Really?

[Bullett]

I have a legit thread and you idiots post lord only knows what & get it deleted by Admin?! Thanks. I was also warned that this site if full of childish drama & bs....I can see that it lives up to it's name in every aspect. :dblfng

Or maybe Admin thought I was not a real person...well perhaps you should have better communication within the Admin Dept., because there is a member of your admin who knows that I am a real person & not just some perv starting a thread about boobs. I had a legit question & was trying to get some referrals. How else am I to get recommendations for that type of Dr? Go interview dancers in every strip club in town? Come on now.

Let me see if I understand the situation clearly. You come to a sportbike motorcycle forum to ask for medical information on BOOBS? After several cat calls and wolf whistles you get offended and call everyone here BOOBS? Really? :hmm :lame

[H2]

haha, +1 Pat!

Miss Bullett, maybe you should introduce yourself....(just an idea).....before you start a thread on a sportbike site, asking for advice on boob Drs. Come on now. :rolleyes:

Also, there were several posts in your thread, referring you to good plastic surgeons. I recommend Dr Walter Gaskas office, with St Johns, and several others recommended Dr Price.

Please dont take offense that a few of us ran amuck in your thread. We all know each other pretty well, and after page 1 most of the posts were just playful jabs at each other. Its what we do, call it childish if you want. I'd say if youre butt hurt about it, you needa find another sportbike site to ask for boob advice on. If not....WELCOME! (Now show us your boobs) :D :jk

[patdcop]

I think she should post before and after pics. Fully covered of course. She can then title the thread Noobie Boobies.

I wonder what her screen name stands for????????? Really????

[Bullett]

You are all correct, and I apologize. I should have introduced myself. Instead I just jumped the gun & went right for the main reason I registered.....referrals! However, I did thank you for them, and I will again.....thank you!

I suppose I am just used to a little different type of forum. So why exactly was my original thread deleted? I didn't feel that the subject matter was inappropriate.

As for before & after pictures.....Um, I do believe I will have to let you down & tell you that you will not be seeing the "Noobie's Boobies"! :leghump

Well, it is good to meet you.

I have no idea why your original thread was deleted. I suppose its because they thought you were a troll. But it was a good thread. As you've already pointed out, mods/admin around here dont really communicate that stuff with us. At least they couldve just moved the thread to the Warroom?

Btw, are you going above or below the chest muscle?

[JOS51700]

How else am I to get recommendations for that type of Dr? Go interview dancers in every strip club in town?

Um, yeah, actually...that's what I would recommend.

Seriously, do you want word-of-mouth, or do you want PROOF?

Because I have more than a couple of good friends who talk about their wives/GF's/SO's awesome rockin' tits, and my assessment of said mammalian protruberances is....not in agreement.

YOU need to find a doctor that can make your boobies look like what YOU think your boobies should look like. You can't do that with opinions from strangers. Every doctor has their strengths and style, and that has to be congruent with the style you want and needs that you have. Besides, one person's opinion of "the scar is not that bad" and another person's assessment of "horribly disfigured to the point that a baby might starve" could be one and the same.

Since you obviously aren't looking for any kind of self-esteem, get off your duff and go look for the boobies you think you need.

Oh, and welcome to the site. If you can't meet men, it's probably because your introduction and conversation skills suck, not because you have small tits.

Also, just to add; Im not sure why the sportbike site was your choice for referralls to a plastic surgeon for breast augmentation either? Doesnt really make any sense.

:lol That is one of the best assessments I have heard in a long time regarding boob jobs. I feel enlightened. I knew there was a reason I log into this site today.

This is my first stop for all sorts of non-moto information. We have a diverse group of people, from unemployed bums to attorneys, from noobs to 'ol bearded GSXR riders. There's a large knowledge base here, and it's a LOCAL knowledge base (which is often pertinent to my interests). Information about the topic at hand, a local knowledge base, and people I know? Why wouldn't I ask here first?

I've come here to ask about computer help, car help, renting stuff, guns, landscape, concrete work, etc. Boobs are (IMO) no further off topic than most of this stuff.

Ive come here to ask many different questions as well, but I think I highlighted the important part in your post. Its a little different when we're talking about a new members FIRST post, vs a member thats been here for years, and knows most of the forum members on a first name basis.

