Worst/Favourite Feedback You've Received

I love when those two go at it. Makes me do this:

You really don't see a difference in Lovecraft's posts here and mine? Interesting.

I think it suffices to state your opinion once and let it be. Repeatedly beating the same dead horse is useless and tiresome, and when it deteriorates into personal attacks, it's juvenile.

That, of course, isn't responsive to the question.

And what you discribe isn't a discussion.

Discussion is fine, but you guys are so predictable. *Just like my kids, you start out okay, but before long, it turns into personal attacks. *

So, you think we engage in personal attacks on the same level/volume? Interesting.

Once it becomes personal, I don't care. It's all just noise.

It's much more complex than that. Unless, of course, it's fine with you that one permits the other just to walk all over him--which, of course, you would do in the same circumstance, right? Right!

That's two questions you avoided answering. Might ask yourself why.

So you felt like you were being walked over?

What I find interesting is the amount of time and energy you are willing to devote to this.

I certainly get walked on, yes. Currently both Lovecraft and Zeb are folding little zingers at me into most of the threads they are on.

Only when it's substantive, as on this one, do I respond. (Not, of course, that you notice.) Nor do I start it. (Not, of course, that you allow yourself to observe it).

But I know why they do it--and I know why folks like you ignore it and pretend that it's equal on both sides.

I also know that Gina Tina is absolutely right--it's just this sort of thing that gets people reading these threads. You too, I'll bet. And objecting to it is just one of those Internet games.

Don't worry about my devotion of time and energy, love. I drop in here for short respites from what is a very, very productive life. (which takes us back to why the Lovecrafts and Zebs of the board are on the attack.)

 

[SydneyBlake]

Okay. Now that I’m at a real computer, and this is obviously so important, and I’m looking for reasons to avoid writing, I went back to look at the posts.

First of all, Pilot, darling, you don’t get walked on. That implies that you lie down, which you don’t. (And I'm not implying that you should.) And don’t go saying what I do and don’t notice; just because I don’t comment (publicly) doesn’t mean I don’t notice. It could mean a whole host of things, none of which you know about.

I read your posts (most of the time) because I know you often share useful information. Sometimes, you share the same info over and over and over, OMG! Oh, yeah, the thread…

#219—LC states his opinion.

#221—Pilot states an opposing opinion.

#222—LC restates his opinion with his reasons for having said opinion.

#224—Pilot restates his opinion with his reasons for having said opinion.

#225—LC repeats his opinion.

#226—Talismania agrees with Pilot.

#227—Autoplot agrees with LC.

#228—Pilot disagrees with Autoplot.

#229—Autoplot comments again.

#231—Pilot restates his argument to Autoplot’s post.

#232—Autoplot comments.

#233—Some guy with a big dick agrees with Pilot.

#234—Pilot responds to Autoplot. (Sorry, but Pilot’s starting to sound like a broken record at this point. But the discussion is still a friendly one.)

#235—Some guy with a big dick shows up again. Who cares what he’s saying? I just look at the AV.

#236—Autoplot answers Pilot’s question and signs off.

#237—Pilot tells Autoplot to try it his way.

#238—LC chimes in again to hammer us with his fucking opinion again.

#239—And Pilot restates his argument again because those knuckleheads are obviously not getting the point! He at least admits that “we are going around in circles.”

#240—Oh fuck! What the hell is LC saying now??? That he’s a piñata??? What?! Somebody give me that fucking stick!!!

#241—Pilot tells LC to try it his way with lots of green smiley faces. (I hate your fucking signature, btw; it takes up too much fucking space.)

#242—Disappointed that LC has remained silent, Pilot jabs the piñata again. Where’s the fucking candy??? Gimme my fucking candy!!!

#245—Oh, FUCK ME! LC comes back with some gawdawful long response—how many damn lines was that??? Show! Don’t Tell!!! How many times do I have to tell you that??? Give me the stick back. He hates it when I threaten him with long, cylindrical objects. No truer words were ever spoken when Milton said, “Long is the way!”

#246—Sigh. I knew this wasn’t over. Pilot must speak again.

#247—Somebody woke Autoplot up. And what the hell is that in his signature???

#248—Now Pilot’s defending himself.

#252—Pilot is dumbfounded. (Well, not really. We could only hope.) But he’s wondering why the bystanders are jeering at him.

#260—Pilot likes Syd’s tits. I knew it.


There. That’s what I read.

 

[KarlMartinK]

Good summary!

And thanks!

