The Princess Kate thread  

post #1 of 833

Thread Starter 
With Princess Kate currently on Double Secret Probation, I wanted to give people a place to vent about her rather than clog up threads baiting her.

So this is that place. If she annoys you, post about it here. Posting off-topic bashes on Kate in other threads will be considering flaming and you will be put on Time Out.

This gives you an outlet and it allows Kate to attempt to stick to the rules and not post spam/derails/nonsense posts, because she's literally one post away from a complete and eternal ban.

Kate, I didn't mean for the pizza thing to eventually lead to you racking up $900 in data charges on your mom's phone bill. I know it's not my fault and you definitely should have done a little research, but I still feel kinda bad about sort of being the impetus for that all over a dumb joke.

Having such a thread is really really really weird.

I don't know what else to do. She's incapable of posting in a way that isn't spamming, and she's incapable of ignoring bait. And there are too many posters incapable of ignoring HER. I'm trying to work out a solution where threads don't simply turn to shit with the same nonsense.

And we've had whole forums on these boards dedicated to flaming, so this isn't that weird.

Her using a goddamn translation programme to post on a French message board is the kind of batshit insane detail which makes me assume she has to be real.

This is eminently reasonable, in my mind.

That would be hilarious, as there's no reliable French translation program. Not one of them will give you something that won't make you look like a complete idiot when you post it.

I think she's supposedly very thin.

For the record: This isn't a flame thread either. If you have a problem with a post that she made that isn't related to the specific content of that post, you talk about it here. Only warning, Patrick. I'm not going to let this turn into a nasty flame fest. This thread doesn't exist to run her off the board.

Not to be that guy because I'm sure I'm no one on the rules committees friend but she did blog that she is planning to vomit all over the board in the coming weeks as she catches up on all she missed. I'm sure Wiki knows where I stand on her presence but maybe this will be a helpful thing for her to realize before she gears up.

This to me just smacks of the same declaration which got her a vacation. She "purposefully derailed", she is about to "purposefully spam."

As to the $900 charge and her post in the Grease thread if anyone has any doubt whatsoever that she has Asperger's they ought to be laid to rest. She willfully refuses to interact with other human beings and is so locked in on this place that she incurred almost a grand in data overages? The monetary penalty doesn't even faze her as she laid the responsibility at her mother's feet.

I don't want to "share" anything with the texting ill mannered slobs who clog the local cinemas. I want to avoid them at all costs and watch stuff at home, or at the very least have a film going experience where I can forget they are there in the room with me

I don't think she racked up that $900 just due to her absence, but rather a cycle of consistently posting from her phone before she was put on time-out, hence my correction to my previous statement.

As time passes, I'm increasingly convinced that Devin having mod powers is one of the best things to happen to the boards in recent history. This is a very reasoned, adult way of handling the situation (read:fervor) surrounding Kate. Well done, Devin.

No hard feelings, Jake. It wasn't a big deal and I guess it was my method of deflection that was ultimately the problem

Anyway

The phone thing is because I was web-browsing with it for like two months, your pizza comments did not directly lead to the 900$ bill.


PS Devin/Everyone:

I'm going to try to keep my head down and just post about my opinions without letting anyone bait me into going off topic. I hope that going forward discussion will be about my views and not me as a person. I will be doing my best to keep up my end of that.

PS I'm a little uncomfortable with this thread for that reason. I have a blog thread people could talk about/to me in and I'd do my best to sincerely address any problems people have.

No.

I will strive for content. There are just alot of articles/events that I've had opinions about in the past week and it's hard to know where to start.

Google translate (I don't think this is the right forum for these questions, I have a blog thread). I don't want to be seen to be derailing here

This thread is about you. Therefore you can't derail.


No matter how hard you try.

Unless there's also an "ignore quotes" feature in the future, i dont see a fix to the situation; hell, even that would be more weird, since threads would look bizarre.
It took her some time to get sent to the naughty stool by Devin, but she played by the rules most of the times, and i have her on ignore, so there is no reaosn to flame/call for her banning.
post #35 of 833

I think it would be hard to argue that the boards weren't better w/o PK for a week. I think Devin is right in that some of you guys respond to easily to stupid shit, but still.

Her post in the GREASE thread exemplifies the problems I have with her: she doesn't like GREASE, and she doesn't like singing in public. Great. Then, absent some larger, non-"I don't get this" thoughts about the film/trend, she should just stay out of that fucking thread. But she can't. It happens time and time again.

I am sorry you disagree with my take. I was just offering up my opinion while respecting the opinions of others. I took pains to point out that for certain kinds of people I bet it would be a great time at the movies. I don't see how my post caused any problems that the ignore feature wouldn't take care of.

I missed some time on the boards recently, so quick question: am I nuts, or did Kate's post count drop significantly? I thought it used to be twice what it is now.

It's been at 22-23 PPD for months and months. People think I post more than I actually do.

I'm only gonna chime in once here, and it's probably futile as I think you simply can't grasp this concept:

If something is "not for you", it's not really an opinion, and not worth posting. Don't post in threads in which you are basically disinterested in the topic. The ignore feature does not mean everyone is free to post whatever, whenever.

You feel compelled to comment on things that you don't really have a comment on. I don't know if you can get your head around that.

EDIT: And I'm saying this because you clearly watch a lot of movies and occasionally have an reasonable on-topic observation in the movie threads, but I think you really can't tell what you should and should not be posting about.

Wait - of all things PK related, you have a problem with her posting a negative opinion of something on-topic? Fatter fish to fry.
post #42 of 833
6/22/10 at 5:39pm
Not that it's particularly important, but didn't this thread already exist? I swear there was a PK thread months and months ago when most people were still trying to decide if she was even real.

It didn't drop.

I wondered about this really really early in the saga, and it's a main reason I stopped engaging a long time ago. But if you're askin'...

If Kate's mom and I are correct, no snark at all and "good of the boards" aside, I don't know how constructive or healthy it is for her to remain on the boards. If she's differently-abled in some significant way, I wonder if maybe she shouldn't be subjected to our unique brand of bunch-of-assholes. It seems mean and cruel for a bunch of people who should know better, and maybe it's time to look at this with a humanist slant. (Go ahead, make the Dalai Lama joke in your head and move on.)

For the longest time, I assumed that's why the mod stance was "leave her be." I'm just wondering if we aren't now facing an Old Yeller-type situation.

I don't disagree with your take. In fact, I 100% agree with it. I hate Grease. I don't like sing-a-longs. So, you know what? I stayed out of the thread.

I don't feel that that is an accurate characterization of what I had to say in the GREASE SINGING thread. I made sure to make my post thoughtful and keep it strictly focused on commenting on the article.

And no, I actually don't feel compelled to comment on things when I don't have an opinion. Hence the fact that I don't think I've posted on a single SCOTT PILGRIM thread (though I'm beginning to form an opinion on the hype for the film)

I was posting about the subject of sing along revivals as much as Grease. Which is what the article was partly about, the communal experience of going to the movies.

Again, please ignore me if you don't like what I have to say. I was posting with content and I was on topic. I literally don't know what else you want from me.

It's more like 70 posts in one day and then a three-day break though. Which makes it look especially spammy.

(OK now I'm really out.)
