AE day is just for fun. It actually started on TIP, for Halloween and April Fools Day, maybe in 2010? I should remember, since I'm the one who first suggested it.
The intention has always just been funny, not for call-outs. The best recent one was grandmagooglesstuff, and there's usually a lot of "celebrities" or political figures. It's supposed to be like a costume party.
Aww, that sounds fun and kind-spirited. Does everyone admit who they were after it's all said and done? I'll have to try to remember to take a peek. We once had a shared log-in/AE Day on ML and it was like, "I'm really a swinger; I'm really richer than all y'all; I really peed in someone's Mt. Dew", or some such dumb nonsense like that.
Heinous to co-opt something like that for pure victimization.
Yeah there are 2 rules. 1) no call out AEs (nothing aimed at another poster or that kind of thing) 2) no impersonating another poster current or previous
It's meant to be light hearted and fun and for a laugh most often focused on CE or P or public figures or something funny like Grandmagoogles.
Yeah, Bonster has been doing a lot of call outs for racism but she was possibly thinking of voting for Trump. Makes total sense.
Bonster is like the people who decide to start working out and eating right for the first time ever, and immediately go full crossfit/paleo. Social media shaming is not optional for these folks.
It's coming back, and scaring me b/c it's so long ago! Groomz, tasty, tall pretty red head, essmo? from Baton Rouge - she may still post, Fenton, that's all I can remember right now.
It's essbee, ha! Also I live in NOLA now. I do still occasionally post. Less now that S&B is dying. But I do read P&CE/H&G and lurk here at times. Mostly at times like this when I can't sleep.
Mofongo, are you saying we're Edith's group? Because no. As far as I know she hasn't spoken to any of us (and definitely not as a group) since she left here.
An FTR, the AFB/NEY/RE people have been pretty vocal in the past about our dislike for LHC, Toledo, St Pete, et al. Sorry it took y'all a little longer to catch on.
Flex gets no benefit of the doubt or sympathy from me.
Remember when I said last week that mp gave me shit for not putting my kid in family therapy, because she was already in intensive individual therapy?
In that same thread, flex told me that we should give her up to foster care since we obviously don't care about her (or she's too much of a burden or we don't love her or something to that effect). But definitely that we should give our child up to foster care because I said parenting her was stressful.
It takes a lot for me to insult a fellow widow, but that bitch can fuck off forever.

Lol. Not all of us.
@bonster, are you like this in real life? Like, do you just insert yourself into groups of strangers and try to convince them to hang out with you by telling them all of their friends are assholes?

I.... I.... I.... jaw on the fucking floor. Holy shit.
Like damn, man! If you're gonna post a call out thread then just post it and own! Peacock that shit. Why you gonna bother to post a call out thread and then when you get called out on your call out thread you finna bounce house on out? WHY. THEN JUST DON'T POST THEM.
This place gives me a headache.
Well, as I just found out she actually thought to maybe vote for Trump - who will 'own' absolutely nothing that he says and does - this shouldn't be surprising that she's following in his footsteps.

Per Ellie, ml has to ask she be removed. I think that is a big need

I'm glad it was deleted...no need to navel gaze or whatever over hateful shit.
Hold up now. I was called to the carpet by several ML'ers who pointed out what I said to spearmint as being cruel. My remark was flippant and off the cuff. I was being sarcastic, but it was inappropriate no matter what the intent or the tone was, and I PM'ed her an apology. I didn't receive a reply so I figured it was too little too late.
I know I'm not the only person here who has said hurtful things in the heat of the moment in the past, but I do own up to my careless words that can never be taken back.

You are saying you *flippantly* and *sarcastically* recommended that Spearmintleaf give up custody of her step kid? While she was here asking for support?
NEWP. Can't un-ring that bell, ma'am.
Why don't you go back to congratulating other posters on their flower arrangements and pretending like you should still be here.

For research purposes, how many times can a person "exercise poor judgement" before it's realized that it isn't poor judgement at all but that it's simply the behavior of a basic asshole?
