I haven't been here long, as most of you know. I've spoken to a few of you but I get the feeling that I'm not very welcome. But then again i may be completely wrong.

A lot of you seem to know each other quite well, so i feel like im intruding when i post in your threads and it seems that no one ever replies to my posts or the post kind of just dies in the arse after i have written in it. And i was wondering, is it because i'm not funny enough? Not as interesting as the rest of you? Dont really have anything good to say?

Does anyone else ever feel that way? Or am i just being stupid? ...Maybe just being stupid..that seems to fit. Yeah, i'll go with that.

At first, I cared what other people thought about me.
Then, I didn't care what other people thought about me.
Finally, I realised people didn't really think about me at all.

Don't worry about it, just write what you feel like.

It also feel I'm intruding into personal conversations at times. It's always nice when someone quotes your post in theirs because it makes you feel that they have read it and feel it worth commenting on (not always good comments though)
Some of my first posts were sarcastic and I was even called a strawman, although no body has called me a noob yet
I also feel I didn't start out properly as I didn't put a gun smiley in my first posts:)

noob.



Yes, we all saw it coming. And it might as well be me who did it.

Well, thats not true. But I find that most of these threads are American Politic based. I know nothing about that. Im an Aussie and even then i coudlnt give a flying hoot about our Prime Minister because he is a co** head.

So other then Politics, Religion, War, Race, Sexual Orientation or Animal Welfare...what else is there to debate about these days? No one cares about the trivial any more. Everything is so damn serious. Youd think in a world full of so much hate and arguing that people would want to discuss other things. But, each to their own and i guess ill try and catch up. Maybe i might learn a thing or two. :)

Or just dive into the arguments. Don't be afraid to do it, even if the replies aren't what you expect them to be. That's what I did, and although I know I'm not liked by some, most NSGers are pretty cool and will make you feel welcome.

As for the cliques, some of these guys have known each other since '03, so of course it may seem at first that they're insular in their friend groups, but they do welcome new comers. Just keep posting. Don't be afaraid to be who you are. NSG will feel like home in no time, and this is posted by someone who's been here since February of '08. It's home already.;)

No, it's because you chronically fail to capitalize your 1st person singular personal pronoun, which irks us enough to try and ignore your posts as much as possible.

Yes, I already feared the aforementioned mistake of yours to be indicative of a more widespread ignorance of grammar and its terms.

Nah. I'm a non-native speaker of English and needed years upon years to acquire and perfect my beloved casual grammar for settings like this. I was only trying to make our pal PD feel more at home!

According to its Wiki page, the Bielefeld Conspiracy dates from May 1994, i.e. is over 14 years old, which surpasses the age of many NSGers, probably including the OP - one would think it had gotten old by now. White text that leaves obvious blank spaces it n00bish.

People feel special because I remember things, I remember all my friend's phone numbers, birthdays and more - people think it's because I care but it really isn't.

There was a thread about names, mine reminded you of Ring Tone.

Yep, really. Year before last, I was going back to the states over the Xmas holidays and posted that I might not be on for a while. The first response was along the lines of "Who are you?" :p

And note that I probably had about 30 or 40 times your post count and had been here 3 and a half years.

Being a notable source of real info on a subject of interest is anothe good one. As one of the board's few Japan hands, that's often what I get remembered for... "(something Japanese)... Hey, Dais might know about it."

Sport is generally a good one to get the juices going. We haven't seen a good "Gridiron is for whimp cause they wear pads!" "The pads are so they don't get killed... (links to the history and reasons for the padding)" "OMFG! Gridiron's rules are barbaric!" flame fest in ages...

Language always has potential...

History's usually good for a bit of fun discussion - especially the "who/what was the greatest...?" or "what if...?" thype threads.

Food. Start a thread about food. They will come. For instance, you're an Aussie, explain vegemite.

Seeing as how Plum doesn't like vegemite, I'll take those vegemite sandwiches...

And a debate topic:
What if the "New World" hemisphere had been turned upside down and twisted, so that Australia and New Zealand were discovered by Columbus in 1492 instead of America? Would Aussie rules and vegemite sandwiches hold the places Gridiron and hamburgers do today?

