It's all about Rachael


5

Becky: Today we got a lovely little email from everyone’s favourite passive aggressive twit, Rachael. In that email, which we unfortunately cannot post, she expressed her concern about our “over-the-top” behavior concerning her. The email implied that Sarai and I have nothing better to do than sit here and talk about Rachael. Which you can see, from the many mentions of Rachael on all of our sites, is quite obviously true.

Sarai: Hang on I’m pulling up the Rachael archives as we speak… It’s taking a while, there’s so many.

Becky: Is it freezing up your computer again? Just a side note: that’s why Sarai’s laptop died, it couldn’t handle the Rachael archives.

Sarai: In the e-mail she tells us she’s sensitive and that maybe that is the reason why we continue on our current ways of… well, she didn’t mention but it’s gotta be bad. She wants us to all act in a civilized fashion.

Just this morning Becky and I were fighting about which one of us was going to make fun of her first. I won, just so you know.

Becky: Sarai beat me until I agreed to let her go first. And she made me hold her weave while she did it. So you see, Rachael, you’re not the only one getting abused around here.

Sarai: Definitely not. I wear the pants in this relationship. Speaking of pants, I’m pretty sure I have my new set of Rachael wallet pictures in the back pocket, brb.

Becky: Oh goody! Can you send me a few copies? I want to put them on my ceiling so the last thing I see at night is Rachael’s face. The poster I have up there of her is falling apart and needs to be replaced. Try finding a replacement Rachael poster these days, it’s so hard.

Sarai: I have some of those already, except it’s a poster. Limited edition, babies.

Oh shit, limited edition my ass! >:[

Becky: Would you be willing to help a sister out, Shanaynay?

Sarai: No fuck that. * clutches poster, strokes *

Becky: Okay fine. I see how it is. Keep the Rachael goods for yourself. FUCK YOU, ASSHOLE.

Sarai: BECKY BE CIVIL!

Becky: I would if you’d bloody well share your shit with me. Have you got the new limited edition Rachael doll? I have five.

Sarai: Fuck. I stood in line for those, too, you grabby goober
.
Becky: Grabby goober!? Fine, I was going to send you two and a half for your birthday, but forget it now! Ungrateful biotch.

Sarai: I’m pulling up our work schedule for today. Someone has to actually do work around here, you know.

Becky: You know what we need? An office bitch, where’s Brent?

Sarai: Itinerary

8am: Lulz
9am: Breakfast
10am: Make fun of Rachael
10:20am: Stroke poster
11am: Answer e-mails
12pm: Chew gum to put on Rachael shrine
12:05pm: Put gum on Rachael’s head
12:30pm: Lunch
1pm: Lulz some more
2pm: Practice how to be civil
2:10pm: Rachael cookie time

Brent off getting me some Rachael stickers and no, you can’t have him.

Becky: It’s my turn to chew the gum! Why can’t I have some Rachael stickers and Brent? I’ll trade you my limited edition Rachael shaped coffee mug and my box of untouched Rachael Cola. Pwetty pwease?

Sarai: Brent’s off limits. But I’ll trade my special edition stickers for your Cola, I never got a chance to try that. I bawled for two days.

Alright Becky take it from 2:30pm since that’s when I clock off. Long day.

Becky:

2:30 pm: Wait in Rachael’s bushes hoping to catch a glimpse of her.
5:15 pm: Go through Rachael’s garbage.
6:00 – 7:00 pm: Lulz at the eventful day.

I don’t work the night shift, sorry.

Sarai: No wonder we never get anything done around here.

Becky: If it weren’t for Rachael we’d be able to update IP three or four times a day. Feel free to send her hate mail for taking up all of our time.

Sarai: I was going to talk about our next Website Lulz but I need to finish my Rachael gum wrap bracelet and that takes too much time. :-(

Becky: I’m making myself a Rachael pop tab necklace with matching belt (it has cutouts of her face dangling from every pop tab).

Sarai: I’m naming my first kid Rachael. I don’t care if it’s a boy or girl.

Becky: OMG NO I AM.

Sarai: Fight me for it.

