Is it just me, or are people more bitter than usual today? The pools of sarcasm have soaked my shoes through, and even I am fighting the urge to tell everyone to go and take a big flying leap...what the heck is going on? I've never seen so many personal attacks and just plain angriness among our regular posters...

how strange, today is officially the happiest day of the year apparently

Its just you. It is the normal mixture of snidey comments, personal insults, comic interludes and the occasional point of interest.

Well, I've been cheery all day and besides, I don't leap well. :cool:

Very bitter and less tolerant. I agree.

You can only swallow so much crap before you have to vomit.

You'll break eventually Sinuhue. I saw that deleted post. Very bad of you indeed.

C'mon, if I can handle it so can you.

Actually, I'm feeling quite good. I think that's because I haven't entered a single political debate. I feel this would be a good opportunity to plug my website's forum where we never have political debates, but no-one would join so I can't be bothered.

[extremely angry sarcasm] Oh, so now it's all in my head? I'm just imagining that people are being bigger assholes than usual? Maybe it's my hormones making my brains go to mush? [/angry sarcasm]
PMS

It's summer. People start going in forums just to spam 'em, see how far they can go without getting banned.

I'm just tired. I made a half-hearted attempt to explain some of my philosophies, but I'm just looking forward to the weekend, and getting some sleep.

I really need a new matress.

PMS
Is it true they named it that because Mad Cow Disease was already taken?

*gets slapped across the face, several times*

Damn I need some coffee.

PMS
You forgot to whisper.

Me :sniper:

PMS

No shit.

Oh noooooooooo! Sinuhue is O.T.R.! *giggle* :D

Yup it is up for some reason.....

It's a happy day today. Exams are over in Belgium.

It's summer. People start going in forums just to spam 'em, see how far they can go without getting banned.
I don't give two shits about the newbies spamerific posters. I'm talking about the regulars. Surely summer doesn't turn us all into pricks automatically? *hopes against hope*

Definately appears to be stress. PMT mixed with financial stress will make anyone more intolerant of the fools and idiots that generally populate the world.

Try and remember that the majority of these irritating opinions are coming from school kids or hopeless nerds who have little to no real life experience.

You forgot to whisper.

Me :sniper:
i think somebody needs a cup of tea

I don't give two shits about the newbies spamerific posters. I'm talking about the regulars. Surely summer doesn't turn us all into pricks automatically? *hopes against hope*
I get more moody in the summer. I hate summer. Winter's awesome. And fall.

I'm bitter because it's Midsummer's Eve (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midsummer) - the most romantic and sensual night of the Nordic calendar - and I got dumped by this guy I was really, really into, so I haven't been nice today.

Apologies to all who have crossed my path today, especially Sinuhue. I didn't mean being a jerk and I never shoul have posted anything today. :(

It doesn't? Well if summer doesn't change them, what will?

Oh noooooooooo! Sinuhue is O.T.R.! *giggle* :D
XANAZ :sniper:

Seriously, at least CL can see it...I started off in a fine mood today, and the endless bitching and name calling and self-righteous bullshit just knocked me off my high. Call it PMS, call it whateverthefuckyouwanttocallit, but people seem to have lost their ability to keep it from getting personal. *pushes the button. no, sorry, THE button*

we're humans, and humans get angry. I know that I have, several times, typed things that i'd never say to anyone... these were things that came to mind first and BAM I typed them... upon review, I felt ashamed and issued apologies (or hope I did) or explained tht i was not nearly as worked up as my post might have made me seem.

also, we can't see each other... so in-person accepted modes of behavior go out the window. there is no threat whatsoever to saying what's on your mind, other than being banned... nobody's gonna punch you in the nose, for instance.