If you dont see where Im coming from, by asking why someone who no one here knows (minus a mod, she says) why she came here asking about boob Drs, Im going to assume its just because you dont really care for me and my opinions, and want to make me "wrong" and you "right". Thats fine with me, btw. I dont think Im the only one wondering, Im just the only one that asked.

[H2]

Im sure Ive now started a word-war. I have no desire to e-argue with you, Brandon. Just ftr. I simply asked a question, and it was a legit question, IMO.

I've gotten a lot of good information from people I don't know, or have never met in person. I've never met Res, but he's given me some good advice. Same with several other members. If you are starting with 0 leads, then any local forum would be a decent place to start your search. I'm not saying you'll make a decision based solely on what is recommended here, but it's a good place to get some names to -start- your own research.

As far as the "first post" thing...well, I've recommended lots of people to this site, if they have a question about something local and I do not have a useful answer. Usually I just recommend that they "post up a question on the board. There is a diverse population there, and chances are at least a few of them will be able to answer your question, or point you in the right direction." I don't think I've ever advised the need to post up an "introduction" first, prior to asking for advice. IMO, the question is just as valid, and those who can provide answers are just as knowledgeable, regardless of being real-life friends or not. It sounds to me like this individual was referred to this site under very similar circumstances.

Some may argue that the same idea could be applied to Craigslist, as well. "Well, if you're suggesting they ask here, why not send them to the Springfield Craigslist as well? It's diverse, and it's local too!" The answer is: because while the new poster may not know anyone here, -I- know people here. Users aren't anonymous, you can research their histories, and I can (behind the scenes) give my input on the recommendations that have been received.

If you dont see where Im coming from, by asking why someone who no one here knows (minus a mod, she says) why she came here asking about boob Drs, Im going to assume its just because you dont really care for me and my opinions, and want to make me "wrong" and you "right". Thats fine with me, btw. I dont think Im the only one wondering, Im just the only one that asked.

I'm not posing here just to make anyone "wrong", and anyone "right". You are posting how ridiculous it is to come here and ask for off-topic advice / information. I'm posting why a person may wish to do such a thing, myself (and my experiences) included.

However, since you brought it up...I think your vicious attack on a new member was completely unjustified. You, as someone who complains about being "attacked" and having "thread hijacked", went off and did the exact same thing. Why was the thread removed? I don't know. I do know that I flagged it and reported it to the mods as an issue of "someone needs to clean this up and give the new member the benefit of the doubt". Maybe instead of putting forth the effort to clean up the attacks / off topic stuff, someone decided it would be easier just to delete it all. Based on this thread, it doesn't appear it was deleted at the request of the OP.

Again, since you brought it up...I think you have a lot of pent up anger and frustration, self worth / self esteem issues, and you use this site to vent as a way to build up the "hard core, speak my mind, hear me ROAR 'cause I'm an INDEPENDANT WO-MAN" persona that is often put off by such individuals. This is my "pigeonholing" based on my past first hand experiences. Maybe I'm completely off base, and I'm sure you'll point that out. However, it doesn't change how I feel about it. Hey, you brought it up...

[Unregistered Mac User]

YOU need to find a doctor that can make your boobies look like what YOU think your boobies should look like. You can't do that with opinions from strangers.

IMO, that's exactly what she was trying to do. She came here for referrals, which I would use as a basis to start my OWN "investigation", if you will. Instead of being taken at face value, and being given useful information, the insults and crude comments started, along with the thread jacking. Hardly the way to invite a new member, IMO.

Since you obviously aren't looking for any kind of self-esteem, get off your duff and go look for the boobies you think you need.

Again, a harsh, a-holish comment based on your opinion. I know plenty of women with a crap load of self esteem who received enhancements because...well, they like the way they looked, and they could do whatever they wanted to do to their bodies.

Oh, and welcome to the site. If you can't meet men, it's probably because your introduction and conversation skills suck, not because you have small tits.

IMO, you should receive admin punishment for this statement. Again, an incredibly prickish thing to say to a new member who came here asking for advice, and was rapidly pounced on.

Any person that gets implants must not have liked the way their breasts looked. Changing your body sure seems like an inability to cope with the challenge of self-acceptance.

