fishplums [Edit] [Delete] 305 replies 00:19, 8 December '08

no more threads entitled 'so-and-so is a prick' and, similarly, no more threads made to insult a fellow board member. it's malicious and it's fucking awful. you're saying these things about people you've never met.
anyone who does this will get a warning, and if there's a repeat performance, a ban.
i'm aware that a lot of you embrace the fact that there aren't many rules on DiS and i would genuinely hate for this to become a sea of tranquility, filled only with lolcats and compliments, but the level of hostility on these boards has become too great. you all should be grown up enough to debate something without resorting to personal insults.

      • No one really cared.

        If you stopped being such a snide misanthrope on here no one would have cause to consider what you've said in the past, regardless of your username.

        • I replied where I meant to reply.

          You started a thread quite recently that was a snide attack on PocketMouse, something I found fairly funny given she's the only poster with as similar a set of crazy views as you have.

          You seem to have also got the impression I give a shit about you being nasty to others or not. I don't, I just like to know whether I'm reading posts by the same troll-like person or a new one, which is why I take note of such things. It's also why people bring up your past: because you still continue to post stuff (which I label misanthropic) that is really about belittling as much as you can the sort of people you see on these forums. Given the futility of doing this except to try to irritate people one can only assume that's why you do it. And given that it's not surprising if someone else posts, "Don't take what she says seriously. She's the one who tried to argue blah blah blah" to try to diffuse the situation for the more hotheaded users.

          I can't really decide now whether you are deluded into thinking it's not you it's just everyone around you, or it's just an impressive piece of trolling to play the martyr like you do. Not that it matters, it just interests me. :D

                    Don't take this as me saying martbowski's a knob cheddar or anything, because like I said, I'm totally Switzerland on DiS - I don't take sides.

                    But you're crying your eyes out because martbowski got slagged off. The same martbowski who, as I'm sure he'd admit, is one of the rogues cos he's always slagging people off.

                    And you're actually not even joking when you say you're gonna ban people who do exactly what he's been doing forever - just because it's now happened to him.

                    I don't understand you one bit.

                    - moderators say 'its just how he is': fine by me

                                              Yes Indiana Jones was always campy adventures, but they took it too far. It was SO stupid. The dialogue in the first three was never clever but it was snappily delivered. In the new one it was like they hadn't been given the script and they were reading their lines from a sign that was just out of their sight line.

                                              Also Shia LeBeuf makes me want to break my own face.

                                              It wasn't a BAD film, it just failed at what it was trying to do. The bit with the alien ship I mean WTF

                                            Full-stop belong at the end of sentences and the end of abbreviations.

                                            The word "announcement" is not a sentence and it is not an abbreviation.

                                            It is either a title, in which case no full stop follows the word, or else it is the first word of a sentence and, thus, given the words that follow and the instructive nature of the sentence, it should be followed by a colon.

Female disers are treated very differently from male disers by the social board as a whole. And i don't see how that doesn't reflect that lots of boys (and some girls) have different attitudes for different genders, which is pretty sexist.

DiS is definitely less sexist than the rest of the world though.

I never decided it's more just pervy, you decided that i think. I was talking about how people have different perspectives and standards for men and women on here, and didn't decide that people were just being pervy. Voyerism is related to sexism anyway.

Looking at photos of someone and then going "cracking tits, I used to think you were a 5/10 but now you are a 9/10" is slightly more dodgy territory.

It would be all shocking and amazing if girls on here turned out to be boys and vice versa, and people would reassess their views on them, and not just cos they were weird/funny/duplicitous enough to trick the internet in this way. In fact people fancying people solely from on here is pretty horrible.

But since all that is quite hard to gauge on an internet forum, and easy to fake and exaggerate, it's peoples presupposed notion of what women/men are like that dictates how they treat them on here. So it kind of becomes oversimplified and a bit negative. I don't know of any DiS couples who had all their courting eachother and stuff on the social board, but then i don't know many DiS couples.
