Now we're having a go at each other via ficsuit names?


Really?



PFF!

If (ahem) you're typing about what I think you're typing about: it's all right; no-one's having a go at anyone. Sorry for any confusion.

Oh. Okay, fair enough then.

My apologies.

I think you'd better tell Alex's grandma, then, Paranoidwriter. She probably got the fright of her life, seeing her bonny boy all up and about.

Yes... Yes I rather fear that she did, the deranged old reptile.

And now it looks as if she's going to try and have me committed again...

When I die, I will go to heaven, because I hav lived in hel...

The level of misogyny that's reared it's head in the Lost (US) thread. And the subsequent explaining away of "oh, I just don't like her acting/typecasting/shoes that's all".

Also in the Lost thread, unrelated to the mysogyny, I am annoyed at myself for not making my arguments effectively. My last few posts haven't been clear at all. ARGH.

Racism, classism, hatred of fat people...

...you know, all the stuff people come here to avoid.

Finding out there's something fundamentally wrong with me because I don't see Jack Fear's castles in the sky.

Not my castles in the sky, Ariadne: your own.

If you want to kick it around in-thread, come on over—or maybe start a new thread in the Head Shop.

Judge me if you will, but this thread makes me feel really icky.

Sorry.

Are you insane? That thread’s fantastic. It makes me think of aunties and uncles and yr 2nd cousins-twice-removed meeting up and yattering on all night at a family get-together. There’s maybe a proper generational gap-type thing going on here, but that’s a good thing, man.

I keep checking that thread so as not to miss it when they all head for the dancefloor.
 
 
Ganesh
09:58 / 07.01.06
It makes me think of getting-on-a-bit actresses entering a room, with air-kisses and "darlings! do you still love me?"s aplenty. Which isn't to say it's a bad thread - but I can, to a degree, understand less longstanding Barbeloids finding it slightly irksome.
 
 
Bed Head
10:11 / 07.01.06
Oh, fair enough. I haven’t the faintest clue who she is, of course. It’s all the things like “hey, remember that cat?” and “oh, those leather trousers”, and everyone else then going “oh yeahhhhhh”, and there being a big ‘ol smiley half-pissed vibe that makes me like it.

Yes, I suppose I understand the irk, too. Sorry boboss, I don’t think you’re insane. Didn’t mean that bit. But, really.

Remember the back streets of Naples?
Two children begging in rags
Both touched with a burning ambition
To shake off their lowly-born tags, so they try.

Ah, nostalgia...

Ah, cardiomyopathy.

Just think of it as the granny flat annexed to the Chateau Lith, Boboss, where doddery old posters sip gin and watch Antiques Roadshow with the sound turned up loud.

That's it exactly, and whilst [ducks behind compliment]I'm sure Kali's lovely and stuff[/ducks behind compliment] It makes me cringe.

The thing is, as Wedding's bro, I do remember the old days, I just didn't post (much), and I don't mind seeing them referenced, it's *how* they're referenced that bothers me.

We should put them in a list thread!

I think I know what Boboss means. Turned out nice, but when it first popped up it did keep reminding me of that Fry & Lauire sketch: "Hello. We've had lots of letters".
 
 
Kali, Queen of Kitteh
15:48 / 08.01.06
Wow. I return temporarily and have already made a new enemy.

It IS like the old days.

15:55 / 08.01.06
I don't think enemy is quite the way to look at this... critic, probably.
 
 
Ganesh
15:57 / 08.01.06
Yeah - and even then, a critic prepared to own the problem as his.
 
 
Kali, Queen of Kitteh
16:51 / 08.01.06
Oh, I don't take any offense. What would be the point?

"Waaah! Some stranger doesn't like me and therefore I will piss and moan! Waah!"

Um, I think not.

Even in my all glorious misanthropy, I still feel that, regardless, I hold no ill will towards anyone on this board.

where did he say he didnt like you? or that he was your enemy?
i was under the impression he was saying that he didnt like the thread you started.

i guess if you keep making it personal, you could turn him into an enemy, if indeed an enemy is what you want. i doubt it though. i mean, boboss is a total wussycat who hasnt even killed anyone.
no, i mean ever.

i know!
what a pussy!


today i am annoyed that i am working all day and the barb is on sunday shift. damned inconsiderate, i say.
 
 
Kali, Queen of Kitteh
17:12 / 08.01.06
Oh, dear. This is exactly what I was hoping to avoid.

I never actually inferred Boboss didn't like me--he doesn't know me so therefore it's not even worth arguing--and it's fine that he doesn't care for my thread. Though I must admit in some other threads totally unrelated to my thread, his responses to comments I have made have come over a bit terse. It takes me aback slightly, I must admit, but I don't take it personally.
 
 
Char Aina
17:21 / 08.01.06

I never actually inferred Boboss didn't like me-


oh, im sorry. i must have misinterpreted made a new enemy as something other than that which you were using to denote.

what did you mean?

was it a similar sort of misunderstanding when i was taking "Waaah! Some stranger doesn't like me and therefore I will piss and moan! Waah!" to be a part of a claim that you didnt care that he didnt like you?

i must be tired, because i am missing something integral.

OK, people - step back. Ask yourself what exactly you are achieving by perpetuating this. This does not need to be a fight or a drama, but everybody has to step back from it.
 
 
Char Aina
18:09 / 08.01.06
are we fighting?

kali, do you feel i am getting at you in an aggresive manner, or just having your common or garden difference of opinion?
or perhaps something else?

i bear you no ill will, in case you wonder, but i did feel the need to point out what i saw as an incorrect assesment. if that was upsetting or my tone overly sarky for the point i was making, please accept my apologies.
 
 
Char Aina
18:12 / 08.01.06
i should prolly also apologise to boboss, seeing as i was ribbing him a little too there.

he's not really a wussycat.
he's a tiger.
rar.

You just want someone to rub your fluffy little tummy, dontcha?

Move along, folks. Nothing to see: we're all friends here.
