A-logging -

[Ronichu]

Guys. Can we keep the a-logging down to just a dull background roar, please?

I know Chris has done some shitty things of late, and I was pretty surprised too, but recent threads are getting gummed up with way too many smilies and "the only way Chris can redeem himself is with death!" bullshit.

The smilie is not an excuse to a-log.

Fuck me.

I've been browsing this forum for a while, and, to me, people here use the "A-log" thing too much. Like whenever people mention something negative about Chris (Even if it's factually true), they always post "Not to A-log, but..." or something along those lines.

But, that's just me.

Hi Anna!

Most people are just saying it sarcastically but I guess it doesn't really add anything of value to the discussion.
Plus the emoticon looks cool.

just think of as "i'm just kidding"

i think what is more "a-loggish" are the threads relating something personal of the poster to something wrong with chris. because it always ends up sounding like or outright becoming "i'm better than chris" threads.


also, i think this topic is for the "cwcki forums" forum as it does not relate directly to chris.

Maybe. Probably.

You can criticise Chris, it's just that yeah. I'm seeing a lot of stupid alog bullshit and it's not funny or insightful, it's just annoying.

I've seen it too.
People say things like, "Not to A-log but Chris is lazy and has no job"
It ain't A-logging if its true

Wishing death upon him, comparing him to Hitler, etc now that's another matter.

Anytime you see me being overtly belligerent you can rest assured I'm just trying to be funny. Trying =/= succeeding I realize. I'll lay off.

I get what Ronichu is saying and I do agree that it's a problem and that people should tone it down.

I think the problem is that some people have a very narrow view of what constitutes A-Logging. A-Logging isn't limited to just wanting him dead or thinking he's worse than Hitler. There's the other extreme, where if you were to go to PVCC and /cow/ and say something like "Gee, I think Chris is a bit overweight" that would be considered A-Logging. Most A-Logging happens between these extremes though.

A-Logging is really just taking Chris too seriously and being offended by him. I think if you're referring to Chris as a "subhuman scum" or "a fat piece of shit" that's definitely A-Logging. It's having such a low opinion of him and being personally offended by the things that he does. Yeah, Chris isn't an ideal model of humanity but for the most part, he's just an idiot. Relax, just laugh and enjoy the show.

You don't have to like Chris, I don't think saying something like "I think Chris is fat" or "Chris seems a bit narcissistic" is A-Logging but it's not strictly "Chris gives autistics like me a bad name and deserves to die." It's often more subtle than that and people need to be more mindful and likewise, I think the mods and admins need to be a bit more vigilant about nipping it in the bud.

This is why I don't browse the Chris forum often.

This is why I don't browse the Chris forum often.

I don't either, but it's mostly due to all of those Facebook updates.

BTW, I'm pretty sure A-Logging isn't just limited to Chris either. I've been in the Lolcow general forum and have seen (often justified) insults against Wizards, Loveshies, Bronies, the Irate Gamer and others. So it's not just limited to Chris, well from what I've read that is.

A-logging is common in the Chris community. Got to take the bad with the good I suppose.

 

[milkshark]

When you A-Log about Chris' behavior, you sometimes send a negative message to others about yourself. People who A-Log about Chris being a welfare mooch come off like they're jealous of Chris not needing to work for a living. People who A-Log about Chris' Sweetheart Search sound like they're bitter single people who've already accepted that they're unfit for a relationship. A lot of times people get on their soapbox and lecture Chris and all they seem like is a preachy know-it-all.

Trying to "knock some sense" into Chris is like voting for a 3rd party candidate: It won't get you anywhere and you'll look dumb for doing it later. Look at Mary Lee Walsh, she tore up Chris' property and coldly told him he'll be forever alone. I'm not at all surprised that Chris thinks being a piece of shit is normal human interaction, because people like Ms. Walsh were just effortlessly shitty to him when they became upset. The way I see it, there's no need to lower yourself to Chris' level. Be better than him. He needs examples to follow that aren't 13 year old ween kids.

I totally agree about this. I am tired of people being bitter about Chris. Not to say that I like Chris at all, but I am baffled about why people would be offended by him. Or why they are choosing an autistic retard to make themselves feel better.

Look at all the thread basically saying "Chris gives people on disability a bad name". Or things saying "I'm so normal compared to Chris".

Ok, we all get it, Chris sucks. But taking out your insecurities on an autistic manchild really doesn't help your case either.

When I about Chris its done obviously tongue in cheek, I don't actually have any anger towards him, he's just a dumb/funny guy on the internet. Now ZooJay or Nick Bate on the other hand, I will admit, I have been guilty of getting maybe too angry with, for the forum, zoojay in particular.

 

[Night Terror]

The more you use, the less serious you're being
I'm more annoyed by people who say SORRY FOR A-GOGGLING when they're just saying Chris is an idiot, or Chris is lazy
That's not A-logging, chill out

 

[ChaosAkita]

Yup, a-logging is funny when it's being done ~ironically~ right.

 

[Stuff and Things]

DIE CHRIS!!
