Subj: question
From: Elyssa
To: Ivy

Hi. This isn't about a question about the site but a question about how u got something on to the site. Well i will cut to the chase in stead of waste your time blabbing about what it's about and not just asking it. Well here it goes. Where do you go to get those cool dolls. I mean those dolls that your friend made that she or he said looked like you? Well if you don't understand email me at AnimeArtist@[address deleted] and if you can tell me how please e-mail me at the same place. please try to find out if you don't know! thanks! bye

Elyssa. e-mail In case you didn't catch it: AnimeArtist@[address deleted]

[So, I was a bit perplexed at this point, wondering why of all the places on the 'Net that have cartoon dolls, she has to pick ME to e-mail to get the dirt, especially considering the fact that I said someone else made it and this kid acknowledged that she knew that. I was also a little annoyed at being told that if I didn't know, I should find out. 'Scuse me? I don't really have time to research something like that when I don't even use it. Also I was a bit confused as to why she seemed to think this was such a complicated question that she kept supplying me with her e-mail address and urging me to ask questions if I didn't understand. What's not to get? Oh well, I'm probably just ignorant, as you'll see later. So, I replied.]

Well, I'm not sure why I got your e-mail from djherman@[address deleted] if you want me to e-mail my answer to AnimeArtist@[address deleted], but I'll answer here.

Well here it goes. Where do you go to get those cool dolls. I mean those dolls that your friend made that she or he said looked like you?

I didn't go anywhere to get the dolls. My friend made that graphic and I don't know where she got it. I don't have any other dolls on my site.

if you can tell me how please e-mail me at the same place. please try to find out if you don't know! thanks!

I'm not going to go search for how to make and find dolls for you. I hope you can find out but I don't have any reason to go around looking for how to make them; I don't use them except that one that my friend made.

--Ivy

[I figured if it sounded a little snippity, it was just in response to the attitude that I would have no problem with just finding this crap out instead of, say, her going to a search engine and typing in "cartoon dolls." There's a concept. I got a reply.]

ok well im sorry i bothered u idiot. i think i can find them. i will search if you want to find them for me than please do so but if you dont than dont i can look around and find them. Thank yoiu for ur none asstance bye.! (and in case yuou didn't know i am mad at u cuz u r all snotty. Y dont u actually just say it nicly. GOODBYE!!!!!)

[Hmm, I guess I wasn't "nicly" enough, since I gave "none asstance." One thing's for sure, though, she can spell "idiot" and "GOODBYE," though the four times she actually tried spelling out "you" she only got it right half the time. But I agree, I must be the one who knows nothing. Observe my reply.]

ok well im sorry i bothered u idiot.

Ooh, I'm an "idiot" now because I won't do your homework for you. You realize if I had gone on some kind of giant quest to find your cartoon dolls that you so randomly asked for, I would have been REALLY NICE? I don't have time to go around the 'Net finding out for you, and I didn't say anywhere that I knew anything about it. But go ahead. Just decide I don't know anything.

and in case yuou didn't know i am mad at u cuz u r all snotty. Y dont u actually just say it nicly. GOODBYE!!!!!

You think I was snotty then, wait 'til you see me now. I don't think I'm "snotty" just because I wouldn't help you all of a sudden when you just came out of nowhere and said "If you don't know, find out for me." I hope you understand that everybody you talk to isn't necessarily available to do everything you want.

[That sig file does NOT match the tone of her e-mail, does it.]

[So now, her e-mail account space is oh-so-precious, she lets me know that she overuses the word "idiot" as if that matters, and then tells me to shut up but can't bring herself to fully call me an asshole. Funny. This would have been funny by itself, but it got better. I suppose just to try and hit me where she THOUGHT it would hurt (fat chance; those who are trying can rarely aim straight), she took a shot at me by "reviewing" one of my short stories with a horrid review! Here it is.]

name = Elyssa`
email = AnimeArtist@[address deleted]
story = Mother's Day
rating = 1 star (I thought it sucked!)
review = Well i just hated it. It was so boring i would die if i kept on reading! I saw that it was 1st person writing. But the first person did not do a very good job. And i know the point of the story is that he loves his mother but i think it is way to impossible. He would have to be someone elses child. Well i guess it was ok but i didn't like it very much.
-Elyssa

