The game is simple: we’ll give you a name, you choose if it’s a skin disease or a character from the realm of Dungeons and Dragons. Get all 16 right and you’re qualified to be either a dermatologist or a dungeon master, so pretty much all doors are open.

1) There’s no need to shout. Please disable caps lock.
2) What sort of business? WordPress.com blogs are non-commercial.
3) If you need technical help, could you specify what’s giving you trouble?
4) What’s your url, starting with http:/ ?

satelitetvonpc-amy.blogspot

YOU WILL HAVE TO GO SOMEWHERE ELSE FOR HELP. WE CANNOT HELP YOU. I AM NOT BEING RUDE, I AM SIMPLY INFORMING YOU THAT WE DO NOT HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE YOU SEEK.
If I wanted to be rude, I could say something else entirely. Don’t tempt me.
DONT TEMPT ME GEESH WHAT IS THAT A THREAT? APPERENTLY YOU HAVE MORE KNOWLEGE THAN I DO ABOUT COMPUTERS…SO ALL I WAS ASKING IS FOR SOME HELP…SOMEONE TO TELL ME WHAT THE BLOGGING THING IS ABOUT OR SOME DAMN THING ABOUT THAT…I WAS NOT ASKING FOR SOMEONE TO GET INTO TROUBLE FOR DOING SOMETHING THEY ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO SO DONT BE A JERK TO ME I ASSIMPLY ASKING FOR HELP ON ANYTHING THAT I CAN BE GIVEN HELP FOR….SO LIKE I SAID DONT BE A JERK CAUSE I WOULD HATE TO CAUSE YOU MORE TROUBLE :) IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN….
Welcome to the internet. What, exactly, do you intend to do to me and why should I fear consequences from someone so utterly brain-dead as to be unable to operate a keyboard, an obvious scam business, or a brain, however broken-in?
WELL FORONE I WILL WRITE THE COMPANY ABOUT YOUR RUDENESS AND SEE WHAT I CAN DO ABOUT HAVING YOU BANNED….WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM ANYWAYS? IS THIS HOW YOU TREAT EVERYONE THAT ASKS FOR SOME KIND OF FUCKING HELP? AND JUST BECAUSE I SAID YOU WERE MORE COMPUTER SMART THAN I AM YOU ARE GOING TO PUT ME DOWN FOR IT? IS THERE SOMEONE ELSE OUT THERE THAT CAN SEE HOW DISTURBED THIS IDIOT IS? WHAT DID I DO TO YOU THAT MADE YOU THINK YOU HAVE TO TREAT ME THIS WAY JUST BECAUSE I ASKED FOR SOME FUCKING HELP??
BECAUSE I THOUGHT I COULD BLOG HERE TO AND WANTED TO TRY IT BUT FIRST YOU CLEARED THAT FOR ME ELLA SO I ERASED WHAT I WAS TRYING BECAUSE I DID NOT KNOW I COULD NOT DO THAT IN HERE…I THOUGHT BEING ABLE TO POST ANYWERE WAS OK…I DONT KNOW MUCH ABOUT COMPUTERS AND THE PROGRAMS ON HERE THATS WHY I AM ONLY ASKING …. WHY IS THAT SO HARD FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND?
I only treat really, really stupid, stubborn, abusive people this way. When volunteers in the technical forum answer questions politely and people find the answer is not what they want to hear, reasonable people don’t conclude that the messenger is rude. They simply get on with making their hot, steaming piles of money from their rebate-processing MLMs and get over it.
You make threats, you call people names, you get treated badly. Did you not learn that in kindergarten?
WHO MADE THREATS? WHO WAS CALLOING NAMES? WHO WAS TREATING PEOPLE BAD? YOU DID NOT ANSWER POLITELY EITHER SO I DONT KNOW WHO YOUR TRYING TO KID AROUND…
WELL IF MY SON DID NOT SPILL MILK ON THE KEYBOARD THIS MORNING THEN I WOULD NOT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE CAPS STICKING…MY HUSBAND IS BRINGING ME A NEW ONE HOME…SO IM SORRY THAT YOU FOR SOME REASON HAVE TO THINK THAT MY ASKING FOR HELP WAS IN THE WRONG BECAUSE I THOUGHT THATS WHAT YOU DO HERE BUT WHAT HAVE I EVER DONE TO ANY OF YOU THAT WOULD MAKE YOU TREAT SOMEONE LIKE SHIT JUST FOR ASKING FOR SOME HELP…SO WHAT I WANTED TO POST A BLOGG ON HERE WHY CANT PEOPLE HELP WITH THAT…I HAVE A PERSONAL LIFE AS WELL RATHER THAN JUST WORKING ONLINE…I DO HAVE A BLOGG IN ANOTHER PLACE SO WHAT…WHATS WRONG WITH WANTING TO TRY SOMETHING NEW?
Yes, why not go have that blog in the other place…or that personal life…because sooner or later it’s going to dawn on you that you’ve been YELLING AT US FOR SOME TIME AND WE TOLD YOU WE COULD NOT HELP AND YET YOU ARE STILL YELLING AT US.
If you can’t stop yelling because your keyboard is stuck, what is that to us when you start swearing and threatening? I don’t think your keyboard is stuck on “fucking”.
EXCUSE ME BUT YOU ARE THE ONE WHO STARTED THE RUDENESS…AND THE THREATS WITH (DONT TEMPT ME) I AM NOT AT ALL YELLING AT ANYONE…IF YOU WOULD READ UP I SAID I WAS SORRY THAT I WAS NOT YELLING….SO GROW UP
YOU KNOW I WISH I COULD RAIN….JUST CAUSE I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY KEYBOARD…I AM SORRY I WAS NOT TRYING TO BE RUDE IN ANYWAYS TO ANYONE…. I HAVE A FILTHY MOUTH?

