with.

No, Freddie, he hasn't kept his posts to his own thread in the last few days. He's hurled insults at several people on two threads, all because he got a bad review. Are we all supposed to just sit back and allow him to keep insulting us? I for one can't. How is it we're trouble makers when we're merely defending ourselves?

And it's been said, over and over and over again, if he didn't want people posting to this thread, then why create it in a public, unmoderated forum? He's never answered that question. Okay, he has, but he answers it with insults. How proud his parents must be.

Scouries thread started out in the Story Feedback Forum which is moderated. The Moderator there moved it to the General Board. There scouries got his nuts roasted so it got moved to the AH, which is not Moderated and we're stuck with it.

That's a little disingenuous--to open up another thread attacking him (it would be pretense to claim that wasn't the purpose of that thread) and not expect him (and his alts, since that's his pattern) to post there. That was a venue and line of attack he didn't initiate. And, frankly, I didn't see all that much whining from him about the review--at least not the the extent that has been claimed. Some, yes, after there was piling on. But not for a while and certainly not at a higher decibel rate than had already been established by his detractors.

Sure it's tit for tat he invites. But the reaction isn't any more than any of his detractors would do under the circumstances.

Yes, the "don't post to my thread" issue is idiotic.

This is where I see a disconnect. Why was it moved to the AH just because Scouries got his "nuts roasted" on the GB? It's GB-quality material (if not topic). Just leave it there and enjoy hearing the sizzle.

I have the sorrowful feeling that it's because most of the posters, back when it was in feedback, were AHers.

But yanno, that's because AH writers do care about writing, and do offer feedback, and do frequent the feedback forum.

The GB complained about him... and Scouries then complained about being in the GB after they started having fun with him... So Laurel moved him.

Suppose this means Laurel might like the GB folks more than the AH folks.

Sweet baby Jesus! What henious crime do you have to commit to get GB's complaining about you?

I mean, hell, if you don't get a death threat every hour or so you need to check to make sure your computer is working right.

Maybe it means that we're more tolerant... Or we get off on commenting on his BS more...

Either way, it doesn't make us look too good.

GB said that it's a thread about writing, so it should be here.

Of course, it is about writing-- sometimes.

The thread lives in infamy.

Hello noobs, here is a few tips to avoid being being an asshat.

Listen closely. Read carefully. This thread has everything you need to know.

 

[starrkers]

The GB is no more moderated than the AH. If they can get a thread moved I don't see why we couldn't. Spam threads get removed.

Trouble is - where could the thread be sent? the Story Discussion Circle would love it, I'm sure (note sarcasm) and that's about the only "writery" place left.

Maybe laurel would make a little sub-forum for it, off of feedback?

Speak for yourself, selena.

Already did.

You know how to use the "ignore" button, Stella.

You know how to use the "ignore" button, Stella.

The ignore button removes threads started by the ignored-- but only collapses their posts in other people's threads. nor does it prevent other posters from quoting their crapl, so you end up reading it anyway.

No.

thanks.

Are newbs that gullible? Maybe, but my thinking is that, yeah, this thread is a bit of a lure and newbs can get sucked in for a spell. But if they're paying attention with only one eye it becomes clear pretty quickly what's going on here. So, unless newbs complain and want to pass on a warning, I say let Scouries do what he do and be what he be. And if folks want to have fun mucking about here, that's fine too.

setting the record straight...

QUOTE starrkers If they can get a thread moved I don't see why we couldn't…

Huh? Are you on drugs? You did get the thread moved hon! TWICE! The Conformist moved it because he got over 20 complaints in PM’s and E-mails from AHers (according to what he told the boss) and seeing he couldn’t be bothered with “moderating” he moved it claiming it had nothing to do with Story Feedback. This was even though the boss continually posted reviews of his new stories asking for feedback. He also posted numerous suggestions for the bosses on which he asked feedback.

Our moderator, The Conformist, argued that the famed “Nipple Thread” was fully justified in having a place in the Story Feedback forum while the boss’s story review threads didn’t. Which was perhaps the most bizarre argument the boss has ever encountered here on Lit.

Thinking back I’m pretty sure that even you miss starrkers made a post arguing that The Conformist’s argument was pure hogwash.

I also remember that our friend robyn argued in a post at the time that the boss’s thread was fully justified in being in the Story Feedback forum given the other self serving threads that were standard there at the time.

As to miss serena’s suggestion that the boss begged for it to be moved back from the GB forum to the AH one I can only say she remembers wrong. During the week in question the boss lost the “thread” twice! We at ScouriesWorld lost it when they moved it to GB land and we lost it again when they moved it to AHland. He was not notified of either move! Both times somebody had to tell the boss where it was!

From what the boss heard later, the QUEEN (or perhaps manu) decided after the first move (which had been initiated by The Conformist) that the best place for the “thread” given its content was the SF forum but they weren’t willing to hurt the feelings of their good friend The Conformist and so moved it to their second choice for the thread – AH land.

And they were able to justify the decision given that a certain number of AHers actually complained about the unfair treatment the thread had received with the first move. They wanted it back! Mind you I suspect those defending the boss were the people who like fucking with their ‘supposed’ friend’s heads.

It should also be noted that the ROYALS generally like the boss’s suggestions. They’re still open minded enough to welcome viewpoints other than the run of the mill “toady-isms” they generally receive.

Of course that doesn’t mean they’re 100% in love with james r…..

Unlike many people who argue that the system of selling places on the NEW STORY page isn't fair, we at ScouriesWorld love it when an author pays the site to have his story placed near the top of the NEW STORY page.

It means that LAUREL and Manu will have even more money available to improve the site while also being able to maintain a steady growth in ROYALTY payments to the real authors that make this site so wonderful.

So thanks big guy!
