blathercriticisms miniver This is the fruit. Blathercondemnation, blatherdisrespect, blathersneer, blatheradmonition, blatherdepreciation, blatherdisparagement, blatherblame, blathermeanness, blatherslapintheface, blatherpokeintheeyeball, blatherhardkicktotheshin. Harder to do, though. I don't know if I can do it (I'm Canadian). Self-criticisms don't count, either. Too easy. Too vain. They belong in blathervanity you sulky little twits. Oh, yes. 000903 ... miniver I have my own skeptical little ideas/judgements/arrogant conclusions about most of you 'regular' blathers. That's what I'm getting at, here, I guess. So, I'm considering just laying them out, here. But, this is a somewhat unnatural act, and I'm considering that too. It could be I want to experiment in honesty. It could be I want to experiment in honesty for less-than-honest reasons...and that might taint the experiment. It could be I'm experimenting in something else altogether, and I really need to consider the micro- and macro-universal ramifications. I can't believe that all of your little blatherminds are chocked full blathercompliments and lace, though. 000904 ... splinken sounds like a fun game. heh heh. here we go... 000904 ... klairchen I'm up to it if you are! Oh, yes! 000904 ... miniver Umm. "You're it!" Aha. I don't have to go first, do I? Erf... 000904 ... miniver Okay, I'm really going to do it, guys. Think what you will of me. Shun me. Or be oblivious; don't care; or just ignore my little blatherreality. No particular order, of course...and gimme some time, I'm seriously putting consideration into these (you can tell). The experiment begins. 000904 ... miniver klarchen/klairchen: Needy. Seeking comfort/praise/acknowledgement with every post, particularly from the male population of blather. Reminds me of those "Oh, I'm so fat!" girls back in junior high -- the ones who say it just to have people tell them they're not. Also, the cutesy-stuff seems forced, much of the time. 000904 ... miniver Schlieffen: I'm leaning toward compensatory-narcissistic. "Overtly narcissistic behaviors [that] derive from an underlying sense of insecurity and weakness rather than from genuine feelings of self-confidence and high self-esteem . . . has a tendency to exaggerate and boast . . . covers up a sense of inadequacy and deficiency with pseudo-arrogance and pseudo-grandiosity" (Millon) Irritatingly boastful, anyway (however it is to be explained). I've been reading up on personality types lately. He's not so bad lately, though. 000904 ... miniver Typhoid: Has anyone read Sartre's Nausea? It comments on the so-called "active" man. The man who decides he's going to make his life all about 'adventures', and 'consuming experiences'. In Nausea, the character Roquentin finds that 'there are no adventures'. "He bases this on the logic that adventures are stories, and 'one does not live a story.' It is an established act which acquires the defining meaning of adventure in terms of its conclusion; hence one is forced to live one's experiences only through the relating of an event, rather than through the very act of living it. Roquentin faces the disillusionment of the present: if one can only tell of life after having lived it, then one is forced to do one or the other: 'one can either live or tell; not both at once.'" (Hawa) Typhoids trying to be both, and I think he wants us to acknowledge the adventurousness that he proposes to have in his blathes. Somewhat pitiably understandable (from way up here on my strange and excessive pedestal, at least). The literate creativity does make the process much more subtle, though. Extra points for that, I suppose. 000904 ... miniver More arrogant assumptions of miniver coming soon on such blathers as: Molly/splinken, Amy, Q . . . Maybe more, if I find anything/anyone particularly irritating. Hohum. Hum. Hmm... 000904 ... klairchen Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. And that's all I have or will ever say about this previous post. Tsk, tsk. Oh yes, and sigh. 000904 ... ducky Oh yes, and hmnf. 000904 ... silentbob wow no one said anything about me 000904 ... ? Miniver, for the time it took you to type all of those posts, you could have done something useful, like water plants or organize a cutlery drawer. 