My Disclosure

[KaraCooks]

Ok, if you personally don't like sarcasm, then you have two choices:

1 - block that user using the ignore function
2 - report that user (if he or she has violated the rules) using the report function.

Going off into a full fledged swearing rant because someone uses sarcasm in a thread you started, is counter productive and it makes you look bad.

If you have a problem with an individual, take it up with them - in PM please. Or ask them nicely to tone down the sarcasm because it bothers you. But don't tell them not to post in your thread ... because message boards don't work that way.

I mean, idk maybe it's me. I just really did not understand where all that sarcasm was coming from b/c it was jus SO left field. So it almost came across as you mocking me or making fun of me or what. Idk. It just didn't make sense... I mean, i know you said ur just a "funny" (if thats really what you want to call it) type of person and you like cracking what YOU call "jokes". But ... idk ... it was just really ... weird/awkward/annoying. Especially cuz you just kept going with it.

Okay, I'll remember those two options for next time.

Okay, well if my "problem" is so trivial and insignificant, then there's a LOT of people out there with that same "problem". Maybe it's not so trivial after all.

There are millions of people who don't know how to boil water, but it doesn't change the fact that it's just not that big of a deal to fix. Just because there are a ton of people who have the same "problem", it doesn't mean that the issue is any larger than what it really is.

And you're not "attacking anything straight on", you're not being constructive, you're not being helpful, you're just being sarcastic--so much to the point where you're defending the liberty of sarcasm, as if it's what makes the world go 'round. "Life would be so boring without it." Who gives fuck? Excuse my language but honestly...c'mon now....!

Right, who gives a fuck? Why do you care if I'm sarcastic or not? But, to use your own flawed mentality...

There are millions of people who are just as sarcastic as I am, so, by your own logic, it must be totally normal to be this way. So, why do you have a problem with it?

And yeah I ALLOWED for comments, but I was hoping that they'd be decent comments about others own personal experiences relating to what I posted, and I was getting that. That I could share my ideas with others and vice versa--thats the point of posting a particular thread based on a particular subject. This thread isn't titled "General Opinions". So that was perfectly fine and much appreciated. Then all of a sudden you post your stuff about how my problem is soooo irrelevant and insignificant BUT APPARENTLY OTHERS HAVE BEEN THROUGH THAT SAME THING AS ME. So just b/c you specifically can't relate to it makes it "silly"?? Like, r u serious...??

See? You were hoping for something and, when you didn't get it, you got all pissy about it. This isn't the first thread you've done this in either. You think that I believe sarcasm makes the world go 'round? No, it doesn't. You don't make the world go 'round either. The world doesn't revolve around you, so stop expecting people to make mountains out of your trivial mole hills.

You were hoping that people would come here and hold your hand, walking you through everything while they coddled your precious emotions, but you didn't get that. And, now you're flustered just because you didn't get the sympathy that you were hoping for. Like, OMG, R U 4 REALZ? Grow up.

All I'm saying is just chill with that attitude. Nobody else came on here being sarcastic and annoying (except one guy who apologized, so it's all good ) so why don't you follow suite and realize that it's not that type of party. If you want me to, I can post a "Let's all act sarcastic for absolutely no reason" post and feel free to express your thoughts of sarcasm there.

Once again, swallow your own advice for once. You were the one who brought the attitude into the room. You, yourself, are claiming that it's not that type of party. So, if you don't want it to be that kind of party, then don't bring that shit into the room with you.

And I never asked for your pity. Again, if you read what i initially posted CAREFULLY, you'd see that the point was not to have people feel sorry for me. I hate pity. I don't want ya pity. I dont want people feeling sry for me, so I never asked for that. So if you think I want your pity, you can go ahead and save it for somebody else.

I read each and every word of what you posted. You claim that you don't want pity, but you're getting all pissy at me just because I used a little bit of sarcasm and didn't bother to wrap my loving arms around you. You didn't get what you hoped for (which was clearly sympathy) and now you're being a big baby about it.

P.S. Ur sarcasm just isn't funny. Maybe that's why I'm not vibing with it.

I can "handle" people posting comments. All I'm saying is tha sarcasm is not necessary. You don't need to be sarcastic to get ur point across. Espcially to the extent that it was used. If your entire response is just you being sarcastic, then i'm sry, idk how else to say it, but that's so annoying to me..

You know what else is annoying? People who starts threads on public forums and then cry over what people post in them. I read in one of your posts that you're 20 years old, but you certainly don't act like it.

I mean, idk maybe it's me. I just really did not understand where all that sarcasm was coming from b/c it was jus SO left field. So it almost came across as you mocking me or making fun of me or what. Idk. It just didn't make sense... I mean, i know you said ur just a "funny" (if thats really what you want to call it) type of person and you like cracking what YOU call "jokes". But ... idk ... it was just really ... weird/awkward/annoying. Especially cuz you just kept going with it.

