Oh, and in the interest of making an on-topic post: I’d like to bitch about there being no ignore button, too! EVERYBODY I DON’T LIKE NEEDS TO KNOW I DON’T LIKE THEM! =D
A Goon in a Gaggle of 'em
Now I wish to bitch about fucking comcast. We got a third call from some sort of telemarketing scam thing. I looked up the number at it looks like they keep calling. So I decided to try to block the number. We get our phone service from comcast, so I when to our account page to try to figure out how to do this. I couldn’t. There was chat screen so I thought I’d use that to try to ask for help. I couldn’t get on the chat. It kept asking for info(some of which I had already typed in), but wouldn’t give me anywhere to type in said info. I gave up and decided to call them. When I did, they asked for our account number. We have recently switched account numbers (it had to do with with my father passing away). I accidentally gave them the old account number. Shortly after that, the phone cut off. Our phone and internet service went down. I had to reboot our modem. Our phones came back, but not the internet. We had to have someone come out to the house and fix that. Our internet was down for almost 20 hours. Apparently, when I gave the old account number, the jerk on the phone(whose accent I had a lot of difficulty understanding) reset something. Didn’t warn me. Didn’t try to research to situation on his end. How difficult would it have been for him to figure out that I had given him the wrong account number? But no, he resets something and knocks out our internet. This all happened merely because I tried to find out how to block a certain phone number.
FUCK COMCAST!!!
From all I’ve ever heard, Comcast is one of the actual worst companies to deal with ever.
It’s why monopolies are bad for the consumer.
Keep Circulating the Tapes.

This place. If I ever want to feel good about how I interact with others, seeing Off-Topic is a good place to start. I could write a whole book about What Not to Do™ based on this garbage heap.
Thanks for stopping by again.

Without a published ignore list, it’s the only way for him to express his dislike for you, inter alia.

No amount of ignore button is going to magically change things back to the way they were. The problem comes down to our members. We want people to stop bitching while we ourselves are bitching about others. We want people to respect each other while we disrespect other members in the process. We want people to stop being rude to each other while we continue to be rude to whomever we want. I can’t call Frink the “t” word anymore but others including himself can call people trolls all day long. Frink was asked to stop going after others about their posting habits yet I still found him in project threads doing just that. I reported him but he’s still here. You’ve got folks like warbler who demand certain people be banned but his own behavior isn’t exactly saintly.
This affects everyone. We can’t have our cake and eat it too here. Maybe what some of you should be asking for is a “certain members only” section so you can limit who gets to enter. This way you can probably still pick and chose which requests from Jay you want to follow as you do here in off topic.
In the end, I don’t think anyone figured that some members would come out of the woodwork because they were tired of the project threads being littered with some of this BS by some that resided mostly in off topic. Once it happened, the person who came was the problem, and not the person that eventually brought them here.
I was completely happy in the projects section of the site. I never gave off topic a real look. It was Frink and his incessant off topic meanderings about people he didn’t like in the project threads that ultimately drew me here. I reported him so many times in the project threads that I lost count but nothing ever changed. He kept coming and kept egging people on. I finally had enough so I came here. Now, magically, it’s my fault that off topic sucks.
Maybe we need to take a real hard look at what actually upsets us and why. It might help people take a look at their own behavior instead of always complaining about others.
FTR, I will say that I have had some fairly unsavory moments myself, mostly out of frustration. Since Jay made public requests for things to mellow I believe I have had far better conversation between some folks and less haphazard ramblings. To me that is a plus. It shows that adjusting ones tactics to how they post can help. If everyone took this opportunity to do so I think we’d see things change for the better and people who really need to be weeded out get booted.
Maybe you should take a look in a fucking mirror. You’re at least as responsible as anyone else if not moreso. And it’s only gotten worse since Jay’s warning.

tl;dr
’Have I mentioned that I don’t like it here? Because I don’t like it here. Frink dragged me here somehow. He’s a witch. Burn him!’
Normally I try not to get involved in these petty squabblings, but really Fo, calm down. I’m sure Jay and the mods have good reason for not banning people immediately because you reported them, and that they know what their doing.
.
I apologize to everyone for making Fo post in off-topic.
Did you use threats of physical violence or blackmail?
No.
I’m sure there’s a clever saying about when you think everyone else is the problem you’re probably the problem.
I know there’s one to the effect that if you get bad customer service everywhere you go you’re probably a bad customer.
Anyway, Fo, just stop bitching about this place so much. Just fucking stop. Don’t say it’s a double standard that you not be allowed to piss and moan, just stop. Do that and I think you’d be amazed how much nicer everyone (including Frink) would be to you.

Neither is your own.
My behavior may not be saintly, but I only return fire. I don’t start it.
I think’s there’s a profound difference between being nasty after someone attacks/slights you and being nasty because you’re an antisocial asshole.
Maybe you should take a look in a fucking mirror. You’re at least as responsible as anyone else if not moreso. And it’s only gotten worse since Jay’s warning.
Ahhhhh, I have already said as much. And I’ve heeded Jay’s warnings very carefully. You are very quick to subscribe blame to others but not so quick to take some for yourself. Your post is a good example of what I’ve said.

one could easily say the same about you.
- My behavior may not be saintly, but I only return fire. I don’t start it.
Ahhhh, I have said as much about my own behavior. You told me to “f&^k off” yesterday and I didn’t do anything to you. Our responses can be seen as “starting something” but if you noticed, I did not respond to your meanness. So that makes me bad?

You took what I said and made it about me. I said “WE” which I believe the dictionary defines as “all”. I’m not bitching about this “place”. I like the site just fine. I am also not here to indulge in some favorites competition. I have always asked that people be treated equally AND that people treat each other equally, nothing more.

Oddly enough, those posts you reported didn’t have this in them did they?
I really can’t wait until Jay brings the ignore feature back. The first person going on my ignore list is you.
Aww, c’mon, Blubbler, I’m standin’ right here…
go fuck yourself.
When we get singular about what we report nothing gets done. It takes 2 people and warbler is no stranger to being nasty or ignorant on purpose.
You can go fuck yourself too. Darth ID started this shit with me long before I said anything like the above to him.
Please click the expand button and see how things led to that. You sided with a troll that has been bullying me for multiple years on here and you called be nasty and ignorant. I suspect you did this, not because you honestly think Darth ID right and me wrong, but you did this to spite me because of all the problems we’ve been having with each other. So yeah, fuck you.
Our responses can be seen as “starting something” but if you noticed, I did not respond to your meanness.
you didn’t?
So that makes me bad?
You were bad before all this.
I think’s there’s a profound difference between being nasty after someone attacks/slights you and being nasty because you’re an antisocial asshole.
- Stop acting like your shit doesn’t stink.
I’m not positive but I believe Duracell was actually defending you.

I believe he’s using my quote as a response to Fo.

Nope. Wubbles just fell for my Darkside-Jedi Mind Trick:

You misread the post. I wasn’t responding to DuracellEnergizer. I was quoting him in my response to Jetrell Fo.
^ A likely story…

I’m quoting this because I’m quoting Duracell. LOL
