I'm kind of two people sharing the same body. A division of mind, two personalities with some shared memories.
I read some posts in this community & go "Yes... that sounds familiar. I'm glad I'm not alone."
I read some posts and go "Riiight... nutter, nut-ter. Notjob"
This place occasionally makes me feel sane because I read things from literate inteligent people who just happen to be sharing a body with others. Occasionally it makes me feel sane because I read posts and realise that I'm a healty sane multiple, not insane like the poster.
I'll not single out any individuals (forgive the pun) but the nut-job posts I read usually ... heck. I'm not going to give examples. I think you know which ones I'm refering to.

she merely suggested that some of the posts on this community suggest oddity, the likes of which has been seen before, and the likes of which can sometimes be judged [negatively] correctly, if you know what to look for.
she said that the nutty-sounding posts make the people seem wacky; she never said anything that placed them any lower than the general run-of-the-mill moron that everyone defines for himself.
comparing things to schoolyard gossip, on the other hand, is an outright pretentious thing to say. self-righteous "you're closed-minded!" responses will never be taken seriously.

Date: 2005-08-25 06:52 pm (UTC)i think her post was unnecessary and unnecessarily "aggresive" or "negative", but i also think it's possible to understand what the hell she's trying to say.
basically that some people are dumbasses.
hahaha

Insane? dumbasses? As part of a fairly aggressive post? That's insults.

Date: 2005-08-26 02:27 am (UTC)i don't necessarily take her side, i just understand that she isn't being a total asshole, which it definitely could seem like.
eh the rest of what i'm trying to say is too hard to verbalize so i give up hahaha