homeworkermom: if you’re still reading this, i think you totally misunderstood everybody here. when raincoaster said
Not here. We aren't allowed to do what you're doing, and we're not using blogspot, so nobody here will be able to help you.
she was not being rude at all. first off, this is the wp.com forums, where most of us volunteers (we are not staff but volunteers who take time to help other bloggers out but only on wp.com blogs because we are using it and therefore most familiar with it) only have knowledge in wp.com blogs. you provided a blogspot blog, and we don’t use that, so rain’s point is that since we don’t use blogspot, we can’t help you.
i understand that you are trying to learn blogging, but when someone says they can’t help, it doesn’t mean they’re rude. it just means that they don’t have the right knowledge in the product you’re using.
also, i think that nobody is obligated to help you. if they refuse just go elsewhere and seek help. there are plenty of resources on the internet to help you start with blogging.
YOU MISSED OUT ON THE ACTION DIAMOND….SO FUCK YOURSELF AND THE BOAT YOU CAME IN ON….FOR SOMEONE THAT ASKED FOR SOME HELP YOU GUYS ARE A BUNCH OF FUCKED UP SCUMBAGS!
i
wonder when staff will close this thread. we have had enough drama and
follow-up here and it has too much inappropriate content to be a
support thread any longer and should be moved into off-topic.
No, first we will tell you what we’re going to tell you. Then we will tell you. Then we will tell you we’ve told you. I’ve been told that’s what to do.
Then, we will invoice you.
No, wait, that’s how it works in the corporatesphere, and the great part is, you get to bill for ALL of the above, plus the time you spend making shit up to talk about in the first place. But this is the Blogosphere, as differentiated from the Twittosphere. So, nobody is getting paid here.
Is this the point at which to mention that my canned Introduction to Social Media talk includes the song “Starfuckers, Incorporated?” Sure it is.
By the way, if I may be allowed to digress (and, since it is my own blog and raincoaster.com to boot it may truly be said that I am not only allowed to digress, but actually encouraged, nay, mandated to do so) and to name-drop as well (ditto, double) I would simply like to take this opportunity to mention that there is every indication and some considerable circumstantial evidence (moreso even than for the existence of fairies, of which we have written elsewhere at length) that this very website was visited by Trent Fucking Reznor. For realz.

