Sigh...I give up!
Liz  Oct 19, 06 - 9:08 AM | Sigh...I give up! Well, silly me...I tried to explain to some people on the EW board that their personal attacks was not much of a discussion on LOST, but I guess that was an invitation for personal attacks on me. So, with that said, I will see all the regulars tomorrow on the EW board once the trolls are all gone.  |
| LOSTbean Oct 19th, 2006 - 12:08 PM |  Re: Sigh...I give up! liz, i hear ya! it takes everything within me to not go off on the people that are being mean. people are so brave (a.k.a. rude) when they can hide behind a computer, eh? it's cool that the core group of us GB'ers that stuck together over the summer have always been respectful and kind to each other...it really makes you feel like you have some good friends, even if you haven't met any of the folks from here!  |
| Liz Oct 19th, 2006 - 12:28 PM |  Re: Sigh...I give up! Its funny...I've only been involved with the EW board this season. (no steady internet) But, its been nice discussing LOST in a place that gets you to think beyond the surface. I've appreciated the fact that there are no "stupid" ideas and everyone's opinion is valid. That is, of course, except on Thursdays. It seems like people take the responses very personal then. I guess I just don't get why people think its necessary to be mean about someone else's opinions. And then, when I tried to explain that it was counter-productive to be that way, someone told me that I "didn't have the right to tell people how to post." Oh well...see you on EW tomorrow!  |
| Greybishop Oct 19th, 2006 - 12:34 PM | Re: Sigh...I give up! I've pretty much given up on Thursdays at EW. Of course, since I usually only get to watch the episode on Thursday evening, that's been ok. Fear not, regularly scheduled adult discussions will resume Friday afternoon... |
| wesb Oct 19th, 2006 - 12:36 PM | Re: Sigh...I give up! Liz - A lot of those people are trolls who are deliberately trying to engage you in an argument. They mostly just want to disrupt things. If you try to explain things to them, they'll deliberately twist what you say to get a reaction from you. For the most part, we should pity people who feel they can only make their mark by getting in the way... |
| Greybishop Oct 19th, 2006 - 12:48 PM | Re: Sigh...I give up! Wes - So, what you're saying is that the EW Board is currently controlled by a bunch of my ex-girlfriends?  Brrrr  |
| Prettyeyes Oct 19th, 2006 - 12:57 PM | Re: Sigh...I give up! Those folks over at the EW 2day definately needs a TIMEOUT corner....sounds so high schoolish...never heard so much jibber jabber.. they're just doing it now only because they know it annoys us.  |
| Lady-in-Gray Oct 19th, 2006 - 1:06 PM |  Re: Sigh...I give up! Wes: I understand that you are trying to keep the serious Lost fans from leaving the board in disgust, but I'm almost afraid that you are also encouraging the Trolls to come back tomorrow to further harass us.....  Unfortunately, I will be missing most of tomorrow's discussion because I have an all-day event to attend. I will certainly miss a meaningful discussion with the regulars. More importantly, though, someone else will need to take over the Hospitality duties tomorrow....... |
| jas65 Oct 19th, 2006 - 1:14 PM | Re: Sigh...I give up! EW board is ugly today. Poor Wes. I would jump in to defend your honor but I fear the rumors of our affair would start. |
| Greybishop Oct 19th, 2006 - 1:16 PM | Re: Sigh...I give up! Well, I jumped in to try to deflect some of the heat from Wes... It's like they were a pack of wild dogs that hadn't been fed in a while. Less than a minute after I posted, I got roasted. Sigh. Oh, well, I can take it. |
| jas65 Oct 19th, 2006 - 1:18 PM | Re: Sigh...I give up! GB - you're right. It's just feeding them. As Wes pointed out, they just turn things around to suit their purpose. You try to be supporting, respectful, etc. and it bites you on the butt. |
| LOSTbean Oct 19th, 2006 - 1:52 PM | Re: Sigh...I give up! it takes 2 to argue and i am SO trying to bite my tongue on some of the a$$inine comments out there today. i don't mind if people speak up about LOST and a theory they have, but this bashing and whining kills me. i love you guys! (GROUP HUG)  |
| Liz Oct 19th, 2006 - 2:30 PM | Re: Sigh...I give up! Lady- Don't worry. I will do my best to take over your hospitality job tomorrow (just for tomorrow...I don't think I can do as well as you do).  |
| LOSTbean Oct 19th, 2006 - 2:37 PM |  Re: Sigh...I give up! what's up with "laundry girl" on the EW site? is she high?  |
| Lady-in-Gray Oct 19th, 2006 - 2:55 PM | Re: Sigh...I give up! Thanks, Liz. I appreciate your help. I'm sorry that I'll be missing all the fun     |
| Lady-in-Gray Oct 19th, 2006 - 2:58 PM |  Re: Sigh...I give up! Beaner: I think that Laundry Girl is using some sort of translation device. It's sad that none of us are getting it because she seems to have something that she wants to say...... |
| bil-a-bong Oct 19th, 2006 - 3:17 PM | Re: Sigh...I give up! I dropped in once this afternoon and saw wes getting lambasted! I just don't have the patience for that! In fact, I'm still feeling a little guilty for going off on "bryan" last Friday...that's not the way I usually behave. Sorry GB!  |
| Lady-in-Gray Oct 19th, 2006 - 4:36 PM |  Re: Sigh...I give up! Bil: A simple "how about a time out" wasn't going to solve it today..... |
| DriveShaft Oct 19th, 2006 - 10:32 PM |  Re: Sigh...I give up! Hmm...seems everyone's favorite lawman's been sorely missed...guess I better dust off the old shovel, and check in over there...though I doubt anyone's there at this hour, and I won't be back til after 7pm... But...I CAN try to do a better job of being around, presuming it will matter...sounds like y'all are dealing with some really...um, SPECIAL idiots over there...  |
| Greybishop Oct 20th, 2006 - 6:09 AM | Re: Sigh...I give up! DS! So? How's the new job? Yes, you wuz missed! I don't think a mere shovel would do it. Possibly a back hoe MIGHT get the Thursday board under control, but it's debateable... |
| LOSTbean Oct 20th, 2006 - 6:15 AM |  Re: Sigh...I give up! DS-how about our chicago bears?!?!??! 6-0!!! |
| DriveShaft Oct 22nd, 2006 - 12:51 PM | Re: Sigh...I give up! The job's going well, but I didn't realize how much...STUFF I used to get done during the day! That, coupled with the VERY strict internet policy at work, makes this a bit tricker. Plus, when I TRIED to get on after posting here the other night, had internet problems. Yeah, they're 6-0 LB, but they pulled that Monday night game out of their arse!  |
