Backwards logic, ARs, and you!

[Daria Afterthought]

Every now and then I find a tard that does something to bother me. Its rare, but it does happen. Earlier today I had an exchange of words in world with someone who was highly offended by something I had said to someone on the flogs. They left me about 5 offline messages about how I'm a big meanie poo poo head and that sort of juvenile crap. Of course, I could have ignored it, but being my sleep deprived self, I replied "I could care less." Short and simple, hopefully got the point across. Apparently it didn't. Later, after I had logged off, they sent another offline message with the words "I smell something. Is it you?" I came on later to do some stuff and hang out with a friend, and replied to the message with "Is it bacon?" because, who doesn't love the smell of good awesome lovely bacon? Everyone loves bacon. They even have kosher and vegan bacon and vegetarian bacon flavored mayo. How bad is that? But I digress. The person in question responded with "Are you" which confused the hell out of me because I've been called many things in my life but never delicious glorious bacon. Of course, my reply reflected as such. The tard replied "you ned 2 lrn you som slang girl" so I immediately urban dictionary'd bacon to make sure it didn't mean something other than fried pork, and to my surprise, it didn't. Almost every entry said bacon = delicious. So I told her of my lack of knowledge to any meaning of bacon other than the kind you eat. She informed me she didn't appreciate my drama. I called her an attention whore. She informed me she was going to AR me for abusive words. Now, at this point she has harassed me about something not in world, told me I smelled funny, potentially like bacon, and wasted my time with not stfu'ing. How is it that people have this mindset of "its only harassment/libel/defamation/abuse when someone else does it!" Presumably, this person muted me. Not surprising, and I don't mind. But I'm pretty curious as to how people are so clueless and contradicting within a few sentences.

tl;dr why do people AR you for the exact offense they just commited themselves expecting results?

Mmmm (looks up thread) - no, I see only bacon salt and it looks good to me I want some...

tl;dr response:

because, they assume LL doesn't by rule of thumb generally investigate the relevant data.

also, why is it impossible to move the typing cursor to AFTER this smiley? (was meant to be directly behind "data.")

 

missing quote, eh.... oh well, re-read OP if needed... smiley... still... winning... URK.

is it "i could care less" or "i couldn't care less" ...i've always been confused bout that. seem's tha latter makes more sense, considering tha context in which it's normally used. but i've seen many ppl use tha former. so iunno.

also, i think bacon referrs to an authoritative figure, likes tha police... y'know, bacon -> pork -> pig -> cop. but i still don't get why that person would say that in this instance. lol. funneh story tho, thanks.

Well for sure the person who set out to get a reaction from the OP got a reaction from the OP! 100% satisfaction guaranteed there.

Personally I would have just muted them and forgot they even existed.

But another point to note is this; if that person were so juvenile as to really submit an AR to LL for whatever reason, what do you think LL's reaction would be? They would be laughing their little asses off. Also, while snivelling nobodies are submitting ARs for such trivial reasons, LL are getting swamped with all this nonsense when they really do have better things to do with their time. No wonder when ARs for good reasons are being submitted they get ignored among all those that cry wolf!

A little cross and frustrated on the OPs behalf though. (And I love bacon in any shape or form - had it myself today, with pork and tomato sausages, fried eggs and tomatoes. )

Take it from one who knows hon, there's no such thing as bad press as long as they speel your name right.  They could've suggested you were salt free free turkey bacon, to which there's in but only one real valid reply.

[Senkiya Zsun]

is it "i could care less" or "i couldn't care less" ...i've always been confused bout that

I finally found the answer to this not so long ago. "I could care less certainly" *looks* like the opposite of what you are trying to say and I hated its use ... until someone pointed out to me that there is a special pronunciation that goes with it: you have to imagine a sterotyped Jew saying "I could care less" in the same tone as "I should be so lucky".

It still doesn't make sense, I know, but at least it sounds less contradictory that way.

Hilarious. This reminds me of the thread last week where I called you out for being a forum troll. You didn't have the balls to address my comment in the thread, but instead you sent me obnoxious poorly written PMs that were laced with obscenities.

[Hunain Bellic]

Please copy paste said PMs for all to read.

*Rubs hands*

ButtHurt

An inappropriately strong negative emotional response from a perceived personal insult. Frequently associated with overt hostility towards the “aggressor.”

Getting your feelings hurt, being offended or getting all bent out of shape because of something petty or stupid.

It is a common ailment amongst losers on the internet. It is usually characterized by noisy whining and complaining after being pwnt or otherwise outdone in any minute and insignificant way.

 

[Daria Afterthought]

Baconnaise is a superior product.

[Eli Schlegal]

Exactly.

I don't support ChikFilA...the CEO is insane.

Is everyone in SL just a big giant pussy that loves to dish it out and then when someone slaps back they go crying to mommy?

[Roxy Couturier]

I wasn't referring to Daria..

[Daria Afterthought]

Go away debbie.

[Daria Afterthought]

Lies! I didn't think I was being that clever or witty. It was a bland conversation.

[Roxy Couturier]

Not everyone, but the ones that are, are vocal. It makes the population appear greater than it is.

"Is everyone in SL just a big giant pussy that loves to dish it out and then when someone slaps back they go crying to mommy?"

I don't have a mommy, and you don't seem to follow you're own comment, so - 'no'.

[Daria Afterthought]

Its wierd, I never AR or mute anyone. I don't see the reason to. Its just a pussy move. I can trust my lack of balls enough to (wo)man up for when the time comes to tell some tard: NO. The only ARs I think I've done were like 14 year old kids on the adult grid trying to making sex with everyone they saw. And I've reported all of two flog threads ever....and because both just degraded into LOLTURDCOCK type replies. Yet any time something the least bit confrontational happens in SL people seem to generally be like I'M MUTING YOU D: or AR sent...wait for your ban <3 (which never comes)

[Daria Afterthought]

I'm a 5'3 120 pound white girl with glasses, a self built computer, level 143 runescape account, and neurlogical issues. I feel like I should be the last person on earth to need to tell people NUT UP SOLDIER!

[Unklebob Hotaling]

You're getting OLD hahaha.

my mute has 1 person on it, i hear ya sister.

[Eli Schlegal]

Well that's probably because you didn't see the PMs. She was all kinds of butt hurt and she didn't get the last word either.
