I know a month long sabbatical from ST and a year long sabbatical from Facebook helped me regroup - TWuG Aug 15, 21:02 1

If anyone still trusts my movie recommendations, I highly recommend "The One I Love" -- nm - Let's Be Dano Aug 15, 20:39 4
- but how does the Fat Man feel about it?....let me guess, he has not seen it yet :) -- nm - Peglegpete Aug 15, 20:51 1
  - In my case I'm both! -- nm - Let's Be Dano Aug 15, 20:53
- FIRE! -- nm - David Aug 15, 20:42

Dead horse. -- nm - Spawn Aug 15, 19:03 2
- ... so now, I can mock you all but be safe from retribution! -- nm - Spawn Aug 15, 19:03 1
  - mentioned in another post, and now used independently . . . i guess that makes it official ST jargon -- nm - i'm not dead yet ! Aug 15, 19:09
Just speaking for myself. Only because the topic came up for someone else. How I feel about being teased on ST. - Bacon Aug 15, 18:53 103
- Well, I can only speak for myself but I've got a list of names of those who took shots at Winona. Asterisks for those mercilessly rode the shoplifting - JD Aug 15, 20:14 15
  - The one with the big brown beaver? -- nm - IrishStephen Aug 15, 20:31 5
    - That's Wynona -- (link) - JD Aug 15, 20:34
    - She shows it off to all her friends. (Also: any and all musicians) - David Aug 15, 20:34 3
      - See above -- nm - JD Aug 15, 20:35 2
        
        This wiki entry cracks me up. - David Aug 15, 20:37 1
        
        That's great :) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 15, 20:57
  - I have it on good authority that Ms Judd is not overall sensitive -- nm - ty97 Aug 15, 20:24
  - ^^^ the one dude here nobody ever wants to make angry. - David Aug 15, 20:18 3

      - ... that you probably have me under the wrong name. (And also, WR rules) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 15, 20:27
      - golf clap - zeitgeist Aug 15, 20:22
- I get teased a air bit on here as well, but I view you all as friends so it doesn't bother me. - MDH Aug 15, 20:07 2
  - Part of it though is who teases you, and what you get teased about. - Roger More Aug 15, 20:19 1
    - Very very true -- nm - MDH Aug 15, 20:24
- There was a point where I got fed up with the "amoxy is a chick" shtick, but it faded fast. But now - amoxy Aug 15, 19:47 1
  - You lit me up for that and I stopped. I didn't mind, I do want to know if someone is bothered by me. -- nm - Bacon Aug 15, 20:06
- [deleted] 49
  - I have met him several times in real life. We have gone to the movies, he's come over to my families get together. - Bacon Aug 15, 20:09 45
    - I may like Mop more than anybody else here. I enjoy him on a personal level and I like the way his brain works. Having said that... - David Aug 15, 20:27 44
      - Well written. A well rounded look at the situation. - Bacon Aug 15, 20:35 35
        
        Yes. 1000 times yes. nm - ralph wiggum Aug 15, 21:22
        
        I found his post somewhat inflamatory - eag Aug 15, 20:39 33
        
        Well his mistake is trying to think for us, thinking those of us getting picked on hate it as much as he did. - Bacon Aug 15, 20:45 32
        
        Its easier to point fingers in different directions than to point the finger at yourself - eag Aug 15, 20:51
        
        I may be wrong but I think he means David's pot. -- nm - ... Aug 15, 20:46 30
        
        ..post. -- nm - ... Aug 15, 20:46 29
        
        My guess is Eag is referring to this part of Mop's post. - Bacon Aug 15, 20:48 28
        
        Thats excatly what im talking about. - eag Aug 15, 20:52 25
        
        He is cleary very hurt. It's a venting post. I agree with almost all of David's post above. Plenty of blame to go around -- nm - Bacon Aug 15, 20:57 16
        
        I would venture to guess there is more going on with him then just this - eag Aug 15, 21:01
        
        I get salty in and around my birthday. I wonder if that is a similar tipping point for him. - David Aug 15, 20:59 14
        
        I have been divorced twice, but never had kids. It is the suck. - Bacon Aug 15, 21:01 5
        
        Your wife left you when you were suck? What were the details there? - David Aug 15, 21:03 4
        
        Oh there are always two sides to every story. If you want a little bit of a lengthy read here are the details. - Bacon Aug 15, 21:22
        