Definately appears to be stress. PMT mixed with financial stress will make anyone more intolerant of the fools and idiots that generally populate the world.
Telling me I have PMT is not a good thing. It suggests that I am not in control of my emotions, and that all of this is in my head, which just pisses me off even more:)

And the worse thing is, the ones who have pushed me over the edge today are posters I usually enjoy debating with. I wonder if I'm just at the end of my NS rope.

i think somebody needs a cup of tea
*snatches the cup of tea pours it out, pisses in it, then tosses it like a molotov cocktail in a random direction, doing an imitation of a white man imitating a native war cry*

things are really bitter today. I'm just in such a good mood from last night that I can resist it.

*snatches the cup of tea pours it out, pisses in it, then tosses it like a molotov cocktail in a random direction, doing an imitation of a white man imitating a native war cry*

So that's why it tasted off....

Just calm down and don't post because you might regret it later on.

Really. I don't want to see another person go down because of something stupid.

Unless you really want to go and you don't care anymore.

Apologies to all who have crossed my path today, especially Sinuhue. I didn't mean being a jerk and I never shoul have posted anything today. :(
Apologies accepted. Thank you. And apologies in return. You definately rubbed me the wrong way today. But I'll get over it. :fluffle:

People are bitter and twisted all the time. The heat just makes it worse.

There is nothing wrong with sarcasm, unless your sarcasm doesn't make an inkling of sense.

People are bitter and twisted all the time. The heat just makes it worse.

The heat actually makes me more relaxed. I only get more irritated by cold weather. :confused:

*snatches the cup of tea pours it out, pisses in it, then tosses it like a molotov cocktail in a random direction, doing an imitation of a white man imitating a native war cry*
well now, that was jolly well not nice!

Whoooo girl. I'm your friend. I was trying to cheer you up. I'm a female too.. I know what PMS/OTR/etc is..lol

But I am not afraid to shoot you back! :p

Sinuhue: :eek: :sniper: :me

Whats wrong Sin?
I've seen a couple of regular posters just tearing into one another, and I felt decidedly under attack earlier, so I fucked off for a while...and then I realised that I was in a pissy mood because of it, and I needed to come back here and let it out so I could go home and not be a total bitch.

24th of June is midsummer fest in most of Northern Europe. Of course, it's centuries old tradition that we act bitchy in internet forums, but recently our communist governments decided we have to be bitter towards other nations the whole summer long. This is the day our bitchyness is in its height. Just bend over. It wont hurt a bit.

things are really bitter today. I'm just in such a good mood from last night that I can resist it.
TG me about it...puleez...

Unless you really want to go and you don't care anymore.
...

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why the greatest piece of advise I can give is to not take the internet or anyone on it seriously ... for any reason.

well now, that was jolly well not nice!
I pictured Mrs. Doubtfire saying this...not Tink...NOT TINK!!!!???

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why the greatest piece of advise I can give is to not take the internet or anyone on it seriously ... for any reason.

Okay wrong thing to say.

Sinuhue: :eek: :sniper: :me
I've never used that damn sniperthingy before...

...don't worry, I'm already calmer than I was about five minutes earlier. I just feel like scalping people at this point instead of actually killing them...and give me 15 minutes...I'll just be snipping ears off by then :D

I pictured Mrs. Doubtfire saying this...not Tink...NOT TINK!!!!???
well i just couldn't keep it a secret for much longer, it had to come out eventually i guess

Apologies accepted. Thank you. And apologies in return. You definately rubbed me the wrong way today. But I'll get over it. :fluffle:

I just went back and saw how annoying I was being, so I don't blame you at all. The anger and pain and hurt I usually exercise away was channeled into this forum because all the gyms were closed today. Thank you for understanding.

Now, if this night would just pass quicker... you know, tradition says that if you pick seven different kinds of flowers and put them under your pillow tonight, you'll dream about the person you're going to marry... well, now I know who I'm not gonna be marrying, anyway. :rolleyes:

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why the greatest piece of advise I can give is to not take the internet or anyone on it seriously ... for any reason.
Yeah, we already get that part of it.

Hehe, it's all good, better to get it all out here than on your family.. well except your hubby because men are evil! hehe ;) j/k :P

If you do, then you're not acting on it. This thread proves it. You're taking people on the internet way too seriously.