I just kept on going with it? This, coming from the girl who has made like 10 posts about how she doesn't like sarcasm? You keep going on and on about how annoying and unfunny you find it to be, but I'm the one who keeps going with it?

Do yourself a favor; go into the bathroom, stand in front of the sink and have a good long look in the mirror. It's that big shiny thing that you can see yourself in.

For the last time ChefChiTown....nobody wants your effin pity!! I don't know you, and I thus far don't like you, so I don't want a god-damn thing from you. You could drop dead for all I care, and it'll be the least of my concerns.

The whole thing started off b/c somebody made a sarcastic remark, which I politely told them how i felt about it, that it was uncalled for, no more no less, they apologized, it was all good, and that was supposed to be the end of it. Or so I thought...

But here you come up in here telling me how the eff I should take what another individual said -- who the hell do you think are? Don't tell me how I should feel about what somebody else said!

And you talk about how mature I act, when you over here being a straight up CLOWN! Talking about how you just love to joke around all the effing time, like shit is always effing funny. It's not! So why don't YOU grow up and learn to take things more seriously! Only kids make everything into a joke b/c they don't know any better. Guess neither do you.

And btw, if you really wanna be funny, make some actual JOKES not SARCASM (they're not the same thing, genius). B/C your not funny! And apparently it just kills you that you can't make me laugh since that persona is so deeply engraved in you, and you don't know any other way to be, and it means life and death for you to be funny all the time. Well, trust me, I'm laughing ... but not with you.

Bottom line -- don't tell me how the eff to feel about what somebody else says. Don't bring your sorry-ass version of "sarcasm" around my way. Don't reply to anymore of my posts to keep this mess from happening again (<-- and I strongly suggest you listen to that). Respect my right to express myself without you judging me according to your idiotic standards, and then turn around and say that "I was only being funny" to try to soften up the situation. The hell with that.

Remember where you are -- on a weight-loss forum. So you have your own set of issues which is the reason why you're on here in the place, right? So why dont you step down from your invisible high horse.

I never felt I had a "problem" as you seemingly like to put it, but I decided to redo the way I was thinking about eating. THAT'S WHAT YOUR SUPPOSED TO DO WHEN TRYING TO LOSE WEIGHT. And after coming to that conclusion, I decided to share it with weight-loss.fitness.com as a way to vent, and if it turned out, get some feedback from others (<--not that that was the intention, but it was a nice surprise that others felt the same way). Unless you are saying something that is actually contributing to this discussion I started, then I'm still totally confused as to why you even bothered to post a reply here. Yeah, I know its a discussion board and everyone is free to say whatever, but honestly, what was the point of you even coming here? B/c you didn't discuss anything. I got absolutely NOTHING out of any of your little sub-par, idiotic, silly little remarks, but yet, ur still here! Why?? I'm curious now...

 

[ChefChiTown]

You could drop dead for all I care, and it'll be the least of my concerns.

That's the kind of attitude that'll get you places. Your incoming friend requests must be flowing in like a flood. Oh, sorry...I used sarcasm. My bad. AWW, there it is again.

And you talk about how mature I act, when you over here being a straight up CLOWN! Talking about how you just love to joke around all the effing time, like shit is always effing funny. It's not! So why don't YOU grow up and learn to take things more seriously! Only kids make everything into a joke b/c they don't know any better. Guess neither do you.

No, the problem is that you're taking this too seriously. You do realize that you're getting all riled up over somebody using sarcasm, don't you? Everybody uses their sense of humor when they have one, but only children get worked up over something as trivial as the usage of sarcasm.

And btw, if you really wanna be funny, make some actual JOKES not SARCASM (they're not the same thing, genius). B/C your not funny! And apparently it just kills you that you can't make me laugh since that persona is so deeply engraved in you, and you don't know any other way to be, and it means life and death for you to be funny all the time. Well, trust me, I'm laughing ... but not with you.

Yeah, it destroys me that I don't have you in stitches. I'm actually sitting here with a box of Kleenex because I'm so upset by it. Oh, and when you're trying to insult someone's intelligence, it's best to know how to spell first.

"Your not funny" should be "YOU'RE not funny". And, I don't know if you're too lazy to type out entire words or if you just don't know how to spell, but adults don't say "B/C", "ur", "I don't want ya pity" or "idk". My 12 year old cousin might, but that's because she's TWELVE.

Bottom line -- don't tell me how the eff to feel about what somebody else says. Don't bring your sorry-ass version of "sarcasm" around my way. Don't reply to anymore of my posts to keep this mess from happening again (<-- and I strongly suggest you listen to that). Respect my right to express myself without you judging me according to your idiotic standards, and then turn around and say that "I was only being funny" to try to soften up the situation. The hell with that.