        Heh - "when you were suck" - Roger More Aug 15, 21:07 2
        
        It's always the thread for it -- nm - Bacon Aug 15, 21:25
        
        Shaddup. -- nm - David Aug 15, 21:08
        
        And maybe ut's because he's found himself in an increasingly better place in real life and realizes that maybe ST isn't that great a place for him. - ... Aug 15, 21:01 7
        
        And thats fine - eag Aug 15, 21:05 6
        
        Fingers need to be pointed. And it wasn't that inflammatory. -- nm - ... Aug 15, 21:14 5
        
        If you're going to point fingers, point fingers at people. Don't go all martyr and cast other people as victims of the same cause you're leaving to - Will Hunting Aug 15, 21:23 2
        
        And you don't point back and tell them to look into the mirror without first doing it yourself. - ... Aug 15, 21:28 1
        
        You want David to take responsibility for Mop admitting to posting old news on purpose and spoiling a movie on Facebook? - Will Hunting Aug 15, 21:30
        
        Totally disagree on both points. -- nm - eag Aug 15, 21:19 1
        
        So? -- nm - ... Aug 15, 21:22
        
        I've been told that by others than him. - ... Aug 15, 20:56 7
        
        Not told to leave but asked why you would stay where you are unhappy. That's an important distinction. -- nm - TWuG Aug 15, 21:04 6
        
        Exactly -- nm - eag Aug 15, 21:06 5
        
        Actually told to leave too, by others. -- nm - ... Aug 15, 21:08 4
        
        Though you do realize that what you said comes off the same as saying why don't just leave? -- nm - ... Aug 15, 21:12 3
        
        But YOU are still here right? - eag Aug 15, 21:17 2
        
        No. I'm still here because ther a people I want stay in touch with. - ... Aug 15, 21:21 1
        
        You and I have had our ups and downs. Might be on a big downer lately - Bacon Aug 15, 21:24
        
        Yes. nm - Dignan Aug 15, 20:49 1
        
        (But a pretty good example of how text without inflection or context can be *completely* misconstrued.) - Dignan Aug 15, 20:51
      - And you do the board a disservice by trying to lay it all at his feet. - ... Aug 15, 20:32 6
        
        He didn't lay it all at mop's feet. And, at the time of the spoiler post on FB, no one knew that he had left, or why. -- nm - IrishStephen Aug 15, 20:34 5
        
        But he had left at that point. It makes no difference whether we knew or why. And we found the why today. -- nm - ... Aug 15, 20:37
        
        sfek, and even if we had it doesn't put him in the right for the initial spoiler post, or how he responded to the criticism of having posted it. -- nm - IrishStephen Aug 15, 20:36 3
        
        Doesn't make any difference as to what caused him to leave. - ... Aug 15, 20:39 2
        
        So you're arguing that he was justified in posting the movie spoiler on FB because though we didn't know it he'd already said "f--k ST" in his mind? - IrishStephen Aug 15, 20:41 1
        
        No, I am not. -- nm - ... Aug 15, 20:42
      - Your IM are exactly my thoughts, but stated in more paragraphs then I would have. - IrishStephen Aug 15, 20:30
  - We all get annoyed by it at times, but playing along with it other times tends to let people think it is OK -- nm - zork Aug 15, 19:31 1
    - Exactly. -- nm - TWuG Aug 15, 19:35
  - Exactly to the IM. -- nm - ... Aug 15, 19:29
- I think meeting each other in person often helps (although perhaps not in this case). Makes it easier to distinguish between the real person and - Meg Aug 15, 19:23 1
  - I have an online persona here that is based on me, but exagerated greatly. -- nm - Bacon Aug 15, 20:10
- All my life ive been teased and bullied because of my weight or how i look or some of my habits - eag Aug 15, 19:12 5
  - Wait... you're a chick??? - Cuzzin Todd Aug 15, 19:15
  - I guess my point is this. Whether you can take it or not is not my point. If you feel it's mean, I want to know. I will stop. - Bacon Aug 15, 19:15 3
    - I dont get any more teased hefe than i do with family and friends - eag Aug 15, 19:21 2
      - I bet you don't run them over with warthogs! -- nm - Remlik Aug 15, 19:26 1
        
        Heh -- nm - eag Aug 15, 20:03
- I'm sad that Mop was unhappy. I hope he comes back. But be proactive, people. Let us know if - TWuG Aug 15, 19:11 10
  - Yeah, well now that I know I am sad too. I had absolutly zero clue. -- nm - Bacon Aug 15, 19:12 9
    - How many others left before him? -- nm - ... Aug 15, 19:13 8
      - I like being teased. Everyone is different. -- nm - Bacon Aug 15, 20:04 3
        
