It is like a court reporter in court just the facts exactly as said. I am not good at that. I have often thought about a captioning program for real player, would be great. Every year I look for them to come out with new software that cuts a transcript off of Real player, but alas they never do!!

Posts: 2221 (05/01/08 3:23 PM) Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	What I mean die, is that two people can look at the same thing and see it differently based on their own prejudices. The way I see a conversation between Natalie and James might not be the way someone else sees it. So, if you are not a fast or accurate enough typist to just transcribe the conversation, and are just trying to do a summary of what took place, your own "view" of it does tend to creep in. It can be done, and I did do it. It is trickier though, and not as much fun. Also, I was brand new to BB this year, having only seen bits and pieces of the end of BB-8 before this. This was also my first year on the feeds, and I didn't know you could back them up and watch again to "transcribe" until about 1/2 way through the season. Also, the times that something really good was happening on the feeds, it just kept going--so, I didn't want to "go back" because I wanted to continue to watch in real time. By the time things would calm down in that house, updates almost had to be more of a summary. SA, you were the only one that flamed my updates, and my "meltdown" was meant to be fun, and mock your accusation of my "repetitiveness" with my series of 'CUM GUZZLING WHORE!" posts. Oh, and I have been told the best way to deal with you is just say, "fuck off" so, even though it's not really my style, Fuck off.

Please....you posted your longwinded opinions in the LF discussion thread. That is not discussion you posted that was a Lola manifesto with extreme slanted reportage, I felt like you were trying to convert people. No matter how many people would nicely try to tell you, you never got it. Short but sweet baby. And then you started randomly flaming longtime posters because they did not agree with you. Posting 5 paragraphs of your own personal justification for why Nat is awesome and the rest of us just are not getting your point of view is not LF discussion.

ETA: your posts in discussion were novellas, and when you started psychoanalyzing natalie based partly on your OWN experiences, you fucking lost me for good.

Posts: 2223 (05/01/08 3:39 PM) Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	But 7 pages of flaming other posters IS? Look in the update thread. I did update there, not opinion. Update. As far as "long winded?" Yes, I will cop to that, because I read every single post before I commented, and made the mistake of responding to a lot of opinions at once, rather than one at a time. So, I stopped it. Did I try to hard too put a little balance into the discussion? Hell yes, I probably did. However, I never flamed anyone for having their favorites, and I actually enjoyed reading other people's views of the houseguests. I just didn't walk in lockstep with the "popular" opinions, so I stood out more. Live and learn. Last Edited By: LOLABINGO 05/01/08 3:44 PM. Edited 2 times.

Why would you do that? This season, I did this myself on occasion. Each time it wasn't because I didn't want to post to the LFR thread. It was because things were moving fast at the time and there was no way I was going to remember and report it accurately by the time I got back to the LFR. Usually I would be in the process of typing a reply to the LFD thread and would use the reply window to at least get some record somewhere of what I heard before I lost it. When the shit started flying in the house, 2 seconds later something more crazy happens that makes you forget what you were about to report. Between feed bleed, the crazy HG's, Adam comprehension issues, and Yuku slowdowns, LFR was a lot harder for me to do this season.

People tried to let you know nicely, and you never got it. Evidentally you still don't. You were not responding to opinions, collective or single: you simply put blinders on and gave a blow by blow of your own take almost like a missionary looking for converts. Which is fine if you can keep it short and sweet. If you cannot understand that most of the posters here were incredibly kind to you, considering, I guess you are deluded.

Posts: 2224 (05/01/08 3:50 PM) Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	I like almost every single poster on this board factoryhurl, including you, and I agree that most posters were incredibly nice to the new BB watcher. I especially liked those who actually had original thoughts, and didn't just repeat the same old shit, over and over again, or go on flame wars, most of which did not involve me. I actually enjoy hearing "the other side." That is why I am here. ETA If I didn't want to hear other opinions, why would I bother with a message board? I learned a hell of a lot from so many of you, and sincerely, thanks for that. Last Edited By: LOLABINGO 05/01/08 3:53 PM. Edited 1 times.

Posts: 2946 (05/01/08 4:07 PM) Registered User Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	I think this conversation is actually good, sans the occasional "fuckstick" and "fuck off" remark, it stayed pretty polite. A few people have aired their grievances and agreed to post more in the update section. Good stuff, right.

Posts: 8176 (05/01/08 4:15 PM) Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	So I'm the only one, eh? Riiiiiiight. The board slowed to a damn halt with people trying to respond to the crap you would post. Deny it all you want, LOLA, but your meltdown had zero to do with me. I missed it and had to be directed to it because everyone thought it was just sadly hilarious. But continue to live in your rose coloured world, you seem to have an affinity for fantasy and the make believe. Look in the update thread. I did update there, not opinion. Update. Umm...wow. Just wow. die said it best with respect to your updating style. It was dripping with opinion and I stopped reading them because of that. When SI gets back to recapping, watch and learn. THat's all the advice I am going to give: watch and learn. Last Edited By: SurvivorArctic 05/01/08 4:19 PM. Edited 1 times.

I am a selective reader. Sounds like if more can adapt to that way of reading maybe things can work out. I hope everyone can get on the same page and Sucks can continue to be the place it is.

Granted this season was an aberration, I'm just making sure the bad habits don't carry on. I don't get why we are still blabbering on about this horseshit. What Aero is asking for here isn't much. If I, Crappysucks, can keep my flames, callouts, and general steaming piles out of the live feed/discussion threads why can't everyone else. Goddamn, you'd think you guys argue these obvious fucking points just for the sake of arguing.

Posts: 2948 (05/01/08 4:23 PM) Registered User Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	We aren't really arguing Crappy - besides that stuff that Lola started - we're trying to figure out WHY people weren't posting their updates in the update section and see if any of the updaters would be willing to do it next season. This has been a pretty rational conversation today - except for a few select posts.