[HAHA! How is the point of the story "he loves his mother," anyway? He's never met her! He wants to meet her, and thinks he belongs in the 1960s, and it emphasizes a musical era having an importance transcending time, I'd say THAT'S the point, actually. So after all that "well i guess it was ok," what the hell is that supposed to mean? Yes, I DID post this on my review page, despite its obvious insincerity. Anyway, my reply needs no explanation.]

ok first of all i call EVERYONE an idiot. I even call my best friend an idiot.

That doesn't mean that when you do it it's not pointless and rude. Especially when you're talking to someone who doesn't know that you call everyone an idiot. Do you think it's suddenly okay to do that just because you do it to everyone you know?

And anyways it was just a question i didn't need u to be rude about not answering it.

If you look at the e-mail I sent you to answer your question, I wasn't rude at all, just straightforward. I didn't call you any names or yell at you. I said "I'm not going to go search for how to make and find dolls for you. I hope you can find out but I don't have any reason to go around looking for how to make them; I don't use them except that one that my friend made." I said that because your e-mail asked me to find out for you if I didn't know, and I wanted to tell you that I wasn't going to find out for you so you could find another way to do it. I don't have time to research something I will never use.

I can find it. im not stupid i just thought you knew cuz u got it on there.

Like I said, I never said anywhere that you were stupid. And I hope you CAN find it, because there are whole sites dedicated to cartoon dolls and it surprises me that you chose to ask ME about this whole thing when I have ONE cartoon doll on my site and it says right next to it that I didn't make it.

Well dont e~mail me back please i dont need anymore of ur stupid e~mails wasting my e~mail account space. SO JUST SHUT UP U IDIOT ***HOLE!

Ahh, but you keep e-mailing me. If you don't want me to write back to you, don't write back to me. If you want me to shut up, don't talk to me first. And don't treat me like this if you're so concerned about people being RUDE on the Internet.

Also I can see from when you sent me a story review that you did it when you were already pissed off at me, and I imagine you only did it because you wanted to get back at me, to "punish" me for when you thought I was so rude. Now if you want to talk about rude, I think we have a textbook example right here. It is totally beyond me why you would bother to waste your time to be so childish on purpose, but I guess I had no reason to expect more from you.

It's okay to not enjoy a story or think I did a bad job writing it, but the way you said so just showed your ignorance. The review you did only shows that you didn't understand the story and that you reviewed it mostly to be a jerk, so I hope you're happy that you look that way on my review page in front of everyone who reads it. It's hard to be offended by a review when it comes from someone who didn't get it, reviewed it in the spirit of retaliation, and on top of all that didn't even finish it.

And remember, if you e-mail a response to this, don't bother to beg me not to write you again. If you want to stop talking to me, then you'll have to stop first. I usually answer my mail since I'm sooooo friendly.

--Ivy

[So, one last e-mail she sent me, I can't say this was an unpredictable response.]

[Whoa! I probably have no idea what "btw" is, so she spelled it out for me! (I'll have to remember that it's "by the wasy," whatever "wasy" is.) First of all, I've been on the 'Net since about 1995, which is around when Ms. ELYSSA was probably learning to write her name with a big red crayon, so I think I've been exposed to most often-used Internet slang. And second of all . . . NOT a second of all thats all i have to say!]

[I took her "sudjestion" and didn't scramble to e-mail her before her block took effect, even though I'm sure you can tell I was champing at the bit to communicate with this ball of fun one more time. Goodbye, ELYSSA, wherever you are . . . I wish you luck on your all-important quest of cartoon-doll-finding!]

Anonymous: this site totally sux and u ppl should get somethin better to do with ur time then wastein up precious web space with this garbage now go grow up and do somethin with ur life

swankivy: Hmm, I wonder if that's the RUDE girl writing that? Heh. Well I guess my "precious web space" is being wasted just because I show people for how they really are. I am doing something with my life, thanks very much, and it's probably a whole hell of a lot more than whoever the hell wrote this.