Becky: Okay, okay I can do this * turns on Rocky theme song *…. no, no that’s all wrong. * turns on “I’m Just A Kid” * AIGHT LET’S DO THIS THANG. SOMEONE BETTER HOLD MY WEAVE. HOLD IT NOW. BE CAREFUL WITH IT, IT COSTED ME 12 BUCKS.

Sarai: * gets vaseline * You’re going down, bitch.

Becky: Bring. It. On.

Sarai: * busts out Rachael boxing gloves * These cost me 3 bucks, so don’t scratch them too much. Custom made. * kisses them *

Becky: You’re gonna learn the most dangerous word in the history of languages is Pussybear.

Sarai: Start praying grabby goober!

Becky: I don’t pray! You’d better though, maybe go to church.

Sarai: Is that where I’ll learn to be civil?

Becky: I think so. * throws on Rachael workout shorts * I found them in the garbage. Weren’t we doing something?

Sarai: Those are a little snug on your ass, bb, I thought you was working out?

Becky: OH NO YOU DIDN’T. * kicks in groin *

Sarai: EY.

Becky: Did it hurt your balls? * pokes eye * YEAH, YEAH I’M QUEEN OF THE WORLD. COME GET SUM.

Sarai: You know what, let’s leave this little fight for later because one of my strings just slipped out on my glove here and I don’t want to risk any damage.

OW. THE FUCK WAS THAT FOR.

Becky: Okay fine, I have to go make Rachael cupcakes to eat later. We was fightin’ bbcakes.

Sarai: Are you making the ones with her face? Cause those were fucking delicious.

Becky: What the fuck do you think? OF COURSE I AM! You want some?

Sarai: OMG COME OVER.

Becky: Too bad, they’re mine.

Sarai: We can snuggle on my Rachael blanket and pop in some home movies I stole last week.

Becky: OMG

Sarai: WELL FINE BE LIKE THAT.

Becky: Okay I’m on my way. No I wanna see the home movies.

Sarai: Thought so. Maybe we should say something civilized before we leave.

Becky: Can we do that, is that allowed?

Sarai: Of course we can: Hi Rachael, we thought it’d be best to discuss this on IP. If you couldn’t tell this entry was very sarcastic, and a little outrageous, and that’s because your e-mail left us a little confused. You see, we don’t talk about you all the time. I just don’t have that kind of time. I certainly wouldn’t stalk you.

Becky: In fact the most we’ve talked about you is in the WPR you requested from us. If I were going to stalk someone, don’t you think I’d make it worthwhile? Like James Marsters, Michael Rosenbaum or Hugh Laurie. Oh man how I’d love to sit in their bushes.

Sarai: Exactly. On our last post I think you were mentioned once, and barely.

Becky: That mention was hardly mean and meant as a comical entry, because I had to block you from PM’ing me on Snark everytime you got butthurt. You made it into a big deal by telling us to be original and get our own ideas, you admitted to taking the “inspired by Rachael” bit seriously. Don’t blame us because you’re thick (and no, I don’t want those exams of yours, keep them to yourself).

This is a list of people we talk about on a regular basis. If your name is not on this list then assume we only talk about once in a while and probably not at all.

Sarai: You’re not the exception just because you’re in our “blogging circle”. We’ll treat you just like everyone else, that’s how it is. No one here gets special treatment, except Brent and that’s only because he’s special and gets us stuff. Sorry.

Becky you forgot TGO, we have a little e-crush on him. * blush *

Becky: Special as in rides the short bus. What? He thinks Spike looks nasty, he’s obviously insane. But yes, Brent is the only person who gets any sort of special treatment. (And special treatment means we just don’t beat him up once a week like we do everyone else, he pays us with his lunch money for that privilege.)

Oh! I can’t forget TGO who gave us a li’l mention der on his blog. I just hope he realised that we’re girls, after all he hates them, right? PFT.

The second I give someone preferential treatment is the day I turn in my Internet Police badge. I will never, ever stop exposing the stupidity of people just because someone doesn’t like it. Why, bcause I’m not a pussy. I’m a pussybear, there’s a difference.

