plus theres always more interesting things to do with our time :P

Oh... my... god... You know, not reading books makes you even MORE gawthick than any of us could ever hope to be. *rolls eyes*

There's usually something better to do?! How dare you bash the almighty written word! You've made me weep!

Listen, at the risk of sounding harsh or puerile... oh fuck it -
Go take your pathetic, self-absorbed, co-dependant, "i wuv you more" "no, I wuv you more" mutual-masturbation somewhere else!

Thank you.

Cheers for the replies, I only said i didnt read books, and you are going to judge me on not reading books....

I didnt know that you had to read books to be a member here or goth

*seams like a nice friendly place though lol*

I wuv you more than both of them combined, Morrigan! THANK. YOU.

like i ask what have i done to warrent this shit...

Read the site banner ^

lit·er·ar·y
adj.

1. Of, relating to, or dealing with literature: literary criticism.
2. Of or relating to writers or the profession of literature: literary circles.
3. Versed in or fond of literature or learning.

4.
1. Appropriate to literature rather than everyday speech or writing.
2. Bookish; pedantic.

Yes, It would be practically impossible to know that the gothic subculture is literature-driven; especially seeing as the site banner is way-the-hell up there at the top of the window. "Bone-Chilling Literary Culture" should have been a dead giveaway, hon. Most of the people here, and in the subculture in general, believe it was birthed from the poetic works of gothic literature.

PMSL better get myself on amazon then llmao

If you're not genuinely interested in reading, hon, don't get into gothic literature for the sake of being 'gawth'. Don't force yourself into liking something for the sheer purpose of being into the out-crowd, or any other shameless ego-fullfilment.

Hm, I think you are going on Ignore along with your 'husband'.

God willing, may you never reproduce.

Cheers its not like ive done anything is it after all

shame you mum and dad didnt take your advice

awwww, aint she cute....

Oh....another moron. Like minds do keep together.

Oh hello Moron nice of you to introduce yourself.....................

Nice try. Let me guess....you're 14 and your mommy doesn't know that you're being naughty on her computer. Run out and play little one...run out and play. Oh...and when a stranger comes up to you offering candy make sure to take it, and ask about seeing his new puppies.

:O she knows...she knows.....

funny how 2 people can have soo much fun in 1 afternoon...never ever knew we could have sooo much fun in america....u must be american, cos no one in the UK would be soo rude...

This is your idea of fun? Wow...you must both live such full and interesting lives!!!

You do realise that everybody here can put you and your fellow troll(s) on ignore, right? Which is what I am about to do. I think you would get more attention if you picked your nose in public.

can i have a go on yours 1st? seems to be sticking in on this convo....funny, cos i am trying to get on everyones ban list, i had a bet that i couldnt get on EVERYONES....

can u run a pol for me, so i know how many of u have me on your ignore list?

Some of us believe it was birthed after the punk movement in music.



Morrigan and Draconysius, please don't make any more inflamatory posts. It is completely unnecessary(?) to attack someone because they don't feel the same way about books as we do.

If I sound a lil too bitchy, I'm sorry. I've not been in the best of moods since I quit smoking.

That's quite enough!

I'm about to delete this thread!

Thanks guys, and i honestly am a genuine person

I came on as i liked the look of the boards and then all the questions started getting thrown at me, and then i got flamed, i just retaliated, i should no better as to not flame back..

selfdestruction is a genuine guy, he really is not a troll, just couldnt believe all the negative comments as soon as we made the posts.

I will read all the rules in full and start afresh

I'm 99.9% convinced that her and her 'husband' are just multiple personalities of our recent troll influx.

OOooo get you......

I can really honestly asure you that we are not and if the mods or admin contact me i shall prove, this

I have said piece on this, and shall say no more, i have said im not a troll, i dont have to prove that, i can though prove it to the mods

Thank you, i shall read that now, i did read it before, but will go through in more depth

Vampyrekisses, I apologize for the unfortunate attack on you and your spouse today. It was completely uncalled for. I also understand the negativity in your responses due to the unwarranted flammage.


It is unfortunate that our site is known for attacking new people. We have been having troll invasions, but it would behoove us all greatly to put down the flame-throwers and look before we leap.


Morrigan, thank you. I realize that such flaming is unlike you.

Hi, Vampyre!

You sound interesting, at least.

I would recommend, though, that you do pick up a book or two (check out the thread about good book recommendations, if you're not sure where to start) if you plan on being active on G.net, because as it is a literary forum, you'll have a better chance of contributing something in keeping with the rest of the conversations. Also, I'd make sure your spelling/punctuation/grammar is decent, and capitalize things, because it'll be something that will lead to..."colorful" conversations if you don't keep an eye on it.

You might try starting with some short stories first. Snow White, Blood Red is a collection of creepy retellings of classic fairy tales, and I think it's a good read.

Thank you very much,

we are very genuine people, and my OH just got his back up, especially the comment about having kids etc, as we have children, and that upset me. Hence our retaliation.

I understand about the flaming, and its not like us. I also understand about trolls and what they are like I have seen them on many forums. Anyone that i have upset, can please PM and im happy to chat and hope you get to know me better.

I just hope that we can all move beyond this little bump in the road.

:)

well, i was going to post something akin to what i wrote in selfdestruction's thread but it seems as though things have settled themselves here without my intervention.

as a mod-on-hiatus - i guess that's a clue for me to exit, stage left, as a certain pink panther used to say.....

The 'person' who started this thread is on my 'ignore' list and I am not taking them off. If everybody else wants to befriend them that's fine but I don't feel like dealing with this person.

Thank you hun i will look into them books and i will read them, thank you for your advice

I wasn't reprimanding you, love.

Mainly the two who started everything off on the wrong foot by flaming the poor girl and gettin' her ire up before anyone could get to know her.

i apologise too...we both run forums in the UK with well in excess of 3000 users on both, and were quite supprised in the blatent attack...for no apparent reason...

its a shame that theres a great devide in the way Goth and Gothic people are portrayed in the UK and USA...i have been into the 'gothic' scene since the age of 17, which is quite a while ago as we have 2 children, the eldest being 12, and have never come across anywhere in the UK or the USA..as i lived in LA a while ago, where people were discriminated on for not reading books..granted this is a book site, but a more welcoming approach would have been nicer than being flamed in seconds....

oh well, we promise to play nice...

SelfDestruction

Thank you and Horror girl i would like to get too know you. Im not a 14 year old Goth want to be, honestly im a grown woman in my 30s. I know and im sorry for getting involved in this thread and the way it turned out. What i will ask is, if you are going to still ignore me, please do not keep quoting my posts (as in the music section) and calling me a 14 year old gawth. Thats all I ask

Personally, I was surprised as well.


And as far as I'm concerned, it's more important that anyone calling themselves 'goth' know who Andrew Eldritch, Rozz Williams and Peter Murphy are than who they read.

No worries. I have decided to play nice and unblock them both. HOWEVER, if either of them pull crap like that again I will show no mercy. I am in a really bad mood today.

As stated I have unblocked you. I'm in a really bad mood today, and I am sorry that I came across the way that I did. Just don't start any trouble, okay?

Well I certainly hope these two are worth what we just lost.

Which I HIGHLY doubt.

Anyone that cares to see what I am talking about can check out Santarea's Intro Thread, to see who ELSE is leaving now because of the neverending influx of idiocy around here lately.

That is all.

I don't blame them at all considering all of the trolls/ignorant people who have been on here lately.
