oblate spheroid not a star any more

[Charles Henrickson]

See my post elsewhere, where I have just now DUFUed Nadin's manifesto.

There's MORE.

67. You're still providing free content to DU.

If you're really serious about how you feel, you would refuse to post here until DU puts you on the payroll. Otherwise, you're simply feeding the "bully" machine, to use your term.

72. They should consider paying her.

The entertainment value is priceless.

nadinbrzezinski (111,633 posts)   Tue Nov 13, 2012, 07:31 PM

73. No, not really

I am following with a promise to the owners, that is all.

The bullies want me out of here.

70. Nadin, I never thought your situation pathetic until now.

74. This popcorn smiley is way overdue.

nadinbrzezinski (111,633 posts)   Tue Nov 13, 2012, 07:45 PM

76. Can I share?

I am quite amused actually by the reaction.

UnrepentantLiberal (7,777 posts)   Tue Nov 13, 2012, 08:08 PM

82. You're quite amused by which reaction?

The people bullying you?
The people defending you?
Both?

At this point most would say both.

pintobean (7,283 posts)   Tue Nov 13, 2012, 08:17 PM

86. Is she really being bullied?

I know she thinks she is, but this is basically yet another FU DU thread.

UnrepentantLiberal (7,777 posts)   Tue Nov 13, 2012, 09:06 PM

98. No she doesn't

Now she's throwing trash cans at DU for attention.

pintobean (7,283 posts)   Tue Nov 13, 2012, 09:13 PM

99. Lol. It's a pattern.

Been happening since I got here in '04, and it was nothing new then.

UnrepentantLiberal (7,777 posts)   Tue Nov 13, 2012, 09:45 PM

100. Since 04?

What's next? Put on an adult diaper and drive to Delaware to attack the DU servers with a baseball bat?

81. From the looks of things, you ought to pull this stunt weekly...you are a great 'fundraiser'.

nadinbrzezinski (111,633 posts)   Tue Nov 13, 2012, 08:11 PM

83. Alas I only have one star

Purveyor (9,755 posts)   Tue Nov 13, 2012, 08:50 PM

95. Oh but you've done good work it seems. To bad the option doesn't exist to comp you one as I'm sure you would have one by now...just for 'shits and giggles'.

nadinbrzezinski (111,633 posts)   Tue Nov 13, 2012, 08:53 PM

97. I am thankful the option no longer exists

And lord knows I bought many for others.

Purveyor (9,755 posts)   Tue Nov 13, 2012, 09:47 PM

101. why are you even here, seriously.

nadinbrzezinski (111,633 posts)   Tue Nov 13, 2012, 09:51 PM

103. Goodbye

Enjoy the iggy list.

For the record, I would alert in a different world, but it is useless, so off to ignore you go.

Purveyor (9,755 posts)   Tue Nov 13, 2012, 10:46 PM

117. I'm honored...

GoneOffShore (10,262 posts)   Tue Nov 13, 2012, 10:09 PM

109. People ask that question all the time. [refers to question about why the oblate spheroid hangs around Skins's island]

UnrepentantLiberal (7,777 posts)   Tue Nov 13, 2012, 11:06 PM

125. What is wrong with you?

Iggy list. Iggy list for you, bully!

one_voice (8,756 posts)   Tue Nov 13, 2012, 10:00 PM

106. It's a shame the option no longer...

available it was nice for to be able to give a star to someone(s) that otherwise wouldn't be able to have one.

I do hope admin reconsiders this option and allows it again. I enjoyed being able to that little bit for someone, it was one of my ways of paying forward kindnesses that have been shown to me.

102. Thanks for the reminder

I just renewed. I can't imagine not being in good standing.

nadinbrzezinski (111,633 posts)   Tue Nov 13, 2012, 09:54 PM

104. What does adding to the balance sheet

Have to do with good standing?

Just curious, and you welcome.

I just don't feel like paying for the privilege of being harassed and stalked and verbally assaulted.

Renew Deal (55,237 posts)   Tue Nov 13, 2012, 10:28 PM

112. I can understand that

If you're not happy here, then you have to do what you must. I'm not going to be the one telling you that stuff doesn't happen. I saw someone marginalizing LGBT issues last week. And it wasn't new people doing it either.

nadinbrzezinski (111,633 posts)   Tue Nov 13, 2012, 10:38 PM

115. I promised Skinner I would no longer pay

For the privilege. So just following through.

I know it is symbolic, but read this thread. You will find plenty offensive posts including one that reads **** you. . Now the alert system is a joke as well, so that person is now in the ignore list. I no longer alert, nor participate in the jury system either.

But serious, read this...the who's who of the people who have been a problem for over ten years now, some of whom ended in mutual ignores in DU 2 are here.

Why I am following through with a promise.

A high posting member sans star should be a wtf moment.

zappaman (6,090 posts)   Tue Nov 13, 2012, 10:51 PM

120. "A high posting member sans star should be a wtf moment."

Nope.

But, then again, only someone extremely egotistical would think that their announcement that they will not buy a star on a website is somehow a "wtf moment".

zappaman (6,090 posts)   Tue Nov 13, 2012, 09:56 PM

105. Thank you for the reminder.

My star was up tomorrow and now I too am a member in good standing!

See, you actually contributed something!

GoneOffShore (10,262 posts)   Tue Nov 13, 2012, 10:03 PM

107. Well, aren't you special! [directed to the oblate spheroid]

We never knew tell how awesome you were, until you told us.

And thanks for the reminder to renew.

You do have some uses.

nadinbrzezinski (111,633 posts)   Tue Nov 13, 2012, 10:09 PM

108. You welcome

I think it's time for you to go to the iggy list though.

Buy, bye.

110. Oh frabjous day, caloo, calay!

111. You know, by the time you're finished, you'll have everyone but your fans on ignore

And everyone else will have you on ignore.

An ideal world no doubt.

Purveyor (9,755 posts)   Tue Nov 13, 2012, 10:50 PM

119. Oh jeez...I forgot to do that, been so long since I've done that to anybody...I've got figure out how...

zappaman (6,090 posts)   Tue Nov 13, 2012, 10:52 PM

121. Is this REC button broken?

Lots of replies and no "recs"....odd.

Purveyor (9,755 posts)   Tue Nov 13, 2012, 10:55 PM

122. Just worked for me...#1.

pintobean (7,283 posts)   Tue Nov 13, 2012, 10:59 PM

123. Yeah, let's send it to the greatest page

argiel1234 (311 posts)   Tue Nov 13, 2012, 11:52 PM

128. This seems like a disgruntled sort of goodbye cruel world post

No offense, but this seems almost like a call out of administrators of this site.

If you are not happy here why not just move on?

nadinbrzezinski (111,633 posts)   Tue Nov 13, 2012, 11:58 PM

129. No, it is a promise fulfilled

To Skinner no less.

argiel1234 (311 posts)   Wed Nov 14, 2012, 12:04 AM

130. whatever makes you happy

im not familiar with your posts and rarely post in meta, but i hope by not getting a star it somehow satisfies you in some way

I dont really even see the point either way

nadinbrzezinski (111,633 posts)   Wed Nov 14, 2012, 12:07 AM

131. Oh this is a ten year old adventure

And I rarely post here either.

Then they came for the... iggy

126. Come on baby!

I know it meant well, but that was awful.

I know it meant well, but that was awful.

Oh, to the contrary, I thought it was rather good.

It's rare that a primitive gets creatively artistic.

But all he did was replace one word with another.  He didn't change anything else about the song.
