I'm with the C-lister, Inigo. loosi should walk away, but there's no doubt she gets baited. - musubi Nov 5, 13:08 39
- I'll be honest, at this point, why are we saying walk away when it's clear there's baiting going on? - Will Hunting Nov 5, 13:10 38
  - It's fairly clear to me that those who still embrace this fightyness do not now and will not likely ever give a shit that they are doing it. - TFox Nov 5, 13:15
  - [deleted] 5
    - She's not baiting, she's self-pitying, it's part of her charm. Like I'm a masochistic Mets fan. - musubi Nov 5, 13:19
    - There were quite a few people here willing to jump into the boat from the chum. - Will Hunting Nov 5, 13:17 3

  - I like turtles! -- (link) - lileve Nov 5, 13:15 [youtube]
  - even when st calls out the "baiters" they continue to perform their schtick --nm - tRuMaN Nov 5, 13:15
  - I'm not saying either side is peaches and cream. It takes two to tango, and if you're gonna accept the bait, understand that it has repercussions. - musubi Nov 5, 13:13 1
    - I'll be cream and you can be peaches. You'd better not get moldy on my watch, *musubi*. -- nm - Max Nov 5, 13:15
  - it's just frustrating to see someone playing the victim when they have a little control over the situation - kare Nov 5, 13:13 5
    - Color me ass-ish - oblique Nov 5, 13:16 4
      - i've actually never seen you do it. not to say you haven't pushed my button once or twice in the past ;) - kare Nov 5, 13:18 1
        
        I snarked colin too hard today I think - oblique Nov 5, 13:19
      - you don't bother me in the slightest. -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 13:17 1
        
        That's because someday I'm going to be in DC and jiggle your cables properly - oblique Nov 5, 13:18
  - It's partly Mean Girls and it's partly someone being ultra-sensitive. Yes, the Mean Girls should stop, but ultra-sensitive girl should grow a pair. -- nm - TWuG Nov 5, 13:13 1
    - i don't think you understand anatomy very well..... -- nm - colin Nov 5, 13:14
  - because by complaining and bringing it up, loosi is just prolonging her own agony. it's masochistic. it's in her power to end it, and she doesn't. - Halloween Candie Nov 5, 13:13 2
    - Also true. (nm) - musubi Nov 5, 13:17
    - End, no. Ameliorate, yes. -- nm - TWuG Nov 5, 13:14
  - Where did she get baited today? Did I miss it? -- nm - Spawn Nov 5, 13:12 14

      - just ignore me if I repulse you so. please. -- nm - mandy jones love jack dawson Nov 5, 13:17 5
        
        As long as you don't utter a snide word toward me or kelly or have anyone else do the same, I'd be glad to. - Will Hunting Nov 5, 13:19 2
        
        L2! -- nm - Spawn Nov 5, 13:21
        
        Oh sh** this is high school. F*** me, am I about to not get laid for 4 years again?! - musubi Nov 5, 13:21
        
        This isn't high school, we're not picking sides of a clique. - musubi Nov 5, 13:18 1
        
        it really is a "You're Both Pretty" scenario. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 5, 13:21
      - Yup yup. (nm) - musubi Nov 5, 13:16 2
        
        My reputation proceeds me. - Spawn Nov 5, 13:20 1
        
        Oh please, you bait her. I'm not even saying it's wrong, I do it too, but don't play the angel. - musubi Nov 5, 13:22
    - I want to know what I did today to get called out. -- nm - mandy jones love jack dawson Nov 5, 13:13 2
      - ok, just to be clear: I did not call you out. I was not referring to you. -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 13:13 1
        
        then why did you imply so? wait. do I care? no. -- nm - mandy jones love jack dawson Nov 5, 13:16
  - I asked a question. I was wondering if I was being attacked. I was told I am. - pilgrims and indians love mandy lane Nov 5, 13:12

I'm trying to stay out of this, but it must be said: Remlik's Halo mojo is weak. - crash davis Nov 5, 13:02 16
- By the time I do get an xBox, the ST group will be so far advanced I'll just get tea bagged every night. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 5, 13:10 6
  - You're gonna get teabagged every night, but it will have nothing to do with an xBox. (nm) - musubi Nov 5, 13:16 1
    - *shakes fist at musubi* - JaxSean Nov 5, 13:17
  - I've been waiting too. Get yours after the holidays like me. -- nm - lileve Nov 5, 13:13
  - naw, you will still have crash and eag on your level. -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 5, 13:12
  - first of all, great IM - secondly, by the time you get a 360, I'll still suck :) -- nm - crash davis Nov 5, 13:11
  - that's why cheating was invented -- nm - colin Nov 5, 13:11
- beyotch. You know calling "ME" out only results in pain for you on the Xbox. -- nm - Remlik Nov 5, 13:09 6
  - bring it, pumpkin -- nm - crash davis Nov 5, 13:09 5
    - But enough of talk about Remlik's bald head -- nm - eag Nov 5, 13:13 4
      - halo should be fun with both you and crash calling out remlik. -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 5, 13:16 3
        
        he will just say "I have to work early Saturday morning" -- nm - crash davis Nov 5, 13:17 2
        