Relax ... have a chuckle.

*snatches the cup of tea pours it out, pisses in it, then tosses it like a molotov cocktail in a random direction, doing an imitation of a white man imitating a native war cry*


I take exception to that- my practiced war cry would impress even you. Not as much as my howl though.

And as for not taking people on the internet seriously...okay, fine, random people, whatever. But on a forum like this, you end up making connections with people. Are they quite as immediate as the connections you make face to face in RL? For some people, very much so...for others, pretty close, and for other others, not at all. I'm in the middle. I DO give a shit about posters I have a 'history' with, and who I've gotten to 'know'. Which is why I get pissed when some of them turn out to be phoneys, or when they suddenly go insane. SHOULD I give a shit? Ah fuck, don't talk to me about should...I'll do what I do, and that's it. No shoulds.

If I were drinking gin right now (a bad idea. I no longer drink, but I went on a binge last weekend, after 6 years of sobriety, so I can at least remember what I get like...not pretty) this above rant would be the precursor to a sobbing, "Aw, I love you guys"...

...but since I'm not, forget it:).

THAT'S the CL I know and love! Christ! I think an alien ate your brain and possessed you earlier...

Sinuhue-you were one of the ones that aggravated me the most, earlier today. There are a few regular douchebags that dont annoy me because I take things from where they come.
When you annoy me, it seems worse.

You have a telegram, Sinuhue.

OK! So this is starting to make some sense now.. it's all Carnivorous Lickers fault! ;)

"This message has been deleted by Sinuhue. Reason: Ah fuck it. What's the point."

ROFLMAO! Tsk, Sinuhue! Shame on you! :D

Ah ... well that's problem one, ain't it? The internet is a sea of anonymity. Any one person can claim any number of things and be pretty much whomever they want to be. In the long run does it matter? To some, I suppose it does.

But it shouldn't.

If you talk to someone on the internet for years and you develop a "friendship" with them and then come to find out you've been talking to a very complex Eliza program or some 12 year old kid locked up in juvie, then who is really to blame?

It's the internet. A :fluffle: will never replace a real human hug. Devoting yourself to getting that close to someone you have never seen, smelled, touched, or experienced the simple act of sitting on the couch next to them and chuckling at the same silly commercial on TV is your fault and yours alone.

Lighten up. You'll live longer.

OK! So this is starting to make some sense now.. it's all Carnivorous Lickers fault! ;)


It usually is. It started when I was young and my mother identified me as the Devil's cabana boy.

Sinuhue-you were one of the ones that aggravated me the most, earlier today. There are a few regular douchebags that dont annoy me because I take things from where they come.

Ditto! And here I was, trying to be all reasonable...but I suspect you had your daily quota of anti-Americanism before you came across me...

OK! So this is starting to make some sense now.. it's all Carnivorous Lickers fault! ;)
Nope. Not just. Not just any one poster...it was a whole bunch of things, some of it not even directed at me that just had me going cuckoo...

I've seen and smelled a few from the internet. Even tasted one.

Thanks Alien. :D

I agree with You Sinner... there does seem to be a overflow of nastiness today.

*hug*

You have a telegram, Sinuhue.
So do you :)

No comment.

I'll second that. I'm almost positive I was someone else in a previous life.

Ditto! And here I was, trying to be all reasonable...but I suspect you had your daily quota of anti-Americanism before you came across me...


I think I had overdosed by that time-was actually glad to see you in here-that was,until I saw what you were talking about.

This forum serves a purpose-had it been a meeting in person, I may have ripped the seat of your pants out with my teeth.

Is it just me, or are people more bitter than usual today? The pools of sarcasm have soaked my shoes through, and even I am fighting the urge to tell everyone to go and take a big flying leap...what the heck is going on?

I'd like you to go back at some more calm point and reread my posts in that thread, and tell me if you still think I was going overboard. You've got me worried now.

This forum serves a purpose-had it been a meeting in person, I may have ripped the seat of your pants out with my teeth.
While that sounds fun...

