Some people should not be on the internet

[sparkfrost]

Look- people are NOT nice on the internet! This is obviously not everyone ever, but if you are a member of a ranting community and you post a bitchy rant you should maybe expect people to be not so nice in return, ok?

Basically- a member posted a rant about customers that several of thought was not as sucky as the OP though. But as soon as we expressed this point of view (politely!) the OP started jumping down our throats. After a bit of back and forth I got tired of arguing and stopped responding. I didn't think much more of it until today, when the new mod decided to bitch me out for daring to disagree. Her comment, and I quote:

buggrit_1979: This community is called customerssuck. And you know something? Many people DO think customers that hang out after close are dicks. I know I do. It's a topic that has been discussed many times in this community, and I'm not getting why this particular post became a target for deep dickery, but drop it.

I said: I thought we were also supposed to be professionals who do our jobs. I can see why everanddespair was annoyed, I just didn't see the suck.

And speaking of dropping it, I last commented two days ago. You're the one who picked it back up.

She comes back with: I didn't see anyplace in the post where she didn't do her job. Being professional does not mean NOT complaining later, out of the customer's hearing, about something that upsets one.

And I only found all this shit out today, or I'd surely have said something sooner.

So, let me get this straight- your community rules say that people are allowed to disagree as long as they do it politely, but as soon as I do that I get bitched at? Throughout the initial exchange everanddespair was ridiculously aggressive with me, yet she gets defended and I get bitched at? Whatever.

The icing on the cake is the mod post that buggrit_1979 made this afternoon, basically telling everyone who had disagreed on that post to STFU, GTFO and DIAF. That's some great Mod work there, Lou.

Well, about 15 people, including me, have already left the community and more are doing so as I refresh and check. Bug has since edited the post to a more 'snuggletimez' response, but people seem to be onto her bullshit.

Basically, neener neener, enjoy your sucky poorly run community!

Edit: I turned off comment notification ages ago, I have no idea what's going on in the comments and I don't plan to look because I enjoy my sanity a leetle too much for that.

So if you're in there someplace slamming me, I'm sorry your efforts are being wasted.

Wow, sand on one's modly vagina much? That's ... awesome, and I am the queen of non-confrontation when I say this. I bow in the presence of buggritwhateverthefuck's superior avoidance skillz. They are 1337er than mine.

Yeah, pretty much. She wants to be a big badass mod but forgot to put on the big girl pants and got butthurt when people *GASP* stood up to her.

I used to call myself the asshole mod, back when I modded anything that required me to be an asshole. In reading that post, I realised that I would never, ever call myself that any more, solely and completely because people use that as an excuse to be a total douche but never have any interest in listening to other pov's.

I kind of want to frame that post for its sheer, non-awesome dickishness.

It is pretty amazing. And the wank just keeps growing! I love how Bugsy is calling me and my friends trolls but she and her minions are treating everyone who disagrees like shit.

Also, after seeing your icon I want one of Kurt Russel in Tombstone, with that same caption. Maybe in all caps however. He really does deliver that line, you know?

I left that comm ages ago due to the shoddy modding. i'm sorry, you don't state rules just to say, "Oh, they only apply to our favorites, get the fuck out."

[sparkfrost.livejournal.com]

Yeah, pretty much. I disagreed with the OP but I was polite about it. Having both her and the mod jump down my throat was complete bullshit.

oh, the internetz. srs bsns, you know. wanna borrow my rusty spork of doom?

[sparkfrost.livejournal.com]

The internets are totes srs bsns, didn't you know? Whatevs, now I'm just watching the wank increase. Its pretty awesome.

I stopped going to CS a while back. Technically, I was banned, but after reading some of the crap that goes on there, it's a far, far cry from what it was and I wasn't interested in being there. It's more of a "See how we can stand here and take a customers crap for hours? See how cool we are?"

Sorry, that's not the way I go. If a customer treats me like crap, s/he gets it back. But then, I do live in an employee's market.

It was just such bullshit- people are fucking ridiculous and I'm well rid of that comm.

Also, yeah, I've totally owned customers when they've deserved it. Tried not to make a habit out of it, but sometimes it has to happen.

Seriously, buggrit totally latched onto everanddespair, who is terribly controversial in a bunch of her posts.

But, honestly, I love the whole "I only saw it now, but I'm going to start the problem again and pretend it was days ago, so drop this already dead topic."

Buggrit is the mod they go to when they want shit started. And everanddespair, at least, didn't do that. That other bitch fellboheme or some shit was the one who did.

On the plus side, I told Everanddespair that I lost all respect for her, and I think she figured out who I was (I was using an old journal) and restored all the comments that they deleted.

[sparkfrost.livejournal.com]

Did they delete the original post? Or is it friends only for the community now?

Buggrit is a total bitch who can't handle the shit she starts. Her whining in her LJ was so over the top ridiculous. I want to call the waaambulance for her.

ETA: forgot to add "shit" into that sentence.

[silverdragon729.livejournal.com]

I gather they deleted or screened the original comments or something, but everanddespair restored them when I goaded her.

I seriously think it's just the greatest thing, because no one is going to take her seriously anymore.
