Open letter. A few thoughts.

[Phox]

I have nothing constructive to add.

Dok,
Complete cunt.

No shit? That should be your sig line.

Well, it's good to know exactly where I stand.

Thanks, BB.  You've saved me an enormous amount of time & effort, though I have lost a bet.

If only you wrote nasty, snide comments and weird poetry to people in PMs, Dok.  Then you too could be a constructive poster whom BB would approve of.

What the fuck are you on about Cain? When have I ever written nasty snide comments or poetry about anyone? Anyone here I mean. If I've got something to say, when have I ever been anything other than right up front about it? Oh, that's right! I haven't! So go and find some other pot of shit to stir, there's a good lad.

I believe Cain is referring to the PMs ED has been sending.

Holy Lot's wife, I am a pile of salt. What the Baby Jesus-vibrator hell is going ON in here?

Seconded.

Got it in one.

Maybe you should pay attention more BB, there's a good lad.

I still don't understand OP. No butthurts but it sorta felt like it was supposed to be a passive-aggressive commentary on how someone (everyone) was mean to your girlfriend or some such which could be taken as an act of snideness, so...

Misunderstanding? Can we make attempts at not engaging in infantile internet fights plz?

[trippinprincezz13]

She's posted here before, and although she's not said so directly, I think she feels pretty fucking tainted by the whole experience. 

Occasionally, she  gets magnificent in wrath. Like only Women truly ever do. And she fights like a fucking Tiger, and doesn't take any shit from anyone.

Drunken rambling and obsessive stalking wouldn't what I would call magnificent wrath.

A true friend would let someone know when they're being a drunken asshole and spilling their crazy all over the place.

Just saying.

[trippinprincezz13]

I've done nothing to warrant any attack, directly or indirectly, from anyone.

Not until you started attacking everyone else??

Giving a heads up that one's friend is being all creepy and abusive is hardly attacking you, unless you're looking for a reason to be offended, like most people are I suppose.

I've let people IRL know if someone they've brought along is doing this or that to spoil the fun for the rest of the lot. I don't see why it should be any different online. And certainly no reason to take personal offense and last out at everyone

[East Coast Hustle]

^THIS.

And really, if you're so blinded by some third-rate poon on the other side of the planet that you can't see how the behavior that Eartha is engaging in with regards to this site is infantile, abusive, and downright INSANE then maybe I need to revise my previously high estimation of you. I mean, just because you're tight with someone doesn't mean you defend their most abhorrent behavior. If anything, it means you call them on it before things get to this point.

We need to stop being retards. The Eartha thread is out of control. This thread shouldn't even exist.

As someone who doesn't pick on anyone, rarely has any gratuitous nastiness and is pretty anti-cunt, I'm going to level with you: If the shit going on in that other thread is even a quarter accurate, some pretty inappropriate, bordering on threatening, cunt-like behaviour came out of your friend. Are people being mature and merciful about it? Fuck no. Did she bring it upon herself? Fuck yes.

This thread is both stupid and making the situation worse. I had no motivation to even open the Eartha thread until you started this one. It wasn't addressed to me, didn't concern me, I assumed it was some run-of-the-mill personal ATTN thread and ignored it. The creation of this attention-getting, "Dear Everyone" thread pulled me into witnessing some shit so ridiculous, so beyond absurd, I thought it was a joke at first.

So, three points:
1. This here thread is passive-aggressive to people who (aside from this temporary blurp) pretty much like you and your contributions. You say this girl can stand up for herself but you pretty much just publicly wiped her ass for her and then smeared the tissue on the walls in the livingroom. Thanks.
2. The behaviours highlighted in that thread are not the behaviours of an independent, strong-willed woman with a good head on her shoulders and a bit of a fiery temper. If shit really went down the way people say it went down (or even close to that) you're defending someone's abusive depravity and that makes me wonder about you. I'm thinking to myself "Is this guy okay? Is he damaged? Weak? Does he need help?" Or even worse: "Does this gent really believe stuff like this is okay?"
3. Ask yourself "What have I accomplished here? Did I make things better for my girl? Myself? Anyone who got hurt feelings? Or am I just fueling the butthurt and righteous indignation? Creating Schadenfreude where there wasn't any to begin? Feeding Ex-Lax to the monkeys?"

I want to close by saying I still internet-like you and think you're an okay guy. No homo. Don't get your dander up or think I'm picking on you. I'm just shooting straight with you.

Please, let's end this here. No more of this inane drama.

You know people would tolerate you acting like a cunt for no reason a lot more if you made even a token effort to understand what the hell is going on. Acting like a dick because someone is talking bad about your woman is something I can understand, but stupidity is a cardinal sin. If you dont even know what people are talking about then why the fuck are you even commenting?

[Freeky]

BadBeast,

-why couldn't you have contained this butthurt to the other thread? 
-why couldn't you have told your friend that she is being a creepy stalker or, if you did tell her, why not say "Hey, yeah, I know, I'm trying to get her to calm down" or whatever it is you get crazy people to do?

[DECI4]

I think every member of PD should share their opinions on this matter. I bet they will all feel really good to get their interesting and important opinions out there for everybody to see.

[AFK]

Look, I kind of said this in the other thread, and I'll throw it out again here.  I can understand why BB might be a bit taken aback by what happened in that other thread.  I'm not talking about what did or didn't happen by way of the PMs from Eartha.  I'm talking about how BB was publicly linked and sucked into that issue. 

Let's put ourselves in those shoes for a minute.  "Holy fuck WHN, you have a crazy friend who sends creepy, nutso stuff via PMs!  What's up with that?"

Think about it. Why does that conversation need to happen in the public?  It would've been one thing if it was a general thread to everyone commenting on the nutso PMs.  That's completely different then publicly linking one person who seems to have an IRL friendship with the person.  For me, it starts going down the road of public shaming.  Or at least, I could see how the person named in the thread might feel that way.

And I'm sure that wasn't the intent of that thread title, but I think we have to think for a minute about how that might feel to us if we were in BB's position.  Then we might understand why BB feels the way he does.

Just my perspective on this. 

[LMNO]

Feeding Ex-Lax to the monkeys?"

I'm kind of in love with this line.
