Why are so many of you people so angry

[Gus]

I don't spend much time on this board, probably a morning visit and an evening visit for half an hour or so, but I find so many people just blasting away with foul language and the most appalling insults.

Is this board some kind of therapy so that you are reasonably behaved with the rest of the world?

This is a genuine question and I don't need to be shown the other threads that are not full of abuse. My only concern is those threads that are full of abuse - often by the same small group of people.

Gus.

Hmm... I have to disagree. Yes, there is a bit of conflict occasionally, but I think you'll find conflict within any community. Many of the users of this BB spend a lot of time here - they've met friends, lovers, even spouses through this BB. Therefore, like any family, there's squabbling and hair-pulling, but for the most part it's a very loving group. Many times a user has come to the board upset over an incident in their personal life, and they've received condolences, advice, and a warm hug.

Lately, there's been some conflict, but it's forced conflict - people coming to the site to cause problems. They take advantage of the fact that many of us feel strongly about the site - they post rude insults to get a reaction. And it works. I'm guilty of reacting. Manu and I've been working 12-15 hour days regularly for a while now, trying to keep Literotica up and running while balancing our paying gigs and making some time to eat/sleep/shower/etc. So I'm edgy, and when I get insulted, instead of taking a moment and putting it into perspective I react instantly. I'm not proud of it, but it's true.

A side note: the new scripts are going to add loads of functionality and features to the site, making it easier to navigate our 4,000+ story archive (and growing every day, as we never remove old stories from our database). Once they're in place and tested, we're going to redesign the look and feel of the site - make it cleaner, sharper, more integrated. These are just the beginnings - we have so many plans for Literotica. We've taken all of your suggestions into consideration, and want to make the site everything you want it to be.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - the board moves in cycles. A week ago people were complaining about the LACK of conflict, now you're worried about the plethora of conflict, and tomorrow, we'll all be wishing for a little conflict to spice up the threads. Trust me - anyone who's been around here for any length of time know what I'm saying.

Hey Laurel, for once I know what you mean.

How boring would the current political campaign be with no conflict? Yawn.

Personally I find "conflict" intellectually stimulating if it does not become totally mean spirited. Besides, I hate Flagg.

 

[Laurel]

You do? Huh. Never would've guessed.

Campaign 2000, wow. Every day it's something new. Talk about dirty and conniving! Makes this BB look like a kindergarten...lol

 

[FlyByNyte]

Go BUSH! Ra Ra Ra... OH, you were talking about politics.. sorry... mind in the gutter...

-- Thank you, drive thru...

I'm angry because they didn't put any ketchup in my to go bag at Wendy's.

 

[Gingersnap]

Gus if you stumbled on the I hate Lasher threads and the dcl thingys you were tripping over your assumptions. If you are around the lit board long enough you will find that both these charactors give as good as they get. Well except I do not know nor do I not want to know what that means sexually.

Like all good dysfunctional families you have the whiners, the goodie two shoes, the slappers and the biters. I try to avoid the second but have done my time in the other roles. Hell if you are into writing it is a great souce of ideas and topics. As for the foul language I do not fucking know what you are referring to dammit.

So relax have a cough drop, refill your Prozac perscription and stop taking it so serious. If all else falls check the smilies to see what emotion is listed so you know how to feel.

 

[KillerMuffin]

I'm guilty of bein bitchy. Jumping to conclusions and being a real snot. I acted rather infantile simply because Gus pointed out where I was wrong.

Normally I'm not like that, I sincerely apologize. I promise not to overreact again, at least not until the next time. *sigh*

 

[Naked Hunny]

Eve sweetie at Wendys they only put ketchup in the bag if requested. The employees arent even supposed to ask!! Trust me i got written up once for asking if someone wanted ketchup!!

Why are we all angry?

Too much red meat.

Don't even get me started on Wendy's. I would happily string up Dave Thomas by his testicles with piano wire for the luck, or lack there of, that I have with that establishment. I am currently boycotting them, which sucks because I really like there food.

Ketchup, mayonaise, lettuce and pickles ..... HOW FUCKING HARD IS THAT?! Four frakin'times I brought it back and asked, nicely, for it to be corrected. When I got it back the fourth time and it was still wrong I mashed it in to the counter, even though I felt like mashing it in to the face of the skinny, pimply faced 20 something "manager"/idiot.

Hey KM, you already apologised on the other thread so take off that sack-cloth and ashes. One handsome apology is enough for anyone.

Gimme fat......lotsa fat.........I hate all this B.S. about Cholestorol........whatsit gonna be next, Low fuckin fat tires for the car? Yuppie Idiots.......I LIKE RED MEAT AND FAT AND BURGERS AND I'M GONNA JOIN KILLER MUFFIN IN EATING ALL OF THAT SHIT.......ESPECIALLY PORK!!!

 

[Expertise]

AMEN!

Gimme' some love WomanLover.

The "funnest" foods are the ones that have so much cholestorol that the hardening of your arteries is audible.

Am I wrong?

 

[Naked Hunny]

Exsqueeze me but i was a manager at Wendys when i was 18 and 19 and i dont get pimples so ha!!

 

[KillerMuffin]

Too much meat? *grinning wickedly* Muffins never mmmmm "eat" too much meat...

Seriously though, is this like a worldwide PMS epidemic or something? Is everyone else really that irritating? Does that stupid dog have to gnaw on my toes? Can't we all just sit around the campfire, sing kumbaya, and lick marshmallows off each other?

If you don't like something, say so. You don't have to attack when you do it.

For instance:

"Muff, I don't like it when you make fun of Sparky Kronkite's name. Its getting a little old, you should move on."

as opposed to

"Muff you fucking nazi bitch, enough is e-fucking-nuff already. Fuck leave the man alone, he's an asshole but thats his fucking name no matter how fucking stupid it is. You don't like this by I don't give a fuck cause you're a bitch."

Which one do you think is going to get the results? Which one is going to make me get Killer and say icky things?

To paraphrase our own beloved Isabella..... Midol?

Naked Hunny this clown was a walking talking industry stereotype.

Right down to the zits, bad haircut, loafers and oversized highschool ring.

 

[Naked Hunny]

Nope i was the cute manager!! I had my pigtails my boots with three inch chunk heels and my tongue piercing!! Try again!! OH yes sweetie and i only wear diamonds and sapphires oh and the occasional emerald

 

[Expertise]

NH I assure you I would have shown you much more patience and tolerance. Besides your obvious intelligence would have prevented it in the first place.

Enough blatant sucking up?

 

[Naked Hunny]

Trust me sweetie ive had my fair share of food thrown at me but its because some customers think fast food means instant food and its not there is sometimes a 5 minute wait but its supposed to be Hot and Juicy

 

[April]

I don't mind waiting, as long as what I ordered is there. Nothing extra, nothing less. I'm one of the nice customers. I always say thank you, and please. I don't get mad, but if my order is wrong, I just won't go there again for a while.

What really pisses me off as a customer, is when there are several employees joking around in the back, and there's a line out front. It happens a lot around here.

 

[Expertise]

I was nice. Until the end.

I just have a limited tolerence for incompetence and stupidity.