Interesting that you overlooked the start of personal attack in the last paragraph of LC's #240.

Evidence "the bystanders." There were probably a couple of hundred posters looking at this thread. You use the same lame "everbody" claim LC did.

Up to #240 this was mostly folks whining about not having options and me pointing to all the options they have here (most of which they don't get elsewhere) pointing out their apples/oranges examples and suggesting they try one none of them apparently were willing to try--although they were quite happy to say it wouldn't work.

Most of my repetition was a response to my suggestions just being ignored--apparently because people just wanted to whine.

And as far as I know, I've never seen your tits.

The question arises why you came in--other than to play the Mother Theresa Internet game--since you didn't seem to care about the discussion at all. Pretty much to play one of the fomenting variations of the game, right?

Overlooked it? Why else would I want to beat him with a pinata stick? (Okay, maybe that wasn't very obvious, coming from me; that sick motherfucker would probably enjoy it, too.)

But what happened at #242?

...lame "everbody" claim...

Hey, you rhymed.

...this was mostly folks whining about not having options and me pointing to all the options they have here...Most of my repetition was a response to my suggestions just being ignored--apparently because people just wanted to whine.

I know. Doesn't that fucking suck?

...And as far as I know, I've never seen your tits.
...

Oops. My bad. Different thread.

Mother Theresa? Damn, I'm doing something wrong.

Fomenting? <looking up 'foment' in the dictionary> But you just compared me to Mother Theresa! Now I'm confused.

But you have to admit, I'm a hell of a lot more fun than Elfin.

Oh, and I've never deleted comments, but writing in romance, I don't typically have to. I get interesting emails, tho.

 

[SydneyBlake]

Oh, no no! Thank you!

So do my female pen names.

I don't remember seeing your tits on another thread either.

#242 is penning down the fallacy of the last paragraph of #240. I was raised in the era of massive retaliation. (Having basically only one--even if interminable--story on Lit. is pretty well described as a one-note samba, I think. )

Damn! You're still awake???

Oooh, too bad you missed that one!

Yes, you're very witty.

But are you ready for this? The samba's actually pretty good. Rough--in more ways than one--but good.

 

[sr71plt]

Damn! You're still awake???

Yep, still up, but I shouldn't be--it's a 6:45 call in the morning and I don't normally do mornings at all.

But are you ready for this? The samba's actually pretty good. Rough--in more ways than one--but good.

So? The point wasn't how good his essentially one story is--although, from the subject matter, I won't read it. It was his suggesting I wouldn't know comment/voting patterns here (and he would) even though I've been posting stories here two and a half times as long as he has, have posted ten times the stories that he has chapters (including some pretty long novels myself), and have posted to fourteen more categories than he has.

Thanks for the opportunity to repeat that. Maybe it will actually sink in with him.

Back to the topic of deleting comments or not. While there is no right or wrong, I agree with the pilot. I delete the troll comments. If they return, I delete them again until they get tired of doing it.

My reasons for not leaving a troll comment on my stories is simply because I don't want another reader coming along and commenting on the troll's comment, then another reader comments on that reader's comment, and so on. IMO, it's just easier to delete the troll comments and move on.

But if an author wants to leave the troll comments and take the chance of seeing 'arguments' and 'bickering' (much like in this thread) on their stories, that's their prerogative. Of course, as a reader, often times I'll skim through the comments on a story before reading it and if I see stuff like that, which I have, I'll get the impression the author doesn't care and is just interested in putting his/her story there. And more often than not, I won't read the story for that reason.

Just my two cents. Yeah, I know, no one asked for it.

Syd,

Pilot was not still awake. his posts, like his novels are co authored.

I can understand that point. I still feel that for me personally just leaving them alone works-maybe I have gotten lucky and I have trolls that lose interest or fans that just ignore them because I have not had the "run on" commentary.

I do however want to thank you for making a point that did not insult the opinions of others.

#247—Somebody woke Autoplot up. And what the hell is that in his signature???

I laughed. Then I got all self-conscious.

I'm guessing you're too much of a nitwit to realize what an idiotic comment that is.

Can't be too idiotic, you felt the need to respond as you always do.:

Now see how annoying that stupid little smiley is?

Using phrases like massive retaliation shows what an insufferable egomaniac you really are.

This is a forum not a street fight there is no retaliation here.

Retaliation denotes(at least to those who were not raised in a white collar elitist environment ) a physical confrontation not making smart ass remarks while you hide behind a computer.
