Title: A few pet peeves
Post by: Mesozoic Mister Nigel on September 22, 2010, 07:46:46 PM
"The forum is ruined" because:

1. "You people aren't doing anything awesome, and what you're doing instead is stupid and worthless."

2. "Nobody joined in my thread/project, so you guys are assholes and suck. I'm deleting what I posted and never posting anything again."

3. "It got quiet in here; I guess nobody cares/the board is dead."

All of the people who have posted some variation on one of those lately, which is quite a few. Yes, you are among them, and I think I already said so in another thread. But you are far from the only one. Among the lazy, useless fucks you paint with a broad brush when you pull stunts like that are people who are having a really hard time, and you don't know who is and who isn't. It's becoming a recurring theme on the board lately, and I think it sucks.

Well, well.

Possibly I am having difficulties as well, but don't let that get in your way.

Oh, dear, I have failed to live up to your standards, whatever will I do now.

Maybe you are having difficulties. Maybe EVERYONE is and that's why the board is slow/lacks awesome projects.

When you, or anyone else, goes on a diatribe about how nobody's posting anything or doing anything cool or useful, they are indirectly attacking the whole board, including everyone else who is struggling. Including me, Jenne, Pixie, and who knows who all else. So, you know, sorry I didn't see/don't have time for your pet project, but if you feel the need to insult me for it, you (generic you) can suck my dick.

I have to throw in here, because it does bug me.  "Thread ruined" is way too common a phrase, and it's a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Of course I could just spend my time in OB bitching about how shitty my life is.

Yeah, it never stops being old.

But it's particularly rubbing me the wrong way right now because I ache all over, I've had one bad hit after another for the last couple of weeks, and for fuck's sake, I'm sick of being told I'm not doing it right/not doing enough. And there are other people here who are struggling harder than I am. We don't all have desk jobs, unemployment checks, or a bounty of time and energy to spend on the internet. WHEN WE DO, we will rejoice, and work on more cool projects and social justice etc.

But maybe all it means is that I should fuck off from the board until I have money and time enough to make myself valuable here.

It's just that you also have endless free time to spend bitching about how shitty everyone else is too, apparently. Fuck you.

This is true. It's not ALL ABOUT CHARLEY. His small contribution of blame and petulance is but one granule in the desert of irritation.

.

I especially agree with the bolded part.

Also, I guess I don't really fit in with the typical PD spirit in that I neither like or thrive off of conflict. When the atmosphere is pissy or abrasive I don't like to post as much. Please feel free to laugh at me for preferring a kinder, gentler board.

I'm not here to change the world, I'm just here to hang out with a bunch of cool and smart people.

I'm with Nast on this. I appreciate what people say and think here and have no need for everything to be Profound or whatever.

This board is different than when I lurked and since I've been here. The reason for that is simple: it's a different board. Lots of people who used to post here don't and there's a crapton of new people, me being one of them.

It's just a different vibe, man.
           /
:hippie:


And you know it's still the only board I care to post on because it still maintains certain principles. Avoidance of the ban hammer, no censorship, honest (if scathing) feedback.
I still think this place is pretty bitchin'.

Even if no one cares much for my recent WOMPs.  :sad:

You know, I really do like this place and the people here.

My pet peeves are what I said they are; peeves. They are getting on my nerves, and I'm kind of taking those comments personally because I KNOW I don't have the time, energy, or resources I once did to work on stuff here, or even to post here.

But it's the COMMENTS and the attitude that I hate, not the people who say them.

0.K.

          recently i've been hankerin fer a hunk a family feudin thread, to do some cut-up fun/ splicing/ re-arrangement writing fun. cuz i enjoy that. but i'm bummed because this lacks the piss n vinegar to go the necessary two dozen pages to make that kinda writing project fun.

REALLY

          the only folks who bitch and whine like what the OP is after, are the folks who pretty much hold the board together while all the change comes n goes. You, NIGEL, of all people (!!!) ought to understand the need for crabby senseless aggressive meltdowns. it never goes anywhere, everyone tries to figure it out, it morphs a little and then it turns into soft porn. hotel principiadiscordia.

INITIALLY

          i thought the OP was meant to be ironic. because it's bitching about bitching.

I was going to just leave, but I have too many things going on here right now, so I can't.

So this is to address Nigel, and all of her knowledge of me and what I do all day.

