I've namechanged for this, and won't name any of the MNetters that I'm referring to (so please don't either!). BUT, do you ever find the same MNetters on threads you are commenting on - and they always disagree with what you think??

This seems to happen to me alot and I find myself really disliking them, which is ridiculous. Sat here on my computer, they aren't even real people, just paragraphs of text on the screen so how can I dislike them so much??!

Am I the only one that gets this? Or are there more of you out there that are just as irrational as me?

Mamazon · 24/08/2009 23:41

LetThemEatCake · 24/08/2009 23:43

AnyFucker · 24/08/2009 23:43

Hi-five back atcha MMH

LTEC, and you are the prettiest MN'er, according to your profile pics, and I try not to hold it against you

psst, btw, the fishy one is alive and kicking under another name, although the "famous" attitude seems a little toned-down (so far, at least)

Platesmasher · 24/08/2009 23:43

lmao at bullet proof weave. toooooo funny.

FuckOffDailyMail · 24/08/2009 23:43

She's back LetThem

MrsMerryHenry · 24/08/2009 23:44

Glad you like it. That one definitely goes down in the anus of youtube history.

ilovemydogandmrobama · 24/08/2009 23:51

Think I preferred Leningrad.

So the North Atlantic depleted one is back?

AnyFucker · 24/08/2009 23:52

you mean you haven't noticed ?

Platesmasher · 24/08/2009 23:56

I hardly recognise anyone at the moment.
So much namechanging.

LesbianCommunistImmigrantPaedo · 24/08/2009 23:58

ilove - I'm not Leningrad. Or lesbian, communist, immigrant or paedo. Not that there's anything wrong with the first three. Just to clear that up.

AnyFucker · 25/08/2009 00:02

yes platesmasher, there is, isn't there ???

< hard stare >

although I accept maybe yours was for less wussy reasons

Platesmasher · 25/08/2009 00:04

oh yes, but i do announce my namechanges.

got a bit tired of the 'ew i just googled' and having a 'novelty' name.

kind of miss it though sometimes.

ilovemydogandmrobama · 25/08/2009 00:04

Oh fair enough. Could understand my confusion though!

And am sure paedo anything would not be associated with any legit poster here, right?

Thunderduck · 25/08/2009 00:07

Are you Dragonbutter?

Platesmasher · 25/08/2009 00:09

me? yes.

Thunderduck · 25/08/2009 00:11

Yes you.

I'll have to remember that. I barely know who's who now.

Platesmasher · 25/08/2009 00:12

i'm likely to switch back and forth.
i have a clean name and a dirrty name.

Platesmasher · 25/08/2009 00:13

g'night

Penthesileia · 25/08/2009 00:16

LOL @ this thread.

What's worse (or weirder at least), is when you think you hate someone (that is, you've had a run-in with them, or just read lots of objectionable posts by them), and whenever you see them on a thread you get all huffy and , but then - all of a sudden - they agree with you say something sensible and wise, and you are forced to revise your opinion. Actually, it's one of the things I really like about MN, in that - in RL - it's quite hard to "forget" things someone has said, or ideas you associate with them; but here, you do forget who said what and when and why, etc., so unless you work quite hard at it, it is hard to hold grudges. It's helped me grow as a person, doncha know.

Thunderduck · 25/08/2009 00:18

Good night.

LesbianCommunistImmigrantPaedo · 25/08/2009 00:19

Penthe - I feel personally let down when the reverse happens - when you've been reading someone's posts and nodding and wishing you had that turn of phrase, and then they go and make an absolute tit of themselves and you for them.

LesbianCommunistImmigrantPaedo · 25/08/2009 00:20

Oh ilove - I'm not a legitimate poster - but I probably should be going to bed. Nanight.