Furthermore, if it bugs you that much then I have to wonder why you read our blog(s) and why you continue to comment and speak to us. We call it like we see and nothing more, nothing less. If you don’t like it then grow a pair and create an anti-IP site. Although I would recommend that you just stop coming here if it bugs you that much, honestly you’re quite the little glutton for punishment, eh?

Shanicka out.

Sarai: Don’t forget the popcorn.

Number of times we said Rachael: 25
Number of times we thought about Rachael: 2,325

Wow, how immature can you get?

Jessica · Dec 29, 12:57 PM · · Permalink

LOL.

All you two have proved with this is that you really do have nothing better to do than talk about me, so much so that it has apparently killed Sarai’s laptop.

Why can’t you post the contents of the email? All I did was politely ask you to leave me alone. That’s not preferential treatment, that’s called knowing when you’ve crossed a line.

You two are so dellusional… It’s ridiculous how you twist everything to make you look like the “good guys” and me look like the bad one. Maybe I could take this opportunity to clear a few things up.

1) I’ve not once PM’d you on Snark, Becky. I was going to PM you once (because when I think someone has a problem with me, I ask them about it privately), but you’d blocked me before then. So all this mention of “PM’ing you everytime I got butthurt” is a load of rubbish.

2) You offered to do a WPR for people because you thought that all the WPR’s these days were rubbish. You offered to show us “how it should really be done”, and I was curious to see if you could review my site like the reasonable adults you should be. There’s a difference between taking up an offer of a WPR and “oh please hate on me!”

3) The last entry where you “barely mentioned me”? Do you forget what you write? You actually gave me a whole award!

Clearly you don’t respond to emails, so let’s try this publicly (maybe it’ll sink in this time).

Whatever problem you have, leave me out of it. I am not this crazy person you make me out to be.

Regina · Dec 29, 02:29 PM · · Permalink

OK… now I’m officially weirded (whoa! it’s actually a word. Go me!) out.

Try as I might I don’t get this cold war of yours. On the one hand Rachael keeps getting offended by you over every stupid remark, and on the other hand you keep treating Rachael as if most of her words had some creepy double meaning.

I admit, I sucked at literary analysis in school, the only reason I impressed the English committee at the SATs was because I glared at them fiercely (so I guess I shanghaied them into this). Er… yeah my point is I can’t read between the lines, so I could very well be totally ignorant.

Bottom line: I don’t get it. Unless you secretly agreed to keep this going for the sake of entertaining our blogging circle.

P.S. Is there any way to bribe you to blog about my “bully”? (see Snarky Secrets) You’re free to insult me as well, just bully her too (more).
I’ll offer payment (just not in monetary form =D )

And that’s why you get “picked on”. Because you can’t decipher sarcasm. You don’t get it, do you: we don’t have to do anything. If I want to talk about you until I’m blue in the face I will. But we’re not, because we don’t care about you half as much as you claim we do. For fuck’s sake.

Sarai · Dec 29, 08:48 PM · · Permalink

You say you’re smart, but you can’t even get the most obvious of sarcasm. Did the Rachael posters, mug and limited edition cola not tip you off? This was almost completely sarcastic and only proves that we don’t talk about you all the time.

Why can’t you post the contents of the email? All I did was politely ask you to leave me alone. That’s not preferential treatment, that’s called knowing when you’ve crossed a line.

Without the authors permission it is illegal to post the email publicly.

You two are so dellusional… It’s ridiculous how you twist everything to make you look like the “good guys” and me look like the bad one. Maybe I could take this opportunity to clear a few things up.

Show us what we’ve twisted around. Please, show us. You emailed the both of us, even though I’ve expressed my dislike of you contacting me. You claimed that we do nothing but talk about you and that we are throwing “over-the-top” insults your way. We said it wasn’t true then joked around about how we “do” sit there and talk about you all day every day. We started the thing, and ended it, on a serious note (by saying we won’t give you special treatment).

1) I’ve not once PM’d you on Snark, Becky. I was going to PM you once (because when I think someone has a problem with me, I ask them about it privately), but you’d blocked me before then. So all this mention of “PM’ing you everytime I got butthurt” is a load of rubbish.

