The What Are You Wearing Today (WAYWT) Discussion Thread, Part II

[Mr. Moo]



Well, happy to respond to this.

You were a pleasure to meet in person too Mr. Moo as well as Sinnedk. However, the reality is most of our interactions are online on this forum and it's not like we are meeting up in person all the time -- so your online persona to me is more relevant than who you are in real life. This may change in the future, but for now that's what's up. - Fair enough.

Your online persona is conveyed and built by your post content. And I for one am here to consume good content and when I think back of every single post that you've posted that I've read.... I don't really remember any that held any value for me personally besides the amusement I mentioned above. - Fair enough.

That is harsh, well I freely admit I am a huge asshole, but that is my honest impression and I don't think I'm entirely alone in this -- maybe not as absolutely as me, but I expect there are at least some who's impressions skew in the same direction. - I don't know that you are as much of an asshole as you think. You seemed pretty non-asshole in person...

It's impossible to tell when you are serious or trolling. This is kind of the point...

Your trolls and humor aren't really that funny. Humor is not universal, I'm afraid, nor does it translate all that well across a medium such as this. I have had a number of people who seem to be devoid of any humor tell me I'm not that funny (tira was another) so... it doesn't mean anything to me.

And now and then you express a lot of victim-style outrage (which again may or may not be trolling). Fundamentally, to me right now your online persona is a one that who can dish it, but can't take it and tries to come off like he doesn't care, but cares deeply. - This seems to be a feeling that a number of people here share. I only get a little peeved when people start making personal (family) attacks, because... well, let's face it... that would never occur in a face to face meeting.

Your fits have improved lately aren't bad, but they come rarely and they aren't like inspirational or anything. You don't sell anything or purchase anything I care about or want information on. Fair enough.

So yes you are a human and in person you are a friendly and good guy, but on here? Well. Anyways I think it would help if you decide to be a full on troll and never express outrage or claim that people went too far or quit the trolling. And probably it'd help if you decide if you actually care or don't care and maybe helped people figure out which you decided to go with. - Interesting points. Dually noted.

My replies are inline, in bold.

GUYS. GUYS! We've just been misunderstanding Mr. Moo the entire time. He just cares so much that his sleeves aren't big enough for his giant, giving heart ;o;

My favorite part about nah's posts is refreshing the page and seeing the posts evolve via edits.

You just did it again. First version did not have my quote. Now it does.

So cute.

I appreciate the thoughtful replies. This is a Moo I can enjoy online interactions with

I consider myself an asshole online because I'm here for me and I don't care about others think of me so I'm going to say what I think consequences be damned -- I consider that the mentality of an asshole.

On trolling -- yes that is the point of a good troll I guess. But who is like "Oh man that troll got me good, what a swell guy" I don't think anyone. And I don't think you really can play the I'mma troll sometimes and then be a normal guy sometimes and expect people to tell the difference since yes... good trolling you can't tell. You basically can't have it both ways. Also it's pretty clear when say Nahneun is trolling -- maybe that's "bad trolling" but it's easier to separate and define which I think people need and less of a drain on the community. So which version of trolling is actually "good" vs "bad"? Well... maybe a good **** is huge and stinky, but that isn't something I appreciate.

Yeah I mean I don't know who all shares the same view or not. But I mean if you feel you operate with a bit of a chip on the shoulder and if that's the case then maybe more people share that view then you'd like. And thats the thing with family stuff. People would say racism is too far or making judgments about their life choices is too far. I understand for you that family is sacred and crossing the line, but the lines just aren't absolute -- so... for some people family is not too far, but racism is too far.

And I personally will attack someones family in a in person meeting if I feel like it's warranted. I don't give any ***** if they push me to where it makes sense to do.

Lastly, what I've come to understand is while impressions seem set in stone (first impressions etc) if you change and demonstrate value people will always come around. I've seen this true in my admittedly awkward social interactions (friends) as well as in the workplace. I've worked with some terrible people who I thought would never change for the better, but when they finally did... I truly appreciated it, expressed it and whatever they were like before was forgotten -- it at some point became irrelevant. And I've gotten better at things which I thought was set in stone myself, and people recognized and appreciated it as well. Hugs all around.

So I dunno man -- I would say that the Moo that has existed up to this point if he went away I would probably find that great. However, if Moo-troll went away and someone more reflective of RL Moo showed up -- I don't think anyone would not be happier and welcoming.

But hey, I'm one internet person. I don't matter. So as skitlets said "You do you" We all are here for different things and have different values and needs.

Interesting stuff. I can't agree with in person family attacks because that's when **** hits the fan, but I can see what you mean. Thanks for the thoughtful banter.

Not particularly witty or original, he seems to try and pick the easy joke or troll in order to gain as many thumbs as possible.

Sounds like some projections here. Do you not sometimes copy-paste jokes from reddit and act like they're yours?
