Glad you've gotten my point. Now perhaps we can actually communicate with each other in a manner befitting adults and not prepubescent teenagers. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Is this going to be an instance of when people take things that happened two three four five years ago and use it against them to run them off the board? [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Wait, was it five years or six? I can't remember now.

First of all, probably not. No one cares that much. I don't even know what the fuck this is about, as I wasn't around for it. Probably no one is going to provoke you (until you make a post like this one, so I'm trying to pre-empt it).

Second of all, no one can "run you off" this board. If you leave, it's because you got your panties in a wad about backbiting, when really, if anything comes of this, what you can do is ignore it and continue fraternizing with other posters who aren't harassing you.

So what I suggest is you chill out, ignore the very obvious baiting from Bamshalam (which you have already fallen for once), and quit posting in this thread unless you have something relevant to say about the actual original post.

And I'm telling you this in the nicest, firmest way I can. This is good advice. Seriously.

Good advice; thank you, InkWeaver. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Aggie, in a PM, wrote:

I was wondering if you could please tell me exactly why you felt the
need to use such passive aggressive nastiness towards me. I wasn't
aware that you harbored ill will towards me for whatever reason and if
I had known that I'd have been sure to avoid you on the board.

sweet baby Jeebus, lady, if you were any more tightly wound you'd be cutting off your own circulation

I thought I'd take it to PM so I didn't annoy the whole board with something that only refers to the two of us but if you want it to remain in public, that's fine with me.

Edited out bitchy post

I was wondering if you could please explain what you meant by that Ohh Ohhhh post. I really don't understand what you meant by that and I'd rather hear it from you personally that you didn't intend any overt nastiness (assuming you didn't) rather than just having to assume that was the intent.

As in, I wasn't aware that was who you were, but now that I think about it, I can see the similarities? As in, "Oh, I remember who that was and feel kind of stupid for not making the connection"?

Way to take two syllables and turn them into me persecuting your ass, man. If I had a problem with you, I'd say it. And actually, I kind of do now. I mean, you accuse me of "passive aggressive nastiness", you trot out the wibble face, and you claim I "harbor ill will" against you and say you'll avoid me because of it, and I'M the one being passive aggressive? Yeah, that's not offensive at all.

*sigh* When I gave you my advice, Aggie, PMs were included in it.

What's a wibble face?

That's a good way to get shot by General Melchett!

And yet none of you are complaining about how the evil men decide to buy gifts for their women? OH HO HO SHE MIGHT WANT SOMETHING TO MAKE HER FEEL WOMANLY AND I MIGHT BE MORE LIKELY TO FUCK HER BECAUSE A SIMPLE PIECE OF CLOTH MAKES HER SELF CONFIDENCE GO UP WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE OFF.

The only things you should buy for women are vacuums and rubber gloves for doing the dishes.

Don't buy them knives for cooking though. Every time I've done that, they've tried to stab me. Ungrateful jackasses. :redangry:

Buy me a dishwasher and then we can fuck all day; you are clearly neither enterprising nor intelligent enough to notice the most efficient method to get from Point A to Point B. The less time I spend doing the dishes, the more time I can spend as your tight Waffle.

I don't know why you're all hating. That list is exactly how I figured out what to get my "friends of color" for Christmas. And I'm pretty sure most of them visited "Stuff White People Like" for inspiration for my gifts. That would explain the Mad Men boxed set. You know how white people have a boner for the 60s.

And now she's running around reviving threads at four in the morning.

What kind of pathetic loser hang around a nerdy fanfiction site at 4 AM?

I'm too congested to sleep, what's your excuse?

Oh, wait, you're a grown man who calls himself Mikey. You don't need one.

OH WHY DID I NOT NOTICE THIS THREAD BEFORE

Timezones?

No - you weren't serious, right?

I'm off to bed in two hours. While most of you will be having all the fun - that's how it's always been...

There's not much else to do at that time.