Yes, I do post things in OB, and for the most part try to make light of my issues. Here's what I don't say. I have time block losses. About 25% of the time I have to go back and see exactly what I posted. These are a result of the medications. I also have several mini seizures every day.

And while in your words I am sitting here doing nothing all day, I am actually writing my book, cleaning the house, paying bills, going to the store, taking care of 4 animals, preparing meals and any other number of things that come up during the day.

I can hardly move because of the constant pain. It requires a great deal of work to maintain my concentration level at the point where I can function.

As far as my collecting unemployment, yes I do. What choice do I have? I expect disability to be approved any time. Again, what choice do I have? You are the one who chose to be self employed, so don't blame me for it. Sorry your life is so shitty.

I had to deal with that when I was self employed.

I expect you to go all fucking emo about this post so have at it. I have removed you from my fb friend list and I will hereafter completely ignore you here and elsewhere our paths may cross. I don't need this shit in my life right now.

In the future, if you don't like what I say, then ignore it, or don't. Makes no difference to me at all.

But don't think you know anything about me, you don't.

You and a fuckton of other people. Which is what has sent it skyrocketing to the top of my list of shit that makes me not want to spend what little free time I have here. I know I'm not contributing much of value to the board right now, and I don't even love being told how much I suck because of it. I think that you, Charley, Vexation, and Cramulus have all pulled some variation of one of the peeves on my list in the last couple of months, and you're only the ones whose names I remember off the top of my head. Because I like you guys. Even though Charley apparently hates me because he thinks this thread is just entirely me trying to slyly, indirectly rag on him. :roll: Because that's, you know, so ME. Indirect and shit.

I can't speak for any of them, but I'm just prone to losing my shit.  I think I'm just bored these days.

(By "these days", I mean "since 1979".)

But I don't think you suck because you haven't been writing, or anything like that.  You have glass to make, a new-ish BF to be with, and a passel of kids to bring up.  I MISS your writing, but it's not like I PAID for it.

I mean, WTF is this?  Communism?  :lulz:

As far as anything else I've said or done, just chalk it up to me being an ass.  I seem to have a habit of that.  Or so my daughter says.

I'm glad you're not mad at me!

One of my local friends is pissed at me because I haven't been hanging out with her. She says I'm ignoring her texts and phone calls. I tried to make plans to hang out with her, and she never replied. Another friend thinks that because I told her that I'm not free to go have coffee or chitchat during the day because I need to work, that means I don't want to talk to her anymore.

I'm like, man, yeah, I know I used to have a lot of free time. And money. But I don't anymore, and it sucks. I'm not doing it on purpose.

This seems to be the standard disconnect people have when dealing with the self-employed.  It's also one reason many people fail at being self-employed.  Without a boss to stand over them, they can't make themselves work.

And they assume that your schedule is flexible, though every successful self-employed person I know keeps a fairly rigid schedule, for the very purpose of avoiding excessive procrastination.

So, yeah, do what you gotta do.  I miss having you around as much, and I miss your writing, but you have to take care of business first. 

We'll still be here when your schedule clears.  At least I will.

I am hoping there is an end to this shit. Me and my former acolyte were talking about a couple years ago, when we couldn't make as many beads as people would buy, and could sell them for whatever we wanted. I doubt those days will return, but I'd be happy with a middle ground. This recession is fucked.

Okay, I get that. But It serves no purpose, usually the arguments are over nothing, and no one has any fun. We just angry with each other for no reason, and so time which could have been spent doing something meaningful or at least having fun, is spent shouting at one another. I just don't see the point.

I don't contribute much on PD anymore, haven't done for months. It's not that I don't care about shit, it's more that I can't articulate anything in a way that's going to be in any way interesting to read. Accounting for the Lack Of Content.

I don't post much on PD anymore cause I have to share the computer with Pixie, and in the time I get I have to do job hunts and email reading and such. I could spend the time reading PD, but generally Pixie will tell me if something interesting is happening anyway. Maybe this will change when I get my own connect. Like a laptop or something, I dunno. Accounting for (part of) the reason why The Board is Dead.

Most of the threads recently that people have tried to start projects/ group action/ whatever in are either threads that I don't catch or do read and have nothing to offer (usually for the same reasons as stated above) Accounting for Not Joining In.