Yes you, you PM’d me once to ask me why can’t we be friends, why can’t we be friends. Then, when I didn’t reply quickly enough to one of your posts you posted another post about how you were going to PM me. That’s a little odd, wasn’t it? I mean given that it was only about fifteen or twenty minutes between the first post you made and the second when you declared your intentions of PM’ing me.

2) You offered to do a WPR for people because you thought that all the WPR’s these days were rubbish. You offered to show us “how it should really be done”, and I was curious to see if you could review my site like the reasonable adults you should be. There’s a difference between taking up an offer of a WPR and “oh please hate on me!”

And that was the only time we dedicated a full entry to you.

3) The last entry where you “barely mentioned me”? Do you forget what you write? You actually gave me a whole award!

A comedic award that you obviously took too fucking seriously.

Clearly you don’t respond to emails, so let’s try this publicly (maybe it’ll sink in this time).

Let what sink it? That you have no clue about what we’re talking about? That you can’t tell the difference between seriousness and sarcasm? That you take everything too goddamn literally and won’t shut up about it? We already know that.

Whatever problem you have, leave me out of it. I am not this crazy person you make me out to be.

Please refer to the last portion for our answer to that. Remember, it’s not sarcasm!

Thanks for the mention! Yea, I REALLY hate girls (rolls eyes)

Much further than sarcasm. Weird, oh well. I didn’t realize there was more than one Spencer on Snark either.

Oh Rachael… Right into the trap.

Stop reading into things so much. You make yourself look silly and very insecure like the world needs to tell you how much they like you because if they don’t then they obviously hate you. You need to lighten up a bit.

Rachael – I don’t know why you keep coming here to see what these two have to say about you next. You’re obviously getting offended by all this, so I would just drop this and leave Becky and Sarai alone. Not everyone on the ‘net can be your best friend. I think you’re just bringing this all upon yourself. I’m sorry if this offends you, but you’re being rather ridiculous. I’m sure that these two would be willing to stop writing about you when you stop providing them with the satisfaction of your anger.

But Becky and Sarai – I think you’re a tad at fault here too. You know Rachael keeps coming here and getting butthurt over everything she reads. I understand that the point of this site is to show what’s wrong with the internet – and very bluntly, but you guys aren’t just being blunt – I think you’re both being jerks.

We can’t post private emails without the permission of the author. To do so would be illegal and if the author, in this case Rachael, wanted to we could probably be shut down (or suspended). The laws surrounding that, to my knowledge, are a little murky, but I don’t want to take the chance and lose my hosting.

But Becky and Sarai – I think you’re a tad at fault here too. You know Rachael keeps coming here and getting butthurt over everything she reads. I understand that the point of this site is to show what’s wrong with the internet – and very bluntly, but you guys aren’t just being blunt – I think you’re both being jerks.

Did we ever deny calling her names and saying she’s thickheaded? No. We do, however, deny that we do nothing but talk about Rachael to the point that it warrants a cease and desist email. Several weeks ago (I can’t be fucked to go check) I got pissed off and told Rachael she was retarded and to get the fuck off my internets. That led to a bit of a fight (it was a sorry ass e-fight) and then the matter was dropped. Then Rachael requested a review from us and Sarai and I decided that she was the one we could help the most (based on the other entrants), so we gave her a review that made no mention of her past behavior, that was on November 21st, 2007.

Fast forward a month and one day to December 22, 2007 and we gave her a humorous award, thinking, wrongly, that she would be able to take a joke. There was no malice behind it and yet she took it the wrong way. Fine, whatever we’re not responsible for how other people feel. Then she took it upon herself to state that we should get our own ideas and stop copying her (she meant it seriously)! Sarai and I both pointed out why she was mistaken in that assumption and she came back and asked why we had a problem with her. I answered her question, probably not in the way she felt she deserved, and she ignored the it until yesterday morning. In between my last comment and her email was five days. No mention was made of Rachael anywhere for five days. Then we got the email.

So, there are one or two threads were I called Rachael a retard, a real honest-to-god WPR that she requested and a funny little web award she took the wrong way. Over-the-top behavior? I think not. We rarely ever mention her and I rarely ever visit her site now that the WPR is over, there’s no stalking, no harassment and nothing wrong is being done. Rachael is the one that keeps coming back and trying to be a pwnstar, she’s the one that sent the email, which she walked right into, really now did you think we’d email you? She’s the one that has instigated everything after Snark, and we’re the bad guys? Bitch plz. Jerks we may be, but we’re not harassing or stalking anyone, except maybe Hugh Laurie, he’s just so nummylicious.

