Here's My Take On It.....Hawk

  Author:  277  Category:(Discussion) Created:(5/20/2002 9:04:00 PM)
This post has been Viewed (2257 times)



The topic of "fluff" has been beaten to death the past few days. I am quite aware of this. However, I took the time to find some quotes that may help some people understand the meaning of fluff. I got the impression that some don't know what fluff is. This is only for discussion purposes, hence the discussion category. You all get the picture I'm sure.

"Never pretend to a love which you do not actually feel, for love is not ours to command." (Alan Watts)

When people give hugs here do they really care for the individual they are giving them too? Are there feelings behind them or is it just there? If you're giving them out they should be genuine. They shouldn't be there for any other reason.

Be honest with yourselves....

"Honesty pays, but it doesn't seem to pay enough to suit some people." (F. M. Hubbard)



"You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you." (Dale Carnegie)

Are hugs given just for attention or to get people interested in you?



"There was a definite process by which one made people into friends, and it involved talking to them and listening to them for hours at a time." (Rebecca West)

When you give out your hugs, how well do you know some of the people you're giving them too?

Would you walk down the street and start hugging strangers? Some strangers might not like that.....

Date: 5/20/2002 9:07:00 PM  From Authorid: 16845    LOL Hawk love the last line ya got there....you brought up some very good points. I can say the 'fluff' on here doesn't bother me....but I myself will never hand it out unless I truely mean it.  
Date: 5/20/2002 9:09:00 PM  From Authorid: 16916    well, when I say *Hugs* or Love Ya or anything along those lines it is meant. If I was looking atcha face to face I would hug ya..if i dont mean it..I dont say it. But I truly do love everyone, its in my nature, unless something has done something unhumanly wrong, I cant help but love them. It is the way I am brought up. It is merely a human to human love, its nothing romantic.. I dont give out fluff I dont give out false love   
Date: 5/20/2002 9:09:00 PM  From Authorid: 16916    someone has done something**  
Date: 5/20/2002 9:10:00 PM  From Authorid: 3321    That's why I don't hug people here...If I'm in chat, I will smile at you or wave. But hugs are reserved for the people I actually know. I try to mean what I do and say.  
Date: 5/20/2002 9:12:00 PM  From Authorid: 1631    I'm sooooooooo skeptical of the kissy-wissy-smoochy-woochy people. They are usually the ones with the most skeletons in their closets and often hold the biggest and baddest grudges of them all!...  
Date: 5/20/2002 9:14:00 PM  From Authorid: 1631    Hawk, Perse...remember the Non-Fluff days? I mean, were the REALLY that bad? I kinda miss them, myself. I'm so sick of the sugar coated junk around here that I could puke marshmallows...  
Date: 5/20/2002 9:14:00 PM  From Authorid: 3321    And also...I'm the type of person who smiles a lot. It just happens and I don't even know it, but some people are so ridiculous in their actions and overdo their "fluff" so much here...how can people not see through it?  
Date: 5/20/2002 9:14:00 PM  From Authorid: 20750    lmbo @ Ali!!  
Date: 5/20/2002 9:15:00 PM  From Authorid: 16845    *looks at ali* Uh oh, *Stops making kissy faces at her dog* wouldn't want ya to get the wrong impression there ali! lol  
Date: 5/20/2002 9:17:00 PM  From Authorid: 3321    Oh Ali! Come here and let me hug you you're so sweet oh my gosh I just wish I could take you home and hang you on my wall you're so adorable oh you're just so wonderful I could hug you every second here, give me a smooch! :-D You mean life without that? It was doggone terrible (not really though...)  
Date: 5/20/2002 9:18:00 PM  From Authorid: 15070    LOL.....Hawk, I think there is not a lot that escapes your notice. Ali, good observation. (sorry I called you "Alt" last week).....heehee....good post.  
Date: 5/20/2002 9:18:00 PM  From Authorid: 27046    ROFLMBO @ Ali and I am just gonna keep my mouth shut and say nothing more regarding that comment....LOL...I don't say it unless I mean it. I don't use "fluff" or in other words any kind of signature other than my tag when I sign unless it is for people that I know...and by that I mean talk to on the phone or I have met before. There has been the exclusive occassion that I have given them out to make someone else feel better that I just know from "being around" that is going through a hard time, but trust me they are few and far between...LOL...I can say that nothing drives me more crazy then to have someone be sarcastic or downright tear you to shreds and tell you they love you or give you hugs that the same time...Okay before I get myself into anymore trouble....LOL...~~  
Date: 5/20/2002 9:19:00 PM  From Authorid: 1631    USM used to be a hopping, intelligent, challenging place to hang out and flex my mind muscle. Now it just feels like a big game of Candy Land...  
Date: 5/20/2002 9:20:00 PM  From Authorid: 27046    Ali it would be my personal opinion that you are in need of some midol or something..*smiles* *hugs and love* love and kisses* *xoxo* *hugglies* huggles* and ahhhhh this takes to long...LOL...~~  
Date: 5/20/2002 9:21:00 PM  From Authorid: 20750    lmbo @ Persphone!! OMG!! hehhehe!  
