Do you hold a grudge against someone on Fluther?

Of course not, but there’s people who I may not take as seriously. There’s no malice involved.

I don’t hold a grudge against anyone. I have decided, however, that there are certain people that I’m not particularly fond of.

Like @ANef_is_Enuf, no grudges held. Life is way too short to hold a grudge about things that happen on the internet and the things that bug me might not actually have involved me. I may have watched on and found the behaviour unfortunate. Consequently, there are people I choose not to interact with to any great degree.

Nope, even though there are some I feel only come to any thread I start not to answer the question but to heckle me or try to discredit me, I don’t hold any grudges. It is even kind of humorous they should give me that much attention when they could be doing better things. There have been some, who I feel flat out insulted, or belittle me, but I will still give them their props if I felt they made one at another time. I might get testy for a nanosecond that they had the audacity to go there, but then, like water off the back of a duck, I move on.

I have found a few “rabid” people on fluther. I wish there was a way to silence them, or something. I’m pretty much over being mad at them, but they are definitely unbalanced, and they are nothing but trouble. I avoid them like the plague.

Yes. Each and every one of you owes me an apology, and I’m going to hold my breath until I get what’s due me.

LOL, OK, let me be the first to apologize. I’m sorry. Now what did I do?

Sorry, I should stay silent, because I may be rabid.

Lol@rabid… he is a rat!! How much damage can we squirrels do to him.

Sorry Ratty… really I am :D

Ohhh and @Snowberry definitely owes him an apology… she mentioned the “plague!!!”

Nah, but the few who are quite clearly anally retentive, I treat in kind….... I don’t give a shit!

I keep a list. It happens pretty often where there is a computer question I know the answer to but I don’t respond due to the fact the person asking is racist, or homophobic.

No. But there are a couple I find annoying. Only a couple.

@Bellatrix I don’t like shapeshifters. I have yet to make a decision about @Blackberry and @ratboy
By the way, did you know that various rodents in the USA carry bubonic plague? Be careful and stay away. You don’t want to be infected. http://www.nature.nps.gov/biology/wildlifehealth/Documents/Disease%20Table-Plague.pdf

Page Not Found @Snowberry.

Shapeshifting… you just hate Squirrels. I only eat nuts. Not into berries.

Sorry, let’s try that again
http://www.nature.nps.gov/biology/wildlifehealth/Documents/Disease%20Table-Plague.pdf

I’m berry good…

@Blackberry – apparently we squirrels can also carry the bubonic plague. The link still didn’t work for me @snowberry but I found it. Very interesting.

There are two or three that I just won’t even read anything they’ve posted. That way, they can’t annoy me.

@johnpowell that’s actually pretty cute. “I withhold my genius from you, heathen!!!”

Nope. Holding grudges is bad for your health. But there are a few that either annoy me or are just completely obnoxious. No biggie.

Well I could care less what they think of me but I try to avoid some people. If I see they ask a question that pops out in QFY I avoid it from principle. If they answer before me in a question i avoid answering, again from principle.

I am neither racist nor homophobic but I can’t get my computer questions answered! But I keep sending other people along anyhow cuz the info is always reliable.

Nah, I don’t bother with grudges, some folks questions and answers are so predictable it becomes tiresome, so I simply avoid!

Some bug me, but grudge? Nah…. I just don’t read their stuff if I can avoid it. I like Fluther to be fun and interesting, not fraught with blood pressure issues.

No grudges, why waste the enrergy. I see certain names and I just move on.

I should add that I try to recreate computer problems and post screenshots of how to fix them. Usually I spend upwards of 30 minutes working on them. I’m not spending that amount of time helping someone that thinks African-americans should be on the back of the bus or homosexuals should be discriminated against.

Fuck them. They can pay my gay-friendly ass 50 bucks a hour to fix their shit.

@johnpowell Did I mention that I love you?

