Hey! There's a thread where people are insulting me!

http://www.livejournal.com/users/ithinkyousuck/23833.html?thread=608025#t608025

There's about six posts there, presumably from six different people (or one person six times, but that'd be a little pathetic).




WOW! COOL!

*giggles and twirls*

Can you believe it? I'm actually grinning here! Which really is pathetic, but no more so than the concept of that thread. Pity I can't even say that I'm in good company.... *rolls her eyes*

*thinks about it*

Well, obviously the first poster has to be somebody whom I offended. I just have to figure out the date and I can figure out who posted it. If I care, that is. Right now I'm just too busy being awestruck at the fact that people are wasting time over li'l ol' me. It's VERY cool.

I am confused.

LJs are for OURSELVES. Who is making anyone read anyone's LJ they don't want to? And who says they NEED to be interesting to anyone other than ourselves?

These people obviously don't comprehend the concept of a JOURNAL.

Exactly. If you don't want to read it, don't.

C'mon people.

I attempted to explain this to my own anon-stalker, who is "disgusted" by my spelling errors, and just has to let me know about it, over and over again.

I suppose it's possible they're talking about entries or comments in communities. But really, he/she/they should use his/her/their name(s). I don't take anonymous comments seriously. Does anyone?

I find conuly's journal interesting, personally.

[literalgirl.livejournal.com]

Likewise. That is why I added her. :-)

I have to read a journal for a while before I add, and I sometimes don't have time to do that as fast as I'd like to. And sometimes I like a journal but don't add it because it doesn't exactly "fit" with my friends page, which probably makes NO sense to anyone but me! Oh well. That is why they are our journals and not someone else's. ;-)

Linguistics?

Do you think they may be complaining about the whole "nonstandard vs. wrong" perseveration? For some reason, people become very upset when they are told that they are wrong about saying someone else is wrong.

Re: Linguistics?

[literalgirl.livejournal.com]

Perhaps.

I disagree on some points with Conuly on that, BUT I still think her writing is very cool, and often, profound. :-)

1. And, amazingly enough, you disagree with me about it and you DON'T ABSOLUTELY HATE ME! Isn't that awesome!!!!!! *rolls her eyes* It's amazing that some people don't understand that you can argue with another person (or not, if that's your wont) without hating them. And you can disagree on ONE point without disagreeing on EVERY point.

2. I'm not profound. Am I? Where and when? And why do you think that?

We've had this discussion some time ago. You post things sometimes that just blow my mind. I love reading your LJ - I never know what you'll make me think about next. :-)

That said, I won't probably be reading it much over the next week, as I am off to Ireland tomorrow. :-)

Just a tangent, what's interesting about my linguistics bit is that it cuts both ways... I'm very much into promoting standard speech, and have actually corrected teachers. The difference between me and them is that I *know* it's illogical, and I don't pretend that it's because one way is actually better.

I will say one thing, and I'm very Bucky Katt about it, too.

The Philosopher's Stone is a standard peice of alchemical lore. There is no such thing as a Sorcerer's Stone, and anyone who uses the terms interchangably is demonstrating a basic lack of cultural literacy.

[conuly]

They're anonymous so I can't get mad. And so that I don't know how many people are actually talking :)

Off Topic - your Lindsay icon is sexay :0)

Glad you like it, or him, whatever the case may be. :)