000904 ... miniver Splinken: She's pretty straightforward. Well, there could have been something out of that whole "chatroom" thing. But, I think we each realized what the other was up to, maybe. Nothing consistently or definably irritable really showed up, there. Naturally, I remain suspicious until satisfactory blathercriticisms can be found. Amy: I wouldn't have had anything, really. Except for the love_and_power and respect_and_expression incident. Then I was, like, 'Whoa! Time to recalculate.' As we know, I have no problems with conflict, itself. But, I do seem to have issues with really blatant, and what seems to me unnecessary (whether or not I am cognizant of all the details), rudeness. I'm going to hold off on my final conclusion/assumption, though (well, none of these conclusions are really final)...so far it's just this one isolated incident. But, I am sensing a bit of a control-seeking tendancy. Q: Obviously likes to hear himself speak -- or, eh...watch himself type. Melodramatic. Sentimental. Romantically obsessive and/or clingy. Of course, as it goes with personality traits, these aren't necessarily bad things. But they seem a little too forced, as well -- saccharine, even. Mostly, I just don't appreciate emotional excess. Oh, and I forgot to mention upcoming Birdmad and Brad blathercriticisms. I've had opinions on those two for a while, now. 000904 ... the ghost of blather past Two men enter, one man leaves! His name was Robert Paulson. I wouldn't do that if I were you, there are a shortage of perfect breasts in the world. T'would be a pity to damage yours. I am Jack's cold sweat. 000905 ... Joana. It's wrong to judge someone without having met him or her fully... and I must say that it's nearly impossible to really get into the soul of someone through some silly blathes. So everything that miniver presumes of people is senseless and rather futile... and destructive criticism does not really get us anywhere. Anything can be said about me and whatever I display through here that it will never be the accurate analysis of my being... no one knows my past, present or future except maybe for Q [who, by the way, I must write soon ;-)]. Anyway, I'm back, since I abandoned this site about two weeks ago... it's nice to see how polemic this place still insists on being... it puts the neurons numbed by overload of emotions back into action ;-) 000905 ... fortwoitis there is suppose an entry from Joana here, but maybe it just hasn't shown up yet. Testy little machines these com-puters. 000905 ... fortwoitis there it is! 000905 ... miniver Your moralistic platitudes are an interestingly ridiculous phenomenon in their own right, Joanna (and, in fact, readily, I would include such behavior among my blathercriticisms -- or is that what I just did?), but thankfully, we do not live in a self-help-book reality, and they remain platitudes. If you’re defining “judgements” as forming any sort of opinion (whether good or bad) about anything – which certainly seems to be your definition --, then not only is it NOT “wrong to judge someone without having met him or her fully”, but it’s also exactly the way our minds work. If we had to compile all possible relevant information regarding anything or anyone about whom we wanted to make a judgement (syn. “FORM ANY OPINION”), no opinions would ever be formed. Now, if you’re defining “judgements” as forming some sort Christianized determination of which human beings shall be sent to heaven and which condemned to hell (or that sort of condemnation); although, I would disagree that you, as with any one individual, are to say what is absolutely right/wrong – I would venture to say that such flippant condemnation might be a little prejudiced and indeed not very fair at all. That being said, my blathercriticisms are not condemning anyone to anything. I like all the crazy blatherkids I am criticizing. But that hasn’t stopped me from forming my not-so-complimentary opinions about them. Nothing is going to stop me from forming my opinions – the ‘complimentary’ ones and the ‘not so complimentary’ ones...about everyone and everything and everything else. And neither am I going to try to repress and ignore them, nor pretend that they don’t exist. That’s what this little experiment was about in the first place, and, as with most of my little personality experiments, I’m glad for any/all results. But, I tell ya; be aware. “Blathercriticisms” are just what the name says they are. Read it. Read it again. The dictionary’s first definition of judgement is: “the formation of an opinion after consideration or deliberation.” And, with this in mind, I proudly acknowledge that I have formed such judgements – even, aha! without knowing those people whom I would judge. “It's nearly impossible to really get into the soul of someone through some silly blathes”. I’m not trying to get into anyone’s soul. (In fact, I add the notion of ethereal “souls” to your growing reportoire of platitudes...but that is quite another debate). I’m not aiming to condemn anyone’s “being” (as you put it). These aren’t yourentirebeingcriticisms, or lifecriticisms, or soulcriticisms. They’re blathercriticisms. Of course, one could argue the existence of a blathersoul, I suppose. Aha. This is still criticism, though, you are correct. I'm not so convinced it's as destructive as it first appears, however...which were the hypothesis here being tested, even as I type. I think that’s all, anyway. Hah. I love this stuff. 