Date: 5/20/2002 9:21:00 PM  From Authorid: 1631    Oh AZ - I SO agree with you there. LSG - LOL!...  
Date: 5/20/2002 9:22:00 PM  From Authorid: 20750    Ali!! lmbo!!  
Date: 5/20/2002 9:22:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 277    LOL@Ali! I agree with you! Lots of skeletons! either that or lack of love and friendship in real life??? Persephone, I don't know how they can't...I really don't. What gets me is that sometimes you'll see the fluff at the end of a comment that the person appears to just add in just in case it is offensive to someone or in case someone might get mad at them they just put "hugs" at the end so they don't have to worry about being warned or worry about a confrontation. Then if they are confronted, they say "Oh, I even put *hugs* at the end of my comment! You must be really insecure or something!" And all of the sudden they are little miss/mr innocent! And it was perfectly planned with a fake hug.  
Date: 5/20/2002 9:23:00 PM  From Authorid: 20750    heheheheehehe!!!  
Date: 5/20/2002 9:23:00 PM  From Authorid: 1631    It's gonna take more than some piddly Midol to make me meet the happy requirements around here, AZ. Bring me the Valium!...  
Date: 5/20/2002 9:24:00 PM  From Authorid: 1631    I call those cruel comments coated with false kindness "Sugar Coated Slams"...  
Date: 5/20/2002 9:25:00 PM  From Authorid: 1631    Perse, all that mushy stuff coming from you was just disturbing, ok. LOL!...  
Date: 5/20/2002 9:25:00 PM  From Authorid: 15070    ~ROTFLMAO!~.....but it was followed with a *hug*, (innocent look, with batting eyelashes).....heehee  
Date: 5/20/2002 9:25:00 PM  From Authorid: 15070    heheheheheeeeee......  
Date: 5/20/2002 9:25:00 PM  From Authorid: 27046    Oh I just thought of something.....OMG I am the worst fluffster....LOL....I spend so much time in yahoo with Linda that I use smiley faces all the time.....you can see my replies all over where I have ended my comment with a.... or an ~~~.....I am ashamed *bows head*....LOL  
Date: 5/20/2002 9:25:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 277    Ali, "sugar coated slams"....sounds like a shot! LOL! One that will make me puke!  
Date: 5/20/2002 9:26:00 PM  From Authorid: 1631    LMAOOOOOO HAWK!!!!!!...  
Date: 5/20/2002 9:26:00 PM  From Authorid: 3321    What gets me is that nowadays whenever someone tries to really have a stand or opinion on an issue, you have a brigade of people against you, NOT because they disagree, but because someone else told them to disagree with you. By the way, DOWN WITH THE BEAUTY CONTEST!!! Oh dear, I hope that wasn't offensive. *SUPER BIG HUG SO THAT YOU DON'T GET MAD AT ME OH PLEASE DON'T EVER BE MAD THAT I WOULD DARE DISAGREE!* *rolling eyes*  
Date: 5/20/2002 9:27:00 PM  From Authorid: 1631    Beauty contest? Now I'm REALLY gonna puke...  
Date: 5/20/2002 9:27:00 PM  From Authorid: 15070    Now, I'm dying......."sugar-coated slams"...HAHAHA!!!!  
Date: 5/20/2002 9:27:00 PM  From Authorid: 20750    lmbo!!  
Date: 5/20/2002 9:27:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 277    LOL@AZ! Those are facial expressions, silly!  
Date: 5/20/2002 9:28:00 PM  From Authorid: 15070    *whew*.......wipes tears from her eyes.....  
Date: 5/20/2002 9:28:00 PM  From Authorid: 4548    i think about when i go to clubs or whatever and how guys will do just about anything to get their hands on you. you know how you'll be trying to walk through the crowd and someone's hand is suddenly somewhere it shouldn't be? i hate that feeling. i guess it applies to cyber-sleeze as well lol. emoticons have their time and place.  
Date: 5/20/2002 9:29:00 PM  From Authorid: 1631    "cyber sleaze". Good one, Jez!...  
Date: 5/20/2002 9:29:00 PM  From Authorid: 15070    what is "cyber-sleeze?"  
Date: 5/20/2002 9:29:00 PM  From Authorid: 27046    I would like to know who the moron is that is rubbing off on me....for like 3 week half of my comments don't even make sense, they are missing words....sometimes I am one thought and I jump to another. Someone hand me some ritalin or something I cannot concentrate for nuttin!....LOL  
Date: 5/20/2002 9:30:00 PM  From Authorid: 27046    OMG seeeeeeeee!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHH!  
Date: 5/20/2002 9:30:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 277    My comment on Date: 5/20/2002 9:30:00 PM was for Perse..  
Date: 5/20/2002 9:30:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 277    Yes, I have seen the brigades. What would these people do without the use of their pm's to call for backup?! You know, I saw that beauty contest post and didn't even click on it. The only thing that post is going to result in is a bunch of whining females after the winner is announced because someone didn't win.  
Date: 5/20/2002 9:31:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 277    LOL@Jezebel! People should keep their hands to themselves! LOL!  
Date: 5/20/2002 9:33:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 277    LOL@Azairyia! That's too funny. Pick a moron...any moron! LOL!  
Date: 5/20/2002 9:33:00 PM  From Authorid: 1631    Man, I gotta bail, but I'll check up on this post again tomorrow. *wondering why the Pro-Fluff brigade isn't responding*...  
Date: 5/20/2002 9:34:00 PM  From Authorid: 4548    lol LSG, go to any chatroom on yahoo and announce you are an 18 year old female with size 40dd, experience for yourself lol