Now if anyone wants to complain about one of those things to the board in general, it's cool. It doesn't really bother me, personally, when they do. I'll apologise here and in advance, and refer them to the appropriate paragraph for my reasons.

In my experience, the board always has this tension in it. We almost all have a certain size of ego, many of us are above average in that regard. So someone is always going to get pissed off. And when all the bullshit aligns so that these complaints are indeed 100% valid, then it proliferates by orders of manitude. It always passes.

Hawk: don't take this shit so seriously, get back in here and continue doing your thing. We all love you for it, and we all think that your personal situation is shitty as all fuck. I'm absolutely certain that if Nigel could in any way ehlp you she would do it immediately and with such generosity that she'd probably end up breaking your ribs in a bear hug or some shit,.

Dok Howl: You have your Moments of Righteous Anger. It's cool by me, not that you need my approval or otherwise. I will always chase you up when you say you're going to stop ranting, or doing trolling projects or whatever it is. You are very much an essential part of this board - one of the Old Guard, and while some of the shit that happens to/ around you will inevitably change your perception of your Art and your Audience, I personally don't think I'd even still be here if it wasn't for you. By extension I would never have met Pixie.

Nigel: You put your finger on some of the worst problems that I've personally noted in PD lately. I mean I know they all pass, but it still irritates me that when I get a chance to speand some time reading PD all I seem to see is people sniping at each other and pissing each other off. I always expect to see some of that, but when it's as endemic as it gets some months (like round about now) it's really disheartening. I feel where you're coming from, and hope your schedule clears up soon. Like Dok Howl, I'll be here when you get back, too.

Meh, board trends don't bother me.  They're like water on a duck's back.  I get out of this place what I want.  I'm not in a place right now where I can do much in terms of contributing to projects, other than offering my experience and insight (for whatever they are worth).  And I don't really see that changing much until my kids get older.  So at this point, I come here mainly to socialize.  I've stayed because I've grown e-fond of some of you spags.  Some that were here before me and some who've joined since.  I like that I can come here and share a few nyuks and you spags will indulge me in that enterprise.  It helps me get through the day.

Sorry, this shit is out of hand. I made one fucking comment, which was rectified. I reeived some very excellent and professional help which I appreciate very much. I will have no personal gain from the help I received.

If even one person here is pissed about anything I have said then put up or shut the fuck up. Either way doesn't make a damn to me.

I am sick to death of this. Every post is like a fucking drama trap, just waiting for someone to jump all fucking over it.

0.K.,

         ECH, are you pointing out that NIGEL identifies the three of you as being guilty of the O.P.'s direction/ address? Because on that contention I totally understand what you're saying. You're pointing out the plain respect due for folks to have the right to bitch. I think I supported that notion in my earlier post directly to NIGEL.

I UNDERSTAND

         that there was just a handful of people who picked up the 'p.d. dot com' when it crashed and carried the concept far enough so that here, we all have it now. You and CAIN are both saying that you just don't have the time to put into the board what you used to & shouldn't necessarily be expected to be holding it up with your productivity.

YOU, ECH,

         also named DOK as part of that early movement. o.k.

IF

         you're saying that, even though you guys aren't posting every day and WOMPING all over, it doesn't mean you can't, again, bitch when you see fit -  i'm there.

LET ME

         just say, that to me, this whole board is spliced into categories, (art, politics, 'apple talk') - but because it more concretely comes down to the individuals posting, it's just one big appletalk in the end, and who's here is who's here.

I CAN'T

         be here all the time. no way. (crowd sigh). if p.d. were the sum of my goings on, i'd have no life. i can't possibly bring everything i have to offer to this board, even the reeaally cool shit. because my whole being doesn't necessarily translate to this board.

PART OF ME

         at least, does. and i like coming here when i can.

IS THERE

         an official manifesto which folks here are to adhere to, really? if so, what is it?

PLEASE

         don't tell me it has anything to do with the "principia discordia". i won't buy it.

BUT TELL ME,

         ECH, NIGEL - do you believe there are people who should "be here" and also can/ cannot do's?

Title: Re: A few pet peeves
Post by: Payne on September 25, 2010, 09:11:28 AM
I'm still not sure what you're saying half the time, but I'm gonna attempt a reply anyway:

ECH, I believe, was saying that if anyone levels those complaints at Cain, Dok, or Himself, then they need to choke on the reply button - post haste. Perfectly valid because without those thre guys (and a few others here and there, I believe) putting in all the effort and work early doors, then there wouldn't be a forum to bitch about no effort being put in now.