As for everyone else, it really takes a lot to get under my skin. I try to be sensitive in my responses (sorry if I am not always successful). There are some whose responses seem vapid or so consistently off-topic (nothing directed at me, personally), but I tend just to skip over what they say (certainly not a grudge, but inane only entertains me for a very short time).

There were a couple who would torment me at many of my posts. I wouldn’t carry a grudge, and moved from question to question with a fresh outlook, or I would try to, anyway.
One of those jellies, now a former jelly, is the frequent butt (how appropriate) of my jokes on Fluther, but I mean him no ill will. I just know he rubbed a lot of people the wrong way.

Well, this is just great. Now I know that I can never leave, as it would give too many of you too much satisfaction.

There is one guy jelly who I can’t stand. He’s a little, little, man. I won’t name names.

There is one long time jellie that is usually very nice and is quite revered, but was real rude to me once. I think I have forgiven (gender neutral to protect from guessers) but I am still somewhat cautious. I have seen this same jellie do this to others on occasion and I am still shocked when it happens.

It’s the period between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. If I have offended anyone, I apologize.

(MIlo here; Not me. I am always right. Why is that so hard to understand?)

I too skip questions that make no sense to me or ask for advice while really wanting only confirmation or affirmation. Why would I waste energy on holding a grudge?

I find that there are many opportunities for me to hone my debating skills and to provide supporting evidence for my position. That is an intellectual challenge that holds me in good stead outside of the ether world.

I try not to judge a person if I don’t know them personally. I always maintain these are just words/thoughts on Fluther and people can hide behind them; who knows, maybe acting out their alter ego’s. I will not stay away from any questions or threads if I have input.

Aw – what fun is it if we can’t name names? I want the dish!

When I’m in my right mind I don’t. There have been a few times over the past few months that I have felt particularly vulnerable and aggressive and have reacted in strange ways to things that people have said. I try to apologize when this happens.

Other than that sod, I love most everyone.

Wow, I’m betting the PMs naming names are flying thick and fast. If anyone wants to send me some dirt, I love me a good gossip! ;-)

Maybe it’s just my overall crappy memory, but I honestly can’t remember ever feeling wronged on Fluther. I don’t shy away from controversial threads, and I do interact with many of the pricklier jellies, but I try to show respect and not get personal. People tend to respond in kind.

hee hee. JP’s gay-friendly ass

There’s a few that, when I see they have contributed to a certian subject, make me think “here we go” with a slight eyeroll but I wouldn’t say I dislike those people and I certainly don’t have a grudge against them. I have only really had one arguement with a fellow jelly but we agreed to disagree in the end and can now have a conversation without any bitterness.

I adore (adore, adore) a couple.

I can count them on one tiny flipper. Ahem.

blushes and hides head under flipper.

If I have offended anyone here, I am sorry that I haven’t offended you enough to leave this site~
I don’t hold grudges against anyone. Yeah I mean there’s some people I wouldn’t mind shitting in their boots, and there’s some people who are as annoying as trying to wipe your ass clean after a fried chicken meal, but that’s only a small minority. Meh, live and let live.

There are a few who’s questions I will not answer – or even read.

Oh @Jellie Please forgive me. I’m sorry I called you a ‘weiner’ that day. It was a typo. I meant to call you a ‘winner’!
Darned spell checker!

I hope it was Hebrew National at least.

Nirvana, and to a lesser extent Pearl Jam.

I wouldn’t call them grudges at all.
There are a few I steer clear of. It’s not due to a grudge, it’s due to a personality conflict, or because they flame, or….

Unfortunately, I’m not as bright as JP. I haven’t kept a list.

I wonder if anyone here has a list of all the people that used to be a different user name. That’s where I usually get bit. I know a few, but just recently figured out a couple more by doing searches.

@Jude ;)

It’s getting tense up in here :P

@worriedguy we have no bad blood… yet ;-)

Please. No.

@Simone_De_Beauvoir Please, no, what?

