Has anyone else been following this?

Anyone else been watching the pretty epic ML/Bump board wars? It's been pretty flipping amusing and a good way to pass my time. And a good reminder of why I stay far, far away from the Bump boards. The ones coming over to ML to pitch their whiny little fits are borderline psychotic.
Oh, FFS.

Re: Has anyone else been following this?

  • The Bump is nvts nuts. Hard to believe that this is 2012 when you read some of that bsc stuff that goes on over there.
  • I spent a good 30 minutes reading the ML post the other night. Those creepy Bump women are basically in a self-congratulatory circle jerk over sending a stranger a memorial tree/bench for her deceased child. I'm amazed they cannot see how utterly gross they are being. If her story touched them, then send a donation. Do not Internet stalk her tragedy.
    This is my siggy.

    Yeah this is where I am at. I have been following her blog for a while. I sent donations to where she wanted them to go. I figure she is going through enough right now, we should probably just do as she requested (with regards to charity etc.)

    link?

    There are far too many of them to link now. So many spinoffs and new posts. It all started in the ML Flameful from yesterday. TIP has been slow so I spend quite a bit of time on ML, and I like a lot of their regs. I think the MLers that said anything to even remotely offend the far-too-easily offended Bumpies har even gone so far as to back off and even apologize or be nice to the 12-24ers, and the bumpies are still namecalling and being overly defensive.

    Lucy's gratuitous use of tree/bench pictures is killing me though. She is one of my favorite MLers. I wish she'd pop into TIP more often. 

    Oh, FFS.
  • I was all in on that turf war...

     

    I was like you stink. Some one then said that I was ill tempered. Then I said your fi wakes up with less desirable breath in the mourning then what he has in the evening. Then she said that my friends all wear dresses that don't fit their forms, they would in fact look better in other dresses.

     how EXCITING that is?!

  • I know you think you are funny but really, you're just...not.

    Most boring troll ever.

    Yeah I'm catching up on the backing-off posts now. The dramatic hysteria of TB is exhausting. I wonder if they're as arm-flailing IRL. 

    This is my siggy.

    Unfortunately yes, I read it. Boring and pointless. 

    Oh, FFS.
  • Just like watching someone else's feud for amusement you leech... Suck up the animosity it tastes so good!?

  • Hey Interro, sorry your troll sucks. Hope the next one is more amusing. This one's biggest insult is "leech". Oooooh. I has such a huge sad now. I'm almost as sad as when I had to cancel my root canal that was scheduled for tomorrow. 
    Oh, FFS.

    I know! Every time the lame troll posts, I'm like "WTF is wrong with Interro? She's usually so funn... oh, nevermind."

    As for the rest of it... sigh. Someone was getting upset on 3-6 because there were so many views and only 300 comments and it was so rude of the people who obviously saw it and didn't comment.

    What happened is absolutely beyond horrible, but it's not like if the whole thing gets enough FB likes, the mother will get a time machine ticket. The only real hard and fast etiquette on death is to not make it about yourself if it isn't.

  • If that's your child in the photo i'm sorry. It looks to me to be a genetic dead end...

  • I'm just reading it now.  Nothing I hate more than people who use other people's tragedy as a way to call attention to themselves.  There is a special spot in hell for azzholes like that.

    I am reading through the Flameful right now and am agreeing 110% with the MLers (except Veronika "don't say 'dead' guyyyyyyyyyys!"  Oh stfu)
