The General Board Sucks!

[rosco rathbone]

i should add...

cookies! cookies! spanking! teehee!

Exactly. I'll take the open hostility over the passive-aggressive cookie thing any day. This board starts to feel claustrophobic.

 

[dolf]

and i should add...

the gb is not a bdsm forum.
if you're open about your lifestyle then you should know that ignorant, closed minded twits will not approve. the great thing about the gb is that you can be as abusive as you like is responding to their small minded rants.

 

[RawHumor]

at least the hostility is open and honest.

Heh. That's an excellent point... though it's not all honest over there either.

I've posted in the GB quite a while, but was never stabbed as viciouisly as I was here.

Haha, trust me, I did not cry about it. I was just bitching.

 

[iceburg1]

bitching, crying...

same diff really

Umm... no. One involves wishing you could smack someone upside the head, and the other involves tissues.

This is hilarious. It was an argument simply for the sake of arguing. I felt like arguing, and she took the bait. With the mood I was in at the time, I'd have argued that the sky wasn't blue.
She made the comment in that thread that if I read more of her posts, I'd know what kind of independent, opinionated person she is. And now here you all are assuming you know me, based soley on the posts in that thread. How quaint.
No one else seems to notice, well in this thread at least, that her opening post was just a little stupid. Calling someone Master and then talking about how disgusting men are? Please. On the GB, you're just asking to be picked on for that. It's the general board, it's what happens. Don't like it, don't post there. Everyone gets offended eventually. I've even had submissives private messaging me because they agree that to ask someone if you can clean disgusting things out of a fridge is just stupid. It's common sense.
As for your lifestyle, I could really care less. That's not me being ignorant and offensive, it's just me saying to each his/her own. I'm open to damn near everything, and I've done shit that I won't reveal to the public, because I don't want to open myself up to what she did. There's a guy on the general board right now talking about pissing orgies. And he's getting made fun of. It happens. Better go start a thread about how you support him.
Just so you're all aware, someone started an appreciation thread for me last night that has already doubled the post count of this thread. I must be a pretty awful guy. Being infamous is kind of neat though, so keep it up, I guess.

As for that Spaced dude, notice he said a short haircut wouldn't suit him either? £10 says he needs a fire crew and a crane to move him from in front of his monitor.

I. Have. A. Profile. Picture.
Paypal work for you?

So what are you doing here exactly I wonder?

Can't imagine why I didn't go running breathlessly to check.

Actually, since she was apartment sitting for him, asking permission to do a thorough cleaning isnt all that out of bounds ~ submissive or not. If I were house/apartment sitting for someone, I would clean up any mess that my being there created, but before I did any other cleaning, I might ask the owner, "hey.. is it ok if I clean this up, this was kind of gross.. "But it's still their place and if they wanted foul-smelling bacteria and mold growing in their fridge, that's their right.

Okay, this is stupid.

Let me put it to you this way, as a girl who rarely posts on the BDSM forums but reads them regularly, and who posts on the GB regularly.

The GB is a joke.

Seriously.

It is where people troll, bash, and make fun of others-- and those who enjoy doing that go there to have fun.

It is a place where sarcasm and pointless arguing finds its home regularly.

As a GBer, I will say, shut the fuck up, get over yourself, quit complaining. It's a goddamn internet forum. You expect everyone to be all nice to you?

As someone who likes Spaceboy, I will say that he was out of place by pointless arguing, and I don't really approve of what he did, or necessarily what he said, but he's not a bad guy, and I think he was just playing devil's advocate.

As someone who reads the BDSM forums, I will say... Just calm down, stop posting about it, and people will get over it pretty quickly. The people here will defend you, but the people of the GB now think you're a whiny brat.

Whatever the case may be, I'm honest, I don't like you or dislike you, but I think you need to learn how this place works.

Hope I helped. I apologize if I was too brutally honest for your tastes.

 

[BiBunny]

I find it interesting that you don't see many of us running to the GB and bitching, but the reverse isn't true....Hmmm.

I found the thread because I read the BDSM boards.

I'm only bitching because this is stupid and pointless.

So I suppose I'm only aiding the cause...

I guess this is my last post on this thread.

 

[Yang4yin]

As someone who used to post almost exclusively on the BDSM boards and who now posts on the GB, let me add my 2¢...

The GB has much better pic threads!

And, if you don't like what someone posts, you can choose not to read that person's posts, read but not respond, or just ignore every thread started by that person. It works no matter where you decide to go.

 

[the_pet]

GB = Great Bunch

GB = Goofy Bastards


....sometimes that board seems harsh others times it's funny as hell and Yang is right, the pics threads are AWESOME

[killallhippies]

hooray for my scrotum!

 

[cherokee_dove]

The General Board as itself, a listing of forums on Lit; is not a bad place in itself.

Its SOME of the people there that make it seem bad. And easiest way to deal with those individual people that are stirring up shit??? IGGY!

That way, you don't have to get all upset by what they say, and don't have to keep argueing with them. Because thats what those that start the crap want, arguments.

Exactly. Thank you!

 

[Spaceboy]

So what are you doing here exactly I wonder?
Can't imagine why I didn't go running breathlessly to check.

Well, there was a thread started about what a jerk I was. I couldn't help but wander in to check it out.
I find it humorous that you all like to say how ignorant I am in here, but before I decided to assume someone was of a certain physicality, I think I'd check first. Maybe you just like being proven wrong, who knows.
So anyway, does Paypal work for you?

That is a good point, I'll admit.
I'd also just like to say that if we're fucking, you can do whatever you want with my curdled milk. Throw it away, bathe in it, whatever.
