Grow the f**k up

Grow the f**k up

Grow the fuck up or get the fuck out!

Here we go kids...

I have a real neato idea. Why don't ALL of you who are involved in the latest flame war take your beefs off JU? The rest of us are sick and tired of you people airing your dirty laundry every goddamn day. Play your childish namecalling game somewhere else because quite frankly the rest of us could give a shit about your drama. Do you have so little in your lives that this is how you handle things? Making yourselves look like a bunch of idiots? Well that's what you people are doing. How about blacklisting? You people ever hear of that? Try it. You might find it works.

Ya know, i am almost longing for the days of november when we had quite the war going on. At least then we had legitimate beefs to flame each other over. This shit nowadays is just pathetic and ALL of you should be ashamed of yourselves for acting like this. Are you not adults? Do you not have the skills to deal with each other as such?

No? Well do us all a big solid and SHUT THE FUCK UP OR GET THE FUCK OFF JU.

I really don't care if this causes another shitstorm and feelings get hurt even more. That's how sick i am of you morons.

You people (directly involved and those who have no business being involved...You know who you are) need a serious smackdown and some quiet time.

K...I'm done. I'm finished with this. Just had to get it out there. Where the fuck are the admins handing out the bans? Brad?

I enjoy getting points...but not at the risk of hurting someone else. And not at the risk of losing my friends and making a fool of myself.

And yet articles like this help keep the whole thing going... it's a catch-22 isnt it?

Snarkiness aside, I do agree with your general sentiments. Everyone needs to step back and breathe a bit, and then remind themselves that this is "just another website" Granted it's a pretty cool one with some neat people, but in the end it's nothing more than a web site and if they find themselves getting worked up over it, they're taking it too seriously and may benefit from some time away.

It's the constant feuding of late that has driven me from reading JU lately... I just don't care to sift through the mudslinging to get to the good stuff. Does anyone remember Brad's "Stages of Community" (or soemthing like that) article where he outlined the stages an online community goes through as it grows? Isn't there something like this in it?

This article could be portraying so many cases in JU and i totally agree with you thatoneguy, if there's personnal conflicts between bloggers the rest of JU doesnt need and doesnt wanna know about it. Specially if it's over childish issues.

A little too many personal details have been revealed whether involved parties want them or not.

A little too much shit stirring on the part of some bloggers.

I don't really have much of a clue of what's going on, and I don't really want to

Me too. Unfortunately some of us feel the need to drag it out for all here to see. Kinda like an online episode of Jerry Springer.

I noticed that too. My bitching about it does add fuel to the fire. Maybe this time the dialogue will remain civil, as it has so far. [

Another keen observation! I also realized this after the fact. Ain't hindsight great?

Give her a cigar! She nailed it

Make that wayyy to much stirring...And with a blender too!

mmmm we loves a good shitstorm:)
Most of the time it ain't so bad...I guess i just hit my limit Grey. I like to think i have been a lot better as of late controlling what i call my "JUrage". The meds are working...

One of the codes in there is broken.

All I know is that I let myself get dragged into the fray a couple of times this week, and I wish I hadn't.  Some of what was said really hurt me, and I reacted instead of thinking things through.


It won't happen again though.  I'm sorry for upsetting some of you....and I did try to resolve the situation in a less public fashion but no-body else wanted to play by those rules.


Again, I'm sorry y'all.

It was your open paren.  It queered the rest until there was a default close.
