Is JU full of Sheeple?

from JoeUser Forums

A while back, a certain prima donna decided to rip off one of my articles.  She had to misquote it to do it, but she asked "where are all the Liberals at JU".  I did not even realize it was a rip off (seems to be her only forte these days) until Brad wrote a rebuttal.  Eh?  So what.

So what?  It seems now she is calling the tunes.  No longer satisfied to be queen bee, now she has to dictate to the rest of Ju who they can talk to and who they cannot.  It seems the latest is with a new blogger that has some problems with an established ones.  I love them both.  And this is nothing new.  Mostly in the past, most of JU has stayed away from the controversy and allowed the particulars to work out their differences.

Not this time.  That Queen Bee has decided she is going on her Donette Quixote quest and going to get rid of this new blogger.  The New blogger?  Oh, she is very opinionated!  Ok, so who among us is not?  She has a bone to pick with one of the other (most peaceful I might add) bloggers.  Ok. Dont we all have bones to pick with others?

No, out of her last umpteen blogs, the Queen bee has written 90% of them AGAINST other JU bloggers!  And gotten a lot of comments.  From Sheeple?

I dont know the exact number, but it is kind of obvious when her titles are so shop worn and trite.  And then all follow her lead and bleat accordingly.  That is not the JU I know.  And frankly, since I do not read the Napolean (Try Animal farm for the uninitiated) of JU, I dont know who is responding to her and who is not.

But I am saddened that in the world of Blogs, there are more sheeple than people and ones who have to take sides at the bleating of Napolean. And that a great addition to JU is being ostracized, not because of her writing, but due to the bleatings of the pig.

Too Bad.  I thought we had more People than Sheeple.  My bad.

if the new blogger didn't bait LW constantly I might agree with you. Look at her normal behavior in terms of LW. To quote the immortal little john, don't start no sh*t, there won't be no sh*t.

As to 90% you can see that isn't true. She takes more notice of this junk than we do, because she enjoys swimming around in it. I've never seen a crusade of hers that was successful if the other person didn't take part.

I've got nothing against Jen, but if she wants to be taken seriously she's going to have to resist the urge to post umpteen tirades against LW every time she and LW are on the same thread. It gets tired very quickly.

Ah doc, I do my best to stay out of you and whips thing, and do stay out of it.
Jen apoligized to me for the arse licking sheep comment and I acceprted.

Is tough though to see people I like at each other.

I've always thought that "sheeple" were those who bleat out "Anybody Baaa-ut Bush" ;~D

Huh?  I'm feeling left out, but just not really sure why.  Guess I'll crawl back under the rock now and go back to not really caring about the JU soap opera.

As to missing the point, 100%.  Why dont you tell me how many of her blogs since her lie of not coming back are about other JU members?  All legal since no names (Oops!  She has!  And no penalties either!) were mentioned, we can BaaBaa winkwink ignore them.

Seriously Baker, I dont know.  But it seems that whenever I see her by line (Yes, I do not read them), it is a rip off.  So you tell me.  I dont care to give the queen of whores any points.

One time a neat blogger came to my defense and she got flamed for it....I was sorry to see her back down to lw.

I think Jen refuses to get shot down, and I don't blame her.

I love our regular, FS.

I also DO know how sometimes something said doesn't always get said just right and it's possible to take the written word the wrong way...

It bothers me to see bloggers I like not getting along...

You're sure right about the ideas being used after you've come up with em....I guess some people don't have imaginations to come up with new ideas..a lot of the blogs she writes about bloggers are sarcastic, and mean. Even when she's writing about herself, she takes stabs at others. I don't find the amusement in that, then again I don't like Gladiator events.

No, I didn't miss the point, you didn't tell the truth. 90% of her blogs are not about other bloggers. I posted a link to her blog list. Yes, there are some there, but she blogs about other things most of the time.

Forgive me, but it just seems kind of futile to write a 'here's a blog I wrote about a JUser that I think writes too many blogs about JUsers.' If anything, you just make more of a mess.