As crude as it is, she's (well, I'll assume it's a she, it could be a male looking to transition, too) not getting very far showing up on a predominantly male site, asking such things without an introduction, after specifically looking up a forum for women that last saw consistant use about two years ago and even that was "how come no women post here" (with the exception of a recent resurgance in use by CLBG).

Frankly, she'll get a lot further by going out, seeing what's out there, and saying to someone "Nice tits. Where can I get a set of those?"

Let's not forget, a certain someone read my post, sigged it, and that person has recieved augmentation as well.

My evaluation of self-esteem would have been kept quiet, but it was overridden by my intolerance of sheer laziness.

[Unregistered Mac User]

Any person that gets implants must not have liked the way their breasts looked.

Agreed. What's your point? .Some pPeople who don't like the way their teeth look get braces. Some people tan because they don't like the way their skin looks. Some people get their hair colored because they don't like the way it looks.

Is it her responsibility to determine if a certain sub-forum is active? No. Even if it WERE her obligation, which it's not, is it her problem that this particular sub-forum sees little to no use? No. Did she post a question in an APPROPRIATE sub-forum of the site to which she was referred? Yes, she did. She followed the correct rules and procedure, IMO. As far as an introduction...well, I view that as strictly personal preference. I've never posted an introduction to any site / forum of which I'm a member (as far as I can remember, anyway). While some people welcome it, and rules often -encourage- it, I don't think it's a solid rule anywhere.

Frankly, she'll get a lot further by going out, seeing what's out there, and saying to someone "Nice tits. Where can I get a set of those?"

That's your opinion. Not everyone feels that such crude and uncouth behavior is the correct way to get answers, and show respect to others. Besides, I don't necessarily feel that better answers would be attained in such a manner, boorish behavior aside.

Let's not forget, a certain someone read my post, sigged it, and that person has recieved augmentation as well.

Is this relevant in some way that I'm not understanding?

My evaluation of self-esteem would have been kept quiet, but it was overridden by my intolerance of sheer laziness.

Laziness on the part of whom, and in what way? I've started several "quests" with a posting of "hey, does anyone know..." here as well.
Everyone has to start somewhere. A member thought this might be a good place for her to get information. Instead, she was instantly attacked.

This person may or may not be legitimate. That's certainly a possibility. However, such treatment of a new member is still completely out of line.

Frankly, I find asking a bunch of total strangers on a website about getting boob jobs where the actual work to be performed is not shown to be more offensive perusing local venues where the work is displayed willingly.

Were the OP not a total stranger with absolutely zero background, I would not have made the comments that I did.

Perhaps you should walk into a room full of people that don't know you and ask where a good place to get breast implants is, and see what the general reaction is? I'm betting the people in that room will shake their heads and comment disapprovingly when you leave.

This person didn't come in here and say, "Hey, I'm so and so! Howzitgoin?"

I've made my point, and I stand by it.

And yes, youre wrong....Im happier with my life right now, than I have been in the past 9 years. Also, I have no self esteem issues, at all, lol. I come to this site because I like it, it kills dead time at work, and I like to speak my opinion...:D

Sooooooo Im just wondering, is this your little sister BMonnig, or aunt or something!?

I really do think that Bmonnig is simply trying to keep the site friendly and open to new members, and I agree with him on a lot of his points.

The majority of my justification for the "attack" on the new member (which did contain a lot of advice I would consider appropriate) was the context of the OP's OP.

Stranger walks in to a room and says "Hey, tell me about your breast impants!" just doesn't work for me...

I really don't think Brandon has the "better than you" attitude...

Just from my experience with him here, since this is the only interaction we've ever had minus 10 minutes at Lee's party, he certainly feels he's better than ME. Actually, Im pretty sure he's told me that before. And as Ive stated before, this is perfectly fine with me, and has no bearing on my day to day life whatsoever.

In this thread, It appears he is just trying to stand up for a new member. Great. Good for him. I wasnt trying to knock her down, just asked a question....which I honestly am curious to hear the answer to.

Correct. I also don't see how that is relevant. Do we automatically start acting on wild assumptions about all new members?

Maybe they made a poor impression on you. To me, they acted just as I would expect from "a friend referred me to this site, they thought you may be able to answer a couple of questions I have about a local concern".