000905 ... the ghost of blather future all hail miniver! 000905 ... miniver Birdmad: Similar to Typhoid in the need to convince us of his adventurousness. I am of the opinion that Birdmad's stories consist of much more fabrication, however. Or, if not outright fabrication, just really cloying exaggeration and indirectly (perhaps inadvertently) self-serving idealization. Also, VERY obviously needing to belong -- moreso than Klairchen, even, I think. I'd say a Dependant pathological inclination: "has difficulty making everyday decisions without an excessive amount of advice and reassurance from others . . . goes to excessive lengths to obtain nurturance and support from others". 000905 ... silentbob fortwoitis: see blatherheadache Miniver: while i think it is quasi appropriate to have the antithisis (sp?) of blather_compliments, as long as there IS a blather_compliments you can't have just one thing, i wonder if you arent taking this just a bit too far. while criticism is important in everyday life, you can't always be recieving good news, etc...i think what this is, is just outright blatherbashing. you're just maliciously hurting people. and here is my blathercriticism for you: having never met you in real life i say you are the kind of person who needs to put down other people to make himself feel better about himself. there. it may not be true, thats just how it seems to me. so how do you feel? 000905 ... middle finger mad i'll_pick_my_own_scabs_thank_you_very_much 000905 ... miniver Brad: Actually, I guess the only thing I really had in mind was the whole music-snob thing. Offensive self-satisfied superiority. But, he's actually pretty openly recognized and admitted to that quality. So, I dunno, that stops me from really have too much of a problem, there. 000906 ... jennifer ummm? 000906 ... miniver I think that's it. Those are the people that sorta stood out in my mind, mmhmm -- for many reasons. (Oh, my!) 000906 ... miniver Yeah, bob. I've been thinking about the 'meanness' aspect, too. I'm wondering if I'm not doing this just to be mean, for some reason. That's sorta what I meant when I was considering whether this so-called "honesty experiment" was for "less than honest reasons". I am sure there exists a much more appropriate, thought-out, considerate, and less contrived way of performing this experiment. But, nah, it didn't really make me feel good -- not the whole 'putting-down' part. But, the pushing forward and experimenting part, definitely -- even if just a mechanistic, self-deluded, self-righteous contrivance. Nope. No, I don't think I'm really particularly malicious. I'd probably be prepared to experiment in maliciousness, though, if that says anything... 000907 ... The Schleiffen Man maliciousness, criticism The Jedi crave not these things 000907 ... Q okay, i won't bring up the Nazi doctors who were really into experimenting with people 000907 ... Brad I actually think that was rather fun. I must say I was surprised my transgressions were so minor! 000907 ... The Schleiffen Man I'm not surprised at all that I was seen that way. But I'm sure she'd change her mind if she really knew me *wink to splinken* 000908 ... miniver I sorta ran out of energy by the time I got to you, Brad, I think. I feel bad about that. I could rant alot more about the self-aggrandizing obtuseness of your musical elitism. I could argue about the subjectivity -- or maybe relativity, if I had even more energy -- of the proposition of definable musical (or just generally 'artistic') 'genious'. Or, without even getting into those particular abstractions, I could just argue about the obvious and sensible value of pretty much every and all music in existence, REGARDLESS of any analyzable ingeniousness, or any particular group or person's analysis of that possible ingeniousness. But, you know,...whatever. I think I'm onto 'subtlety' now. Subtlety could be more fundamental than actual control. I'm considering that. 000914 ... kendra was it all really worth it? does it all still stand to be true? 001128 ... miniver Yep. I was sorta worried that it would make people think I was mean or something. So, I wanted to test myself a little. But, mostly I just thought it would be interesting. And it was. Otherwise, I am kinda bored. Except to elevate Rhin and Barrett to being Among the Criticized. Rhin and Barrett are really annoying, with all of that flirting, chatting, sex_talk crap. They suck (temporarily, at least). And I guess that's all I have to say about that. It's too exhausting to be detailed, sometimes. 