Hello there, Chaz.
“It’s not our place to tell her she’s too focused on sucking cock”
It sure is when she is having a hard time doing it, due to a stuffed nose. It is not like she asks, why the statues in the park do not appreciate a good blow job?
So you’re saying you’ve never attempted to do something you enjoy because of illness or some other temporary physical ailment? She is not even asking if we think she is doing it too much, she is asking specifics about improving her ability to breathe through her nose. Why she wants to improve that ability is irrelevant. Are you honestly saying you think she is in danger of asphyxiation? You may be making it your business, but that is your choice, certainly not one she requested or even needs, and probably doesn’t want.
“yet people like Daloon never hear a harsh word from anyone”
Not true, I have been straight up on more then one occasion with Daloon.
Define “straight up”. I’ve never seen him take near as much flak as Dibley has in the short time she’s been on this board. Admittedly I haven’t read all of his threads, but I’ve read enough. (and as an aside, I want to apologize to Daloon for dragging him into this. I simply chose him based on the fact that his questions often fall consistently within a particular set of parameters, and he is a frequent poster).
“and since it does not affect any of us at all,”
It sure does, when the question is asked.
The point you’re trying to make here seems to be the same as the one you tried to make in the first part of my post you took issue with. I can only say “see my answer above”
“it is my opinion that we all need to lay the fuck off her.”
Get a life. She knows we love her.
Huh? In my universe love goes hand in hand with respect, something she seems to get very little of. I may be incorporating private PM’s I’ve received in my overall perception of the situation, but I honestly don’t think so.
And, what a disservice giving the answers you want to hear.
I don’t know what you are specifically alluding to. Call me a dumbass, but I need clarification on that one.
“I can think of dozens of other members that are 10x more offensive, ridiculous,”
Notice I did not include Sociopathic. ;-)
I don’t know what you mean when you say “notice I did not include Sociopathic”. That was my line you’re quoting, so what and where am I supposed to notice what is presumably a list you have composed? I’m really stumped on this one. The only thing I can think of is you are indirectly calling me a Sociopath, something I generally would disagree with, most of the time, heh.
“again, something that does not affect anyone but her and her boyfriend”
Again, she asked the collective a question.
Right, and the question did not request opinions on whether or not she has too much sex, but somehow people morphed it into that and spewed personal judgments about something that is not their business – a pattern that seems to be consistent in most of her questions.
“all the political “questions” that boil down to the same thing: pathetic debates”
No one is asking you to stick around, even though we love you too.
I’m not sure I know the specific point you’re trying to make here. I know there are people that don’t like me, and I know there are people that do. The point that I was trying to make with the above statement is that Dibley gets shit for asking an honest question, even if it is odd or weird or unconventional or stupid, it’s clear (to me anyway) that she is sincere and therefore deserves respect. But, people seem to latch onto her odd questions without taking into account her sincerity. She never tries to start a fight. Meanwhile, so many of those political and religious questions are engineered to bait people into arguments. I thought the intention of Fluther was to be Q&A and discussion, not rehashing the same stale political/religious arguments that you can find everywhere on the internet already. Admittedly this is my own perception of the intended purpose, I could be way off on that one. I also freely admit I tend to be overly idealistic, but to be honest I like that trait :)
“At least she seems to be seeking genuine answers to specific questions,”
And we all can’t be like you. Giving an answer you would approve of.
I disagree with a shitload of answers on this site, but that doesn’t mean I automatically think those answers aren’t honest or genuine on the part of the poster. I don’t see the corelation you are apparently trying to suggest.
I am damn tired after staying up all night and now into the early afternoon…my bed is calling me. Any further comments I make on this thread (after I wake up) will not be nearly this involved, I now have a headache after typing all this shit :)
Final thought: I haven’t spoken to Dibley about this, for all I know she wants me to shut the fuck and stay out of her business.