[Unregistered Mac User]

Which is exactly why the mods / admins should be stepping in to correct the situation. Assuming that "polite behavior" is what they want. Based on the current lack of involvement, it appears that the mods / admins don't really give a crap what goes on here. That's fine as well, if that's their choice.

Lastly, I absolutely did NOT "viciously" attack a new member. I asked a question.

I agree a question was asked, in a very hostile way. To act in such a manner, against someone on their very first post (which appears to have been posted in a manner consistent with them trying to abide by proper forum rules), qualifies as an attack to me. Especially when coupled with you calling them out as not being who they claim to be, needing to get a job, etc.

Unfortunately, the thread is gone now, so there's really no way to revisit the issue. We both know what was stated, how it was stated, and the obvious hostile intent. You can fly whatever flag you wish while trying to put "spin" on it.

[slowninja]

F'n Blackness! LMAO

[Unregistered Mac User]

IN BOTH THREADS bullett has now started, I posted the information she was looking for.

Uh-huh. Again, spin it however you wish. In the first thread, your first post was the inflammatory / accusatory / attacking one, with NO positive input of information. Once it was brought up, later in the thread, that people were being pricks, you decided to post up some potentially useful information (only after putting in a snarky "if this person is who they claim to be" type of statement).

To act like your positive input was generated in good faith, good will, and without first being called out on your initial (unjustified) attack is misleading.

So why not send a message in a PM, to clarify the situation? Because Heather had already opened the "attack the newbie!" doorway, that's why. Once it was opened, it was deemed acceptable for others to partake as well. Which they did.

Is it more appropriate to assume that EVERY new member is Mickey / Shasta / Casey, and treat them accordingly? Or is it more appropriate to assume new site members are exactly who they say they are, until they give us a reason to think otherwise?

Maybe they made a poor impression on you. To me, they acted just as I would expect from "a friend referred me to this site, they thought you may be able to answer a couple of questions I have about a local concern".

But did they start with "a friend referred me to this site, they thought you may be able to answer a couple of questions I have about a local concern"?

Uh, no.

And honestly, I don't remember if I broke out the Attack Post in the initial thread or not.

This is my first stop for all sorts of non-moto information. We have a diverse group of people, from unemployed bums to attorneys, from noobs to 'ol bearded GSXR riders. There's a large knowledge base here, and it's a LOCAL knowledge base (which is often pertinent to my interests). Information about the topic at hand, a local knowledge base, and people I know? Why wouldn't I ask here first?

I've come here to ask about computer help, car help, renting stuff, guns, landscape, concrete work, etc. Boobs are (IMO) no further off topic than most of this stuff.

I agree, this is probably one of the ONLY and largest gatherings of people from the same area. And with that, probably one of the best online sources of information, where all kinds of people come in and ask for all kinds of things. Yes, the post was a little odd...but reasonable. H2 the way you responded, whether you meant to or not, was *****y to say the least. After that, people played it off as a joke and did what happens in every thread on here. But, the question was answered and I believe 3-4 doctors were referred...

Anyone expecting polite treatment on this site hasn't been paying attention.


Correct, name calling is the order of the day. (Jackass)

I swear as God is my witness that if the eyeball-gouging and boob, er I mean ball-busting keeps up like this I WILL take someone's bike keys away from them, at gunpoint if I have to, and leave the poor bastard chained to their laptop while I ride his/her bike for a few days. More ridin' less arguin', 'kay? :)

Flying on Obama's private plane.

Obama looked at Oprah, chuckled and said, 'You know, I could throw a $1,000 bill out of the window right now and make somebody very happy..

Oprah shrugged her shoulders and replied, 'I could throw ten $100 bills out of the window and make ten people very happy.

Michelle added, 'That being the case, I could throw one hundred $10 bills out of the window and make a hundred people very happy.

Hearing their exchange, the pilot rolled his eyes and said to his co-Pilot, 'Such big-shots back there. I could throw all of them out of the window and make 56 million people very happy.

I don't really have any sympathy for he/she/it bullett. He/She/It was warned, right?

I have Bullitt on DVD and it's the best movie ever made that involved a Mustang with broken lower control arms.

It's happened more than once. We're all guilty of it...........to what degree, is another thing. Semantics.

[flyin hawaiian]

Yeah that mustang that Steve McQueen drove is what my dog Bullitt is named after.

Wow, reference fail on my part. Sorry guys.
