Is Spooky Turning Into A Whiny Bitch?

Sounds nice too.

Any news on the job front?

You should consider a career in public relations. Excellent spin, sir!

Or was it just as simple as you said?

I enjoy a bit of popularity now and then, but the poll was, in fact, launched on a whim. My expectations for entertainment and perhaps hilarity have been met!

I'm going to have to go with Keith on this one. I don't think you understand the standard meaning of the following terms:

1 - meh
2 - LOL
3 - 'not caring'

Exhibit A - while stating that you do not care about forum opinion, you not only read this thread but display great interest in it by querying my motives and belittling any significance the results might possibly have.

Which reminds me, I have a PM to read...

I don't think that is spin. Poll in simple form had three responses: positive, negative, and static. It's practically algebra.

Now THIS is spin. What I meant was, you were making me popular, making methe story. How many newspaper articles have you read lately that you recall the journalist involved? Like Keith told me in regards to his attack of my art, even negativity will bolster one's ratings/sales.

1-meh
pretty much means my interest is gone, the horse is flogged. i maybe had interest right up until the point of meh, but post meh, i dont care, and will only yap further about it if it looks like the path of least resistance.

2-LOL
it's fucking lol, everyone knows what that means. where people like Keith get seemingly confused is when lulz is used in place of lol.
lulz Noun --- (lul-zz)
Definition:
1. The act of entertaining oneself with the misfortune of others; an
agreeable occupation for the mind

2. Something affording pleasure, diversion, or amusement,
esp. a performance of some kind.

3. The essence which can be derived from an epic win.

3-not caring
In this context, it means exactly what I said, exactly how I said it. I do not care what the internet thinks. The topic or thread may be of interest, perhaps the poster of the thread I may take interest in, but the opinion expressed by the poll is of no consequence to me. I am using the english definition of things, I remain consistent in use. Guys like Michael may have immense trouble with understanding the basic words I use, and ask Bebe, she's pretty sharp, I DO use very basic language in the forums, but I hope he is in the minority.


Anyway, the poll talk is now off topic in this thread, it is now the new SNA thread, feel free to talk about anything else, regardless of how meaningless.

:P

I was checking out some polls in another thread, I think the one about whether or not the Spooky drama would end, and this poll question just popped into my head! It occurred to me that Keith was not the only one who could start a poll. So I did.

In the spirit of SNA...

Elementary, Abstract, Linear, or Universal algebra?

I am really not sure math belongs in this thread. In fact, thinking about it, I am CERTAIN it doesn't.

I'm eating a cheese toastie made for me by my lovely BF, and drinking Coke Zero nomnom

No, that was not spin, that was a misunderstanding. Why would I think that you were referring to me (a minor forum player) making YOU (a regular guest on and subject of the KATG show) popular? I have no such ability to do that sir. Please.

I have always been amused at the childish internet tactic of flooding a thread with babble in an attempt to dissuade further serious discussion of the original topic. It is the electronic equivalent of putting your fingers in your ears, closing your eyes, and saying "Nah nah na nah nahhhhh, I can't heeear yooooouuuuuu"

It is also further proof that in spite of your protests, you care very deeply about your perception. And hey, that's fine! I just wish you'd admit it.../shrug /meh /lol

Fuck me then. And fuck Spooky for bringing it up in the first place.
