Cliques (Page 2)

ok, i can't spell.
it's braun...not brahn

oh well.

this "stalker" is logging off for the evening....going out and getting my ass away from the computer.

LOL

Stop begging, its not sexy. 🙂

You're a meanie Lady M.

Right I'm off to bed to dream of me and Bran doing things to eachother.

G'night you guys!

I THOUGHT THERE MIGHT BE AN ACTUAL REASON!!!!!!!! WHY DON'T YOU JUST CRUCIFY ME PEOPLE!!!!!!!

"You're a Leo, meaning you're an obsessive stalker by default."

And here I was thinking you weren't on to me.

I know, I know...sorry

I told a guy that once and it really hurt his feelings...but its the truth.

Bye

Bye, MellowDee. Perv.

No strings attached, hm? And why are they the best?

I am more the long-term type, muhself.

And most remain that way. 😉

Or not, I really have no idea.

"My money is on that you won't. But then again, you could be an exception amongst Leo women"

How intriguing. Bran.h., I already am and exception amongst Leo women. Obviously.

So since I frequent the Aqua AND the Scorp board more than my own board, does that make me a traitor?

yeah, i'm still kicking myself for letting that Scorpio get away... 😉

The Scorps like me....they really like me. 🙂

noticed what? that i'm well liked?

except maybe by Prime....but he has his moments, too.

you really shouldn't get so worked up...

ok.

So Qless is an actual screenname on here? I thought Prime was just making a generalized slap at me.

Bad, HP, Bad.

"Notso, it is very easy not to like someone online. You may disagree with their views, their lack of views, or comments they make."

Why would you dislike someone because he/she disagrees with you? Isn't it the whole point of this message board-sharing different opinions?

"I won't bother talking politics on the poltics board. For one simple reason, Qbone won't allow ANYONE to have an opinion without his insulting them."

Well, why do you care what a random guy on the internet says?

Oh, so it's an American thing?

Makes them look like a retardo.

Haven't heard that word in a LONG TIME. 😛

Prime, the simple thing to do is ignore him completely. Isn't there a block feature on this site? I am surprised you haven't utilized it, what with all your rants with MellowDee and now this Qless guy.

I haven't had a run in with that guy. I hope to someday, especially if he's a Bush/America hater.

"Because it is nice to have a conversation on the internet without the trash talk. With him around, that's impossible. You can't have a conversation, he only wants to dominate and force his will and views on others."

But if you do keep quiet, the terrorists have won!

...Couldn't help myself...😛

OK, will do.

Bran-I'm not so sure I agree with the last paragraph-people are subjective and not always logical, when things start getting rough, an "They are different!" argument may sway some people.
That's in real life, at least-I don't really see a problem discussing such things on forums.

Maybe it should be allowed just in a controlled enviroments, like debate clubs or something.
Still, I'm not sure.

"You aren't really offending anyone by pointing out the obvious."

A lot of people are, I have a lot of experience on the subject.

Could you guys stop "trash" taking users who are not on to defend themselves. It is an incredibly low down thing to do. The discussion started touching on the question of whether cliques exist or not. But then primegen started naming names.

I happen to have nothing at all against Qbone so when someone else is "trash talking" him I take exception to it. I have found him always to be pleasant and very helpful when I have sought advice. He may well have said something to annoy you primegen but you need to realise that you are just one out of many users on this board who have opinions that may often differ from yours. This doesn't mean you can moan about them and use other threads to belittle and demean these users. Ironically this is a good illustration of the crap side to cliques.

And while this thread is actually on topic for now I will say that when users try to back up their opinions, comments and mindsets by mentioning other users, that is resorting to clique-ism to imply that you have a group of other users behind you in what you say or what you think. Primegen uses this technique frequently when he is trying to put other users down. He has used it with me to try to convey how he he right and he has the support of all his comrades in some disgusting things he says.

This aspect of clique-ism is not constructive and might deter users from feeling that their opinion has any validity unless they get some kind of recognition or respect from other users. They certainly shouldn't feel that or let it stop them from saying what they think and I say that all users shouldn't give 2 shits if another user is bad mouthing them and just go ahead and say what's on their mind and exercise their freedom of speech

You're missing the point I'm making which is that it is cowardly to bitch about people when they're not there because you are painting a completely 100% biased pciture of this person based on your own subjective resentments and grudges. That is pretty cowardly imo. Before you started a rant aimed at certain users it was an objective discussion about cliques on the board.

And me liking Qbone has no bearing on his rows with you. The fact that you cannot differentiate these 2 situtions and treat them seperately is your problem not mine or Qbone's.

Once I disagreed with Qbone and he wasn't all that bad with the name-calling.

Here we go again...

But I haven't seen many of his interactions...politics doesn't interest me so much

LOL Yama...thats what i'm thinkin..

Well Q was actually nice to me, but I havent disagreed with him yet.

*covers ears* la la la la lalala laaaaa

wow, look at all the sunshine and pretty flowers and reasons to be happy and not insult onw another...*sigh* life is gooooooooooooooooood

Everytime you two argue, a puppy dies.

Think of the puppies.

*cuddles puppy*

Aw, how adorable. Do you really want it to die in my arms?

*holds out adorable widdew puppy for MD and primegen to see*

Well just look what you've done to this precious kitten.

how do you live with yourselves?

PRIMEGEN YOU'RE A SUPER-SNOOT IF I'VE EVER SEEN ONE POST ON A MESSAGE BOARD!!!

Deep down I'm jealous because I wish someone would take care of me that well. *purrrrr*

An incredibly snooty person. (duh)

Because you have a crystal chandelier and maids! And your cats have toilets amongst a dazzling array of other fine luxurious feline amenities! Good gracious, man.

And how about those incredibly creepy caves in your backyard? Not just ANYONE has those.

All cats need their own "toilet". My cat has his own little room, albeit it's the laundry room, but he knows it's his. His litter box is in there. He has 2 beds - one in the living room behind one of the sofas and the other is in my bedroom near the front window. Plus, he has a window perch where he'll lay on and watch the birds and other things of interest.

My cat doesn't eat "human" food. He's strictly Iams.

Primegen, you don't have to justify or defend your snootiness to anyone. I's just pickin' on ya. (super snoot)

I take my Siamese to kitty daycare once a month. He gets pampered and groomed. Check out his picture on my profile. He's a beaut!

"Please, I'm exhausted. No more pictures."

Yeah, snootiness is certainly relative, and I'm a college student living in a dorm who gets paid $ 80/week at a crappy part-time job, go figure. 😛

that kitty is beautiful 🙂 look at those eeeeeyes! aw I love kitties

That's Mr. Maxx. He's think he has it rough. LOL

I rescued Maxx at the SPCA in Austin. He was neglected and abused by previous owners, so it took a while for him to trust a human again. He put on weight, his coat got shinier and his love is endless now! He's a sweet boy.