@Jude No, I do not hold grudges, what’s the point? So please, it’s not that serious…this fluther thing to actually hold grudges against users. @Blackberry That’s not what you said last night

Not really, I mean I dislike people but if they give a great answer I lurve them up.

I’m sorry to any and all I have not been a gentleman too here on fluther.
“A gentleman is one who never hurts anyone’s feelings unintentionally.” :D

@Simone_De_Beauvoir :D

[Mod Says:] Yeah- I know a few of you are joking around and some might not be. But please do not even hint to the identity fellow jelly in a negative light. I like to think we are all above vendettas or grudges, but if anyone has any please keep it to yourself… or get some therapy.. or go break some dishes… or just ignore the person who makes you twitch.

;)

Okay. I will refrain from breaking my jelly mug, though.

@Jude Oh you have a Jelly Mug? Pix? Seriously though, I buy mismatched dishes at the Salvation Army just to smash when I need to vent. It works remarkably well.

@Dog My imaginary jelly mug. See? I’m crazy.

@Dog : I have done that as well. It is remarkably satisfying!!!

@Jude An imaginary mug will not make a very satisfactory smashing sound- though it would be easier to clean up. ;)

@Dog I love the way you mod us. Just sayin’. Now roll over and let me scratch your tummy.

It’s okay, @Dog. I know they’re all talking about me, but it ain’ no thang.

And here I was frantically trying to look up the ultimate Fudge recipe, and then I cleaned my glasses and realized that you are all talking about Grudges not Fudges.

My motto is “If you can’t kill them with kindness, then just bore them to death.”

I don’t particularly hold a grudge against anyone, but yes, there are some that I don’t really like all that much.

I’m going to make fudge this weekend.

i feel a fudge recipe will be posted very soon ;)

Post the recipe! Post the recipe!

@JLeslie With nuts? Or no nuts? I’ve been toying with the idea of making some fudge with a bit of chile powder in it. Had some fancy chocolates like that and also tasted some gelato with chile in it.

As far as grudges are concerned. Not so much. A very small number of people are very mean, a few others are just irritating and some folks simply have a completely different world view and understanding of how things are compared to me, and those kinds of conversations are simply difficult and there are a few who simply don’t want to hear the truth (even though they’ve asked for it repeatedly) With those folks, I might observe, but not engage. No one on Fluther is forced to interact with anybody else if they don’t want to.

No one on Fluther has the “whole truth” about anything, so if you find some Jellies who clearly don’t see eye to eye with you, it’s best to just avoid them, but not let the disagreements tear you up inside. Do the opposite of what Captain Picard always said. Disengage!

Modded. Oh, well, some jellies saw and know who I’m talking about.

@Kardamom : Did you know that before the revolution the French used to put ground chili into their very strong hot chocolate? Just a factoid for you.

@JilltheTooth I put some in mine once & a while…it brings out the chocolate flavor

It always boils down to food~ :D

@SpatzieLover Well if you insist.

In honor of Halloween coming up, here is one for Pumpkin Fudge

And as per my above thought, here is one for Red Chile Fudge

And for you tradionalists, here’s one for Old Fashioned Chocolate Fudge with Walnuts

I hope nobody begrudges me my fudges : )

@JilltheTooth I did not know that about the chile in the hot chocolate. Sounds yummy!

^confused by the pumpkin fudge

I know, right? I kinda wanted a recipe… @Kardamom! Come back and relink!

@JilltheTooth & @syz Yeah the pumpkin fudge is the one I most want to make! @Kardamom your link is phooey

Grudge? No. But I do remember who are complete dumbasses that can’t string thoughts together or don’t know that having a different point of view isn’t a personal attack. And I remember all the proto-fascists and authoritarians.

Mmmm, pumpkin fudge.

Yeah, if she doesn’t come back with the real thing we’ll have to hold a grudge against @Kardamom ! ;-p

Oooops, the tofu link was from another question. Forgot to push Ctrl C and Ctrl V for the fudge.

