Can't You Read?!
Over on the LJ comm [info]poor_skills, [info]isis_venomz asks for advice on how to get rent assistance. [info]polyfrog suggests Modest Needs. The OP says she mentioned MN in the post and needs suggestions other than that. PF apologizes as he merely skimmed the post and comments on why MN probably isn't helping. Alright, fair enough. The OP is not amused and comments with Thank you, Captain Obvious. PF comments that perhaps the OP should be a tad nicer to those trying to help her. Oh, but he isn't helping according to the OP! And we're off!.

Oddly the majority of the posts does not deal with the OP's rudeness, but the fact that the poster OMG DIDN'T READ THE WHOLE POST!!!!111

Bonus posts: A post is made to [info]domestic_snark about it.
Two posts on [info]evilegg's LJ. Apparently said LJer defended polyfrog in the thread, but his comment? BAHLEETED! In which EE links to the post and later posts to more discussion on said deleted comment.
Another P_S post made by [info]mothercell! She has several pet peeves, one of which is people who comment before reading the whole post!! Her post begins to border on being TL;DR.
Mothercell posts on her personal LJ about Polyfrog.
And finally, the mod steps in.


Certainly a whole new brand of special. AND DON'T COMMENT BEFORE YOU READ EVERYTHING!!!

ETA: Wank spawns more wank! Thanks, [info]frequentmouse for pointing this out! [info]red_justice makes a comment on the D_S post about how the OP is poor because she is a loser. See comments like this! You apparently had unprotected sex with a jobless loser. Sigh. So now you have a kid on the way.

*not commenting before he read everything* Wow. The first time he did it was fine. But to apologize and do it again IN THE SAME COMMENT. No wonder the OP was a bitch. I would have been too.

What kind of person DOESN'T CARE ENOUGH to go back and raed a post after having made a mistake like that?

First, Redjustice is a particular kind of misogynistic asshat in the [info]domesticsnark thread.

And second, Why gasn't this hit C_F yet? Are we just very lucky today, or what?

Ugh. Does that guy have issues or what? He *knows* what reality is like for her because he and his wife were struggling law students when their first child was born? How does that make him the ultimate authority on the OP's life?

Also, the "I'm not privileged, I'm a union lawyer" argument was perhaps not the most convincing thing I've ever read.

Thing is, the OP actually agreed with his advice, and appreciated it. Which is what everyone else seems to be missing.

i do kind of want to smack mothercell for this comment:

Typically, he's a geek; they're really good about being smart enough to program a computer but not smart enough to, I dunno, read a few books on etiquette and figure out what sort of behavior is not acceptable in mixed company.

:\

what did it even have to do with her anyway? jeez.

Polyfrog was dense and couldn't stop arguing, but isis venomz snapped at him way too early for me to not consider her the main wanker here. Also, the whole dogpile over OMG CAN'T YOU READ WHY DON'T YOU READ... oy. The horse, she is dead.
And no, I don't know how he could've missed the refernce to modest needs in the OP either.

Okay, even for just skimming the post suggesting Modest Needs was pretty stupid when her post was pretty much ABOUT how Modest Needs couldn't help.

I'm going to say that they are both equally wanky.

...am I the only one who sees a certain irony in there being a community for poor people on the Internet, which is sort of something you have to be reasonably well-off to have?

I mean, sure, public libraries and all, but it still strikes me as somewhat... off.

From this thread (http://evilegg.livejournal.com/331467.html?thread=4475595#t4475595) in evilegg's first linked post:

kimatha: Cool!

I wonder why these idiots don't consider abortion when they can't afford their rent. They need to be hit with a clue-by-four.

detritus: Preferably in the stomach region.. Then they don't even have to pay for the abortion.


*horrified* God, I hate people.

Vaguely ironically, Naamah_darling had a rant just this morning about how you can get fuckall in the way of assistance if you don't have a kid.

Of course, it would be far too LOGICAL not to have a kid if you can't/can barely afford one, wouldn't it?

why does she want to have another kid if she CANNOT pay rent to shelter herself? doesn't anyone else have a problem with this? i mean, if you just happen to get pregnant, or you become poor after having kids, i can understand that. but PLANNING on getting preggo, even while searching for someone else to pay for your rent?

okay then! anyone can have kids, regardless of if they can feed, clothe, and shelter them! no no, it's not neglect or sheer self-centeredness beyond belief- it's what that woman is *entitled* to!

god, doesn't anyone think of the CHILDREN anymore? WHY would you want to defend the right of a poor woman to bear more children she can't take care of properly? Don't think about HER rights to parenthood- think about the rights of a child to have enough food, water, clothing, electricity, and shelter. If a woman, man or couple cannot provide these neccesities for children, they are taken away and fostered or adopted to people who CAN afford to take care of them.

if she can't pay her rent NOW, why pop out a kid who needs upwards of 15 thousand dollars a year in medical, food, clothing, schooling, childcare costs, supplies, diapers, car seats, ect ect ect...

why not WAIT, and get yourself prepared to care for another human being before trying to breed again? K? thanks. think of the CHILD before you get all selfish and want to pop one out for no reason.