001130 ... The Attorney for the Accused Says You! And whoever else says it too! 001130 ... Rhin Miniver, I sincerely apologize to you, and to everyone else... 001130 ... Rhin (pre-emptive strike) My deepest apologies everyone, for the second time, in as many days. I know! I know! I know! Damnit! I asked for it, and have never felt so humiliated. I'm self-initiating the walk to detention... 001202 ... god relax hon. it's only entertainment. 001202 ... god besides, if it weren't meant to be, it wouldn't have happened. 001202 ... lovers lament a criticism of miniver: a self-inflated ego. comes off sounding intelligent without actually being so. seems to derive some sort of insane pleasure from being cruel. acts as if it is a duty to tell people that "they suck", and he acts like he doesn't like telling people his opinion. (but, of course, continues to do so anyways). all in all, miniver, you strike me as a spiteful, conceited prick. to state that you get no enjoyment from your criticism of others, to me, seems a blatant lie. 001204 ... klairkendra oh, i just have a small little correction to make before the judgemental miniver gets to it. miniver is a her. and her bark is louder than her bite. that may or may not be a critisism of her. 001204 ... lovers lament *her* sorry, i don't know why, she just struck me as having male tendencies. 001204 ... klairkendra ha, you are the last person who should say *sorry*. 001204 ... splinken what is a male tendency? directness? calculation? i take exception to that. 001204 ... kent I'd say she has catty tendencies 001204 ... anti miniver self_inflated_miniver 001204 ... poophead i would just like to say that i dont think miniver did anything wrong.. im sure that all of you have read things that people wrote and thought derogatory things about that person, yet didnt say them cuz you were afraid/ confused/ shy/ or lazy. i know i have thought many bad things about many people on blather yet didnt have enough guts to expose my feelings. i believe that half of you are either jealous cuz you didnt think of it first/ pissed off cuz he forced the truth upon you/ or scared that he might expose you next. the other half of you are just stupid or going along with the crowd. miniver: i want to thank you for saving these people, if they would listen to you they could all be better people, but they wont listen to you and take your criticism as advice which they should. 010728 ... Fire&Roses Do Me... 011001 ... TalviFatin How come no one picks on me? I'm beginning to feel left out...*tear* *sniffle* 011017 ... Norm you should! stupid! call someone stupid and in the same sentence speel a word wrong. worked for me 011017 ... Toxic_Kisses You know, after reading this I rather like miniver. Although I could easily criticize myself (Narcissistic, selfish, boring bla bla bla) it's kinda nice when some one else takes out the time and thought to do it, but than again that’s most likely the narcissistic part of me speaking ^.^ 011017 ... User24 to be honest (hi Toxic) I think that ppl like miniver are great 4 blather, I'd love to have a total stranger rip apart my innermost feelings (I know that sounds sarcastic, but it's not, really) It gives a great insight into how you're perceived. 020402 ... pushpins yummychuckle has this adolescent cliched need for attention, and bends at will to conform to what she beleives others think is acceptable. her fear of rejection stops her from actually sounding intelligent, and instead rubs off as annoying and messy (minded). oh theres a lot more, but I'm already over this. 020402 ... User24 yeah, yummy does get to you after a while, see my_last_blathe goodbye_blather and probally a hundred others that are just round the corner with the random link. I though yummy had a new name, (see yummychuckles_new_name ) 020514 ... pralines&cream i believe that yummychuckle has more than 1 alias ... 020515 ... phil oh my god, did I just throw up in here 020515 ... squint is fine with being yummychuckle but it real oh my god did i see people caring that i tried to ditch my old name so as to be forgotten? yes. (fuck off) 020515 ... squint squinting the name said a lot more, but fuck it all to hell. 020515 ... Syrope its fun to carry on a conversation with someone where after everything they say you sneer "that's what you think!"