...I agree. I tend to get in fist fights when these sorts of arguments happen in real life. It always makes my husband nervous when I start talking politics in public...

No comment.

Do you not think I include myself in that? I can claim anything I like, too.

Go check my OKCupid profile ... I'm a 94 year old man who lives in Budapest, Hungary and sell flowers to Moonies at the airport. How about my Yahoo profile where it says I'm a 50 year old widower who makes a hobby of spreading disease.

If you take that seriously, you're a bigger idiot than can be imagined.

It's all just fun and games.

When I first came to NS, it seemed happier than it does now.
There were more "clubs" and "bars" and general fun. People falling in love. Shrines and drama of the social type. Then I started noticing more and more anger threads, more hurtful comments outside of social drama - poltical angst, current event wars, etc. I think that this now has just become the norm as most of the fun threads have been marked "spam".

The spam threads kept the atmosphere light. There is no escape of it now, it feels, but that's fine. It's just different.

I'm having PMS sympathy moods right now...
DON'T YOU FUCKING START WITH THE PMS BULLSHIT WHISPERING....... RAR!!!!

If people want something to be bitter about - my guns n roses cd has a scratch on my favourite song! now I'm angry! grr grr! ok I'm not really angry. :D :p but it really does have a scratch. never mind.

I did not!

BTW, Alien Born-in another thread, I unfortunately mocked something you stated-something I had taken entirely out of context. There is a sincere appology posted to you in the freaking "Zimbabwe" thread.

I hate when I misdirect anger and sarcasm where its undeserved.So-my ashamed appology.

I have seen that I appreciate it, and it was caused by my not being clear. There are too many here that would have deserved your response.

When the ship lifts all bills are paid. No regrets.

I've been on NS longer than anyone on this thread. Don't let my start date on this nation fool you. I assure you that the political threads have always been here, right from the start. Back when we use to have to wait 20 minutes if we were lucky to load the fourms before we moved to jolt.

The only real difference I see personally, is that we have lost some really good people over that time, some really bad people too.. and gained some really cool new people and gained some really not so cool people. The more things change, the more they stay the same!

Yeah-I havent been around all that long, but this place seems to be dipping low-even happy threads turn into ugly brawls. Maybe its a cycle though. Maybe in the fall it goes back up.

I have seen that I appreciate it, and it was caused by my not being clear. There are too many here that would have deserved your response.

Thanks. I'm taking responsibilty for it, as I wanted to believe at the time that you were making a remark I saw as negative. I try to remember that a lot of intent can be lost in just typed words. If you were speaking, its likely I would have agreed with you.

And bitten Sinuhue savagely on her ass as she tried desperately to claw her way out the nearest possible exit.

Do you not think I include myself in that? I can claim anything I like, too.

Okay, I've been beating around the bush on this one long enough. Yeah, you can go ahead and claim to be anything you want. Any of us can. But you know what? A surprising number of us DON'T BOTHER PRETENDING. Oh, there may be omissions, slight fabrications I'm sure...but down and out bullshit? What's the fucking point? And don't give me that, "It's your fault it you believed it". No. You fucking lied, and no one trusts you anymore. Period. Fun and games? Fuck that. Not when you use your lies to give your arguments some sort of validity. Not when you pretend to have the slightest idea of what it is to be part of a group you only understand on a book level. No. Not fun and games, because I didn't go into the roleplay forum, I came here. So don't get surprised when people want nothing to do with you from now on. I give everyone a chance...but you lie to me, you're done. If that doesn't matter to you, that's fine. It matters to me, and I don't need your blessing, because I do actually give a shit about some of the people here, face to face meetings or not.

Please tell me its not "The Spaghetti Incident" ??? "Since I dont have you..."

No. It's a "greatest hits" CD. I don't have "the spaghetti incident" (but I know someone who does and I now want to listen to it asap)

I'm having PMS sympathy moods right now...


Me too-but I think its more from the cramping brought on by the Coke I drank with lunch.