Thank you. And now, back to our irregularly-scheduled blog post.
Drupal Camp Vancouver is nothing like Girl Guide Camp; for one thing the gender ratio is all wrong, and for another there are no s’mores. So, like, damn.
But once you get over that, it’s not so bad. First of all, it begins, as do all good things which don’t involve pubic lice, with a free drink ticket. In my case, because I am impecunious in the extreme and gifted with a sense of entitlement larger than the Grand Banks, it began with two, actually, because Dave is a self-declared old hippie and susceptible to the charms of a self-declared old goth such as myself, particularly if she’s heavy on the “just got through teaching blogging to the marginalized population of the Downtown Eastside” speil, which I am wont to do just about whenever I wont to, which is definitely when it will give me free drinks, which is something I always wont except possibly at breakfast and even then I might just wont to pour it into a handy Wellington boot and save it for later.
Tomorrow it continues (remember Drupal Camp? It’s a blog post about Drupal Camp) with me volunteering. I have been assured/assurances have been made unto me that there is no reason to turn my world upside-down by presenting myself in, like, the morning. Thank god; I’d thought for a second they were going to be unreasonable or something. So for tomorrow the plan is that I will show up at some point and try to be more useful than annoying, although those of you who know me are aware that it tends to be a wash, whatever the amplitude or volume in question.
And after Drupal Camp packs up its Pug tents and its GPS-ess and stainless steel travel mugs for the day, I am to assist at Code Sprint, an event which I have neither witnessed nor participated in, but I am prepared to wear a festive hat and consume mint juleps and shoot the second-place finisher if that is what it takes.
Come and “jam” with fellow creatives, both technical and non-technical, from 6pm to 9pm. There’s activities for right and left brainers, er, themers and coders, alike! The plan is for coders to focus on methods for adding mobile content and themers to focus on the creation of a mobile-friendly black-on-white theme. Don’t worry about your skill level, everyone can participate.
The Fearless Media Project facilitates community participation in the creation of media and community dialogue on issues relevant to people in the Downtown Eastside (DTES) of Vancouver.
Which brings us to Fearless City Media. Which I told Scott I would link to once that bloody SEO-slaughtering splash page was ripped pixel by pixel out of the cyberverse and thrown into the deepest pit of Hell, but what the hell, I lied: sue me. Fearless City is what I do with my Thursday nights, manifesting the promise of equality and emancipation implicit in the Digital Revolution and bridging the Digital Divide by leading a blogging workshop for some of the most marginalized people in North America. I do this in the back room of an art gallery which works with artists suffering from mental illness or the aftereffects of abuse, in a neighborhood where, according to Statistics Canada, the average life expectancy is 33 years, lower than any nation on Earth.
What did you do Thursday night?
Yes, even I find me insufferable sometimes. Still. What did you?
The purpose of the Fearless Media Project is to facilitate community participation in the creation of media and community dialogue on issues relevant to people in the Downtown Eastside (DTES) of Vancouver. This cultural initiative connects documented visions and practises with community priorities and goals. With oversight from the DTES Community Arts Network coordinating body (CANCore), Fearless functions as a portal to arts and culture in “the heart of the city.”
Fearless functions as a community arts initiative that prioritizes an inclusive process and involvement of people in media making. Context is central; this media is situated in more public, accessible and resonant places, geared to a specific audience and a specific time. Fearless is reflective of and responsive to the DTES community.
Fearless fosters engagement with the community by giving voice to the experiences of local people and amplifying their stories. The community-building dynamic happens in many ways: by providing access to resources and training people in media production; by bringing people together to address community issues and explore the rich culture of the Downtown Eastside; and by cultivating understanding through listening and dialogue.
And this video right here is what I tried (and failed…maybe Code Sprint will fix this?) to post on my Fearless City blog: The Adventures of Homeless James Bond, which I stole from The Homeless Guy, an American blogger who’s been blogging since before raincoaster was a twinkle in Cthulhu‘s third eye, posting from libraries and public computers all over his hometown.
The revolution is coming. And it will be Fabulous.
Class War in Blood Alley? And what happens to the losers?
