Me thinks Wing is under the Autism spectrum, perhaps a textbook high-functioning Autistic/ Asberger individual.

Symtoms:
Poor social skills
excessive concerns with exactness
very rigid; not flexible
a rule follower to the tee.

Another known thing:
They detest sweaty feet, much so than normal. In fact, they will take off their shoes at work/school, because their feet are sweaty.

So Wing is Gil Grissom w/ a foot fetish? Yikes.

I agree with the first two but she was very flexible with her "friends" and the rules went right out the window. She was a huge tyrant who had her favorites. She even bent the rules concerning celebrities. It was okay to slam Star's weight but heaven forbid you mention anything about Kirstie Alley or Keely Shaye Smith. I was thrilled when a poster on the KA thread basically said that the reason Wing warned the thread about badmouthing Kirstie's weight gain was probably because Wing was a fattie herself. The post only stayed up for a minute, naturally.

You know, I just thought of something that annoyed me about FT...BIG TIME. About this time last year they decided to start giving people Fame Audits, circa 1982..? Or something? It made no sense and was stu, stu, stupid.

I've opened FT in a new window to see what they were...The 1982 Fame Audit of Michael Jackson...Heather Locklear v. Heather Thomas...A Galaxy of Fame of the cast of SNL from like 1984 or something...and whatever the hell "Minutes from the Final Meeting of CARVAC, the Union for Superintelligent Celebrity Vehicles" is. Was anyone else annoyed by this?

I didn't think they were particularly stupid; you have to go for the dramatic-irony-type of humor, kind of like "Ten Years Ago in Spy" when they'd "interview" an unknown bodybuilder form Austria and declare him "the next big Hollywood star" or something like that.

I liked most of the 1980s stuff. A little too easy to see where the humor was going at times, but miles better than celeb. vs. thing.

Yeah, there were quite a few people like that(at least in the threads I visited), it seemed. They would deliberately pick fights with other posters and monopolize the entire thread by going back-and-forth with whichever poster(s) they decided to flame. I was never the target of an unprovoked flame war, thank goodness, but I felt bad for the posters who were. Heaven forbid if the "flame throwers" in question were BFF with Wing. You might as well get a new username and try to start fresh because no one would step in and reprimand them.

The unprovoked flamewars--especially with those that were close to the mods--weren't good. I was lucky in that I tended to fly under the radar...except about 2 or 3 years ago I mentioned something in a thread about how while I thought it was fine that celebs express their political opinions etc., that their opinions shouldn't be given any more weight then they otherwise would be just because they're celebrities. Some poster just slammed me--twisting my words around, taking it with personal offense that I oppress the poor defenseless celebs in this country should they try to express a political opinion...

I didn't respond because I'm not going to get in a flame war with anybody, I'm sorry, but it's celebrity gossip--it's just not worth it. But I do remember thinking "Chill out, it's not like I'm standing behind Ben Affleck with a gun telling him to shut it everytime he opens his mouth..."

That's exactly what happened to me. Another poster twisted everything I said just to cause controversy.

Edited, because while this was directed to a specific person and an honest description, I can see how it could be considered offensive to others. My apologies.

I guess Lane Bryant had a link to Fametracker

NOT FAIR to crack my shit up so early this morning!!

I even emailed Wing and asked why she banned me, and she said something like she does random clearing out of posters and don't bother her again.

Yeah, she was too busy kissing the asses of the celebrity betters working hard on some unfunny piece of crap something.

Finally, Wing realizes what the rest of us have known for a long time. She's not cool.

Considering everything, probably the next thing she'll realize is the world is spherical.

WTF? Is there something I'm not "getting" about the Celebrity vs. Thing...thing? Even the concept behind it is so, so unfunny.

This is why I haven't gone back. Without the Fame Audits, the site is useless.

These "Things" are Wing's cry for help. Yes, Glark is always "hugging" the servers. But is he hugging Wing?

Would you hug someone who keeps bathing yet always has an unclean ass?

Or maybe her ego's so big, she thinks this stuff is actually fascinating. Anyway, her writing is no longer about witty celebrity commentary; she's mesmerized, like a two-year-old, by her own bodily functions.

Or she's finally gone insane.

Ouch! So what do we do now, call the Something Awful Buttertroll Removal Hotline or something?

Oh hell yeah. It's like suddenly they went the E! route of not wanting to rock the sugar boat. As if. Come on, whatever happened in the FT forums I doubt it would have much to do with the people who are now trying to curry favor through their sad ass website. Come on, show some guts and teeth. God, it's like they're reacting that time in high school they got swirled and dragged around the track. Show some dignity.

That's exactly what happened to me. Another poster twisted everything I said just to cause controversy. I later found out that this poster is an ACLU type attorney, quite overweight, very homely and her mother nags her to go on dates. From her pictures, I don't see her ever dating. She may be very smart but she's very abrasive and always ready to argue. She and another poster were the nastiest on that site. Really, after finding out who the rudest posters actually were, what they did for a living and what they actually looked like I was WHATEVER.

Insecurity is a harsh thing, which also makes their pandering even more odd. Eh, oh well, off to be my secure-ass self and stop bashing on Wingy and Fadtrackers.
