Ginmar

[la_belle_laide]

Holy crap, the person who told me that ginmar would eventually vanity search herself on LJ and find my post on her craziness?

Was right.

O_o

I don't quite feel up to making fun, though. This is a very troubled, angry person. I know that over on F_W there are loads of icons about Ginmar screaming one response to every argument presented to her ("HAVE YOU BEEN TO IRAQ AND HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A MASS GRAVE?!") and, while that is apparently true, and while it is, at least on the F_W level, snarkworthy, when you really think about it, it's kind of not funny at all. It's true that some people who are in such a deep state of freaked-out-edness and can't get out of it have creative ways of dealing with it, or still have access to logic, and they are to be commended. But I don't think that means that those who have lost their access to logic should be condemned. I just feel sorry, is all.

Although, vanity searching your own name and then necroposting is kind of cheesy....

It annoys the fuck out of me that she just ignores what you're saying completely. Because who cares that she implied someone's opinion is worthless because they're a virgin, right? That's really femenist!

I think it's one of these options: First one is that she is a complete hypocrite who finally slipped up and showed her hypocrisy, and now doesn't know what to do about it, or it also could be that she knows she's wrong, but she's so messed up she doesn't know how to say that she was wrong. Again, very sad.

"Shape up or I won't bother next time/" -- ginmar


Ha! No chance of that! If she was capable of "not bothering," she wouldn't have set foot in your LJ in the first place. It's like saying "you aren't worth my time," over and over for an hour at the top of one's voice. It just isn't even remotely credible.

(I like her occasional misuses of punctuation, like the slash in the above quote. It's very Hubert Selby.)

[shonagonchan.livejournal.com]

Yeah, true. Actually, I know the reason she said that. It was because she knew she was going to have nothing to say, because I wasn't going to let the real issue drop. She knows she can't defend what she said. So by saying "shape up or I won't bother next time", that gives her an early out. "She'll think I'm not answering her because she didn't shape up!"

Eww.

My friend has this theory that ginmar is secretly some indredibly antifeminist troll trying to make actual feminists look bad... some days I wonder.

[shonagonchan.livejournal.com]

Say, I never thought of that. I can be obtuse sometimes. Good point, though.

Gyah...

Sorry you got dragged into that. What's interesting is that I took another look at what the nice lady that Gin has such an issue with said, and it was:

I just stopped being able to read her at all. [emphasis mine]

If she didn't want to read her UNlocked posts, why would she want to read her LOCKED posts? She didn't want to read her "at all," and thus removed her from her flist. Somehow, her doing that without saying anything makes her evil. And the fact that she hasn't had a Magical Cock in her also means she's not allowed to have an opinion in the first place. I don't get it...

Yeah, the first part of that was so third grade. Notice how she said to me that I had "safetly in numbers." I had to laugh, when this came from the one who ws pissing up a rope because one person unfriended her before she got to do the unfriending. Wah.

Logic hoobewhatty?

Re: Gyah...

[agilebrit.livejournal.com]

Safety in numbers??? *logic goes boom* She has ten times the number of people on her flist than you do...

Man, I sure didn't think six months ago that the fallout would ripple into people's LJs I didn't even know.

Craziness is like radiation, in a way. ;) I think someone linked to it on GAFF (godawful websites) or maybe F_W? And an lj friend of mine said something about it in his lj and basically everyone just jumped in and said "OMGWTF".

Re: Gyah...

[agilebrit.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it got linked to at OTF Wank (http://www.journalfen.net/community/otf_wank/333672.html) and thus made the rounds at LJ. Gin defriended people who just mentioned it in passing, even if they didn't make any disparaging remarks about her. Whatever, dude. I've still got my finger on the ban button if she comes back, but I think she's done with me.

Re: Gyah...

[shonagonchan.livejournal.com]

I think she's done with me, too. I did the unforgivable: I made sense.