...sometimes i want to post that in blather at just random spots, but people would think it was a criticism 020611 ... Dafremen God is a wanker. One of the best I´ve seen, in fact. My breath smells better on blather than in person. Daxle´s Gemini mind/emotion wanderings are making me dizzy and I´ve decided to keep her close because I´m not sure which camp she falls into, friend or enemy. Close is safe either way or anywhere in the middle. Paste! never responds and as he´s no doubt discovered, that´s my friggin Achille´s heel. Yummychuckle doesn´t use the alias StickyPants anymore and it was twice as charming a name as Yummychuckle. Oh and I think she´s getting more of a kick out of playing the part (yea, probably based on a true story) of attention starved twit than most of us would guess. Florescent Light is lurking and damned if that doesn´t make my job twice as hard. At least unhinged pops her head above the surface once in awhile to grin or grimace. Florescent must have scuba gear on and I miss the warm-to-cool glow, made being an entertainer much easier. I´m still waiting for SOME frigging response to the fact that I swallowed my pride and put my voice out on the internet, singing a capella no less. Yeesh! Baby_Satan has flown the coop and I´m getting tire of Sockroda Poppers. See also: Baby_Satan's_snack_tips Not a single fat person has emailed for positive reinforcement or good news on their weight loss, which leads me to believe that they´re still sitting on their asses stuffing their faces and reading this sh*t.

Dafremen Ok dax, so THAT is why Gems have a reputation for being eloquent beyond words, with nothing substantive coming of said eloquence. Like the magic of an illusionist, satisfying and yet leaving one just as emptyheaded and empty-handed as before the show. Was that a criticism? Or was that a compliment here on blathercriticisms¿ Hmm... 020611 ... blue star it's also very general. but who's counting? I didn't ask to be criticized specifically I guess... and I didn't ask ot be clearly criticized... of course if anyone would like to rip me open and spit on my still-beating heart it would be more than welcome. 020611 ... daxle point proven I just looked at your blathers and told you what they lead me to believe about you by being more specific I'd probably guess something wrong whereas I'm relatively sure about what I said 020611 ... Soulbird I prefer to compliment rather than critisize much more healthy and positive.Although some of us needs to be knocked down a few pegs. Right miniver??Me thinks u been reading too many Freud books and self help books,seems u thinks u are the official pshychiatrist here with your big worded analysizing critisism of everyone.Wow dont u feel superior? I envy you i couldnt act so bluntly mean to everyone and still feel good about myself......anyways just some insight for you on how I perceive you :) btw i even read all of your long winded critisism's of everyone..to put so much time into bieng so nasty, wow u must really hate yourself to try to make yourself feel better by putting down others like that..u must be godlike to be so perfect yourself :) anyways just a brainfart for ya ;) 020611 ... silentbob yeah. that was like a fecking year or so ago. i dont think miniver even blathers that much anymore. 020611 ... blue star Thanks for caring enough to make the effort, dax. Or even thank you for being bored enough to pay attention to me. 020612 ... blue star I just realized how odd that sounds. but I meant it. 020612 ... Dafremen Gawd...why is it that I missed this miniver character? Damnit! I´m intrigued! Oh miniver...ohhh miniver...come out come out wherever you are...and ANALYZE me! Please please please!

O_A once_again She too obsequious, she blathers on alot about incomprehensible things. Obviously knows something about the world, but acts like a whiney child. She leaves her milk glass in the sink and doesn't rinse it. Is obviously an over or under opinionated person but does not ever state an opinion or lack of one. Comes off as look at me sort of person crying for attention. Doesn't know her own mind, or fold her clothes properly. Wears wrinkled shirts. Is a dick tease and a bitch. once_again is a generally unfuckwitted, disgustingly generous, dribbling child. 031005 ... look at the names silly. Do me! do me! Wait... people would actually have to read what i write to critize it. There! Do that! lol. I want someone to be mean to me. Look under souless_wanderer soulesswanderer souless wanderer SW.
