Here is the problem with this board:

Whenever anyone gets criticized, everyone checks to see who is doing the criticizing and who is getting criticized. If I'm doing the criticizing (for example), someone points out when they think I've acted in a way similar to the action I'm criticizing. Or they reach (and you never have to reach far) for something else I do that's annoying and try to hold that up. Okay.

When it's paigow, everyone can't wait to jump in and tell her why she's a looney. I understand this because she rarely makes much sense. And she doesn't understand the following, which is the point you've all been waiting for:

No matter what is being criticized, almost everyone on this board automatically thinks it would be hilarious to incorporate it into every single one of their posts for all eternity. It isn't.

And if you're still doing it 3 years later, paigow's right. You are trying to signal to everyone else that you know stuff that is particular to the board. But who cares about the reason? The point is, it is stupid, overdone and objectively not funny.

Everyone is guilty of this. I make no exceptions. But why is it that no one notices when it is no longer clever to say, for example, "For Fred's sake. Oh, Fred, you devil. Fredland. I swear to Fred. Etfuckingcetera." Not everything can be an FBism. "Timmy" survives because it was a clever way of summing up a certain type of behavior. People aren't using it to be funny. They are using it to reference that behavior.

In short, sometimes you have to let the fucking joke die already.

You should be embarrassed by this post. No one gives that much of a shit. No one gives a shit if you or anyone thinks she's funny. No one gives a shit if he's respected or not. No one gives a shit if she repeats herself. No one gives a shit about this little internet forum that you seem to hold in such high esteem. It's an insignificant outlet for bored people to post about things they don't give a shit about.

And if they do, well fuck them. Go find some real friends.



Happy Friday everyone. I love you all.
