She really annoys me too. She'll post just about anything that happened in her day. I remember that big long post she had about moving into her basement, or some such jazz.

TTT isn't your blog.

This drama as of late has made for good reading. Got some decent threads going.

But it really sucks to lose some good senior members on account of her mind-numbing posts.

[Plain Old Jane]

i agree but they obviously werent that attached if they didnt bother looking for the ignore button.

[Mr Biglesworth]

oh give me a break, i'm so sorry that all of your time and brain processes are so goddamn precious that you can't stand to be bothered by, heaven forbid, what's going on in a members life. Get off your high horses and recall the sniveling brats that you all were when this thing started. Now we're just stuck up and righteous people who don't even get along. chill, stop making issues, please

Hmm. I suppose you're right. When GT posts about his job or something, I usually read the entire post, and all the replies. But when she posts about her day, I get annoyed. I guess I'm just an old, withered, biased member.

I'm in the wrong, I'll admit.

I think the difference is that GT (and most of the rest of us) worked himself up from a person who we just associated with through video games (and other 'trivial' interests) and built up a common rapport with us through that. The difference between him and jep's friend is that we've known him for years on different levels, and he's become more than a person who we joke around with. A lot of us have been through many incarnations of this site, and we keep coming back because we have a special bond... basically we've sifted out the people who couldn't hack it and we're left with the people who we're really interested in associating with. and it goes beyond this, especially with Donnie, because he's the one who financially backs this operation out of the goodness of his heart... if for no other reason, we owe it to someone like that to give him our moral support, on top of which he's a good friend to all of us in many other ways.

Now the girl in question never tried to make herself part of the group. Instead, she did exactly what many other people here posted about: she used TTT as her personal blog and pedestal. So not only was it boring, it was unnecessary and annoying. Back this up with jep's support for her membership during a period when jep was not the most welcome of members (remember, there was a time when (s)he was even more vilified than now!) and you can see why she didn't come off smelling like roses for a lot of us. But who knows... she could end up pulling a Jesse if she decides to reassess what this board and its members expect of people who post here. But isn't she in college or something? She's probably already too set in her ways by now... tsk

I personally don't use the ignore function, unless someone is harassing me--which I haven't had a problem with.

1) I'm fine hearing about some parts of a person's life--if you had read my post, you'd understand that I know talking about offline experience is part of--but it shouldn't be the focus of 100% of their posts. Jesse said it perfectly: she treats TTB like her blog.
2) I'm the first one to admit that I was a sniveling brat, but that doesn't mean the last five years haven't changed me.
3) Taste does not a righteous person make.

She was an annoying bitch. No way in fuck am I going to let her use the victim card to get my sympathy or defense. We all have shit happen to us--even to the traumatic level of her shit.

I think she'll improve if she uses the Internet while she matures offline, too. God only knows I was worse, and I'm pretty tolerable now.

And I think she's 17 or something.

if you leave a message board ebcause someone annoys you then i have little respect and will not defend your actions. another message board i post on there was a particular member who would make personal attacks on members who were friends with the band and other members. he would post personal information about them, or just make fun of them. and he'd harrass them on AIM too. the worst thing he ever did is tell a friend of mine to just go ahead and kill himself after my friend actually posted that he was considering it.

what happened to him? he got banned, and no one left because of him. people tried arguing with him and he just kept at it until it got to the point that he needed to be banned. so if jep is such a huge fucking problem why hasn't he been banned yet? i don't think jep is nearly as bad as the person from the other board, not even close. if you guys really didn't want him here he'd be gone already.

and for the record, jep barely mentioned his gender thing, but as always a slight mention of it gets blown out of the water by everyone else.

[heX]

i will admit i use the "gender thing" as a tool to piss jep off. its a immature way to handle him annoying the fuck out of me. if it we up to me and im sure alot of other members he would be banned (wich he has been in the past).

It's not that we left solely because of her, shit. It's because she was the rotten cherry on our melted Sundae. Things haven't been so great around here.

First there was a lack of original content, and then it got obnoxious--and people didn't seem to care. I wasn't going to waste my time.

[malta]

God your a fucking bitch. Fuck it that word is too good. I don't even need to read your damn post.

SHE WAS RAPED BY HER FUCKING DAD.

[Stormy]

And? I understand that. People are raped every fucking day--I KNOW PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN RAPED--and they aren't annoying.

Look, yes, I can be harsh, and I have felt bad for a few of the things I've said. But you can't keep using that as a goddamned excuse. But she cannot turn to us as some sort of goddamned counseling service. We're just a bunch of strangers online; we don't owe her anything. I am sorry for overstepping whatever grounds I occupy, but I'm certainly not going to grouphug any obnoxious tendencies simply because of her dad.

If you're one of those people who thinks that she can do whatever she damn pleases while we have to kiss her black-polished toes while sidestepping anything, you won't help a her recover at all, if that's what she even needs.

I know people who have been physically abused and raped by boyfriends, husbands, strangers, and they refuse to use that as an excuse for any foibles (because being obnoxious online is a mere foible) in their lives. This is no exceptiong.

[malta]

"I KNOW PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN RAPED"

Same here bitch.

And as for beinG annoying. I can't say I've ever found her posts, WHICH YOU COULD SIMPLY IGNORE, nearly as annoying as having somebody in every damn post in recent memory BITCHING, PISSING AND MOANING and/or CORRECTING SOMEBODYS GRAMMER.

I could by my will find you as annoying as hitler. And you could the same to I. Fucking grow up. Everyone.

edit: alright I'm done. I'm pretty grossed out that I even allowed myself to be on the same level as your guys MIDDLESCHOOL shit.

But seriously, I agree with you Malta. If you don't like Merk or anyone's topics, just ignore them.

And stormy, if this place is so boring why don't you help out? There are so many people that just fucking complaing about this place all the time, yourself being one of them right now. But who tries to make this place better? None of the complainers. Give this place a reason to have discussion. Jesus Christ, Jep has made this place more fucking active than it has in recent memory because of simply making some posts that some people didn't like. And what's worse is that Jep is one of the few contributors of MEANINGFUL topics to this place.

Either leave or add something. I don't even have a history with you people, and I'm trying to make this place better than most of you are.

[malta]

"while we have to kiss her black-polished toes while sidestepping anything, you won't help a her recover at all, if that's what she even needs."

YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO A GODDAMN THING. THATS THE FUCKING POINT.

really, now I'm done, and going to sleep. Have fun stealing boys at the ice cream social.

[sharkz]

you're all annoying the fuck out of me. at least in the realm of these topics.

[Stormy]

That doesn't even make sense.

You seem to have some sort of pent up anger towards me. IF you had read my second to last post, you'd have noticed that I'm mostly facetious when it comes to merk, and I've admited to getting out of hand.

The reason I don't ignore her posts is because, half the time this place is dead, and the other half of the time is split up into quarters: with her, and without her. Basically, what else is there to read?
