Quick Note to Those Following DD's LJ entry

Quick Note for Those At Work Who Surf LJ

Thanks to a marvelously attractive troll (oh, this is totally the guy I want to date; nothing says healthy relationship like anal porn spam), [livejournal.com profile] devildoll's lj entry on the MJ thing is no longer work safe. Please avoid page ten for now. But don't worry--if you want to read sad trolls, page nine and eight are still awesome for it. One of them writes poetry!

No, seriously. Well, okay, the trolls all run together, but I thin he wrote poetry. Actually, I kind of want to hook that one up with my sister. They could have a really good time talking about their empty pain and eating fritos. I'm serious. I'm sending her a link to his lj. A troll, to be honest, would be a step *up* in her dating life. This one looks like he bathes.

Those of you at work--yeah. It's not horrifically explicit, but it slams up pretty hard against our work rules.

Okay, for the record--I'll probably be commenting on the MJ thing more. If it's *really* irritating, I'm not going to apologize, but I do understand how annoying it gets when something isn't your thing and you keep *seeing it everywhere*.

(See Fallout Boy. I have nothing against them. But oh my God, I feel like it has surrounded me and is calling for my surrender.)

ETA 1:03 PM - Worksafe! Now you, too, can marvel at the charm and charisma of these fine minds that have raised the level of discourse to such dizzying heights!

Enjoy.

*nods*

You called her a prude, then wrote this:

Finally, if you don't like comments that disagree with you, DON'T F-ING BLOG! You're pulling a severe reverse malkin here, acting all offended.

And you seriously aren't seeing a problem here?

Okay, here are the rules on my lj. You can respond to me, politely. You can respond to other people, politely. You may not respond to DD in any way for any reason.

Your last comment to DD was deleted. This is my flist, these are my friends, and these are my basic rules. If you follow them, you're absolutely welcome here.

What's wrong with prude?

I think prude is an acceptable term--people pride themselves on it--and reverse malkin is as accepted a term on the blogs as sockpuppet and fisking.

I don't allow anonymous commenting here outside specific circumstances. All comments that are anonymous are automatically screened and depending on content, can be deleted. This one will be unscreened. All others will need to be under your username.

It was more the 'fucking blog' comment that got to me, to be honest, as well as your representation of DD's attitude toward dissent. The first seven pages have a lot of dissent as well as agreement. If you haven't read this yet, then I suggest doing so.

And prude has always been a derogatory term and you know this.

Sorry, didn't log in

Wow, I didn't even type out the word and you were offended? I don't even know where to begin if that's your standard. Is this an under 18 blog or something?

And no, here's the wiki on prude http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prudery It jibes with my OED. If you find it insulting, maybe its because you don't want to be thought of in that way. That's the problem with reactionary feminism, it's just another conservative response masquerading as a progressive one.

S'okay. I always forget to relogin at work and end up posting my first comment anonymously.

*shrug* Again, you don't find it insulting. That's fine. And when DD found it insulting, you could have said, sorry and been done with it. Instead, you engage in semantics and call me a troll. You see the problem with this?

When did Prude Become a Dirty Word???

[identity profile] charlesthefew.livejournal.com 2007-05-17 07:40 pm (UTC)(link)
I could have called her a dworkinist, but I figured that would be lost in translation. In your young life you may not have run into it yet, but some people actually are proud of being prudish.

My expressions of frustration are no more wrong than your syncophantic ones. Delete me or whatever, I won't be back to this silly corner of the net. I think sticking to kos, crooksandliars and feministing will more than fill my need for commentary, without the frustration.

*thoughtful* That? Is an excellent idea.

And, much like DD, you utterly fail to respond to a point. This place is worse than Craigslist! The regulars don't even know they're trollish!

I have no idea what point you were trying to make, to be honest. You don't find prude offensive. She did. She has the right to delete, freeze, and ban what she finds offensive. *shrug* I have the right to delete, freeze, or ban what I find offensive. It's--well. Her LJ. If she doesn't want to have to deal with it, she doesn't have to.

Disable comments!

It's what all the GOP bloggers are doing . . .

I have no idea. I don't read GOP blogs. I'll take your word for it.

I am in awe of your patience and fortitude here.

I love drinks. With umbrellas!

Also--seriously, watching DD the master of the troll-stop is aweing.