So to date we have 1 nice WPR, 1 humorous web award and a post on how we’re not obsessed with her. Our stance is simple: Don’t do anything stupid, like claim we shouldn’t steal your web award ideas, and we won’t make fun of you. Don’t send us emails telling us to stop picking on you (because you’re really, really smart, no really!) and we won’t make fun of you. Act like an adult and we’ll either tolerate or buddy up to you.

I didn’t say you were the bad guys, but I said you were slightly at fault for continuing to taunt Rachael after knowing she keeps visiting here. But if anything, I think Rachael is mostly at fault for keeping coming here even after getting the hint that you’re going to keep talking about her until she leaves.

“We can’t post private emails without the permission of the author.”

really? i thought it was known that any email sent to someone is now theiy property. I always tell people that if they send me hatemail they are going to be posted and if they have a problem with that then dont send hatemail.

TGO · Dec 30, 10:46 PM · · Permalink

Actually the copyright is still held by the emails author and not the recipient, however, the recipient can retain a copy of the email on their server and not be accused of copyright, after all it was sent to you. Most lawyers seem to agree, from what I’ve read, that the implied license doesn’t extend to reposting the email elsewhere, this is a violation of the senders privacy and can result in legal implications for the recipient should they repost it without express permission. You may or may not be able to skirt around the issue somewhat using the fair use law, you can repost snippets of the conversation, but that depends on the laws where you live and what the email contained. Because it’s so murky I choose not to repost email unless I first think I can obtain permission and then obtain permission, I don’t want to be caught up in a legal battle over whether or not I violated someones right to privacy, otherwise I’d post all the juicy emails I get from people. As it is I just share them with my friends so we can lulz over the stupidity.

I didn’t say you were the bad guys, but I said you were slightly at fault for continuing to taunt Rachael after knowing she keeps visiting here. But if anything, I think Rachael is mostly at fault for keeping coming here even after getting the hint that you’re going to keep talking about her until she leaves.

But that’s the thing, we don’t continue to taunt her and the only time the topic of Rachael comes up is when she does something like send us an email telling us to stop picking on her.

What I do not understand is why Becky and Sarai lie. I have seen many threads on the Snark message boards, for example, in which Becky and/or Sarai attack Rachael for little, or no reason whatsoever. Rachael will simply join the thread, and they will quickly respond with messages telling her she should “gtfo”, and so on. They backtrack later, of course, by stating they are only being “sarcastic”, or that they are “joking”, but it is easy to see they have malicious intent. Becky and Sarai think they are fooling everyone, but it is clear they are not.

As I understand it, telling someone who takes everything far too literally (she thought that playing the Wii would get her into shape, she actually devised an exercise plan around it!) telling them that you were either sarcastic or joking is not a lie. It’s actually the truth.

Becky · Jan 1, 12:57 AM · · Permalink

I cannot be bothered to find the exact threads at the moment, so forgive me..
But perhaps the one in which Becky was threatening you with “chat logs”, Sarai? I am sure you recall that.
“I’m sick of your fucking bitching, Sarai, all you fucking do is complain all day long about everyone. I can prove it, too, I have all the chat logs saved, so shut your mouth.”
Becky certainly shaped you into place with those posts of hers, didn’t she.. Who needs enemies when you have such wonderful friends.. Then I believe Rachael posted some sort of referee comment for the two of you, and then one, (or both of you, I cannot recall,) attacked her verbally (textually?) for her peace making efforts.

But returning to the original topic, Snark message board members aren’t /b/ tards. They should be quite able to search for posts and/or topics by Becky, Rachael, and yourself without a hand to hold onto.

If I were a Snark member right now I’d be pretty insulted. They know that we’re mean to Rachael, in fact that’s their whole argument! They don’t need you sitting there saying “Oh hey, Becky and Sarai are being mean to this twit!” They already know.

