Digiman, I never read any hostility or foolishness into your threads, and I *think* I even understand what your intent was. In the end, I believe you ran afoul of the format and conventions of the bulletin board method of communication and have handled the fallout a little ungracefully.

Imagine yourself in a large, pitch-black room surrounded by an ever-changing throng of people you can't see. All emotion and inflection in their voices has been neutered by sophisticated electronics which also prevent any direct physical contact between the members. Nobody has any scent to them at all.

You have all come to this odd place in order to try and interact and build community despite the obstacle of all conversations taking place without the benefits of eye-contact, facial expression, body language or vocal inflection.

Now, in order to connect with these folks, you stride to the middle of the chamber and say "Girlie girls..." and precious little else. -Get the picture?

People are trying to make sense of what you mean by that, what your come from is, and how to create meaning amongst themselves using your thread as a guidepost. I have to agree with Ivy when she says you have said nothing at all despite repeated queries towards these goals.

What I get from your original post and responses to others is that you wanted to see what other people would make of the topic, and you have somewhat self-centeredly (my opinion) declined to participate meaningfully in the situation you have created. Also, as people became more and more frustrated with you regarding this, you have retreated to not-so-subtle name calling and making accusations of elitist behavior.

DogBoy was absolutely correct when he suggested that you "Try starting a thread with a post explaining what your intent with it is. You need not just a title/subject, but some idea of what discussion you want from people."

as was III when he suggested that you were actually "...some halfassed undergraduate a.i. project that's barely gonna get its creator a passing grade."

-Now that was funny as hell! After reading that, I even began to read the rampant misspelled words in your posts as a "seeded" variable to impart a human quality to your output. III bypassing all the normal social and interactive barriers to put a huge laugh right on some deep-seated machine paranoia of mine is what makes BBS interaction interesting. Deflecting requests for clarification is not.

(That was probably more than just $.02, huh)

-Oh and:

I like girlie-girls, butchy-girls, big girls, small girls, smart girls, dumb girls, tall girls, bookish girls, athletic girls, rough girls, prissy girls, freckly girls, busty girls, bony girls, multicolored hair girls, bald girls, Crystal Gayle girls, sweet girls, sassy girls, and really just about every kind of girl except boring girls. -I don't get the Pamela Anderson thing either.

In my opinion, the ultimate "girlie-girl" is my sister Tami who does a Sistine Chapel job on her face and hair every friggin day whether she goes anywhere or not. Her style and attitude is the personification of what I view as the traditional societal projection of feminine values and beliefs. I know that plenty of women bridle at this (both lived and observed), but hey, -its her life and my way of viewing it.

sure i got ya..you get me?

i got the response i wanted.
and as for calling anybody any names. please pick it out and i will stan corrected. what i was trying to find out was who here is really for fun and who is here to give a hard time and to mess with those indivisuals that want to give a hard time.

see i come from a world (your going to have to use a little imagination here) where it's in lots of warm light that shines on everybody and everybody is happy rainbows everywhere and all is welcome. then some one comes amongst us and says WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU!!! WHAT DO YOU MEAN

and we leave it to one of us to have some fun. fun for us is SARCASM!

we thrive on Sarcasm. do you understand me?

do you feel me?
please feel me.

it's part of the original burningman experience.
are you experienced?

you need to check out my sisters. and dont get them together....toooo funny.
and as far as all girls. no one love them more than i do. in fact i tend to stay away just to stay out of trouble.. they always get me into some kind of trouble. it's all good.

Don Muerto · Post by **Don Muerto** » Mon Oct 06, 2003 8:20 pm

Sarcasm can indeed be amusing and funny. I am a sarcastic bastard myself, although none was employed in my post to you.

However, sarcasm travels about as far on a bulletin board as I can spit a rat. Its funny for the person who says it, but it is not very perceivable to everybody else.

So, if a joke falls unheard in a pitch-black room, was it funny?

I can pick out your name-calling, but it is not all that interesting frankly. No offense was meant, and I hope none was taken.

THE ORIGINAL DIGIMAN · Post by **THE ORIGINAL DIGIMAN** » Mon Oct 06, 2003 8:32 pm

no no no
none taken. i'm having fun.
i'm here with a girlfriend of mine and we really think the whole thing is hilarious. plus we have a girlfriend in china right now that's online on the ePlaya and she's having a blast too. soooo.

it's all good.

oh hey all of us really want to see where i've called someone a name. we're on my network and doing all kinds of searches and cant find anything anywhere.

You cited examples quite well. I'm proud.

Now for the second half: the explanation, which was severely lacking. please take my quotes that you so eloquently regurgitated and, for each individual one, write three sentences explaining how that statement indicated that I am a girlie girl.

Due on my desk first thing tomorrow morning. Late or incomplete assigments, or failure to follow directions and you flunk.

will do by tomorrow.

that's a girlie girl. you are now fun.

P.S. you need a massage

Ivy · Post by **Ivy** » Mon Oct 06, 2003 9:36 pm

There's another shining example of said name calling.

I also like how you know so much about me "for a fact" and it's your right to decide whther or not I am indeed "fun."

Things are more than black and white. There are never only two choices.
I'm not here for fun and I'm not here to flame people. I'm here to have conversation--sometimes intelligent and witty, sometimes smart-assed, but nevertheless, always communication.

But now that I'm fun, I can, like, forget all that stuff and go to parties and be fun! Like, totally! I'm so excited! Digiman has opened me up to a whole new world of warmth and light and everything is light and fun! Like, I'd better go do my makeup now and get ready. Catch you cats later!

if you could let me know what you mean. are you talking about being called girlie girl?

well you have been fun for me so far. any mental stimulation for me is fun. positive and negative.

so far you've been having all kinds of fun on me. you seem (from previous posts) to need to let off some flame. holding it in is not good. you can flame on me every now and then. i can handle the heat, and as i said be fore you need a really good massage. am i communicating with you yet?
But now that I'm fun, I can, like, forget all that stuff and go to parties and be fun! Like, totally! I'm so excited! Digiman has opened me up to a whole new world of warmth and light and everything is light and fun! Like, I'd better go do my makeup now and get ready. Catch you cats later!

i dont think you need any makeup but if it makes you feel better go for it.
i myself am not too much into makeup. it's not the best for the skin. and i love all types of skin.

now dont get me wrong, i'm not trying to pick up on you. (unless you want me to) i speak this way with all weather it be male or female. but you have definitely spiked my interest. especially with that last part. i dont know weather you were making fun of me thinking i just like girlie girls, thinking that that's my idea of what a girlie girl is or if you were just being facetious. i'm sure it was a little bit of both.

it's all good.

will that work for you? later i will give what i think what a girlie girl is to me but i think first i owe it to you to give my interpitation of what a girlie guy is. (will that be ok?)

hey i did it all by morning. whew. what a thesis.

2. Still no specific examples and far from the requested three sentences per quote. You fail.

when did you request three sentences. you need to start giving some examples and start following your own advise. 3 sentences? i can do that.
3. Repeated improper use of the quote function. You fail.

your just jelous because i can play your game just as good as you and call your bluffs.
Three strikes and you're out.

nope that last one was a foul ball. i can see you dont like sports too much. must be a girlie girl thing...(wait a minute girlie girls like to play sports....that's right they just dont like to watch certain ones. i can think of a good sport to watch) well anyway last one was a foul ball.