It will be relieved with both pomp and circumstance shortly...

Very bitter and less tolerant. I agree.

You can only swallow so much crap before you have to vomit.

OK that's a pretty gross analogy. Could you maybe come up with a good euphemism next time?

I personally feel no more or less pleasant today than on any other day. One may draw from that what they'd like.

Think about the lives of the majority here. Most are students and have been dealing with exams. Others are getting to the end of their patience before they get their summer break. Holidays are close, but not here. It is hot and irritable (well here it is cold and annoying, but then I always was contrary). The next month is likely to be niggly.

No problems...just download the songs all fresh and unscratched...:)

*In no way is this post meant to be not advocating piracy. I would never not advocate piracy under any circumstances.*

but you lie to me, you're done.

Not really. I'm still here and clearly not even on your ignore list.

See? The internet even gives delusions of power. Still makes me laugh.

Yeah-I havent been around all that long, but this place seems to be dipping low-even happy threads turn into ugly brawls. Maybe its a cycle though. Maybe in the fall it goes back up.
I seem to recall an earlier slump, around the time Zep and Steph left...though I didn't see it as so negative at the time, I also wasn't involved in the same threads. So I'm sure some of us see it now, and others don't and it will cycle.

BTW, I'm feeling much better now...thanks everyone!

No. It's a "greatest hits" CD. I don't have "the spaghetti incident" (but I know someone who does and I now want to listen to it asap)


I dont have the greatest hits. I think I have all their others, though. I always liked them.
If you're a Guns fan, you'll like the Spaghetti Incident-its different and funny.

I'm going to dig it up and play it after dinner.

Nah, I'm not a piratey downloader (because I like the creators of the music/software/movies, not because I agree with the anti-pirate organizations who sue teenage girls and stuff).

And, hey, don't let NS get you angry. OK, so people who you thought were cool got mean, happens in real life too, just wait for them to calm down.

OK that's a pretty gross analogy. Could you maybe come up with a good euphemism next time?

I thought one up just for you, but it would likely get me banned. I like to get all your senses attention when I speak.

Good for you.

Not really. I'm still here and clearly not even on your ignore list.

See? The internet even gives delusions of power. Still makes me laugh.
I see no point in an ignore list. I see no point in PRETENDING to ignore someone. But you notice I will never, ever bother debating with you in a debate thread? Yeah...that's because your arguments, valid or not, are based on bullshit. Lots of people's are...but I know this about you now...and perhaps about them later...I'll deal with lies as they come along.[/hijack of my own flipping thread :D ]

Hmmmm...I guess....all good points...too reasonable though...I prefer some sort of astreological explanation...

astreological? Does that have to do with your nipples?

Everything has to do with Sinuhue's nipples.

EDIT: First thoughts are often somewhat strange, or at least I find that's the case with me.

Well, with that most interesting picture in my mind, and my mood now mellow instead of murderous, I shall bugger off for the weekend in about...5 minutes...*just ONE MORE POST BEFORE I GO!!!!*...

Ah...you are wise in the way of the Sinuhue threads...so who are you usually?
Well, I said I wouldn't come back to the forum until the end of the summer, and yet here I am, but I said I wouldn't, so I'm on a puppet. If you happened to see the thread where I said "my bullshit shield is wearing down", you can figure it out. I lost my other puppets.

So if I called you smart and beautiful ....... ;)


I would speculate that she is actually a 54 year old guy named Mel, with a gut so large he hasnt seen his privates in ten years,glasses-smudged and dirty, wearing a stained tank top tee shirt and flip flops with untrimmed toenails in some crappy apartment in Toledo,Ohio, living on disability for a fake accident at his post office job.

AHA! A smile ... my job is complete here.
Ah Christ Keru, just because I think you're full of shit, and will loudly proclaim it from the tallest mountain, doesn't mean I hold any personal animosity towards you. But beware...I'm lurking around every thread, waiting to challenge you to WHO'S THE REAL INDIAN AROUND HERE duel...