ECH was not saying that this group have any more (or less) right to bitch than anyone else - he was saying that this particular group of people have paid their dues with regards to effort, content and participation already.

Not that anyone has to adhere to any kind of manifesto or any of that other tangenital stuff you went off on.

Of course.

There are others who I've no doubt forgotten.

Yes, I was going to add Trip and Faust for their work on the mechanics and support side of site upkeep.  And lots of people, far too many to list them all, have put massive amounts of effort into projects like the BIP phamplets, the Wiki etc

Merely pointing out that in my individual case, I've already done a ton of work for the site, whether it was when I was the only admin, ranting, helping out on projects, trolling or simply providing content, and I don't need to prove my worth to anyone concerning the effort I've put into this place.

Post by: Triple Zero on September 25, 2010, 02:22:45 PM
Personally, whenever somebody, anybody complains the board is dead or not as good as it used to be or that EVERYTHING IS A FUCKING TOOLBOX (remember the TOOLBOX?!?!!!), I either a) step up if I think it's justified b) reply what i've been doing recently instead of awesoming up the board or c) just plain ignore it.

Also,

I dunno,

I have this very STRANGE TENDENCY to not immediately assume that EVERY general comment made on this board is ALWAYS EXPLICITLY ABOUT ME.


though it helps that I can think "well I was fixing XYZ yesterday, so it doesn't apply to me" :)


but then, you know what it is? see a forum like this is basically defined by what you get from it, and what sort of thing you put into it. and for me, whether either of those things is "enough" depends on whether I think it is, and not what others say. there's been complaints about lulls in activity every once in a while, and sometimes I agreed with them, and sometimes not. the only time when it becomes a problem is when the complaints themselves start to overshadow the content, which is why I don't really think it's worth bitching about :)

Title: Re: A few pet peeves
Post by: The Great Pope of OUTSIDE on September 25, 2010, 08:23:12 PM
Several things to say here:

1) I like you Nigel, I really do. I know what it's like to lose contact with every one of your friends (not due to self-employment though), and just having a shitload of everything aggravating you all at once. I wish I could help somehow, more than just commenting, but commenting is the only thing I can do. We don't have teleportation yet, otherwise I'd totally go and have a drink with you. :) (Although I'd be drinking coke, XD)

2) I also kinda agree with some of the earlier posters on this thread. I'm not a fan of pointless arguments. I've lost good friends that way, and I can't say I like stirring shit just for the sake of stirring shit. What I love about this site is the sense of humor here, and being able to debate topics that you CAN'T debate with regular people who either have a set base of philosophies that they'll argue until doomsday, or they just don't give a shit about anything. And I still want to be able to make friends here. I think a lot of you are really cool and smart and fun to talk to, so I hope that someday I can say that yes I am a regular and a friend of a lot of you here.

3) As far as projects go, I also get what a lot of you are saying. Not everyone has buttloads of time on their hands, and resources to spare. Heck, right now I'm busting my ass just to get into college, working for money, and trying to keep up with schoolwork at the same time. At any given second any time I spend on here is probably time that could be more productively spent doing homework. But I come on here anyway. Why? Because I'm always a lazy arse at heart and love to procrastinate, and you lot are fun to procrastinate with.

4) On another note about projects, I'm also kinda glad that not a whole lot are going on right now. That means that the majority of the connection between PD happens HERE, and here at least I can try to contribute to. I'm still sorta a newb, so I haven't contributed much of worth yet (except maybe some interesting threads? Idk?) But if the majority of the connection in PD was happening in irl projects, I wouldn't have the time or the gas to get involved. I don't have that now, and I won't for a couple years yet, but when I DO, and if I'm still involved here, then I will get involved in projects where I can. Just that now, I can't.

Post by: Mesozoic Mister Nigel on September 25, 2010, 09:21:53 PM
1. I haven't lost contact with my friends, I'm just available for less online fucking around.
2. Airing a complaint does not equal shit-stirring. Being told I'm a lazy sack of shit who doesn't care about anything important just because I didn't see or respond to a FUCKING THREAD ON THE INTERNET is total bullshit, and I don't think it qualifies as "pointless argument" to say so.

