8:15a - I can't believe I'm the first to report this...
customers_suck!wank not relating to racism, childfree, or fat people. Hail Xenu!
thebeergod posts his rant.
( It is a very ranty rant. )
lubedpumpkin asks, "Why do you work with people?" susano_otter explains that he's venting. sundressing says, "Venting is one thing. Ignorance is another." chaeri explains that he did say that his rant could be offensive. sundressing says s/h/it doesn't consider themself to be easily offended, this was just over the top. haplily agrees with her. thebeergod apologizes to haplily, but not to sundressing. There's a lot more. That is just one thread. There's three pages of this. sundressing attacks pretty much everyone who doesn't think thebeergod's rant is disgusting, which causes susano_otter to bait s/h/it. s/h/it is not amused.
Highlights:
plasmic_mouth: "dare I say that this really charmed me, this post? I thought it was very eloquent, and that he made good use of the crude things he said. also, edible and legible are the greatest things to mix up. ever.
oh, sundressing. no one likes you. we're all amused by thebeergod. it's a good thing lj is one big popularity contest, though it probably isn't in your favour."
iankeith: "Decaf, pal, decaf. XD"
aikiariyen: "I understand you're venting, and annoyed, and this is what this community is for - but I do find your language inappropriate, disclaimer or no. The situations described are things that we all deal with day after day too, but manage to use epithets that do not reference rape, incest, or murder. These are things that are not appropriate to use. So be prepared for people to get up you for your language. Nobody is likely to get up you for the context of the post, just the language. Remember - there are kids that read this too." Thank you, Helen. Anyone else want us to think of the cheeldrun?
haplily: ""Nah, revolting would be if he actually did any of the horrible things he described"
Joseph Goebels claimed he never killed a Jew. But he was a mastermind of the Holocaust. I think this post was awful, but I think he has a right to say it. But I think it can lead to dangerous places--especially when this post has such a violent frame for looking at "us" and "them."" Yay! Godwin's Law!
Sundressing shut up after the first page, but that doesn't mean it wasn't fun while it lasted.

1:25p - Yes. I need a hobby.
But it's exam time. I have nothing better to do that scurry around customers_suck collecting wank.
Like this pretty, where tortilla_factory admits that, when the english_majors and grammar_nazis collide, she'll side with the Nazis, since she's half-German, and veli wants to know what's so funny about genocide and how she's sick of being blamed for her grandfather's generation.
I was counting more on grammar_wank, since the OP was a rant on people saying "I'm doing good" when they mean "I'm doing well", and there is indeed a bit of angsting over that, but the paranoid German was way more interesting.