No, I dont make it more of a mess when I am dragged into it constantly.  I asked  you for the percent.  You have twice failed to provide it.  I dont blame you.  I would not want to read such negative stuff all the time either, and that is why I dont read things like dailykos, puffingtonghost and demonicsunderground.

Should I?

I really don't want to get involed in so much of all this, but i'll leave this comment for the sake of letting you know that I read it.

To the rest, I am not picking on Baker, just jousting with him.  All the others, I thank you for your responses.  And indeed, I find none of you in that the category of the title of this blog.  I doubt any under the title will respond (BTW LW since you are stalking me, you cant be a sheeple, and there fore you cant respond).

But I am still sad that so many ganged up on one - in a duel that should not have been, but was - without really reading.  Maybe Starkers should talk about it.  Maybe someothers.  Maybe, we need to think for ourselves.

maybe.

Doc I appreciate the effort you have gone to here, but really you should not as you will only end up being a pariah along with me.

Baker

I have not said anything to LW until today when she put up her lets rub it inJennifer1's face article. then I went to town again.

Cacto, I find it very hard to keep my mouth shut.


None of you actually get it.

I stood up for Lucas because he was being bullied mercilessly and tonight I stood up for Pearl, I have read Pearls blog each time she has posted and I have caught it, it does not always make sense to me, but it is plain to see she is either not english or a very illiterate english person.

When you post an article on your blog the DEFAULT is to the forums from what I can tell, not everyone is as educated as some here and I believe Pearl being a kid is not either, so she is probably not even aware that her blog goes to the forums.

LW's comment was a plain bitchy nasty remark and I put myself in that kids shoes on the receiving end of her cattiness. It is uncalled for, LW takes her "bitchy" routine to far when she starts on a child and someone who obviously has language and writing problems.

If you are too thickskinned to actually recognize that her remark was downtright rude and nasty, then I believe you have become to LW oriented and too insensitive to others.

The one person I believed would understand that is you Baker, I am sadly mistaken, you are not compassionate as your lack of compassion for this childs blog is very clear in your intolerant attitude toward her english and her writing.

I have stood up for two people on JU make that three Trudy as well, it must be obvious I do not tolerate Bullying very well and I will not shut up when I come across it. Frankly I am surprised at the number of people on JU that allow merciless bullying to take place and the number of people that jump on the bully wagon (as stated on my post about sheep).

LW has to learn when to curb her little "I am nasty routine". The fact she has been allowed to get away with her routine for so long is probably the reason you (said generally and broadly) have all become so insensitve and no longer have the ability to recognise bullying when you see it. You have all become so thickskinned in your attitudes because of the daily dip you take into LW's filthy nasty "I am a bitch routine". We are all aware that this is a persona LW has created for online purposes, so why do we tolerate it going so far all the time? Because it is funny? At whose expense?

I let sleeping dogs lie, if you go to my thread about the sheep, my last comment was 26.10 until today when LW started her nonsense by posting another article. FS is as guilty, she comments on MM's thread that I do not let sleeping dogs lie yet she is commenting on LW's thread and truying to rub my face in it. I was letting the dog lie down and die in LW's shit and they resurrected the bear and forced it to retaliate.

JU is defintely a bunch of sheep with the exception of a few pristine characters, I apolgised for my outburst and thanked everyone for their contribution in flaming me so I could learn by my mistakes - a small handful have actually accepted the apology, the rest have not, they are the sheep. LW and FS have insisted on carrying on with this little opera of theirs, LW with the intention of getting me off JU.

I have been going through peoples articles right to the beginning so far have gotten through:

Doc
Icono
MM
Bakerstreet
Locomamma

This is a part of my get to know JU plan AS ORDERED BY JU BLOGGERS again I say to JU Bloggers - GET TO KNOW ME TO!

I raised some valid points in my sheep thread, probably none of them have been taken note of due to you all being so outraged at my honesty, they say truth hurts.

Frankly I do not care if what I say here gets me banished or forever hated, I will at least have spoken the truth.

I do believe you should all be ashamed of yourselves. The fact that you allow a persona made up by LW to get away with what she does and on top of that you all climb on board too.............................need I say more.


Doc thank you and I do hope Ju has the sense not to hold this article against you, but somehow I doubt that.


