How Many Planeteers Does it Take to Derail a Thread?

And! I've read the TOS backwards and forwards at midnight with a fine-toothed comb. There is nothing in there about lightbulbs which makes me think that the Admins of this so-called Planet may be closet lightbulbphobes themselves.

So now I'm not sure if I'm safe even talking about lightbulbs.

But because this matters to me, I'm saying this. I suppose I'll be banned for this so goodbye to those of you who ever really gave a Sh!t about lightbulbs.


Grin.

Thank you for your thoughtful post Arwen.

i must say.... Wait, first i must say this before i must say that which i was about to first say: this is coming from my me place and i really hope i don't offend any light bulbous types with my personal opinions that come only from my me place because i am not trying to pretend i know what it is like to be any bulb but the bulb i am because obviously i can only be my own light source and i have never been any other bulbous and so i wouldn't know the path that they light. Because it isn't my path to light. It's theirs. Not mine.

Having said that, i must say that your post has made me reflect on my bulbous privilege. and so now, i must apologize because i did not realize how special i am. i am sorry for being such a special lil bulb, and i promise to always keep the question mark inside my bulb lit brightly with a spotlight (if it is welcome here....is a spotlight welcome here?) so that others may know that i am reflecting upon my bulbousness.

The thought is overwhelming....i will be reporting your post. Perhaps you should take a minute to reflect upon how other bulbs could be shattered for life after viewing that horrid picture.

i am sure it is one of my ancestors...i need to hide under a shade now and try to process. i will never ever come back into this thread. Ever. Never. Do not try to talk me out of this decision, because it wont work.

i mean it. i'm not coming back. i'm really not.

Really.

Now this is my kind of lightbulb:

I also want to voice my objection to this photo:

[Curley]

Has anyone noticed the OP has had very little to say? I think hy is an imposter,,just trying to stir up shit between us and the bulbs

[Scorp]

Now look everyone, show some damn respect!

[ravfem]

quietly checking to see if anyone has begged me to come back yet....

Why must everything come back to size??? I am not now, nor have I ever been a "lil bulb." I am a big, beautiful bulb...and I am proud of it. I no longer have time, space or energy for sockets that aren't strong enough or have enough character to partner with me...a big beautiful bulbous bulb!

I don't know either. But I'd hazzard a guess as to which are female-identified and which are male-identified.

Da 's got bulb-identity intuition like that!

[adorable]

[QUOTE=BullDog;133251]Look Arwen, do you even identify as a Socket? I thought you were a LOC-sensual LightbulbGoddess? Why are you always speaking for Sockets?

We have entire websites devoted to Sockets. The whole damn world revolves around Sockets. As long as Sockets feel a connection in some way with the lightbulb dynamic sure they can be here. I am all for inclusion and everything but this is practically the only place on earth (well I mean the internet) where lightbulbs/lytebulbs/lightboibs and those who love us can come together and just be ourselves and celebrate being bulbs in all of our bulbversity!

In Solidarity,

BulbDog

Are you claiming that the world and the internet are not the same thing? Because that is how I am reading what you wrote. That is disturbing to me. The internet IS the world to some of us bulbousdogus. And I don't appreciate you minimizing MY community with outlandish west coast bulbisms. Again, it seems very "west coast centric" to me.

With all due respect, JustJo, i cannot speak to this because it is not my me space it is your me space and so i cannot comment. But thank you for the comment. i see your bulbousness, and i honor it.

However, i feel hurt and dismissed now because you are not appreciative of my embracing me being a special lil bulb. If you would please go back and actually take the time to read my post i stated i was a "special lil bulb", which is 100% different than just a "lil bulb". Maybe if you took a minute out of your oh so precious bulbous bulby bulb space, you could see that not everyone is the same. Do not try to pretend you know what my me space of being a special lil bulb is like because you do not.

i will be reporting your post as being out to get me because you're just insanely jealous that you aren't a "special lil bulb" you are only a bulb. So....i hope someone sticks a bobby pin in the socket you prefer. Stop thread stalking me.

i am done. DONE. i will NOT be back!! EVER.

So there.

Dear ravfem,

On reflection, I totally and completely see where I overlooked the word "special" in your "special lil bulb" description of your lovely bulbous self. Please forgive the oversight.

HOWEVER (and yes, I know that's shouting...but I know that your filament can be a bit thick at times)...I resent that you do not also appreciate my own specialness. I am not "only" a bulb as you so callously put it...I am a big beautiful bulbous bulb...and I know my own worth.

AND...I am not thread-stalking you. I merely thanked you for that chocolatey deliciousness you posted. I can see now that was a mistake. A mistake! And there is no need for you to storm out of here all lit up...because I am leaving...YES...me. I am. Don't even ASK me to come back...because I won't. Period.

You and I both know that this entire dialogue started back on the dash site...when you were trying to "stick a bobby pin" as you sooooo innocently put it ...into MY socket. Well...we are just fine, my socket and I...and I hope you know it!

Ravfem please don't go!! Your voice matters here. Not really to me, but to other bulbs I'm sure. Unless you agree with me, in which case, well then I REALLY want you here. But seriously, if you don't agree with me, by all means - keep it moving....

Look here Ms Bulbblubby,

i hope you are at least bright enough to see that you are shining a big ole spotlight on your filamentphobia. Light up much??

The entire world knows that it was YOU who tried to poke your VERY bulbous bulb in MY socket even though i TRIED to enlighten your tired ass bulb even way back then that i prefer to be around BRIGHT bulbs, not DIM ones but nooooooooooooooo you just had to keep on lighting up about the whole mess. So, since YOU brought it up again, FINE. Bring it bulb! i ain't scared of your dimness.

ETA (even though i didn't *really* come back to edit it, because i am adding it as i write): i do not have anything against dim bulbs, just fyi. The world needs dim bulbs to help us special lil bulbs appreciate ourselves even more than we do. And i understand that i cannot speak from their me place cause it's not my me place it's their me place. i am not trying to pretend to know what it must feel like to be just a bulb.

i am DONE. i can see i am not appreciated by you bulbs with your click on click offish ways. Fine. i wont bother coming back here again.

WARNING!! This is not for minors!!! EXPLICIT CONTENT!!!!

Bulbs get turned on in a variety of ways...
maybe someday everyone can respect that.

Some of us here don't go for bulbs. Some, I for one, enjoy spending time in candle light.. Now, I will admit, I may be a little biased.. I have been burned by more then one sweet looking bulb.. It's always the same with them.. They come all cushined up in that lil box, looking all clear and full of potiential (that's another thing.. frosted bulb? EWW! They smell, you know..), I screw the bulb into my socket and it's all fine and dandy until one day, out of the blue, I flip the switch and she's gone. No note, no text, NOTHING!

I've never been let down by a candle.. Plus, candles are just plain HOT!

OK, that's all.. I'm sure that I'll get flamed for this, but I don't care.. My love for candles deserves space too!

-Tony, candle lover.

Look Adorable, if you went on enough self-emposed, 30 second exiles from cyberspace the way I do you'd know the difference between the real world and Internet!

The real world is completely different. No one talks like this out in the real world and lightbulbs don't "identify" as lightbulbs, they are lightbulbs. Lightbulbs are transparent (or brightly colored/etc) not "transparent" ("or brightly colored/etc") just to make themselves into the spotlight. The bulbs just live their real lives shining brightly instead of all of this online bs, divisive crap.

It also rains a lot more out here (*owning* my PNW centrism).
