I don't think I've actually been flamed but I've been made fun of, which I guess some take as flaming.
It's not that big of a deal, sometimes I say stupid things or word things strangely. I'm sure there are some out there who don't like me/think I'm a complete moron, but that's okay.
I'd like to think I'm accepted into the bosom of ML but even if I'm not, you all are stuck with me.

I'm not particularly gentle in my approach and used to be looking to burn, like, my entire day at work. Arguing with strangers was an easy way to entertain myself.
I'm not up for debates much anymore. Usually when I drop a bomb now, I get flamed, but I see something shiny and wander off rather than defend myself.

Ah yes, back in the day when "but you're not even going to TRY?!" was an acceptable thing to say to someone on ML.
It was from me. It wasn't chickenshit. Context, people.
And Lucy was all "oh, I had no idea." (and indicated she felt badly) It was not me scolding her, I was just providing additional detail as LHC is not on MM as much as ML.
I didn't feel it needed to be rehashed publicly, and I felt it was in a moment where Kwynn deserved to be cut a break.
I don't know if I was around for what happened to you, @misoangry, because I go long stints without checking MM. (It's not really my home base, anymore. Though, not because of any incident.)
It sounds like the incidents were not the same. LHC was not scolded.
Well, I think my PM was chickenshit, unnecessary, and completely holier-than-thou, masked with some healthy ass-kissing, as if that would smooth it over.

But you called me out on it. So thank you for that, at least. I don't like to admit I'm wrong or I'm ugly, but I was. I have something (else) I need to work on. And I will try.
With that, I'll lay low, sign off and clean up the mess in my house since I can't clean up the mess I've made here. Gotta pick up kidlet and take her to counseling anyway.
I've been flamed a couple times and still returned. I keep coming back for the entertainment, and a place to vent about kids. I did have a really epic flaming on TB when a bunch of girls TTC got seriously pissed I was KU with twins. It turned into a bit of a board war.
I don't post enough to be flamed here. But I find this board highly entertaining.
@misoangry called me a dolt once. I can't remember why, but I thought it was hilarious. That is the only reason I remember. But that was in the other place.
Also in the other place people got on my case about my opinion of cats until other black people chimed in that were more "popular" but I don't consider it a flaming.
I am here for entertainment so I can't see myself letting anything said here bother me.
I would apologize, but it was probably warranted at the time. LOL. (heart)

Me and some lurker got flamed for thinking L&L was JLM before the fiasco. The lurker got it much worse than I did because of DOUBLE STANDARDS. I just kept on keeping on because I thought all you incredible bitches were wrong.
One relatively mild one back on TN. I posted a pic of myself on my front porch smoking a cig that got some people riled up. Dotandbuzz, I remember, had a particularly strong opinion about it. Which is funny now, because I think she thinks I'm okay.
I tend to be selective about what I put out there now.

Back on TN, I was flamed for saying Minnesota wasn't in the Midwest. I get that it is, but growing up I had a tendency to consider the Great Lakes states--Michigan, Ohio, Illinois--to be more of the Midwest, and states like Iowa and Nebraska to be more like the Plains states.
I can't even find the post on TN any more. I did find myself referencing it in another post from 2009, though, so it was a long time ago. I'm sure I'm the only person who remembers it.

Yes, and it was well deserved. Just once. I was going to disappear because I was embarrassed by my out-of-character behavior, but find you girls to be forgiving. It wasn't even that bad compared to what I deserved. And I'm pretty sure that 99% of posters have no opinion of me whatsoever. I just pop in now and then.
Yeah, I've been flamed many times over the years. Most of them I can't even remember. I'll get all pissed off in the moment of the flaming, but then pretty much forget about it. The only two that I remember were in the past year and were over glitter eyeliner (LOL) and my alleged LinkedIn stalking of Elle. OH and my horribly late secret santa gift, but I deserved that flaming.
ETA: I now remember that the glitter eyeliner flaming started because I called Smo a snob. She made some comment on MM about a glitter eyeliner post of mine and I nutted up. I don't remember exactly what she said because I tend to forget shit like this pretty quick. I called her a snob and was all "I'm a lawyer who wears glitter eyeliner!" (lol) and the GoDawgs flaming ensued. I can't even remember what people said about me, but I'm pretty sure it was a pile on. I do recall Jermys being one of maybe two people on my side because I adopted, so I'm cool in her book. lol. The other chick on team GoDawgs was a girl who said I seemed pretty normal on the adoption board. Then about 50 people were team Smo. Or at least it felt like it, but that is probably not reality.
