Like a book club, except with more sex! ([info]notjo) wrote in [info]otf_wank,

Over on the lj community bad_rpers_suck, ladivamaudica apparently made a post pimping her roleplay. I say apparently, because by the time I saw the post, it was replaced with an "apology".

I wish I could quote the apology, but that, too, has been deleted. But it was something like "I'm so sorry, I thought this community allowed people to pimp their role play. I checked everywhere and looked and everything, and I didn't see anything that said I couldn't! Didn't mean to act so stupid and idiotic and all this other stuff."

The person who made the initial comment about the post blinked a bit in confusion, since her entire comment was "This isn't the place to do that, check out rpg_promos for that."

Someone else came along and pointed out that the community info clearly states "Don't pimp your games here."

Now, her apology is gone, and replaced with this:


I'd like to start off by saying I'm sorry for snapping. I am under tremendous stress, and yes, I was a total bitch. I'm sorry for that too.

So here is my resignation from this group.

I would like to hereby leave this community and offer you hope that nobody like myself ever darkens your doorstep.

I'm very, very sorry that I snapped. I've been waiting a year for surgery to alleviate a nagging pain, and there are very few things to make me happy. When I posted that, I was excited, and then I look at a response to see that I'd done something wrong already. It's a real kick to the pills after being happy about something.

My stupidity is no excuse.

Thank you for allowing me into the community, and some of you that know me better, I'll see you later.




Of course, when you check out her own journal, it's filled with more "It's because I'm so stressed, my relatives are dying" stuff.

Also check out the comments, where [info]fandom_wank's name is taken in vain...

Wait a moment. I'm trying to grab the links to things, and the whole thing is deleted again.

Someone want to tell me how many [info]jurisprudence laws have been broken now

Edit to add: [info]glomobius managed to save some of it here.

No, because the moderator knows how to take care of business and doesn't take any shit. :)

Okay, color me confused, I saw the original post and thought nothing of it, people pimp games all the time in BRPersSuck, so I'm wondering what the heck happened?

I didn't see anything, but I'd wager it was something to the effect of one person or maybe even two or three people suggested other, possibly more appropriate, avenues for the promotion and Persecuted Drama Queen Syndrome kicked in. You know, when someone takes the criticism or suggestion of one person, however mild or polite it might be, and suddenly decides that the whole group is suddenly frothing at her door, waiting to flame the hell out of her poor little innocent self and reacts like a spoogy airhead accordingly.

As far as I saw, it was ONE PERSON who suggested that she take her ad over to [info]rpg_promo. And that person was even polite about it.

OMGTEHPERSECUTION!

Not that I really want to make fun of someone who is obviously having problems, but - her family members are dead or dying because she was rude to someone on an Internet community?

That, or the shock of their conditions caused her to temporarily forget how to read community rules.

I think they're dying because she's not stoic enough about her pain.

Does she never turn comments on in her journal, or am I just not looking in the right place?

Woah. I was reading to see if she had some sort of chronic pain condition and... ummm... *boggle*

What's with kids today? Do they have no sense of dignity or privacy whatsoever? Angst angst cutting angst angst stepdad angst angst illjuststuffmyfeelingswaydeepdowninside angst angst FAP angst angst -- wha? What kind of syndrome makes you die if you carry a baby to full term?

(What does FAP mean? I see it all the time on Journalfen.)

I don't understand it at all, either. I mean, I see it everywhere, but most people allow comments so they can get the constant "Oh, but we love you so much" crap. She doesn't even do that.

Personally, I would have *died* if anyone had known how angsty/stupid I was as a teenager. I didn't want anyone reading about My Deep Deep Angst Forever. *shrug* Now, a lot of teens are handing out their blog URL like it's candy, and then post things about the people who are reading it.

I believe it is a sound effect to an action we see all the time in Fandom_wank and it's offshoot communities' posts.

Amusingly enough it's also Fiction Alley Park, the Fictionalley (a big HP archive) message board system.

FAP is Fiction Alley Park, the forum part of the Harry Potter Fiction Alley site. Of the 40,000 members, I believe that 39,845 are either wangsty teens or recovering wangsty teens.

And they'll never, ever go away. And in 20 years when some of them start running for office, their old diaries and Usenet posts will be dug up and plastered everywhere.

Heh.

I don't think she allows comments, though. It's like it's a real private journal, except for the part where it's publically available on the internet.

Oooo, could be...

You know... I'm a member of FW, I am sometimes mocking and sarcastic, I wander around in threads jabbering, and I never get trolled or flamed. Should I feel honored or insulted by this, do you think? I even allow anon comments. The one troll I picked up refused to reply to me after a while and insulted me from the safety of her own journal where non-friend posts were screened...

*sniff* I'm just not troll baity enough.

My grandparents have alzheimers and one has cancer and they're basically gonna kick ye olde bucket any old day now. But that doesn't give me license to be a fucking angsty asswipe, so I have no clue what this chick's problem is.
Someone get out the cross and nails so we can give Miss McMartyr the treatment she apparently wants.

Yeah, I'm the one who originally suggested she go to rpg_promo instead. If I'd realized she was going to explode, I'd have screencapped it or something. XD