I'm not trying to soften anything. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've been pretty straight forward with everything that I have said. Always have been, always will be.

And, for the millionth time, swallow your own advice. You want me to respect your right to express yourself? Try respecting the right for me to express myself first. People in glass houses...

I never felt I had a "problem" as you seemingly like to put it, but I decided to redo the way I was thinking about eating. THAT'S WHAT YOUR SUPPOSED TO DO WHEN TRYING TO LOSE WEIGHT.

I got absolutely NOTHING out of any of your little sub-par, idiotic, silly little remarks, but yet, ur still here! Why?? I'm curious now...

I didn't discuss anything? HAHAHAHAHA, wrong again. You mean to tell me that you got absolutely nothing from any of the following things that I have said...

What diet tells you what time to eat at? They might give you guidelines as to what to eat for breakfast, lunch or dinner, but I've never heard of a diet that says, "At 6:15AM, eat one egg, a piece of toast and have a small glass of orange juice. Then, at 11:30AM, eat a small salad and have a glass of water. For dinner, precisely at 5:48PM EST, eat a skinless chicken breast, a handful of steamed green beans and a glass of milk." I have just honestly never heard of a diet that tells you WHEN to eat like that.

Anyway, eat whenever the fuck you want to. It's your body, you know? Nobody can tell you when you should be eating; only you can do that. So, eat whenever you want. Just make sure that what you're eating is good for you, that's all.

HAHAHA, I think it's funny when people think that planning ahead (when it comes to eating healthy) is some sort of difficult task. I mean, all you have to do is throw an apple or two or a low calorie snack bar into a brown paper bag or your briefcase and you're good to go. It's not like you have to sit down on the weekend and spend a whole entire day making up all sorts of flow charts or anything...you just buy healthy foods when you're at the grocery store and take some of them with you when you go somewhere, so you can snack on them when you're hungry.

HAHAHA, wwwwwhat? What exactly am I doing? Besides displaying a sense of humor, what exactly am I doing? I think you need to relax a little bit and get yourself a sense of humor. No offense, but you seem like you're very tightly wound and I think you need to loosen up a little.

Your original post was basically just a few paragraphs of venting some of your frustration, but now you've managed to create some sort of problem out of nothing. From reading your first post, you clearly realized that trying to eat at specific times throughout the day is just not a reasonable thing to do. But, now it seems as if you have lost all sense of that realization.

I don't understand what the problem is here. Not just with the lack of humor that you display, but with how you eat. This "problem" of yours has already been addressed, so I just don't understand what all of this frustration is about. Just eat when you're hungry. And, if you get hungry when you're at school or at work, just be sure to take a snack with you. It's seriously not a hard thing to do and, even though you're trying to make it one, it's not a problem at all.
I don't know what you're expecting somebody to say, but you'll probably be waiting for a while if you don't take a step back and realize how easily this problem of yours can be solved. I'm a very straight forward person (I don't bullshit people or beat around the bush) - I just tell them how it is. And, this problem of yours is no big deal. Like I said, eat when you're hungry and take some snacks with you when you leave the house. That's it. End of story.

If you truly wanted help with anything, you would've learned something from reading my posts. You're never going to learn or get help if you don't want to listen to people who are trying to help you.

But, I'm going to do you a favor and stop responding to you. Even though you're not going to get any help here (as you have already gotten it and are just choosing to ignore it), I'm going to step away and allow you to enjoy this little temper tantrum of yours.

Ok, folks. Enough.

What's been said is said. Let's either bring this thread back on track or walk away. If there's any other posting that is off topic and contains personal attacks, I will close this thread and give the attackers a 7-day warning ban.

I'm not kidding here. Calling people names and telling them you wish them dead is completely and totally inappropriate. If you have that much issue with someone on a message board, then place them on ignore.

(Oh, and for the record, on a personal note, I find well done sarcasm to be pretty intelligent (and funny). And I find people who can laugh at themselves and at life to be far more mature than people who pitch screaming, profanity-laden, foot stomping tantrums when people disagree with them.)

 

[Jericho]

See? This is what happens when I mention Gremlins. I mentioned them at my sister's wedding. Now she is divorced.

Coincidence? I think NOT!

Ok, back on track. I will say that you have made changes that have been working. It just looks like you need tweeking is all.

 

[Superstar922]

Okay, well now that that clown is finally gone (and anybody who agrees with "that" can leave as well), back to the topic of discussion.

Jericho, what do you think I need tweeked?

 

[KaraCooks]

The user SuperStar922 has been given a 7 day ban to cool off and learn to follow the rules - which include not calling people names and not attacking/insulting people who don't agree with her.