I don't think most people _give_ permission for others to judge them....buuuuuuut they do it anyway.

anyway, _I'M SORRY_ but the only thing I've seen from you is pointless arguing and selfish complaining and passive-aggressive whining. Please feel free to prove me wrong.

Protip: When there's a shitstorm happening, and it doesn't involve someone attacking you or you beginning the attack on someone, STFU and butt out. It's the ONLY way not to get on EVERYONE's shit list, particularly if you are new and don't know the people involved.

Yeah, it took me a few times before I realized that myself.

I'm still not sure what you're saying half the time, but I'm gonna attempt a reply anyway:

ECH, I believe, was saying that if anyone levels those complaints at Cain, Dok, or Himself, then they need to choke on the reply button - post haste. Perfectly valid because without those thre guys (and a few others here and there, I believe) putting in all the effort and work early doors, then there wouldn't be a forum to bitch about no effort being put in now.

ECH was not saying that this group have any more (or less) right to bitch than anyone else - he was saying that this particular group of people have paid their dues with regards to effort, content and participation already.

Not that anyone has to adhere to any kind of manifesto or any of that other tangenital stuff you went off on.

PAYNE

         i understand that 'American' isn't a real language, but i'm attempting to communicate with it the best that i can.

I RATHER

         feel that you contradict yourself whilst pointing out that certain individuals ask for status recognition and simultaniously do not claim more rights than others. (?) i would mostly encourage ANYONE, anywhere, PAYNE, to not attempt to speak for others. I'm asking questions.

ECH

         has, in the past, classically made posts just like this one by NIGEL, and a continuing element is the REMINDER that there's a 'top three'.

MAYBE IT'S JUST ME,

         but it alienates everyone else.

I CLEARLY STATED

         everything you pointed out as fact - the board wouldn't exist without these guys, etc.

THE 'MANIFESTO'

         element is me asking, 'so you guyz bitch like this with some regularity, is there something you are EXPECTING to see appear on P.D?'

IF

         everyone is "too busy" to represent, THEMSELVES IN THE PRESENT, then what's the expectation?

EOT: I like you man, and think you should post more (especially the second part of that story).

But what the fuck are you talking about?
You say people shouldn't answer for other people, which I respect, but also:
A- that the "top three" (which I think is horseshit) have some kind of agenda? Or would be happier if less people posted? Could you clarify this?
And
B- that people feel alienated. Isn't this speaking for others?

Do YOU feel alienated?

I don't.
People here have strong opinions all around but no one makes me feel like I should post less.
Unless, of course, what I'm posting is retarded. In which case I'm GLAD to post less of that sort of thing.

THANKS, ALTY,

         but i confess it's a mix of 'real life' and tha' board.

I DO THINK

         that i'm pulling from 'printed' matter here, mostly.

ECH

         ALWAYS talks about this era where he, CAIN & ROGER grabbed the board from a quick burial. or you're not paying attention.

YES, I AM ALSO

          very happy with my time spent here AND my contributions. As far as saying that people are feeling alienated- IT ALWAYS GETS DONE/ HAPPENS in this circumstance and CLEARLY, at least someone feels that way

BUT

         singling out CAIN, ECH & ROGER as the 'true blue' does not include EVERYBODY ELSE. even though, here we are!

YES,

HOWEVER,

         when perimeters are set and names are named. it's kinda hard to ignore

EVEN IF

         i'm not one of those named / unnamed on either side of the fence. i'm not speaking for anyone, but i don't like seeing people get picked on.

MY QUESTION IS;

         NIGEL, what do you wanna see done here, while you're too busy to do things here?

         AND, ECH, DITTO?

Unless I am deciphering this completely wrong, I think you have completely missed my point, which is that some of my pet peeves are when people say the stuff like what I posted in my OP. It kind of drives me nuts when anyone declares the entire board and everyone on it BADEVILWRONGSTUPIDLAZY because not enough people are responding/posting/playing/whatever the way they want them to. Especially because there are a lot of people who aren't posting much but wish they had time and energy to post more and participate in more neat/fun/productive stuff. It just makes it feel extra shitty and alienating to be told you're a worthless shitheel because you can't post more. IME.

Never again.

I tried to make nice, on the basis that you are having medication problems on top of your other problems, but you are an out-of-control aggressive paranoid psychotic right now and you need to check yourself. Talk to your doctor, do SOMETHING before you alienate EVERYONE who ever cared about you.
