Category: the Rant Board
Okay, I’m not normally the type who rants, but I just gotta say this ‘cause it’s pissing me off. There’s this girl who’s on Skype, and she added me to her contacts. Not sure why, as she has never actually initiated a conversation with me, but whatever. Anyways…I’ll not name names, but tonight I saw that she’d changed her status message on Skype. It said, and I quote: “Dear Admins of the Zone, You should go kill yourselves. No love from, me.”
Seriously, that’s what it said. I mean, come on! How lame is that? Okay, so I’m assuming she got banned, but I’m sure it was for a legitimate reason. So far, most everyone on here has been super nice to me, and I really like this site. I’ve no clue what this person’s problem is, but I really wish that she’d decided to be adult and take the issue up with the admins privately, rather than putting it up on Skype that way, and in such a rude and disrespectful manner. I mean, I get that she’s mad, but still…*sigh* Whatever. She wants to be a bitch, that’s her prerogative, I suppose. Needless to say, I am removing her from my Skype contacts.
wow.
people like that really get on my nerves
good choice deleting her
you don't need someone like that on your list
Lol, I bet I know who that was too, cause there's one girl in particular that has had something with the admins ever since they banned her. *sighs*
I agree with Dan, good choice removing her from your list.
Well you know what they say. With friends like that, who needs enemies? LOL.
I would just name names. If she chooses to be this disrespectful in public, then I see no reason in respecting her. Good in deleting.
Yeah, I think I might have a pretty good idea who this is, too. I could be wrong, but who knows? Anyway, I agree that you made the right choice deleting her. She's clearly showing how, um, mature she is. *Sarcastic face*. People who really have that strong of feelings against this site seriously need to grow up, get a life, or both. But, to the original poster, I'm glad you do like it around here, and that people have generally been nice to you. Smile.
It shows how much the Zone means to her and what a big part of her life it was if she is posting statuses on Skype complaining about being banned, and trying to get the attention of Zone members who don't know her.
I think that is the problem. People should not get so attached to specific websites.
There are websites I'd miss using if I was banned from them, but when you sign up to something that is moderated, that's a risk you take. If you get banned, it's up to you - not the mods who banned you - to find an alternative website or something else to do with your time.
i think i know who it is too:)
Well, you've fair point there, Eleni. As I said, she was never my friend; I never knew her. She just randomly added me, I accepted her, and that was the last I heard of her. Her name was Kristen something or other; she had a weird last name.
Yeah, I'm with Alicia. Way to show your lack of maturity! Lol. Whatever. I don't need shit like that in my life, so off my list she goes. Moving on!
Stop excepting strangers. You might not like what they have to say. When you except them you are saying that you are willing to give them space to express their opinions no matter if you like them, or not. It is not her fault that you don't like what she had to say, because Skype is not a public form, but a private one. You did exercise your right, in that you did not agree with her, so you removed her and her opinions from your private space. No person is going to be completely happy with all decisions made no matter how fair. I am glad she didn't post anything more personal. She should take a lesson from this board. Only offer your personal thought, that are suppose to be private to people you know will keep them so. It is a blessing you did not name her. Smile. Just my thoughts.
I don't think that chick meant for her thoughts to be private. She wanted people to know her feelings, wanted to whine for and get attention. In a way, she's done it. LOL.
I always think that when a website takes over your thought processes to that extent it's possibly time to step away from the computer.
Thing is, she has achieved exactly what she wanted hasn't she? People post status messages for one reason and one reason only - attention. And now here it is being discussed on a (publicaaly accessible) message board where she is able to see the attention she is getting from her little outburst. And for people like that any attention is good attention.
I don't see why this is such a big deal. I bitch on my statuses all the time, about people, life, the universe and everything. Its a status, its not a 5000 page thesis on the subject. So she said something you didn't like on a skipe status. I ask you, whose the more immature, the person who puts up a simple skipe status to express a negative feeling about something she disagrees with, or the person who lets themself get so upset over someone else's status being about something they didn't like. Are you going to throw a hissy fit over a skipe status, grow up.
I have to agree with Cody here. I really don't see what the big issue is, either. yes, she really needs to get a life, but so do you if it's stuff like this that's bothering you. especially if what you say is true, and you don't rant about stuff very often. This is the rant you chose to post? wow.
I agree with Cody, though I don't know the situation in particular: Don't we all belly-ache some on Facebook or whatever? And for some of us, it's a bitch about others bitching, or ... how certain young fools can't help but geolocate (or is it geoloc8 now?) from everywhere, etc.
So, some allege the status poster needs, as they say, a life: some of us get called 'soooo meeeeean!' (gotta love the way they stretch out them vowels). Makes little difference. Said status poster has no doubt merrily gone lmfao-ing off to ten other forums and a couple of them 'Connect and meet up' sites by now. It's a zoo, man, only thing is there are no long lines.
But, I too would've probably blocked her especially if spammy chats came in. Have a laugh and a few beers about it.
I agree with those who say your attitude is just as ridiculous, if not more so than the person you're ranting about. if things of this nature bother you to such a ginormous degree, I shutter to see how you'd react when faced with bigger curveballs.
We can argue all day about the weight of the issue in comparison to some imaginary grand scheme, but the only thing that comes to my mind is this. OK, you got inconvenienced or your feathers got ruffled or your feelings got hurt, and your solution to the problem is that those who did the deed should die? Punishment is just a bit on the extreme side in comparison to the crime, don'tcha think?
Personally I don't think the original post was all that bad, and after all, this is the *rant* board. Why is it that whenever someone rants on this board, at least one person has to cut them down for ranting. Maybe the admins should take the rant board away? I don't think so.
Well,if it makes you guys feel any better, I'm not pissed about it anymore. I just wanted to itch about it. Now, I am dong btching. Like I said imy originl post, I ammoving on. End o' story. Discussion is closed.
LibraLady makes a good point. I said something like this on Facebook recently and I'll say it here. I bet if I were concerned about the most important and worthwhile thing one can be concerned about, some clown's going to come along and say, "aren't there better or bigger or more important things you could be worried about?" Here's an answer you could use next time somebody says that. "Yes, there are more important things, but fuck them, I'm bothered about this thing." Hahahahahaha!
O yes, anyone can rant, but that doesn't mean the rest of us can't share our thoughts about it. these are discussion boards, after all. having said that, I'm glad to hear you don't seem to be pissed about it anymore. I guess everyone just needs to get something off their chest every once in awhile. Usually that thing only happens to me if said situation is either about me, or someone I'm very close to, but again, just my opinion.
It is only a status.
keep ranting, keep on ranting about something. we used to say here as we have to share our feelings at least to someone who he or she is reliable and intimate to us. otherwise we'll go mad, you know.
Whether you believe me or not, even though I do hate few part of this strange people here, I often visit here to get entertained. and I've gone up by 25 kilograms since when I've joined here to this site. See? how much I got addicted to this? let's start a board topic as "zone addiction" or zonebbs is a virtual drug. hmmmm?
