Idol Quickies: July 16, 2010

It sounded to me as if MJ blamed us for the two posters (or two posts — maybe it was just one poster) in the Kris concert thread. I mean the posts with the names mocking her regular Glambert posters, something like Schunderbookie and then Tigre with 92 in Spanish. We had posted here about making up names to mock them — and I honestly thought we were all just being goofy with servals and beasts and suchlike — I know I can let that kind of joke go on way too long because I enjoy mocking, so mea culpa on that one, but that was all AFTER lion93 or whatever, and as god as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly… I mean, I thought we were just joking around. I did not expect anybody to actually start making up user names at MJs called OhMy94 or whatever it was I suggested. Kidding. Kidding. Kidding. I don’t post there, I will not ever, ever post there, and I want it known that I am not now and did not ever mean to suggest that anybody else post there, either, under their own names or any other mocking names.

Anyway, MJ specifically said in her rant post here (along with the fact that she a) doesn’t give a shit what we say here but b) the fact that we were making up faux-poster names made her mad, which is c) all kind of contradictory, but whatev) that she knew we had been riffing on concern troll names so what was she supposed to think whan those faux concern trolls showed up? Meaning, without looking at the ISPs or doing any investigatory work whatsoever, she assumed it was people from here. Like me, I suppose, because I participated in the naming nonsense. (Her response with the “What was I supposed to think?” was to me, which is why I am responding. I wasn’t going to post on it ever again, but I feel a bit like a kid who’s been out on the playground playing nicely, only to get called inside because somebody broke something in the classroom and if nobody fesses up, everybody gets punished. I always hated that kind of general blame, you know? And now it reminds me of that horrendous Kristen Wiig skit on SNL with the Gilly person, and that makes it even worse. It’s like Gilly is standing right there, and MJ is blaming all of us instead. I HATE GILLY!)

So, to sum up, MJ seemed to be saying that she blamed some of us (all of us?) at Top Idol for the Schunderbookie and Tigre trolls in the Kris Allen concert thread, even though deez and I had already said it wasn’t us because we didn’t think they were any different from the usual Glambert annoyances, i.e., not funny. My advice to mtl, who was running that thread that night, was to delete their posts and report them to MJ as trolls. But MJ was already mad because of other thread blow-ups and because derogatory things had been said here about her site, so she flew off the handle and banned deez and immediately assumed somebody here was responsible for the trolling in that thread, without any proof and without that making sense in the least. Deez’s bears post was funny and over the top, AKA satire, parody, HUMOR. Schunderbookie and Tigre were not funny. They posted the same crap the real Tiger and Bunderschnookie post(ed) every day. Who needs to see more of that?

It makes perfect sense that they were some idiots from ONTD or elsewhere trying to create a stir. She’d already had denial of service attacks and reams and reams of nonsense before Kris Allen ever auditioned for Idol. She will continue to have crap happen even if every person who has ever posted at this site keeps away from hers. Because her blog is about American Idol and people get passionate and stupid about it. I can’t begin to explain the passion, but it’s certainly obvious from Kerry Kolsch and her “book” to the Claymates and the Soul Patrol and Sweet Sexy Sean and the comments section of every article about Idol on the entire internet.

Anybody read Gawker and see their ongoing battle with 4Chan, whatever the hell that is? Same crazy, different channel.
