Do we need a meta-community? aka posters with no sense of irony.
And, in a new installment of [info]bad_rpers_suck, I bring you... Calanthe_.

Watch as he bravely draws out conversations and leads someone around by the nose, just to be able to get acclaim from his peers in this community! Wow, we don't even need to venture outside our own borders anymore.

I've always been quiet around here, but when I joined in early 2003, this was a place run by [info]ragabashthule, someplace to blow off some steam after a particularly frustrating episode with someone on her games. Nowadays, it seems as if the inmates are starting to run the asylum. When did this turn into yet another 31337 bashing community, where the self-declared ubermenschen can freely dissect those they deem inferior?

Then again, I suppose it's also convenient, somehow - after all, we get two people you wouldn't want to RP with, all wrapped in a single post!

That...err...seems slightly harsh.

I'm not going to debate whether the OP was actually leading the 'idiot' around by the nose or was legitimately trying to give someone a chance and had it blow up in his face. Obviously, we'll never know the truth of this.

But, one, there are about a million posts in this community with similar conversations. Picking on one is totally uncalled for.

Two, looks like you're trying to start a flame war. Never a good idea. That's as bad for this community as a post where "he bravely draws out conversations and leads someone around by the nose, just to be able to get acclaim from his peers in this community!" is.

I agree with you completely. After I finished reading this post the first time, it sort of screamed "Hi, I'm wankbait!" to me.

If someone contacts you over AIM in an attempt to start a freeform RP, and you apparently can't stop remarking to yourself from the start what an idiot this is, while simultaneously trying to build yourself as wonderful and long-suffering, is rather...

As for the "millions" - I know. I have to pick one, though, and if you're going to flaunt your attempt to garner "BRPS cred" in such an obvious way, you're basically placing a kick me sign on your backside.

I remember posts similar to mine occurring before, by the way. But since I'm a stickler for loops like these, allow me to quote Calanthe_ himself.

Edit: Okay, if you don't want to read my snarky comments that I was polite enough not to say to this guy, don't read this post. ._. Yes, I got mean, but I am venting here, as that's what this community if for.

What, exactly is a meta-community? Do you mean another BRPS community where we made fun of such ironic postings?

Like, Fandom-wank?

OOH, a Yaoi-wank community! We NEEDS a Yaoi-wank community, FFS, half of RP bitching revolves around buttsex.

I wonder if we can still get wanked if all anyone does is point out that this is a prime candidate for wank.

Man, this community's getting too meta for me.

It happens all the time here. Just because you post to brps doesn't necessarily mean you're not a bad rper yourself.

Uh, and you couldn't just respond to calanthe_ instead of rousing up some drama of your own, why? I mean, this is about twenty thousand different kinds of uncool.

Wow, what a coincidence. ^^; I'm pretty sure I know who else is behind this. It's sad that a former rp buddy of mine has her new friends turn around and do this.

I applaud you for completely outdoing whatever wank I could have accomplished. That takes skill, really.

Trust me, I wasn't even aware until a bit ago that you were the same person. (Duplicate journals?) I am very interested in the things I was told, though.

But I must commend you on the snippy post back. I'm highly interested in your background, as a matter of fact. Apparently, this post doesn't even brush the surface. You deserve to be mentioned here, sweetheart, you're a five-star asshole.

While adding some more mud to the slinging here is nice, unknown person, please at least go through the trouble of reading what I wrote. : )

I'm well aware of the fact I wrote those posts, and of the reasons I wrote them. They did not involve getting acclaim.

/Watch as he bravely draws out conversations and leads someone around by the nose, just to be able to get acclaim from his peers in this community!/

How do you figure? No really, I'm interested in how you know s/he wasn't actually being patient? Because you wouldn't have been? Is that maybe because not everyone is you?

No, it's not obvious that's what was happening. I'm not sure who made you psychic, because I am not seeing how you got to that conclusion. At all. There is no evidence besides your say so in that post.

If it's a problem you had with the comm, you could have posted your concerns instead of a personal attack. If it was just a personal hate-on, leave it off my friend's list.