So here it is for reals this time (I hope) Pumpkin Fudge

Hmmm. I’m dubious about the white chocolate.

I’m soooooo making that. My son & my husband lurve white chocolate!

@Kardamom I want to put walnuts, but I am sure my husband would prefer pecans.

<drooling>

@JilltheTooth she’s fixin’ to post s’more ;)

@JLeslie Do you think your hubby would like Maple Pecan Fudge?

For @syz here’s one that might not sound so freaky-deaky for you Dark Chocolate Fudge with Pistachios

And for those of you looking foward to Christmas, here’s one for Cranberry Chocolate Fudge with Pecans

And another one that I thought sounded divine was Chocolate Mint Fudge

@Jellie I apologize for hijacking your thread.

@Kardamom Yes. I love maple also. I make my chocolate fudge with the marshmellow recipe. I think maybe it is easier than other chocolate fudge recipes,

There is one person on my ignore list, the rest no longer participate in Fluther.

I have a grudge against fudge.

@Kardamom I know I would like maple pecan fudge!!! Thanks for sharing! :)

I’d like to say that holding grudges on the Internet is silly and that I don’t do it.
But the truth is that I totally did hold a grudge against one person.

It wasn’t anything directed at me personally. I just found it impossible to give him any kind of respect (in any other thread I encountered him on) after hearing how he believed that people chose to get AIDS.

I mean, come on.

@Blackberry tell me what you like and I’ll try to find you a good fudge recipe that suits your fancy : )

@Kardamom : How about a chocolate blackberry fudge? It would work on so many levels!

There’s people on Fluther I’d like to hold something against. (wriggles Groucho Marx eyebrows.)

@JilltheTooth I know you must have been reading my mind. Here is one called Saskatoon Berry Fudge I don’t know what Saskatoon berries are, but the author says that you can use other berries, including Blackberries! And it sounds marvelous. Who knew?

Thanks @Blackberry for the inspiration. Will you try it?

Yeah I’ll definitely try it. I’m not a fan of fudge, because I feel like I’m eating playdoughy sugar.

I don’t hold a grudge against anyone, but there are some (now gone) members who treated me very badly on their way out. I’m not angry with them, but I certainly don’t accept their friend requests on Facebook. And yes, they do try to friend me!

Far out. Just got up and now I want fudge!

@augustlan You know that has always amazed me….

@augustlan Stupidity runs rampant.

@augustlan Oh they were just cussing out and bad mouthing the Mod Auggie, once on neutral territory of FB you were OK and human again. Sorry for the sarcasm a little dry dish seemed appropriate ;-)

@augustlan That hurts my heart to hear that people would be mean to you and that they would then later try to friend you on FB. That just doesn’t make any sense.

You have always been so kind and so helpful and fair to everyone. You always explain exactly why certain actions are taken, and you always remind people of the Fluther Guidelines. I just can’t fathom why someone would take issue with you.

And for @Blackberry I shall try to present you with a fudgey recipe that is not actually fudge because I’m guessing that you, like most people, like chocolatey stuff. How about this Chocolate Fig Hazelnut Fudge Cake with Brandy and Candied Organges or maybe this Hot Fudge Cake with Spirited Berries

In case the 103 responses above are all about me, I humbly apologize for every mean or unreasonable thing I’ve said here. :)

The person I disliked the most quit Fluther well over a year ago. I believe he had cancer, so he may have actually passed away. Hopefully that’s not the case. Maybe he just realized his cruel nature didn’t fit in here and decided to leave. If that’s what happened, I’m grateful he scrounged up some class and did the right thing.

@Kardamom Oh.Em.Gee. Spirited berries!

@Blackberry I knew you would likey : ) I bookmarked that one for myself too.

Nobody ever did anything to me on here that would warrant me having a grudge on them, whether it’s someone I like or not. At least, if I felt that at one point towards someone, it went away pretty quickly.