Date: 5/20/2002 9:51:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 277    I hear ya, Thunderhead! Az, with all the "whacking" going on lately I wouldn't be surprised if the usm mafia got them! LOL! Perse, yes, a smoker, unfortunately I will have to quit after I finish my carton! I need the money to go towards my new car payments and insurance! My husband and I go through a carton each a week. That's almost $80 a week spent on smoking! But, that is a totally different post!  
Date: 5/20/2002 9:53:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 277    LMAO@AZ! Can we suggest a not "full of fluff but we like to puff" award? LOL!

Date: 5/20/2002 9:54:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 277    Sorry, King...I never hug anyone, not even my kids....LMAO!  
Date: 5/20/2002 9:57:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 277    That's right LSG, Fluff is also the stuff you put in a peanut butter sandwich. It is very sweet and sugary. That is why "sugar coated" comments are called "fluff".  
Date: 5/20/2002 9:59:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 277    LOL! I was thinking of someone else too, Thunderhead! LMAO!  
Date: 5/20/2002 10:01:00 PM  From Authorid: 27046    Hey Hawk ummmmm I don't think the maffia would go for it...LOL....but you can have the award for one of very few tags that aren't flashy and totally drive me bonkers award...LOL

Date: 5/20/2002 10:03:00 PM  From Authorid: 39258    i know a handful of people who like their 'rude' comments to be sugar coated, fluffy and followed by a hug. I know because they've directed them towards me MANY times. I don't know if they think I am not susposed to be offended because they added a hug at the end or not, but they HAVE to be retarded because they aren't THAT sneaky  
Date: 5/20/2002 10:04:00 PM  From Authorid: 15070    LOL......Thunderhead, I am not that Narcassistic......chill...it's all good. Thank you for clearing that up, HAWK, I myself have never eaten Fluff....but I have seen it before........