Oh Christ. You made me an American. Why? WHY!!!!????

*And the name is Moore. M. Moore*

Well, with that most interesting picture in my mind, and my mood now mellow instead of murderous, I shall bugger off for the weekend in about...5 minutes...*just ONE MORE POST BEFORE I GO!!!!*...


Me too-its now dinner time. And camping out with the boys this weekend.
Be well and enjoy your nippl....I mean weekend!!

Oh Christ. You made me an American. Why? WHY!!!!????


when pretending to be something they are not, people often pick something totally opposite. Or what they wish to be....hehhehe..

Listen for the howling

Ah .. well unfortunately neither of us have any real information to go on, now do we? First, you'd have to define "real indian" and that varies from tribe to tribe.

I don't wear feathers in my hair nor wear the trappings (except the haircut) of tribal life, but our traditions and way of life were stripped away by the Spaniards three hundred years before your tribe ever even dreamed of a white man.

We don't have special Indian ID Cards, we don't have a real "Nation", we don't have casinos (those were given up in place of recognition by the Republic of Texas and, subsequently, the State of Texas), we rejected the Dawes Rolls, and there aren't any pure bloods left among any of the Caddo tribes.

So ... shrug. Wouldn't be much of a duel. I'll just concede it now. If it makes you feel better to think me not Native, then you go right ahead. It doesn't bother me in the slightest.

Apologies to all who have crossed my path today, especially Sinuhue. I didn't mean being a jerk and I never shoul have posted anything today. :(

Oh my GAWD FASS APOLOGIZED!!!!?!?!?!

It's a sign of the apocalypse! Everybody to the underground bunkers!

:p :p :D

The reason for all the bitterness and such is that more conservatives are coming to NS, this pissess of the uber-liberals here, who get angry because they start losing shouting matches (I refuse to call them debates).
Of course, Im a bit late because this topic has turned into a social thread-sort-of-thing, but hey, whatever :p

Is it just me, or are people more bitter than usual today? The pools of sarcasm have soaked my shoes through, and even I am fighting the urge to tell everyone to go and take a big flying leap...what the heck is going on? I've never seen so many personal attacks and just plain angriness among our regular posters...

Speaking personally, I make the same amount of personal attacks and angriness as I always do.

I've apologised several times before when it was warranted. I'm not a zealot, you know.

no one flamed ME, i enjoyed the day watching people squirm as no one let them off the hook. i guess im just twisted that way.

Me too. I know lots of stuff. Mostly useless stuff but I'm proud of it.

I'll flame you if you like.


I bet the Fantastic Four movie will give a whole new aspect to "FLAME ON!" ...

Used to be just a fun gay community colloquialism.

Never mind .... has to do with flaming.

Before the internet, it used to mean something else entirely.

I always thought NS was more sour. :rolleyes:

Fair enough.

Which kind of flaming? ;)

Nah. Vaguely salty, hint of lime.

PMS


Well I have PMS from hell, and I've had a pretty good day! :) However I haven't been on the forums debating politics or religion or if mimes should be shot, or whatever.

Some fluffles for the less jubilant NSers: :fluffle: :fluffle: :fluffle: :fluffle:
:fluffle: :fluffle: :fluffle:

Now I'm going to have a beer... Grolsch makes everything better! ;)

The forums have been like this ever since 9/11 if only everyday could be just like the day after 9/11. When what government party you were in did not matter, people helped each other out and did not insult each other or argue who's fault it was or fight over who is the best president. If only everyday could be like that minus the deaths and moruning.

Two years ago, the Blue Man Group had an amazing show that ended with footage of papers and everything else falling from the WTC on 9/11. I cried all over again. People forget so quickly. If only people treated each other respectfully, that would be a great step in the right direction.

However, the mourning itself is what creates this feeling of brotherhood, unfortunately. Everyone comes together in a crisis, but it seems like it can't be done without a tragedy. :(

Then George Bush Jr. would be King.

No thank you.