Nah.

no grudges….PSHT!

haha! @blueiiznh….

@EnchantingEla i love the new word. Ty for helping to ingrained PSHT into my psyche.
I wonder what my boss will say when i use it

No grudges, life’s too short and it is the internet after all : )

@blueiiznh probably “huh?” lol

@EnchantingEla psht!, he won’t get it!

@blueiiznh ah, psht him if he can’t take a joke ; )
i psht in his general direction

oh psht boy!

@blueiiznh LOL he may know that one… psht it’s worth a try ; )

I had a grudge against someone, but I forgot who it was. It was when I was a newbie. Someone was really condescending and haughty in some thread. I was really ticked and I sometimes still think about it. But I have no idea who it was and I’m too lazy to go research it. It could be some friend of mine, for all I know.

@keobooks Love your answer.

I’m away for half a day and this thread is fudged up!

On the flip side, there are some people here that I wasn’t too impressed with in the begining and now they’re some of my favourite people on here. Life’s funny like that.

@Jellie you brought us fudge?!?!

Sureeeeeeeee :D

Thanks! [i edited out the lick ;)] nummm….

More fudge… yum. Does it have nuts in it? I like nuts.

Lol. I’m so immature.

But cute @Blackberry. Especially with your SuperSquirrel thing.

@Kardamom Aw, you’re sweet. I swear though, I have never been called such vile names until I took this job. There’s one banned member who still emails me six months after he was banned to tell me what a bitch I am. It’s crazy!

I never hold grudges, either on Fluther or in my everyday life. I’m a happy-go-lucky kind of dude, with a sense of humor.

Since Fluther is really me with about 40,000 different accounts, I personally don’t hold any grudges against any of the others, but somehow some of my other less stable accounts have indulged in some rather hostile grudge fudge.

The problem with that is, grudge+fudge=this. ;-)

@Brian1946 Lol-lol. Looks like the stuff that spills out of a blueberry Pop-Tart.

@MRSHINYSHOES

Oh fudge! I wasn’t going for an industrially-processed breakfast “food” effect, I was going for sludge.

Looked pretty grudgy to me @Brian1946.

@Bellatrix

Thanks! Ah, sweet vindication. ;-p

@Brian1946 Well, sludge is very unlike the stuff in Pop-Tarts. Um, sometimes that is. LOL.

I hold grudges against each and every jelly who ever promised me cookies, yet never delivered. Damn you all. May Mrs. Fields haunt your dreams.

Frudge

I hold a grudge against @Blackberry because his nuts are bigger than mine.

Really though, I can’t think of any “grudges”, but I do remember one particular comment from one particular jelly, and it still pisses me off when I think about it.

@WillWorkForChocolate LMAO. Having a slow day and needed the laugh. Just how big are your nuts?

@Adirondackwannabe They’re fairly small. And salted. Occasionally honey roasted.

@WillWorkForChocolate honey roasted nuts trump every nut!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@WillWorkForChocolate I laughed out loud.

@Blackberry Hope you didn’t drop your nuts!

@WillWorkForChocolate Nope, they dropped long ago.

Yes, and without saying his name—~coughDr. Jcough~, it is becuase he’s always staring at me!

@erichw1504 – Who is Dr. J?

@Jellie The Jelly dude at the top left of your screen here in Flutherland

@erichw1504 Shhhhh! He is your father

@SpatzieLover ohhhhhhh thanks.

@SpatzieLover GAAAHHHH!

Who wants to help me get to 30K? Help a Jude out.

@Jude Sorry, I’m all outta lurve for you.

@Jude Tapped out as well. I couldn’t even GQ you.

@augustlan I hope that for every sh*tty e-mail message you receive, you also get a tasty box of fudge : )

Is it possible to block those poop heads from e-mailing you?

This is for you : )

@Kardamom Very nice.