        Or a headache -- nm - eag Nov 5, 13:19
        
        ie, the "I have a mandate" excuse. -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 5, 13:18
- hmm, quit poking baldilocks with a stick. -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 5, 13:08 1

- Doesn't everyone have their button that can be pushed? -- nm - oblique Nov 5, 13:06 5
  - not really, no. - Andie Nov 5, 13:08 4
    - I think the issue then is that some people can't ignore it -- nm - oblique Nov 5, 13:09 3
      - that's exactly the issue. and, but not ignoring it, it keeps it going. it's like life-support for conflict. - Andie Nov 5, 13:09 2
        
        it's a feedback loop -- nm - znufrii Nov 5, 13:16
        
        *sigh* but = by -- nm - Andie Nov 5, 13:10
- I would think that a community is defined by its strongest personalities, and by extension, how people react and interact with those personalities. -- nm - znufrii Nov 5, 13:02 3

    - I *know.* I'm almost laughing in class. -- nm - pilgrims and indians love mandy lane Nov 5, 13:04
I was actually paying attention in class when I was called out. what did I do to get attacked? show me. -- nm - pilgrims and indians love mandy lane Nov 5, 13:00 10
- According to loosi, the post wasn't for you. Take that as you will. - Inigo Nov 5, 13:06 3
  - you could.... ignore me. -- nm - pilgrims and indians love mandy lane Nov 5, 13:08 2
    - I consider you a friend, so I'd rather not. You asked what you did, and I explained how I felt about it. -- nm - Inigo Nov 5, 13:14 1
      - it's your choice. thanks for your input. -- nm - mandy jones love jack dawson Nov 5, 13:17
- you're a prized posession for both the indians and pilgrim - some fighting between the factions is to be expected -- nm - Guy Nov 5, 13:03
- To be fair to loosi, IMO, she was not referring to you. Though you two *are* like oil and water. -- nm - TWuG Nov 5, 13:01 4
  - she was. she admitted as much on board two when I popped in to ask if I was being attacked. -- nm - pilgrims and indians love mandy lane Nov 5, 13:05 3
    - Not to belabor the point, but until you said something your name wasn't even in the mix. You assumed, perhaps fairly - TWuG Nov 5, 13:10 2
      - it's kind of candyass to talk about people behind their back right in front of their face. isn't it? -- nm - mandy jones love jack dawson Nov 5, 13:14 1
        
        Yes, but I'm taking her at her word that you weren't the target oh her *initial* post. She has plenty of foils on ST that she could of been - TWuG Nov 5, 13:20
heheh meg - yup, last night's dress didn't work. But I liked the one she wore on The View that time. -- nm - Diva Nov 5, 12:58 10
- I'm glad it's not just me. I couldn't even figure that dress out, it was strange. - Trish Nov 5, 13:11
- Granted, I'm a clueless dude who is not an expert on the matter, but I didn't have a problem with it. -- nm - TFox Nov 5, 13:00 3
  - It sort of looked like kind of bloody. -- nm - Diva Nov 5, 13:01 2
    - She's someone I look at and can't help but like. She just seems like such a good wife and mom and generally cool chick. - TFox Nov 5, 13:05 1
      - I'm looking forward to her being the First Lady. -- nm - Diva Nov 5, 13:06

    - She could look better. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 5, 13:03
    - agreed. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 5, 13:01
Something's happening on ST and I'm not sure what exactly. But I suspect that the end result is someone I like is going to leave. - Mop Nov 5, 12:58 10
- Way to stick up for someone you like. -- nm - Loyola Nov 5, 13:03 1
  - "sticking up for someone you like" is part of the reason this ongoing argument keeps resurfacing. - Beryllium Nov 5, 13:05
- SlackerDome '08: mandy vs. loosilu CHOOSE! -- nm - oblique Nov 5, 12:59 1

roll! ROLL! ROOOLLLLLL!!11!!!1 -- nm - lileve Nov 5, 12:57
also - i have no problem with Nader's comment. he's always been a cynic (why wouldn't he be?) and he still considers himself America's watchdog. - Guy Nov 5, 12:57 7
- nader is like a washed up tv star, trying to do anything to get the spotlight back on him - tRuMaN Nov 5, 13:17
- The man hasn't been President-Elect for 24 hours and all Nader saw fit to do was insult him by way of "warning people". -- nm - Diva Nov 5, 13:04 1
  - And do it using racially loads words -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Nov 5, 13:11
- the problem is he comes across as a douchebag. - JaxSean Nov 5, 13:01
- Yeah, Uncle Tom is just a nice little note of caution. - Will Hunting Nov 5, 13:00 1
  - Maybe he should erect a visual reminder of warning by lynching a puppet from a tree. -- nm - TFox Nov 5, 13:01
- for some reason, i like this analogy -- nm - zork Nov 5, 12:58

      - You ever notice how impeccably he is *always* dressed? He's the shit. -- nm - Diva Nov 5, 13:13 1
        
        just perfect, really. He's always the first HOG (hot old guy) that pops to mind for me. -- nm - Callisto Nov 5, 13:20
  - oh, and Victor Garber, but I'm pretty sure he wouldn't like me back for various reasons. -- nm - Callisto Nov 5, 13:04
