Do you do the whole introduce yourself thing?

[SarahWho]

some places do and some don’t, so, like, just curious I guess :p

Topic

[Moonlight]

I don’t see why you can’t. We just tend to dick around amongst ourselves, derailing threads to make puns for several weeks at a time until we eventually learn each other’s names.

[SarahWho]

lol, well, in that case I’m Sarah. I’m older than I look so I’ve been watching Red Dwarf since the 90s but, like, mostly on video back then (the first series I saw on TV was series 5 which will always be my favourite, there are just too many great episodes in 5). I’m a massive Whovian if youre into labels on fandom, too. Just got through with a post grad in creative writing. I do a bit of modelling too.

That’s me ^^

[Phil]

I’m Ridley, and I’m the best…

…at being a big jerk who’s stupid and my big ugly face is as dumb as a butt!

[SarahWho]

Um, okay…

Forget to say above but I did do a kinda Pree inspired shoot once, but never did get around to finishing them.

[Smeg4Brains]

I’m Jason and I like it when they say “smeg”.

[SarahWho]

Why do you all sound like 14 year old boys all of a sudden…?! O_O

[Jimboid]

> I did do a kinda Pree inspired shoot once, but never did get around to finishing them.

If they were down, you could have just stamped on their head.

[SarahWho]

???

[Better Dead Than Smeg]

It’s okay — I have no idea what they’re talking about either.
You’re a writer? In that case, ‘step into my office’. Are you published?

[Jonathan Capps]

oh god please stop

[SarahWho]

Stop…?

[Dave]

“Would you like a wormdoo?”

[Ben Saunders]

please stop oh god

[SarahWho]

Stop WHAT??

[flanl3]

I nominate this thread for Hall of Fame status.

Stop it, Phil.

[Matt Damon]

Matt Damon.

[Seb Patrick]

My name is Otto
I’m playin’ Pablo

[Phil]

Step into my orifice.

[Smeg4Brains]

I’m Brian and so is my wife.

[Phil]

Do we do the whole combine three separate people’s opinions into one thing here?

[Pete Part Three]

No, this is the place to divide one opinion into three separate people.

[International Debris]

Stop WHAT??

Don’t worry, you’re just about the only person in the thread not being asked to stop.

[bloodteller]

can i stop too?

[SarahWho]

well this whole thing’s getting pretty retarded… I’m starting to regret ever starting this thread and coming onto this site tbh.

[Smeg4Brains]

Sounds like a new one for the recommendations section.

[Ian Symes]

Please don’t use that word in this way, otherwise I’ll start to regret you coming here too.

[bloodteller]

nice going on the idiotic gaffes front, sirs. the new forum member lasted almost a full 5 seconds there!

[SarahWho]

yep, I think I’m done, I mean all you guys do is attack the new people and never let up. I’ve got both anxiety and depression and I just don’t need stuff like this, so I’m out tbh…

[Ian Symes]

Ta-ra.

[Phil]

And NOW I nominate this thread for Hall of Fame status.

[bloodteller]

>all you guys do is attack the new people

i’m new, i only made an account about 8 months ago and nobody ever attacked me.

and honestly, from my perspective, this thread seems to be mostly friendly banter

[Jonathan Capps]

yep, I think I’m done, I mean all you guys do is attack the new people and never let up. I’ve got both anxiety and depression and I just don’t need stuff like this, so I’m out tbh…

You sound just like one of those social justice ppl trying to tell you what to do and how to behave … It’s not even funny anymore.

[International Debris]

Yeah I mean other than the awful use of ‘retarded’, I’m not sure anybody said anything bad in this thread. I’m somewhat confused to be honest.

[Phil]

>i’m new, i only made an account about 8 months ago and nobody ever attacked me.

I’ll deal with you later!

[Better Dead Than Smeg]

And of course being a dick to a girl with a medical condition is fine. Nice. Ian Symes objects to the word ‘retard’ when used to describe a situation and not a person, but is fine with users telling people to fuck themselves and yelling fuck off when faced with someone who simply doesn’t share the same point of view.

As for Jonathan Capps … the hypocrisy is hilarious. Maybe he needs to modify his behaviour.

Another girl whose name I don’t recall off the top of my head was made to feel incredibly uncomfortable too in a thread on the main page. She said as much.

I know this is going to provoke a slew of retorts. I’m probably not going to read them because I’m working and, honestly, I don’t have the time or the inclination to argue with people who behave like this.

Whatever happened to just accepting people for who they are, respecting other opinions even if you disagree with them? Heck, I could stand to eat some of my own words too. Sheesh, talk about a hypocrite. You live, you learn.

[Pete Part Three]

Yeah, be nice to the sock puppets, people.

[Jo]

Fuck off BDTS. You don’t get to use the I have anxiety and depression line as an excuse for using pejorative language. PLENTY of people around here deal with anxiety and/or depression, but they don’t hide behind it when they act like a prick. Don’t act like a prick and you won’t get treated like one.

[Phil]

We all feel terrible that we kept up our normal behaviors and didn’t try inserting our penises into a female’s avatar.

[JamesTC]

One of the first rules of the internet is when entering a community you should initially lurk to get a feel for the place.

The people in the first few posts were joking around in the same way they would in any thread. In fact this was covered in the very first reply in this thread: “We just tend to dick around amongst ourselves, derailing threads to make puns for several weeks at a time until we eventually learn each other’s names.”

React to normal forum behaviour with insults and offensive words (and don’t pretend it isn’t offensive or that there is a way of using it in a correct context) and don’t be surprised if that means you are treated in a different way.

Also: Hi I’m James.

[Smeg4Brains]

I think it goes without saying, it was all Matt Damon’s fault.

[JamesTC]

He does have impeccable timing.

[SarahWho]

I am NOT a sock puppet!!!

What do you want, my Twitter feed for the last ten years?!! How about my my ModelMayhem too!? I was about to say maybe I was wrong and I overreacted which can happen from time to time, and no I don’t want to go into why, but no I see I was right except for a couple of genuinely decent ppl.

Here’s my last modelling page, I started it ten years ago. Read the comments.

FFS.

[Jimboid]

Thank for your contributions gentlemen. See you at next week’s morale meeting. Marvellous.

[Dave]

Honestly I thought this was going to be a Faith No More thread.

[Ian Symes]

Ian Symes objects to the word ‘retard’ when used to describe a situation and not a person, but is fine with users telling people to fuck themselves and yelling fuck off when faced with someone who simply doesn’t share the same point of view.

Pretty much, yeah.

[Ian Symes]

Also, yes, Cappsy’s post contained a lot of hypocrisy. That was the point.

[Jimboid]

Also, welcome to the forum, SarahWho.

It’s a place full of embittered, dysfunctional bastards, but you’ll love them.

Well, some of them.

Well, one of them.

Maybe.

<</quote>>

[Jo]

What do you want, my Twitter feed for the last ten years?!!

Nah, I’m good.

How about my my ModelMayhem too!?

Ditto

…I see I was right except for a couple of genuinely decent ppl.

I find it amusing that you judge others as being not “decent” given your earlier language in this thread.

Here’s my last modelling page, I started it ten years ago.

Yes, this is definitely all about proving you’re a real person and not you attention seeking, again.

Read the comments.

Nah, still good.

FFS.

Indeed.

[Jimboid]

Oh, be nice.

[Jonathan Capps]

I am NOT a sock puppet!!!

Pete was suggesting Better Dead Than Smeg is a sock puppet. Which he probably is. He’s got the tone of an old school troll.

And also the “please stop” stuff was also directed at him. Literally the first person to be a dick to you on this site was me, after this kicked off.
