Drama 101

Here it is. A tutorial for the Cricut (or any) Message Board. Some are already so well versed in the subject they could teach it, but a refresher never hurts.

Drama 101

1.) Post your thread in the wrong topic.

a.) If its a prayer request that you want, make sure you don't put in the "Prayer Request" thread so you can garner all the attention that you can get.

b.) Write OT as a preface to your thread title so you admit to everyone that the rules don't apply to you.


2.) Start a drama thread.

a.) Demonstrate just how much of a hypocrite you can be, but never admit it.

b.) Sit back and watch others run to your side and perpetuate the cycle.

c.) Loudly proclaim that you "hate drama." Don't worry it doesn't have to be true. That never matters.

d.) Point out just how much your opinion must be stated, but leave no room for anyone else to state theirs.

e.) Make sure you post on every drama thread to come across the MB to show just how much you "hate drama."


3.) When faced with facts, deny all.

a.) When challenged on your stance, don't mess with facts, figures or direct quotes. They just get in the way.

b.) Resort to name calling or finger pointing. It will surely feed the drama thread.

c.) Bring out the "block button" card. Show just how above it all you really are, and make sure that everyone knows that you use it and on who.

d.) Know exactly what that person is talking about, that you supposedly blocked. Refer to this as divine intervention.


4.) Create an alternate ID

a.) When facing voices of dissent attack. It doesn't matter if they are correct. See 3a.

b.) You can't sully your own ID. You can't let people can't know the real you. So say it and don't you dare own it.

c.) Stalk the voices of dissent until the thread is removed, or until the time when reality breaks in.


5.) Send negative PMs

a.) Send PMs to people that you disagree with or simply do not like.

b.) See 4b


6.) Play the victim

a.) When things aren't going the way you want them, pull out your "Victim Card." Tell others how you've gotten hurtful emails or PMs but never show them to others.


RECAP:

Facts don't matter.

Deny all.

Sit back and watch.
