[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not specific to the DC area, it's just how people are in general. There's an external persona and internal one. When people can speak anonymously they say things that they would never say in real life, so you probably won't ever have to deal with the internal persona other than online. People are generally assholes though, doesn't matter what part of the world you are in. [/quote]

Sadly, I think this poster has it right. I was born and raised in the DC area and I'm not "mean" IRL, or on DCUM unless someone says something bigoted. I sort of resent the implication that region has anything to do with it. I would bet most of the posters here, mean girls included, are transplants anyway.

Reading DCUM has been a seriously eye-opening experience for me. I guess I'm naive, but I never realized there were so many hateful, bigoted, ignorant, self-righteous people around. [b]It makes me wonder whether people who seem nice are actually thinking horrible things about me[/b].[/quote]

We are.[/quote]

LOL[/quote]

OK, I'm not the PP with the quote that was put in bold, but can someone explain why this is LOL funny? An 8-year-old can make funnier "snappy comebacks" than "we are." Seriously, it deserves an eyeroll.[/quote]

First poster is attention whoring in a typical girl fashion. Please, please, please tell me that I'm not fat/ugly/stupid.  She is accusing the "mean girls" of being insecure, while running her own screaming insecurities up the flagpole for the whole world to see.  I wasn't thinking bad things about her  until she begged for reassurance.

Second poster gave her a sarcastic response, rather than feeding her needy ego trip.

It was funny to me, probably because I was thinking bad things about first poster and her epic display of neediness. [/quote]

Huh? I'm the poster with the bolded quote. How is that needy and insecure? I said absolutely nothing about myself in that post except that I'm from DC and don't approve of bigotry. You make it sound like I was blubbering about feeling bullied. I was just agreeing that people are assholes and I think it's sad. Your reading so much personal neediness and insecurity into an impersonal statement says way more about you than it does about me.

Also, I thought "we are" was a funny response. I don't take DCUM seriously at all. [/quote]