Date: 5/20/2002 10:08:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 277    LMAO@Telsha! No, they aren't very sneaker, but if they were ever questioned by an admin about the comments they made to someone they can always use their *hug* as a cop out. "See I even hugged them! I wasn't being being "rude". LOL@AZ, well, thanks! Thunderhead, your faces are just fine...they don't embrace anyone! LOL!  
Date: 5/20/2002 10:08:00 PM  From Authorid: 15070    DON'T STEAL! The government hates competition  
Date: 5/20/2002 10:11:00 PM  From Authorid: 39258    ah yes, hawk, good expression (cop out) that's so not cool. way to be fake about it. Dude, if you're gunna be pissed, have some balls and be pissed. If you're gunna be all huggy and kissy, then don't waste my time

Date: 5/20/2002 10:42:00 PM  From Authorid: 21435    Hello Hawk. Good post. Addresses an everyday thing..(hugs and love) I don't really mind being cyber-hugged or cyber-loved here at USM. Just make me feel that you mean it, and that's cool with me. As for me saying that I love folks here at USM, well if I tell ya that I love ya then, I do. Good informative post, Hawk. Write on...

Date: 5/21/2002 12:43:00 AM  From Authorid: 50435    Wow! Slightly hostile?...lol. It's like a gimmick sorta. It's the way that someone likes to end their posts and comments. Most of the people are consistant and use it at the end of every one of their comments. The don't mean any harm. I'm very surprised that anyone would take offense to this. It's ridiculous actually. Pretty soon people are goin' to be complaining about those annoying comments that everyone leaves whenever they post something up...*winks*. Take care and oh yeah, *hugs*...Gallytuck...lmao
  
Date: 5/21/2002 2:37:00 AM  From Authorid: 48602    uh-oh i guess i am more of the fluff type. is that a bad thing? lol :P
Date: 5/21/2002 3:52:00 AM  From Authorid: 33925    It amazes me the ones that come to THIS post and support it and they do EXACTLY the thing this post is complaining about..Wow..Takes all kinds to make the world go round I guess..xoxo <---*my signiture and it stays!*  
Date: 5/21/2002 6:31:00 AM  From Authorid: 53838    Well Hawk you have given me food for thought today . I'm going to try to remember this as I go about my day.. Thanks Old Lady  
Date: 5/21/2002 8:58:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 277    Abz, I told you what's up with fluff in the post. Did you read the whole thing or just the first sentence that included the word fluff. Yes, I am quite sure people have better things to talk about such as beauty contests, being bored, posts that ask which do you like better this or that, coke or pepsi, Britnet Spears, you get the picture. I have to start wondering when you say "do people have nothing better to talk about?" I try to stay on top of current events in real life and here at usm, don't you. Fluff, is a current/daily event here. This is just a discussion. If you feel it is a waste of your time, start reading comments on other posts. You might see what I mean about fluff. But since you could find something better to talk about, then I would assume you'd find something better to think about when reading. However, I believe if you did read this post you might just start to notice all the fluff spread.  
Date: 5/21/2002 9:04:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 277    50435, WHo is hostile? "Most of the people are consistant and use it at the end of every one of their comments." That is the whole issue here. If they use it on "all" their comments, how is it genuine? No, they don't mean any harm, but I think it is all for show. Or to be used as a cop out when they leave a nasty comment. If there is a *hug* left at the end then they can say they weren't being mean, when in fact they were. People already do complain about the "comments that everyone leaves whenever they post something up". They complain about not enough, they complain about the quality, they complain they are rude. I don't see fluff as a complaint. I see fluff as a MASK.  
Date: 5/21/2002 9:15:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 277    LadyLuck, I know...LOL! It amazes me too! You've been using xoxo forever, it is "original" I think people totally follow the leader at usm. Giving *hugs* in every comment they write. A few people did it and it caught on. Nothing wrong with a growing trend, but if it's *hugs* that are the trend they should at least know who they giving them to and the love should be genuine. But, you are aware that "xoxo" means *hugs* and *kisses* right? Is it possible you jumped on the *hug* bandwagon but didn't want to be too obvious, so you use xoxo??? LOL!

Date: 5/21/2002 9:56:00 AM  From Authorid: 33925    LOLOL..Hawk, nope I didnt jump on any bandwagon..If you knew me when I hung out at MSN chats you would know that I used my xoxo's there too..I know what it means..and I mean what I type..as for when I am angry..yea..it may seem fake, but oh well..old habits die hard I guess..:P:P xoxo  
Date: 5/21/2002 12:09:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 277    LOL@LadyLuck! Well, I must say you really are real in the fact that you are not here to give us bull. You, unlike some others, admitted plainly that you do say xoxo at the end of all your comments. Others I have seen around give the old "only when I mean it". Old habits do die hard and I think it is commendable that you are honest. Like you stated above "It amazes me the ones that come to THIS post and support it and they do EXACTLY the thing this post is complaining about", you do not fall in that category. But, if we were to meet in person one day...fell free to "not" xoxo me! LOL!

