That the "popular" posters on here are often rude.

I won't mention names but some of them seem to be popular for....not a lot really. Certain people come to mind who have a reputation for being straight talking and funny but most of the time I don't see it. I find them rather disagreeable tbh. Is it just me?

I don't like those.

You only get one question, you don't get a chat like what they call it.

I miss agreeing with Hecate. I used to like a good agree with Hecate.

Sad
Hullygully · 08/10/2015 13:31

buffy how did you lose reasonable so quickly??

And does that mean you no longer are?

Third thing eh? hmmm

Hullygully · 08/10/2015 13:32

has hec gone?

Sparklingbrook · 08/10/2015 13:32

Nabootique I namechanged for a few weeks. It was quite good, very liberating. But ended up posting a picture of Duran Duran and got rumbled. Grin

Royalty?

thornrose · 08/10/2015 13:33

That's for the Venn diagram. Or are popular and royalty the same?

Aramynta · 08/10/2015 13:34

I don't get why it bothers anyone or if there even is a popularity thing going on.

I know a couple of threads have been reported based on the fact a certain poster hasn't replied, but I don't see women peeing their pants excitedly if a more prolific poster acknowledges them in some way.

Funny for the third thing.

It's acceptable to be rude occasionally if you are often funny.

Also articulateness (word?) But makes for a complex Venn.

Aramynta · 08/10/2015 13:35

LOL Sparkling i've never heard such a method of outing yourself before Grin

MidnightVelvetthe3rd · 08/10/2015 13:35

I couldn't really name any popular poster on here nowadays, not like a few years ago. They have either gone or namechanged....

Nabootique · 08/10/2015 13:36

You sneaky sneak Sparkling! Grin I didn't see the Duran Duran outing. How funny. Did someone just accuse you of being yourself?

Hullygully · 08/10/2015 13:36

yes I quite see the dilemma buffy

inadvertent handmaidenry is the very devil

ShammyDavis · 08/10/2015 13:36

It's good to know Hec is still here being Hec-like. Smile

But still it's not quite the same.

PrincessTooty · 08/10/2015 13:36

I'm a prolific poster but I name change every few days. I don't warm to posters, whoever they may be, who are blunt and rude. Especially when they seem proud of their straight talking 'honest' posts.

In theory, I try to only write posts I would be happy if RL friends and family to read. I might write cringe'y drivel but I try not to be an arse about it. It doesn't always work out like that and occasionally I am snarky. I don't like it when everyone and their dog pile on to an OP even if the OP has been a bit Confused

You have to remind yourself it's only the Internet.
