Taking A Break To Deal With Addiction

[Prospero]

Krissy.. it was so uncharacteristic that a lot of people here who like you took it seriously. There are plenty of people who DO post serious stuff about themselves, so why would we not take you seriously.

It is not a failure of our humour if we respond sympathetically and then when you reveal you hoodwinked us are a bit pissed off.

Are you part Navajo? There sense of humour, as I experienced it some years ago, was to tell you with a straight face something quite normal like "I a have two goats" or "I am going into town now" and when you say "oh yeah, really" they'd come back and say "No fooled you. Ha ha ha."

Your "joke" was a bit like that.

So Krissy...."fuck you" (Okay... that was just a joke.)

[Chaos]

Look. This is the LAST place I would post something personal like that. THE LAST... as in FINAL... as in NOT AT ALL.

Anyway, FOR FUCK'S SAKE. Delete this fuckin' thread if there is that much problem with me having a little fun. This is so fuckin' ridiculous that THIS is what people are going to get their panties all wadded up about.

I am so done with this forum for good now. Try to have a little fun. Geesh. Out. Enjoy everyone.

The problem isn't you having a little fun. The problem is your "joke" is something serious to a LOT of people. Addiction isn't a joke. I've lost friends and family to it....And seriously? How the fuck are WE supposed to know what you consider too personal to post here? Harmless prank? Yeah.....thanks for reminding me how FUCKING HORRIBLE I felt every time I lost someone I cared about to this shit....Yup....because there's NO FUCKING WAY my PTSD would kick me in the ass and make me relive ANY of that trauma at all. I'm a nice guy,with few opportunities to actually BE nice....so thanks for fucking THAT up too.

Oh fuck off ... what the fuck has this place become, the "I'm afraid to post anything unless I offend anyone" forum ? There is enough bullshitters on this forum actually creating threads to cater to their fantasies or their need for attention.
I could see Krissy's thread was a joke from the first thread - and even if I didn't, all she did was mention an addiction and most of you monkey's have an addiction ... to this forum.

Enough with the false outrage. Carry on being politically incorrect as long as it's not in hate.

[Chaos]

And you should know me well enough to know I don't get upset for no reason....and usually say nothing as of late. I've had to watch my step father LITERALLY throw up his internal organs as he died from alcoholism. I watched my best friend become a monster because of cocaine,and then blame everyone but himself and purposefully try to hurt the people that cared about him during his recovery...And that's just 2 stories out of maybe 10. As I said originally. I wasn't mad. THEN she had to go off about it....

That'd be like me joking that I finally lost it and tried to commit suicide...
It's not unbelievable,TOTALLY unlike me,people would offer sympathy and whatnot,and then I'd be ostracized and ridiculed for doing it,REGARDLESS of it being a joke.

I NEVER rage for false reasons. I try to avoid rage at all costs,as it is not conducive to my well being with what my problems are.

Prospero:

Which is more insensitive... to post a joke about being addicted... to dougnuts...

OR:

To basically stereotype an entire Tribe of Native Americans as unfunny?

Your hypocrisy is staggering.

Oh, for FUCK'S SAKE... I was going to just let Steven's post be the last of it. But since you had to go and open you big mouth again...

This is a direct quote from a RECENT post you made (and yes, I've read nearly all of them now as I tend to get to know people through what they write before I comment on them):

"I never smoked so much that it interfered with my job,only enough that I could tolerate being around drunk,stupid people without immediately wanting to choke them. I admit, I have a lot of triggers... "

So, hmmm... doesn't seem like you have much sympathy towards people who may have drinking addictions since you want to "choke them"...? You don't "...rage for false reasons..." but you, "...have a lot of triggers..." that, by implication, would lead you to feelings of wanting to "choke them"...? Absolutely no sympathy for the families of those who have lost people to drinking, suicide due to drinking, accidents due to acting stupidly while under the influence?

But you were joking, right? So, it is OK for you to joke about other peoples' addictions but it oddly enough, triggers all sorts of tragic memories, sadness, depression, etc. if someone else jokes about it?

Gotcha.

I can continue to pull up post after post after post if you'd like to point out your utter hypocrisy in this. Just say the word... but a word to the wise... read through what you've written on this very board before you ask me to do so because you've quite a long history of making fun of people at their expense here.

The addiction to doughnuts makes it funny. BUT....That was not revealed when you first posted. A lot of people actually - quite seriously - thought you were in trouble, We expressed sympathy and support.

I do not consider it politically correct to be sympathetic to someone who - on the face of it - was in trouble. or to be upset when they revealed they were winding us up.

As for my remark about the Navajo - it was based on spending a fair bit of time with them. It was NOT racially stereotyping them.

So sorry if i am perceived to have a humour failure because i empathised with you when you seem to be trouble.

I do not know you - as clearly steven does - which is why he saw it was a joke from the word go.

Sorry for having the capacity to care - and then being made to look a fool.

First, You obviously know very little about me. Yup, I'm a hypocrite....Christ...
Go be a nightclub bouncer....SEE how little you tolerate drunk and stupid,after you've been BITTEN IN THE FACE for ASKING someone to leave, had your teeth shattered and your voicebox fractured by someone that was never even in your club to be mad at you for throwing them out..,been threatened by drunk COPS, because you told them not to block the steps where trash is taken out.... Yeah...SUCH a hypocrite for not tolerating the ones that CAN control themselves but want to force the rest of us to deal with it,as opposed to the ones who CANNOT stop drinking even if they wanted to. You can bring up all the posts you like. I never said I don't make fun of people, I never claimed to be a fucking saint, I never said I make sure my targets deserve everything they get from me.(Which is impossible since sometimes I lash out when I fall too far down). Funny thing about being crazy...I can be your biggest supporter,and one trivial mistake can make me hate you forever.....and not even intentionally...it can just be some little thing that wears at me until cutting you out of my life like a tumor is the only option. (Not specifically anyone here FYI)

And let me REPEAT the part you seem to ignore. I told you I wasn't mad. I told you the truth. And we ALL know the boy who cried wolf.....so I mentioned it. YOU are the one who got all huffy and pissy,accusing me of having no sense of humor. You don't live as long as I have,with the problems I have,all WITHOUT ending up a serial killer,if you have NO sense of humor. All I did was mention a fair point,and that you fooled me (with a small laugh no less)....You went on the attack...