@Jude I will give you a tip. You need to be like a heat seeking missile when noobs hit the Community Feed. Welcome them and answer their questions ;)

She’s that eager to get away from us…

Speaking of grudges, have you ever heard of a grudge pregnancy? That’s when your wife gets pregnant and you’re not the father. Someone had it in for you.

@Jude – Will you be staying for your party?

Cookies for cprevite!

@Nimis OMG, I am soooo hungry now….

@Nimis: Grudge removed.

:: nom nom ::

Belly full.

As @JilltheTooth likes to point out, any thread that goes on long enough ends up being about food.

Tantalus’s law: any thread that goes on long enough, (and that does not mention Hitler or Nazis) will inevitability end up on the topic of food.

I just made that up.

S’okay, though. It’ll come back to religion and politics in no time at all.

Geez, why these theists gotta be all sensitive an’ shyt…...

The sensitive ones make for good eatin’.

@Blackberry It’s because we want your nuts and you won’t share. Sheesh, some people are so stingy!

@WillWorkForChocolate

I’ll give you my nuts, I’m kind of full.

@Blackberry Oh, that would be great! But… if they’ve been on the floor at all, I’d prefer you to dust them off first.

I put his nuts in my fudge.

@Kardamom I put his nuts in my fudge.

That’s always some funny ass shit to read when you wake up lol. :D

“I put his nuts in my fudge.”
Is that what you kids are calling it nowadays?

This is gettin’ weird…...

Ah’z be holdin a fudge against thee!

I completely forgot what this question was about.

Food. They’re always about food. This is a good thing.

@Jellie Pay no attention to the cute puppy above me. This thread was all about @Blackberry‘s nuts.

And yet, @WillWorkForChocolate , your very name belies that statement.

Quiet, or I shall be forced to feed you @Blackberry‘s nuts on a platter.

O.o

…dude.

Are we sure Blackberry still has his nuts? He’s divorced. The woman usually get’s everything in divorce court.

My response to the last six posts “Oh… oh… snap.” jajaja

Why does snap still exist, but not orly owls?

Er…

@Adirondackwannabe I was only married for a year and a half. But apparently it was easier for the ladies of Fluther to get them.

What are the orly owls? I’ve never heard of them.
~

O rly?

Not rly.

Oh, snap.

@Blackberry‘s nuts are going round? Nice…

@Blackberry You know that we save up nuts for the winter LOL. Of course we got them. But luckily for you , sir, we put them into our fudge recipes, so that we could serve them to everybody.

Thanks, by the way : )

I don’t hold grudges here. There are a couple of jellies that I,m not particularly fond of, but I just skip over them.

Did I miss out on all the fudge?

No one told me about the fudge. I feel shortchanged.

Don’t be grudgin on the fudgin @Adirondackwannabe : (
Rumage around… I’m sure there’s more! ; )

Now here’s a fudge that some of you might like at the end of a hard day, Rum and Coconut Fudge or as they’re calling it on this blog Captain Morgan Fudge : )

It appears that this particular fudge is nut-less, so we can give @Blackberry his nuts back.

I know, let’s have Blackberry fudge! http://oldtymefudgerecipes.com/blackberryfudge.php

I love how a question about grudges turned into a recipe exchange!
THIS is why Fluther RULES!

@blueiiznh With that type of good attitude, I’m sure to hold a grudge against you.
:D

@blueiiznh Lol. Can’t argue with that. :D

Okay lets not derail the topic guys. Where’s my nuts?

@Jellie, that train derailed a long time ago. We should all hop on that “Mid-Nut Train to Georgia”

@Kardamom I almost fell of my chair. LMAO!!!

Should I answer the question since I have nothing to add about fudge? Oh, fudge it!

No grudges, but there’s one jelly that I avoid as much as I can because talking to him/her feels like an atheist trying to talk to a fundamentalist about religion—it just doesn’t happen. It’s not a grudge, just an acceptance that we will never have a real conversation. I have temporarily disliked a couple of jellies here and there for a time, but totally forgot who or why.
