tbh I’m amazed at the fortitude anyone has to read Ghost’s giant long posts. I hear them referenced and I go to look because I’m curious and I usually get a couple of lines in and I’m like

I mean, to be fair, you do have to keep an eye on those squirrels, some of them have college degrees.

Why so much reaching across the aisle to ensure that you’re continuing to interact with people you don’t like, Ghost?

Ah, I get it. Slow news day.

Every day is a slow news day when there’s only 10 posters left and like two active threads!

Also, fucking lol at whoever is upvoting themself with that alt account that was made 4 years ago and hasn’t made a single post.

thought we wouldn't notice

I promise, Devrex, I would also like people to stop going over there to name call. If you think that’s what I was doing when I posted for a while-- I wasn’t. Give me some good faith. I was pointing out one thing that I thought was unfair and egregious.

But basically, both boards are doing the same thing at this point. Vague ‘look at them, eating crackers!’ posts, because honestly, we are still one community and this schism is silly and makes me sad.

so us posting on here about you guys posting about us on there-- yeah, that’s gonna happen. I wish people would stop posting on there, though, too.

but, i didn’t go post because i was ‘bored’. i posted because i really thought my point could be acknowledged about how stupid Narson’s banning was, but scar getting unbanned, etc, and how arbitrary this shit was.

Are you an accountant studying for your CPA or does BEC mean something different???

This is the enduring mystery, the truth that may solve this crack in spacetime that threatens to devour all of reality.

i feel like trying to language police a hobby full of erotic writers and social outcasts is, uh, a choice.

But it’s only a personal attack if you say a naughty word, I thought.

Shit. So I just call you a jerk instead of a fucking jerk, right?

I’m genuinely baffled that sarcasm keeps getting tossed into those lists, but to each their own.

(I am definitely worth being culled from the community on that metric though, my blood sarcasm level is at least 0.23 percent, I’m dying of sarcasm poisoning, it’s very sad)

There’s a reminder here that a lot of people have thinner skin than I do. It’s definitely a good thing to be reminded of, right? It doesn’t make them a terrible person or anything – my own mother can’t really handle foul language because it triggers a trauma response from experiences with my father, I get that.

Still, I’m not sure trying to force that change on a whole community of the sorts of people who gladly flout social norms is the right play.

ETA: flout, not flaunt. my eternal word nemesis.

This was funnier when it just said ‘Shit’ and nothing else, boo.

I am mildly curious to what Meg said to cause them to decide she was just going to make trouble. Then, I realized that is the go-to response they have for any of the ‘bad actors’ that are part of BMD. So, anything most anyone here says on MSB is out to cause trouble over, you know, trying to genuinely make peace or understand.
