Seen on a Forum

Backstory.. I’m being insulted, and called a boy (again) because I dared criticise xoxmariah.com’s shitty excuse for a website. A few people add their tuppence worth, some of which I’m saving for another day, and then…

  • Person A: “I know! Jem thinks she’s a smart ass know it all. She is a meany! I know a few websites (domains) that closed because of her oants awards, I mean, people paid money for those, and she goes and makes them feel horrible, and than they end up closing it. :angry: Meanie head, Jem!
  • Person B: “Ok [Person A]. You are being a total hypocrite. Cause that’s not what you told me. You said you think she’s a nice person.
  • [some pointless crap]
  • Person C: “Seriously people, stop putting [Person A] down x_x
  • Person D: “Yeah, this is just going too far. Don’t you guys see that she’s getting hurt?
  • Person E: “Yeh guys, she’s f*kin hurt, leave her alone!

Hypocrisy to the rescue! :twisted:

Warning

This post is over 6 months old. This means that, despite my best intentions, it may no longer be accurate. Age, motherhood, experience, loss... these things have all changed me from when this blog was started back in the heady (ha) days of my youth.

As much as I would like to go back and edit 10 years of archives to provide an insight into the 'me' of now — to update coding snippets and revise website advice — it would probably take years to do so (by which point I'd have to start again!) This would defeat the point of keeping these archives anyway.

Please take these posts for what they are: a brief look into my past, my history, my journey.

    I found that so adorable. :|

    Hah, sorry but “Person A” has structured their sentence in such a way it sounds as if the Pants Award cost a lot. :P

  7. Sarah says: April 25, 2008 at 9:30 pm # ·

    I *totally* believe that you’re a man, Jem, because in that one dream I had about you (remember?), you were manly! …Total tranny, yep. ;)

  8. Rhys says: April 25, 2008 at 9:44 pm # ·

    @Sarah. I had similar dreams. They were wrong.

    I’m rather drunk, but never mind!

    There was this thread on Digital Point a while back, it said “GET FREE PR6 BACKLINKS FROM A BLOG” a while back (see if I can dig out the link sober, remind me). I thought it was yours. So far, no response though :(

    LOL, first its about you, then about person A. It is teh lulz.

  10. Carly says: April 25, 2008 at 10:01 pm # ·

    ^ all I have ever gathered from Rhys is that he is a) Welsh and b) always drunk….

    I am so sorry that persons B, C, D, and E didn’t consider your feelings. I hope you are not still feeling hurt.

    To persons B – E: Jem is f*kin hurt, leave her alone! lol

    Gosh Jem! You’re such a meanie head!! *falls of chair laughing*
    Geez, these guys just need to get over themselves – you’re HELPING the web community by weeding out this riff raff and saying (simply to put it ) “fix it, or get out”
    You aren’t even saying that! You are expressing your opinion which happens to be right and agreed to by most respectable web owners. These guys are just…n00bs that are jealous of youu! =D

    ohmygosh…I am such a suck up O_O

    I suppose what goes around comes around. If you criticize people for the mere fun of it, then you must expect some fallout. I don’t understand why you, at least in my opinion, nit pick at everyone. Perhpas that’s why people like to read I suppose :) .

    Jem, you’re such a meanie head.

    Haha, this entry made me lol. I wish I had 1% of the internet drama that flocks to you.

  15. Christina says: April 26, 2008 at 4:26 am # ·

    Wow, I can’t even tell who’s on what side. Are there even sides to this, or is everyone just a complete idiot? They don’t like you because you’re a meanie?! Oooh, I’m sure that will make you see the error of your ways. *eye roll* You just have to admire the stupidity of pre-teen bloggers (and give thanks to higher powers that you’re not like them).

    That hurt my brain so, so much.

  17. Vera says: April 26, 2008 at 5:14 am # ·

    *cough* tinyurl.com/6hmexl (Mariah’s site) I’m the ‘culprit’ who dared to ask the question.

    Rachael’s going to kill me :-T

  18. Vera says: April 26, 2008 at 5:16 am # ·

    Oh yeah before I forget about it: don’t you DARE blog about that. *cue dramatic eye-rolling*

  19. Shelly says: April 26, 2008 at 5:51 am # ·

    Great layout!
    Loving your reviews, they’re hilarious.

  20. Chans says: April 26, 2008 at 7:52 am # ·

    Yeah Jem, meanie! *rolls eyes*

    No one was forced to take their site down, they could have just taken your advice and cleaned it up instead ;)

  21. Mumblies says: April 26, 2008 at 8:00 am # ·

    Oh my, I don’t think I have ever heard such a nasty insult, in fact…I don’t recall having ever been called such names myself as a kid (falls about the place laughing ’til my sides split)
    What utter poppycock! If they can’t take a bit of positive criticism why the hell bother to have a website at all? Don’t let their petty name calling get to you Jem :) We love you.

  22. Jem says: April 26, 2008 at 11:57 am # ·

    Hah, I’m not bothered by it.. I was finding it funny that it’s OK for Person A to make rude remarks but god forbid she have to take it in return.

    It’s like primary school all over again..

  23. Paddy says: April 26, 2008 at 3:13 pm # ·

    I love the commotions you get involved in..!

  24. Mike Haddad says: April 26, 2008 at 5:37 pm # ·

    Ugh. I went to the site. Let her know that her comments are cut off in Opera, probalby because of poor coding.

  25. Stephanie says: April 26, 2008 at 11:35 pm # ·

    Who needs drama when we can follow Jem’s?

  26. Alexandra says: April 28, 2008 at 2:19 am # ·

    JEM, WHAT THE HELL. STOP BEING A MEANIE HEAD THEN.

    I literally LOL’d.

    Why does Kawaiiville spring to mind when I see insults such as ‘meanie head’? :D
