cardslinger's blog: "If it quacks like a duck...."

I'm still new to using Fubar, learning the ropes and features as it were.  Since I don't feel any need to openly chastise people who want to comment on mumms in a manner consistent with the behavior exhibited by A-holes, I find I have two choices.  I can ignore them, sometimes hard to do.  Or I can block them, Fubar gives us that option.  Now, on the web forums I frequent, blocking means you never again see a post from that person.  Perfect, I don't want to see the crap, the A-h gets to keep crapping, and all will be good in the universe.  I blocked my first crapping A-h here a week or so ago, and yesterday I notice that I can still see their crap.  So, hell bent on discovering what is going wrong in my world, I click my way to that profile and make use of that block button again.  Fubar tells me I have already blocked that particular A-h.

OK, so the A-h is blocked, I guess Fubar works the block in reverse somehow.  Whatever, there are better things to do... Hey I have new profile comments, I wonder what they are?  Oh look, a fellow mummoron of the original A-h is chewing me out for having gone to A-h's page when I have that person blocked.  They don’t appreciate my “stalking” the blocked A-h.  Really?  Well dumbA's are known to flock together.  So to stop new DumbA from further harassing me, I send a PRIVATE message explaining my misunderstanding of the block feature and assure new DumbA that I have no desire to spend time on A-h's page.  They can all relax.

I have figured out that when you block someone it only means that they can't comment on anything of yours; it doesn't block their other crap from your view, as I had hoped.  Oh well, I had best get better at ignoring A-h's posting on other peoples stuff.  

Now about DumbA…..The burning question I have is WTF, seriously, I didn't post anything, comment anywhere, do anything, look anywhere past the top page, or even breathe the A-h’s name out loud in my office.  I didn't give a bad rating; punch a good picture NSFW; or commit any unseemly act.  All I did was visit a page, once, to check a setting that I thought had requested, DumbA.

Even more interesting, now as I think it over, is that A-h must have been complaining loudly that someone had blocked them, oh the shame.  I guess on Fubar some A-h’s think that as an A-h there is a divine right to crap on everyone's stuff.  Well no, there isn't so quit complaining and move on, there are lots of places for you to crap. 

Please A-h and DumbA, if you read this, do not respond.  I have managed to keep it so I didn't even mention gender here and no one will be the wiser.  If you comment you will just pull the spotlight down on yourself as you assume the mantle.  I don't want that for you, I just wanted to vent about this particular brand of stupidity.