You’re missing the point. Readers here on IP read the comments, right? (Right.) You’re the first one, from Snark, to call us outright liars. But none of the other Snark members have. I wonder why not? They could post whatever facts they have against us here, and our readers would “learn” about all of our “evil doings”. But they haven’t, and you know why? Because they don’t have examples or facts to back themselves up. You posted one example, and you didn’t go through with it. So what’s the point of bringing up the fact that we’re liars without backing yourself up? Just saying “I’ve seen you be mean to Rachael in the past!” is not enough. Not enough to take you seriously, anyway.

I’ll wait for you to try just a little bit harder.

Oh, I see. Well if I were one of our readers then I’d be insulted right now because the whole point of this site is to talk shit about other people. To date we have a few web awards, a mention or two and a single feature of people we like. I don’t think that anyone would read this and think that we like her in any way or have any sort of fuzzy feelings towards her.

Ah, here we are.. A prime example in the shape of a Snark thread:
http://dubious.nu/forum/index.php?topic=3069.50
Needless battering towards Rachael, not to mention that this is the infamous thread where Sarai and Becky have their little spat.
(And somehow I am unable to find the other thread I was thinking of.. Did Snark recently lose threads, or am I thinking of another message board entirely?)
And why do you say, at one point in time, you are only being sarcastic, and then the next moment, you are saying you do not even like her in the first place?
Why say you are being sarcastic? Why say you are joking? This is my entire point, the point which you have failed to address as of yet.
You two keep getting your stories mis-matched.. It is wonderful for the “lulz”, of course.. But it is disappointing.

Lily, do you mind my asking who you are on Snark?

Before you dig yourself any deeper into the hole you’re digging for yourself, I’d recommend you read this thread. Rachael is known for not being able to take a joke, in that particular thread I can’t find any mention of jokes about Rachael. If you’re referring to my overuse of retard to the point where it doesn’t mean anything then you fail. Please, try again.

LOL Infamous. That thread was a joke. Becky and I weren’t really fighting. We were going to explain the fact that we were just kidding but Snark has this really lame closing threads policy. Nice try though. Is that all your basing your argument off of? This one thread and another that you can’t find?

And why do you say, at one point in time, you are only being sarcastic, and then the next moment, you are saying you do not even like her in the first place?

Are you talking about the thread? Both of those are true? We are sarcastic, and we consider her annoying. We’re only sarcastic about liking her. :)

This is my entire point, the point which you have failed to address as of yet.
You two keep getting your stories mis-matched.. It is wonderful for the “lulz”, of course.. But it is disappointing.

LOL. Because we owe you and our readers something, right? Gtfo.

First it was a casual, even friendly attitude towards Rachael.. This would be the web award incident. (Twisted friendliness, of course, but that is what you are known best for.) Next, when she replied with her feelings regarding the award, it was a total and complete turn around..

..A comedic award that you obviously took too fucking seriously..

Then the attitude was re-shaped yet again, with an even more aggressive tone.

..You can’t tell the difference between seriousness and sarcasm (..) You take everything too goddamn literally and won’t shut up about it..

But then it is back to the twisted friendliness..

You’re not the exception just because you’re in our “blogging circle”. We’ll treat you just like everyone else, that’s how it is.

..We gave her a humorous award, thinking, wrongly, that she would be able to take a joke. There was no malice behind it and yet she took it the wrong way..

And then finally, you decide to say you don’t even have a liking towards her what-so-ever.

I don’t think that anyone would read this and think that we like her in any way or have any sort of fuzzy feelings towards her.

Hmm, all of this is quite mystifying.

Er, Lily, I think you might want to do a little more research on the meaning of sarcasm or something. Those quotes you just posted? All say the SAME THING. They jokingly gave Rachel an award, because she’s in their social circle and they thought she’d appreciate the joke.

I like Rachael well enough, but I think she needs to learn the golden rule from middle school – if you ignore the people making fun of you, eventually they’ll go make fun of other people. In this case, probably people with insanely long sidebars or something.

readers were not aware of you and Becky’s true truculence towards Rachael.. That is, until I just posted.

Yeah, she’s right Becky. I thought you were actually The Holy Mother of God. And you know… I still think Lily is just jelusssssssssss Mmm yah!