I've seen a couple of regular posters just tearing into one another, and I felt decidedly under attack earlier, so I fucked off for a while...and then I realised that I was in a pissy mood because of it, and I needed to come back here and let it out so I could go home and not be a total bitch.
There really is no need to get upset. One needs to have thick skin to debate here, as there are those that would prey upon the more sensitive ones.

Sometimes people will take cheap shots at me, and sometimes I will be a little less kind in my reply, but all in all, I really don't care if they have a problem with my opinion. If they want to help me to understand their side of the story, they can do so by presenting themselves and their arguments in an honest manner. Anything less is uncivilized.

You should perhaps consider that some posters do have deep seated problems especially on the emotional level. Some are full of hate and anger and use these boards to release it, even though at the end of the day, they still own it. Hopefully, they will find a solution to their problems and learn to enjoy life.

Cheer up, and keep up the good work. I do for the most part enjoy reading your posts.

Like this gorgeous pic of Avril .... *smack to the nutz*

Ahahaha! Cheap shot!

Oh .... never mind ... I'm sorry. :(

You think PMS is bad - wait till you hit the menopause ;)

But surely you realize that most attempts to present a logical argument in an honest manner on here are futile, yes?

I like to feel that while I may not say bitter things, I emit a bitter aura.

For the most part, I do agree that it is very difficult to do so. However, there have been times on here where another poster and I disagreed, and yet through honest discussion, and without resorting to personal attacks, we have been able to have agreement in principle. Those moments are special and foster a better understanding of others.

As I stated in an earlier post on this thread, some people are full of anger and hate and take their frustrations out on others. Through past unpleasant experiences with those emotions, I have learned that some things are just not worth getting myself into such a state. If some people want to foist their ego on others (which does nothing to prove their point), then so be it, but if I am not receptive, I don't have to play.

Many people will post their opinions on here, but at the end of the day, it is cold, hard facts that tell the truth. That is all anyone can hope for in an "honest" debate?

The only bitter thread I've seen on NS today is Eutrusca's... And I've even forgotten its topic!

This is because I was busy on MSN earlier today (11 AM to 3:25 PM), did the dishes, played some songs on my dad's acoustic guitar (Ever Fallen In Love, God Save The Queen, Anarchy In The U.K., quite poorly, I might add), added to my already massive nation on Civilization 3: Conquests, flew some Bf-109's on Aces High II, and just finished a long sitting of The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.

If I would've been posting on NS all day (as usual), I probably would've been bitter. But today? Not so much.

A day's gone by without me being bitter? How strange.

I just went back and saw how annoying I was being, so I don't blame you at all. The anger and pain and hurt I usually exercise away was channeled into this forum because all the gyms were closed today. Thank you for understanding.*damn..I missed all the action*

humm...care to tell us what thread was that? :)

Oh come on. NS is always bitter. At least, I'm always bitter, and for all practical purposes I = NS. Right? ;)






No?






Well you know what I mean anyway...

The only bitter thread I've seen on NS today is Eutrusca's...
The original post wasn't bitter! :p

I have to agree, even though I'd rather not. Sigh. :(

No, but the subsequent ones sure were :p.

I prefer to think of them as ... vociferous! :p

Sinuhue, I wouldn't take it personally. There may even be an astrological phenomenon at work here. My mother, who's into this kind of thing, tells me that lotsa folks get a kind of PMS when Mercury is in retrograde -- meaning that it appears, every so often, to be moving in reverse through the astrological field.

Of course, I think astrology is beyond crap, but it's one possibility.

Another is that summer means that it's hotter and muggier and therefore meteorologically more irritating than usual. Add to that the boredom of the mass contingent of student voices of all grade/collegiate levels on summer holiday, and you've got a mixture guaranteed to cause more than the average amount of bitchiness.

I myself just unloaded on Texas (or as I called it, Tex-Ass) in another thread simply because this summer is the second anniversary of my Great Tex-Ass Mistake.

So it's just a part of life's innumerable cycles. As my mother would say: bless it and release it.
