Which explains why I throw burning garbage cans out my window to deal, when the trials and tribulations on BWW are too much to bear.

That, and dance at S&M clubs.

I don't want to toot my own horn, but I'm pretty sure everyone knows I'm the most beloved, attractive, modest and witty poster on this board. If you didn't know that you aren't worth my time.

dizzy
i'm so dizzy my head is spinning

it's not but that's the song i have in my head now, thanks, chita. that's so rude of you to come into a thread where we are discussing the life or death matters important to all the members of broadwayworld and plant the seed of an old tommy roe song to distract us so you can follow your own venemous pursuits!

When did it become such an issue for people who have certain things in common to be drawn to one another? I recall a certain adult smoking thread that excluded people outside of a certain age bracket just by the nature of the conversation. Nobody seemed to complain about that. Maybe it's just that the "clique" is wrong only if you don't happen to be a part of that particular one.

I love papa.

That doesn't mean anything but I love him. He makes me laugh. Gosh, I don't even know if he's a he or a she? Let me look...ok, he's a he.

he gave me my hardiest laugh of the day in the following thread,

(Now you can't read just his post. It's only funny if your read all the posts before his)

To Orion-There are cliques and there are cliques. This place is a slice of life. Imagine you're at a party. People naturally fall into groups, just chatting. You walk over to a group, wanting to join in because you'd like to be friendly and meet new people. You walk over, and once you get a taste of the conversation, you add a comment because the topic interests you and you have something to say about it. Not one person looks your way or responds. It's uncomfortable and they've made things quite clear. I think that's what some people here are talking about.

yeah but here if you are ignored it's no big deal. no one knows who or what you are. they are not ignoring you on the basis of your gender or clothes or looks or hair or body odor.

here we are all equal. the only things that separates us are our thoughts. and our willingness to check our spelling.

Sometimes it is better to say your peace & be ignored. Other times, you want feedback

If "ignoring people" were only the worst of it! While it ISN'T "nice" to ignore people, sometimes it's better than "engaging." When silence is intended as a means of keeping the peace, I don't think it's a bad thing. It's certainly better than escalating the problem.

Again, I think the main issue here is the mean-spirited, condescending, abusive attacks. Am I wrong?

[smartpenguin78]

Posted: 3/6/06 at 8:42pm

That is the actual issue, Miss Pennywise.

[Jane2]

Posted: 3/6/06 at 8:45pm

this is also subjective. Some people are more offended at being ignored than others, etc. We have our preferences on how we'd like to be treated. there's no one answer to this.

It would be nice if we could all play nice but it takes 2 to tango & sometimes you are the only one on the dance floor

On either board, you should be able to say your peace & if someone disagrees it is in a friendly manner & not one person ripping another person to shreads. It serves no purpose. However, human nature being what it is, some things will not change & that is a pity.

Some topics I wisely stay completely away from & it makes my life easier. It is a shame but I am a realist. After almost 60 years, you pick your spots. Sometimes things do not always work out as intended & trying to defuse a situation only makes it worse but you learn from these experiences

First of all, an apology to the board in general - and specifically to those who I referenced - yet another case of letting the fingers fly before the sanity has a chance to reign supreme. Unacceptable outbursts are not my favorite thing, and it's even worse when I'm the one who did it. So, I'm sorry for the abusive language and the overly 'charged' tone - not necessary at all.

Now, I'll talk about what I wrote, but not address other thoughts presented here. Even though my outburst could be taken as a critique of cliquishness, that's really not what I intended - although, I can certainly see that that's how it read. I actually like the way we all tend to 'flock' to our own - and enjoy touching in with various groups here and there. I think that's only natural.

What i was responding to is similar to something iflit posted about just the other day - the tendency for some to always bring a particular subject up no matter what the thread is about. Her deal was being frustrated by the inuendo, and i had to agree with her - while also fully admitting that I'm one of the worst perpetrators.

My situation has to do with the Corine business. It's obvious that there's more awareness on some people's part about past relationships and occurrances, and there's nothing wrong with that (at least I don't think there is.) We all have connections and interactions that lead us to greater awareness of some more than others. That's not the issue for me. It just seems that this thing keeps cropping up everywhere - starting with it's own threads all the way to almost being a given from certain people much of the time.

The thing that got me was having it show up in the celebrity thread. Whatever anyone thinks about it, it is something that has been going along with a modicum of respect for the exercise. And then, here come the sly references and the mocking comments and/or tone about Corine. And I just don't get it - when it had absolutely nothing to do with what was going on. It just pops up, like I said, almost as if it's become a part of the overall fabric.

And ultimately, I look at it and think, "What are we supposed to do with this?" It really doesn't match what I've experienced with her on the board, and that's all I've got to go on. And I could just ignore it, of course, but it's as if we're trying to be told something. If we are, I'm missing the message. And if it's just banter that's only supposed to mean something to those 'in the know,' then all I'm left with is the stale aftertaste of agressive negativity.

I know, I know - the world has this in it, so you just have to deal. And I do, for the most part. But on occasion, I just stomp my feet and say I don't like this! Inappropriately, unfortunately.

And Iflit, I do like honesty - a lot - and respect it fully for those willing to commit to it. I'm just not experiencing the honesty of these comments as anything but overt mocking - and I guess I just don't get the point.

And so, of course people can say and do as they please - that's something we've all shown a tendency to do - and that's fine.

And for the record, the Namo thing just slipped out because I was 'ranting'. I do think those comments tend to come accross like 'we know something that you don't' - in a kind of snide tone - but I'm aware that could entirely be my misinterpretation. I really don't care about the identity of someone who chooses to keep it preivate - that's the point of them making that choice. But it's frustrating to try to read through conversation where people are intentially referencing something without really talking about it. That's what I have rightfully been taken to task for in the past, and it's just as frustrating on the receiving end.
