Logorrhea follows... x[<br /><br />Re, the "Book Club Affair" <br /><br />If a commenter finds the atmosphere welcoming enough to share some personal stuff, it's refreshing to see the supportive remarks that often result. What is NOT refreshing is to see such bright people form cliques like 11-yr-olds, sneer at one another, take sides when someone throws a hissy fit, & even push buttons to revive a flagging cyberdrama.<br /><br />It's embarrassing when adults direct mean ad hominem/feminam remarks at one another (even if your mom didn't save your 5th-grade Diary... Tho I still suspect forgery, re-reading it <i>was</i> educational ;). Personal insults, cross-commenting about 3rd parties, etc, all pollute the communal well. <br /><br />See, most of us humans DO tend to be "thin-skinned" when insulted by name. Some fly off the handle right away; others try to be Mature, & suppress irritation or hurt... And a few days/a week later, odds are some trigger (calculated or thoughtless) will reheat the injured parties' anger. <br /><br />If the issue wasn't resolved, it is hard not to blow off some steam in passive-aggressive comments. The exchange of insults & rebukes resurfaces; someone provides exposition; & then, we're visited by that worst of all evils in the realm of entertainment: a f*cking sequel.<br /><br />After reading thru in hope of a resolution, only to see the combatants exit in a huff--& a dissatisfying epilogue by a chorus of remaining commenters, who critique the fight & fighters--it's time for a CDAN Holiday. Within a week, tho, the imbecilic, illiterate, & revoltingly offensive comments on other sites drive me back here--to the shameless gossip-nerds, closet Lit grads, on-set/behind scenes folk, genial perverts (TGI--FFF! ;), Fierce Grammar Crusaders, & fellow nutters on CDAN. <br /><br />Maybe, next time a string threatens to revive the latest mud-wrestling match, I'll imitate the wiser commenters by shutting the !@{$#% window & moving on. ;-]Bitcahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06295139614328745513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-23551508199031874152014-08-19T18:43:20.279-07:002014-08-19T18:43:20.279-07:00+++1 fucking million @Rowdy and Kitty...you are tw...+++1 fucking million @Rowdy and Kitty...you are two articulate mofos :) BeckyMaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05094968760294699359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-44917700765883172682014-08-19T17:43:27.019-07:002014-08-19T17:43:27.019-07:00@Kittyhawk High Fucking 5! I am one of those disab...@Kittyhawk High Fucking 5! I am one of those disabled, pretty lonely and depressed people that spend a lot of time online. And I'm not that old (at least I've been told 38 isn't old). I've got one good hand and it's not my natural side, half of my brain fried itself and to top off the stuff the stroke caused me those troubles, I need both my knees replaced (but no way I can afford that even with insurance). I never really complain when people say stuff to or about me because I too start my share of shit. But I want to go on record and say that I never say any of the "mean" stuff I say with a straight face. I'm never really serious (except when it comes to blinds about kids or the things I do for them like the 4th of July, Easter, dressing as Super Heroes and going to the hospital to visit them (I have to load up on pain meds to do it, but it's worth it. I stop for a few days before so I have a few extra to take those mornings), those type of things, then I'm dead serious), you know the old saying "If you're not laughing you'd be crying"? That's me in a nutshell.<br /><br />We ALL need to chill and quit taking shit so fucking seriously. It's a damn gossip site. We're supposed to be making fun of NBC for giving Jimmy Fallon a talk show or wondering how the hell movies like "Let's Be Cops" get's made, not bitching and talking shit about other people on the site. <br /><br />(Deleted previous comment because I left off the words "those troubles" which made the sentence read "...the stroke that caused me." Completely different without those two words lolRowdyRodimushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15710952854657207675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-73628068962888471072014-08-19T17:36:16.604-07:002014-08-19T17:36:16.604-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.RowdyRodimushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15710952854657207675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-36544172144142270662014-08-19T14:37:07.230-07:002014-08-19T14:37:07.230-07:00Crikey!Crikey!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-51095567877547670622014-08-19T14:24:22.371-07:002014-08-19T14:24:22.371-07:00Well I just lurk mostly maybe commented 3 times be...Well I just lurk mostly maybe commented 3 times before, so I don't have anything at stake nor do I know anyone involved in this drama even as cyber-characters. What I am good at is pattern recognition. I did see the drama posts Lady H linked to. I can say I noticed riven standing up for what she (sorry if I got gender wrong) perceived as bullying. Perhaps riven has issues but Derek if you're at all a kind person that wants to contribute some good to this messed up world we live in, that in itself is enough to lay off. What you said about laying off adderall is not cool for example. You don't know others' medical history and should not judge like that. Its not just about riven either, there are many many more readers than commenters. Just in this post alone you called someone else weird or cabbage patch looking. Again uncalled for. Why say negative things about appearance at all when we know so many people have issues with body image. So that's what I will say, I am a stranger and you don't have to take my advice but your friend Tricia said some similar things above. It wouldn't hurt you to put a break on the insults. I did notice you do mention peoples personal attributes when you're mad or irritated in a lot of posts, and that's just not kind, whether it's their mental illness, gender identity, or how they look. And all those people saying to riven to toughen up and not expect anything different from comments on the web from strangers but it's not just about riven. There are many readers who may be sensitive, lonely, or disabled so they spend time online and for them this kind of attitude is disruptive. I'm just saying why not let it go even if you're convinced you're right. I am older and have been through so much that your comments don't bother me personally even though sometimes the attribute you're making fun of or pointing out in an unkind manner applies to me - I don't care but I can envision younger people or weaker people going through a rough time at the moment may be affected negatively. I hope you guys can think about that too, it's not just about riven overreacting (I don't know that she is, I don't follow the convo every day, but just long enough to notice some patterns about the talkative commenters - so Derek, I hope you think about this a little at least, though of course you can ignore the 2 cents of some stranger. I just wanted to suggest being kinder as I have been through a lot in my life and I came to the conclusion that if we can make the world a bit less hostile by holding back at times, at least not make it worse, why not.<br /><br />Kittyhawkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12909633786145211967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-39070613681169727632014-08-18T18:30:06.658-07:002014-08-18T18:30:06.658-07:00+1 Audrey...there are MANY people with alts on her...+1 Audrey...there are MANY people with alts on here but Riven and TTM are not among them...
