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?

Fail Eli, the pms were stupid. I have the entire undoctored thing on notecard and if Roxy really aspired to see them, I would send them to her. (him?)

 

Silly Eli, you are a fail. You cannot be witty. You tend to fail. Besides, you don't even post.

[Daria Afterthought]

Ohnoes! I ARE NOT OLD!

[Unklebob Hotaling]

you still have a wonderful personality.  usually.  mostly.  depending on who you talk to.

age is just a number; til you're number's up anyway.

look at me, i'm old, and i'm fine.   

so... no worries.

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.

 

Well, she's not the one following -you- to other threads to prove how much more superior than you she is, now is she?

Its the bacon isnt it?

[Daria Afterthought]

[Daria Afterthought]

Don't bring bacon into this. It's had enough to deal with. <3

[Eli Schlegal]

I just thought it was funny that she was going off on people IMing her in world when she did the exact same thing to me in PM.

/me shrugs.

[Eli Schlegal]

no u

You really went to the trouble of putting it on a notecard?

Yeah..... kinda creepy.

[Unklebob Hotaling]

There's a logic in that... if something happens on the forum someone wants to address, what better place to address it than on the forum - PM'ing just a way not to bring dirty laundry or what is an issue just between two people into the public spotlight.  If something didn't happen inworld, why bring it inworld.

[Eli Schlegal]

I agree about not bringing things from the forum in-world. As far as the PMs go... if people are afraid to say something to me in public then i would prefer they just kept it to themselves.

[Unklebob Hotaling]

Agreed.  I might scrap on occasion with people here, but it's all good.  I've turned the SL motto "sh*t happens' into a RL lifestyle choice lol.

[Daria Afterthought]

Dude, you know as well as I do, everything I said to you in PM I said in the thread as well. You fail at making me look tardly. You are not yet Jedi enough for that.

[Unklebob Hotaling]

you might not look tardy but you still smell like bacon.

old bacon.

(oh wait, no nvm, my mistake, its my cologne)

Absolutely, why just the other day I told Bob he was old and smelled of crabapples. As it would be inappropriate on the flogs I PM'd it. Sending it inworld would be rude and stalker-like.

(okay. untrue... but we have spoken in PM when carrying on a tangent convo isnt necessary to do in public.)

Daria, I don't need a NC. I'm capable of sussing out fact from fiction.

And bacon is strong enough to survive.

[Daria Afterthought]

Bacon is delicious.

[Daria Afterthought]

I didn't think you would

 

 

And of course bacon can handle it. Food of the gods!

"Absolutely, why just the other day I told Bob he was old and smelled of crabapples"

HAHAHA.   Thats gonna be a smile on my face for the next hour that nobody around me is gonna understand.

/me pictures himself in his truck with a road full of oh so serious looking driivers meanwhile he's just a laughin his ass off smiling away.. and smelling like crabapples.

just for reference, this is precisely where the conversation degraded into petty name calling and slander.

in case anyone missed it

Oh, it was noticed, but intervention wasnt needed. Some trolls you squash like bugs, some you let run through the gauntlet because its fun to watch. Sort of like Wile E Coyote jumping up and down on a trap that's failed to go off. You know whats going to happen, but its so damn fun to watch.

Jumping the Shark...ok   this is a reference to an american TV show called "Happy Days"  Happy Days was about life in the 60's with a wholesome family called  the Cunninghams...starring Ron Howard and Henry Winkler as a sort of rebellious guy who rode a motorcycle...most likely a Harley Davidson...ther show enjoyed good ratings and was popular....ok.....so at the heighth of its popularity they ran an epsodes where Henry's character Arthur (Th e Fonz) fonzarelli jumped over a shark...whether on his bike or skis I don't recall...it was this episode...which was viewed as over the top ( or going too far in credulity)  and from then on   ..the show declined in popularity....hence.  "jumping the shark" refers to hitting the top of ones popularity and things going downhill from there after  (as best as I recall the reference)   )   sincerely Miss Moxie...the bacon loving agitater    thanks      In other words...jumping the shark is maybe taking an idea or concept maybe just a bit too far     oh and am I still in time out or whatever was suggested on another thread?

God Bless you Child.

It don't make me no never mind and there is no way I could possibly give even less consideration nor devote less of my energy to being concerned as to your feelings on that particular subject , having reached the nadir of my need to expend nor espose a scintilla of  care   ...the end

[AOXOMOXOA Ansar]

wowie Dude...you must like to live dangerously...look me up in world  please please please  I want you to rub bacon grease on me thighs and lick it off

[AOXOMOXOA Ansar]

I am pretty certain Daria does indeed not have balls )

[Pussycat Catnap]

There are some people who I have chosen not to interract with in world due to the poltics they've expressed in forums (and I mean expressly, rather than implications both sides might make in a debate. If you expressly declare a certain set of political ideologies)...

- But that's it. I don't take the arguments and discussions in world. I just tell myself "there is a person I could not get along with, no matter how hard either of us tried." I leave it at that, and simply don't bother them. I'd probably leave if I landed somewhere and found one of those people there, just because I'd feel awkward. But that would be it.

Not many people even that. Choosing to actively pursue someone inworld over something out, is just not a good way to go about things. But I have vented about a person inworld on an outsde blog...