I did not do a spell check or grammer check for you fuss posts so suck it in!

I think Jen refuses to get shot down, and I don't blame her.


Thank you Trudy, this is correct. I will not get shot down by the likes LW because she demands it.

This is not my normal behavior to LW - do me the honour of going back and reading my articles as I have done to you, you claim to KNOW me BAKER - I beg to differ! This behavior to LW has been encouraged by her posting YET ANOTHER ARTICLE TODAY!

JU is just to slanted for its own good!

Please point out to me where i have done this other than PEARL92, My Flame Jennifer thread. thanks Cacto.

doc: Don't fekkin ask me for a percent, it's your argument. You are the one lying and specifying 90% when anyone with eyeballs can see that the majority of her blogs aren't like that. You do your own damned homework, doc. Run calc.exe and figure it yourself if you want to brandish a fact, and don't expect people not to notice when you lie.

jennifer1: No, the point is lucas is an ass that doesn't have the ability to function in a place like this. I have no idea why he's even allowed here at this point, since he proved himself to be a plagiarist. If you had hung around long enough and watched, or went back to see what caused the angst toward him, you'd have seen that. (i.e. knowing what you are talking about before you yap.)

Anyway, I don't give a rat's ass why you're mad, if you drag it on to my blogs it will be the last time you post on them. I was just letting you know.

You have just lost my respect Baker Street.

Given your inability to be fair, and your very one sided view here I will not be reading them or posting on them again.

You sit there and type an answer all one sided to LW claiming I am always baiting her, when I point out the truth to you, you brush me off, leaving me sullied. You sir are an arrogant tosser. Do not visit my posts again.

Baker,

I asked you once and you never replied. Are you related to LW?

Jen, I hope you get past this and stick around. I for one, like you and like your spunk. Don't always agree, mind you, but can see you've got spunk. Spunk is good.

All the diff personalities should give the others a bit more grace. Most of us are....well.....very opinionated....that's a given. But let's give each other the ability to have their opinion and leave it at that.

I, for one, enjoy the diff personalities. Where I draw the line, is the personal attacks. That, I have no patience for and will call you on it every time. So let's remember to attack the discussion, not the person.

I think that is a very apt qoute for the moment.

Lets all just move on, and get a bong.

Erm, I mean along.

Right.

Seriously though, Jennifer, Bakerstreet, and all of you. No matter how hard you snap, bash, and bang - are you *really* going to change anyone? I mean, especially LW. I've tried, for how long to get her to change, to undersand me. You all know where that got me.


Anywho. Like MM, that is all i am going to say, and I'm staying on the sidelines.

I try to stay out of drama here as well.

Jen, for what it's worth from me (I've been a semi regular lately, it seems), I have no intention of outcasting you. If there is an article you write that intrigues me, I will most definitely reply to it.

The only problem I have with you is that I, too, was one of those people who felt you were toooo harsh in your reply to Serenity's open letter article. Out of all the outspoken and brash people who write here, I found it odd that you were getting into a tiff with her.

I know this is something you don't agree with, but she IS a good person...one of the LEAST confrontational people on here.

My "slight" siding with Serenity had nothing to do with LW...I like Serenity, and I felt that you took her article tooo seriously, thus sparking your harsh reply.

btw, no baaaaing from me...I don't feel there is anyone I "follow" around here. There is not ONE single person whom I agree with and nod along with 100 percent of the time, not-a-one. I just like who I like, and reply to whomever I feel like repyling to...

I was new once, too...and there were several people whom I didn't care for on here...two years of being around, though, has definitely given me the opportunity of knowing different sides of people, not just the one side that I didn't care for. Here is hoping you do the same.

Hopefully this will blow over soon for all parties involved.

Oh, and DG/Jennifer. (Heh, I find it incredibly humorous that she has the same first name as my girl friend.   ) If I am a "LW sheep," then why the heck have i constantly butted heads with her? Why have many bloggers butted heads with her? Think about that.

Lucas,

You got it.

Barkeep, you heard the blogger, thanks.

*QOD gets the drink*

Enjoy.