        I also like Bacon being teased. -- nm - Ender Aug 15, 20:17 1
        
        Bad Bacon! -- nm - Bacon Aug 15, 20:24
        
        That said. He didn't and for that I am sorry that I contributed to his displeasure of ST. - Bacon Aug 15, 20:14
      - has there ever been a friendship that didn't have some teasing? you can't blame everyone's leaving on it, especially if we weren't asked to back off -- nm - zork Aug 15, 19:18 3
        
        Not everyone, no. But remember why Amy left? That was quite awhile ago. - ... Aug 15, 19:28 2
        
        like a marriage, if something isn't quite right in a relationship, you say something and try to work it out, not just pack your bags and take off -- nm - zork Aug 15, 19:42 1
        
        This a failing in general. Various people have said something about it. It hasn't changed. -- nm - ... Aug 15, 19:47
- Everyone has their varying tolerance levels and that's good. We just need to know what they are. - ty97 Aug 15, 19:03
- well, personally, i know that I've been through the ringer a couple of times on here in the past . . . and not so recently I considered . . . - i'm not dead yet ! Aug 15, 19:00 5
  - Okay, this is not a joke. You know how there are safe words in sex? When it gets too rough here, let's just throw out a word. - Bacon Aug 15, 19:01 4
    - No judgment, no stigma, the person might just not be up to it that day. -- nm - Bacon Aug 15, 19:02 3
      - [deleted] 1 1
        
        Well, I will speak up and say, STOP IT MEANIES. If it's over the top -- nm - Bacon Aug 15, 20:05
      - compared to me you get tons of attention. I made the odd joke at Mel's or Will H's expense until they said they had had enough -- nm - zork Aug 15, 19:11
- As far as B2 goes. I am pretty sure I am one of the guillty parties and I will be trying to mend that fence in private. - Bacon Aug 15, 18:57
- I'm surprised he lasted as long as he did....who were we harder on, Mop, Pixie or Groiny? I know we kid Meg alot but that's out of love - zeitgeist Aug 15, 18:57 1
  - Spawn gets a good dose. David gives but also gets. Yeah, in hindsite we teasted mop alot, but I was more jealous than anything. - Bacon Aug 15, 18:59
- People hate Dane Cook because he's low brow and average, not because he's not funny. - Beryllium Aug 15, 18:55 2
  - I can't help it if ST has bad taste. You get my funny for free people! -- nm - Bacon Aug 15, 18:56 1
    - *demands a refund* -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 15, 19:36
Man, Rick Perry is going to be mad when he learns what the word "indict" means. -- nm - nubby Aug 15, 18:52 1
- Ha! :-) I was just reading about this. -- nm - Krusty Aug 15, 20:05

- Points! -- nm - nubby Aug 15, 18:55 1
  - All the points. -- nm - ty97 Aug 15, 18:56
Oh yipee. The ice bucket challenge is going through my family. - Bacon Aug 15, 18:36
That Penguins trailer was funnier than it had any right to be. -- nm - Tim Aug 15, 18:36 3
- I was laughing really hard at the Baby Squid -- nm - amoxy Aug 15, 18:41 1
  - Yep -- nm - Bacon Aug 15, 18:42
- I had low expectations and it outperformed immensely -- nm - Bacon Aug 15, 18:37
Hypothetically speaking, if two slices of cheese were dropped dropped in a puddle of cat urine, would I have to discard both, or just the one that landed on the bottom? -- nm - Ender Aug 15, 18:35 12
- Both, it's 2 slices of cheese. They'll make more, inexpensive, non-cat piss infused cheese. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 15, 19:27
- *takes notes* -- nm - Whole Foods Aug 15, 19:13
- Huh. Cheese *doesn't* make everything better. -- nm - TWuG Aug 15, 19:05 1
  - This post cracked me up. -- nm - Amanda Aug 15, 19:58
- you know, this is pretty much an allegory of most of those haxchat boston letters about boyfriends -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 15, 18:59
- what's the Use By date? -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 15, 18:52
- The fact that you would even ask this question alarms. - David Aug 15, 18:45 1
  - not even pizza, just cheese -- nm - zork Aug 15, 18:48
- Both. And then the cat. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 15, 18:37 1
  - replace the floor and the ender, too -- nm - zork Aug 15, 18:49
- If it matters, they were white cheddar, thin sliced. Hypothetically, I mean... -- nm - Ender Aug 15, 18:36 1