Dear Plum,

Don't feel bad, and no you're not stupid. This is the general way arguing with people on the internet makes many feel. I have not spoken to you personally but I have read one or two of your posts and they aren't any dumber or more annoying then the rest.

I don't reply often because I am lazy, and I suspect that it's the same for many.

If you want I am always free to talk to about whatever-just drop me a message.

I wrote a recurring opinion column for my college newspaper (circulation 15k+).

If I learned anything from that experience, it is this:

If people are calling you stupid or arguing hard enough, you obviously have made a good point and one worth making.

If they truly thought you were stupid or posting gobblety gook then they simply wouldn't take the time to respond.

Don't worry about it. That's what the internet is for-open free ideas without having to justify yourself or identify yourself.

Or just dive into the arguments. Don't be afraid to do it, even if the replies aren't what you expect them to be. That's what I did, and although I know I'm not liked by some, most NSGers are pretty cool and will make you feel welcome.

Plum Duffs, I'm one of those people Nanatsu is talking about here.

Nanatsu, I once disliked you quite strongly. You seemed to post huge quantities in almost every thread on the front page, in every case devolving the discussion away the subject and onto what a great sexy girl you are. It really, massively, got my goat.

You still post lots, but keeping it to only a few threads and a more serious approach to the subjects of the more serious threads has made you a much, much better poster.

I still wouldn't say you're one of my favourite posters, but that thread you started about a woman with a severely disabled child was what finally won my respect (not that I'm saying my respect matters a fart). You argued with commitment, and fairly, and kept your temper admirably despite being called a Nazi repeatedly for some unfortunate phrasing which you had backed away from in the first few pages.

If I was a gun fanatic, I might feel a bit annoyed at what you and Liuzzo and others did over in the "Gun-Owners Roll Call" thread ... but since I find love of any object (and most particularly a gun) quite repellent, I got a few laughs there. I'm just saying ... you might still be annoying people when there isn't really any reason to.

I've noticed that the people who get irritated with you seem to be older guys like myself. I'm not sure why that is.

As for the cliques, some of these guys have known each other since '03, so of course it may seem at first that they're insular in their friend groups, but they do welcome new comers. Just keep posting. Don't be afaraid to be who you are. NSG will feel like home in no time, and this is posted by someone who's been here since February of '08. It's home already.;)

Well, that might be an advantage of posting so much and so widely, but please don't pretend that NSG would be a better place if everyone did that. When threads progress quicker than anyone can read them, they tend to turn to spam, or at least become very repetitive.

Nerv, I always thought you were an alright guy... until you said that.
I'm entitled. I spent the last two years living next door to two Aussie ladies. We used to tease each other quite a bit about the one food product from back home that we couldn't live without in Japan, the stuff that we would get no matter the cost, and the stuff that, oddly enough, that either the Yank or the Aussie couldn't stand.

In other words, they tried to feed me Vegemite, and teased me when I couldn't handle it. And I got to harass them about their unreasonable dislike of peanut butter. :D;)

It's not that bad. However if you have an aversion to salt it may be a deal breaker.

Maybe because it is a by-product of brewing beer, and you don't like the taste of waste (Hey I'm a poet). Don't get me wrong I like sparingly, but most Australians like it, it is in the ration packs of the Australian defence forces and a study showed that 90% of all Australian households have at least one jar of vegemite in their cupboard.

It is indeed a dessert:

Plum Duff with Hard Sauce

1 cup milk, warmed
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup raisins
1 cup suet, chopped
1 cup molasses
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder

1. Mix together milk and baking soda.
2. In bowl combine raisins, chopped suet, and molasses; add milk mixture, mixing well. Stir in flour and baking powder. Place in cloth bag or greased decorative mold.
3. Steam for 2 1/2 to 3 hours on a rack in large, covered, cooking pot. Add more boiling water as needed during cooking time. Serve with hard sauce.

Makes 6 to 8 servings.

Hard Sauce:

2 cups sugar (can be granulated, brown or powdered)
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup brandy

1. Beat (with electric mixer) butter into sugar. Add brandy. If too soft, add a little more sugar. Beat until smooth.
2. Hard sauce should have the texture of butter.

Note: In England hard sauce is known as "Brandy Butter".