Date: 5/21/2002 2:02:00 PM  From Authorid: 9130    This is a great post-- i haven't read the replies yet, i may reply aagin after I read them...  
Date: 5/21/2002 2:04:00 PM  From Authorid: 9130    I find it interesting that the people that NEEDED to read this post, haven't replied to it...  
Date: 5/21/2002 3:09:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 277    [email protected], I'm sure those people (the fluffers) have read it. But, they can't think of anything to say??? It's been viewed 343 times, you know they read it.  
Date: 5/21/2002 3:27:00 PM  From Authorid: 16671    well I've read it and I have had lots of laughs out of it. One can blame pixie for all the "hugs" stuff, she started it and it just caught on. Your right, lots of people and I'll admit, lol, I do it too, sign a nice big hug at a less than nice comment. But then you have to wonder? Are they really hugging them or just their throat? Oh and thunderhead""" rather anyone cares or not and this is a good all around body hug, HUGSSSSSSSSSS and you crack me up my amen sister.  
Date: 5/21/2002 3:55:00 PM  From Authorid: 50435    Why does it have to be genuine? And I'm sorry, but if you are rude or hateful in a comment you can type "hugs" all you want at the end and it won't get you out of it. I mean, c'mon, for example if someone included the line, "I think you're a dirty, rotten scoundrel and a waste of precious space," and then ended the post with "Lotsa Hugs...So-and-So" do you really think that they could get away with it? LOL. I would say certainly not! I see your point about people claiming that they only use it when they mean it. But in the example above I don't feel they could use it as a "cop-out". If you're mean, you're mean, and no matter how many "hugs" you send out it's not goin' to get you out of the hotseat. Take care and awright, I won't put "hugs" on this one...lol...my first comment to this post was the first and last time...Gallytuck.  
Date: 5/21/2002 6:24:00 PM  From Authorid: 12823    Well, I live in the real world where I dont take everything off an internet website literally. If someone says *hugs* I dont get a mental picture of them wrapping their arms around me in a loving embrace. When someone says xoxo I don't think of it as them expressing their undying desire to give me hugs and kisses. I simply see it as a friendly gesture. I don't like "fluff" but I appreciate kindness. What's wrong with being nice, anyways? Out of the 50,000 plus members, I have actually said the words "I love you" to one member. And this member and I talk on the phone several times a week, yahoo message eachother almost daily, and even talked about moving close to eachother. I say it to this person because I mean it. I remember I used to sign my posts "Love," and then my tag would appear. Someone called me on this. In my opinion I simply meant it as a "Sincerely" or "Cordially" but this person opened my eyes as for it to be a little too deep for a website. So I stopped after I saw the point. I didnt mean it to be an "I would die for you and you are more important to me than the air I breathe" comment ending. Simply a friendly gesture. I try not to read to much into things and I certainly wont be offended by affection from strangers. Nor skeptical. I simply take it as I see it- a unique endearment from that person and nothing more.

Date: 5/21/2002 6:49:00 PM  From Authorid: 44321    I normally give a hug in a post if that person seems to be having a rough time,I smile alot in posts and I was told once that I LOL too much hee hee but I really don't think I am "fluffy"I am not overly affectionate in real life, so I do not really use terms of affection too freely I don't really call anyone sweetie,honey etc...basically when I want to I give my ((HUG)) LOL ok that is all I wanted to say goodnight all  
Date: 5/25/2002 4:06:00 PM  From Authorid: 9130    Aeruxia-- i think we all know of a few members that NEED to read this... are you saying NO ONE here does? LOL

Date: 6/23/2002 10:36:00 PM  From Authorid: 12341    I do hug a lot of strangers, some are kids, who are sick, some abused, I hug the elderly, I hug the dying, I hug some just because they are at the end of life's rope. Do I love them, YES, I do, in my heart I feel love and compassion for anyone who reaches out to me. Giving a hug is sometimes all that I can do.