Don't worry Duffy, you'll be known some day. Just post up a couple of threads which bag some form of religion/political ideology and watch the attention skyrocket.

Or...... She could marry another NSG'r to get a lot of attention. That seemed to work for Big Jim P and his lovely bride.

I haven't been here long, as most of you know. I've spoken to a few of you but I get the feeling that I'm not very welcome. But then again i may be completely wrong.

A lot of you seem to know each other quite well, so i feel like im intruding when i post in your threads and it seems that no one ever replies to my posts or the post kind of just dies in the arse after i have written in it. And i was wondering, is it because i'm not funny enough? Not as interesting as the rest of you? Dont really have anything good to say?

Does anyone else ever feel that way? Or am i just being stupid? ...Maybe just being stupid..that seems to fit. Yeah, i'll go with that.

:fluffle: :fluffle: :fluffle:

Yes, we can be a bit insular at times because a new thread can mean an opportunity to carry on a previous discussion, but most people will reply to a post if they're interested in what you have to say.

Well, did you know that i once flew all the way to Japan on a bicycle to buy small pieces of cheese? But unfortunately when i arrived they were all sold out! I said to The giraffe (who i was travelling with) 'Will you go across the street and find 3 tubs of diseased Inuits and send them to Jamaica?' And so the Giraffe died and went to Giraffe Heaven. I then bought a six pack of beans to wear as a disguise while fighting the evil Ninjas of the South Pacific.

I haven't been here long, as most of you know. I've spoken to a few of you but I get the feeling that I'm not very welcome. But then again i may be completely wrong.

A lot of you seem to know each other quite well, so i feel like im intruding when i post in your threads and it seems that no one ever replies to my posts or the post kind of just dies in the arse after i have written in it. And i was wondering, is it because i'm not funny enough? Not as interesting as the rest of you? Dont really have anything good to say?

Does anyone else ever feel that way? Or am i just being stupid? ...Maybe just being stupid..that seems to fit. Yeah, i'll go with that.

Lol, I am the most disliked, most ignored nation person on NS. In the General and International Forums.

For my economic, political and social views, native born Cuban now american citizen. Every once in a long while they throw me a bone of attention. Lol. I sympathize with your feelings. You may telegram and say hi, if you wish.

That said, I will post on from beyond the grave, lol.

LHC.

I've been here since January 2004, and I have a socially exclusionary amount of posts, yet I'm fairly certain people pay me no attention.

Nadkor also does irony and self-deprecation very well, even though as a Northern Irish girl I wouldn't label her as typically British.

Well, did you know that i once flew all the way to Japan on a bicycle to buy small pieces of cheese? But unfortunately when i arrived they were all sold out! I said to The giraffe (who i was travelling with) 'Will you go across the street and find 3 tubs of diseased Inuits and send them to Jamaica?' And so the Giraffe died and went to Giraffe Heaven. I then bought a six pack of beans to wear as a disguise while fighting the evil Ninjas of the South Pacific.
What is a frog without legs? Good question. Ill eat two ounces of carrot juice if you sing me a song.

wait wait wait....
Japan
Jamaica
South Pacific
of course, you're a rastafarian aren't you? it all makes sense now, the giraffes, inuits, cheese and ninjas are all common symptoms of the dreaded religion called 'boredom'.
In this boredom many people reside, and use it as an exuse to do crazy things, i say there doesn't need to be an exuse!
A frog without legs is a sort of fish right?
ew carrot juice, oh right i get it.
Lend me your ears and i'll sing you a song i promise not to sing out of tune.
I'm not the best person for singing, maybe if i practised i would be. but at the moment if you like the sound of car revving it's engine then you pretty much have what my voice is like, uh except i don't eat petrol, and i usually get round to washing myself and not letting someone else wash me.

From the British Isles, but not from Great Britain: therefore, she's not-so-great British.

Does that equal me getting the clap?
Hang around here a while ... you may be unpleasantly surprised with how often that thought'll pop in after participating in a few threads.

I'd just like you to know that I closed this thread only as my small contribution to giving Plum Duffs the full NationStates experience.

Not because it had degenerated into spam, or because of any sort of modly bias against blogthreads, or ...

Ah, the hell with that. I closed it because I felt like it. Now go away.
