Frumpy Mom's Credentials

[ModsDeleteThisAccountPlease]

Well with all the buzz going around with Frumpy, I decided to read some of her other posts, including this gem. http://themomblog.freedomblogging.com/2008/10/20/homework-is-two-four-letter-words-strung-together/2182/

some quotes from her

When I was a kid, I never once did a lick of homework. I lied to my parents brazenly, content in the knowledge that they would innocently believe me when I told them it was done.

To this day, I can not do math

I also was forced to go to a not-great college, due to the fact that no one else offered me a scholarship, because my grades basically were, well, not great

I do not know why homework even exists. The kids hate doing it. The parents hate it. The teachers hate grading it. So who is s pushing this agenda?

The people smart enough to realize that homework reinforces what you learn in class and improves your speed and accuracy, which make it essential to the learning process.

After reading this post, Frumpy really lost all credentials to her name. She is a mediocre graduate from some unheard college shouting ill-researched opinions from the soap box of the internet.

also, I had to fix here contractions, the quote tag couldn't read them properly.

finally, any comments?

Do not pay attention to her. It only gives her power.

Since when did she have credentials?

No point in trying to prove a troll's credibility.

 

[Irridium]

Don't feed the troll. (Not you, the mom)

 

[megapenguinx]

Why do we care?

She's a troll. A real life troll, nothing more.

She actually looks like something I'd expect to find under a bridge.....
Anywho, yeah they'll give anyone a platform nowadays if they are loud enough.

 

[LockeDown]

She may not have book smarts, but ask her anything about fantastic real estate tips around or under bridges, or the etiquette of billy goat consumption.

Edit:

Darn, ninja'd. My billy goat comment stands, though.

Erm, is it bad that I kinda match that academic description too?
Except that my grades in high school were actually quite good and I probably could've gone to a better college.
I'm gonna be the devil's advocate here and say this:
I hardly ever did my homework in high school, and yet I still have the ability to form an opinion and state it somewhat coherently.
Then again, I suppose the difference is that I can spell and do math, and I even know some pretty crazy things about physics.

This. I'm still confused why anyone cares about what she says.

If I make a blog post about how videogames are evil, will The Escapist write several articles linking to my blog as well? Will forumers discuss the merits (or lack thereof) of my claims all week?

I doubt it.

Then why is this woman given so much attention? Slow news days?

 

[Cherry Cola]

SHE HAD CREDENTIALS!?

Come one guys, don't bother with her. She is a textbook narcissist, and anything anybody says will not get through to her, because she is incredibly up her own asshole.

Quoted for great justice. I'm adding this line to my list XD

While she does make a point about kids playing too much videogames (there's a little grain of truth in most everything), she didn't have to go all "VIDEOGAMES ARE TEH EVULZ LOLZ"

Actually, you have to read the quotes in context. The article is meant to be taken tongue in cheek as far as her opinion on homework is concerned. I know she's an internet *****, but come on people, theres no reason to stoop to her level by select quoting her to make her look bad. (Does anyone else see the hypocrisy here?)You're basically doing the same thing she is doing, but without the guise of ignorance.

As video gamers, I know we have tendency lash out at anyone who dares question our chosen hobby, but we can at least be civil and fair about it. Also, by threatening violence, you are only supporting the mainstream argument against video games: "THEY WILL TURN YOUR KIDS INTO MURDER MACHINES, INCAPABLE OF THOUGHT OR LOVE!!!!"

so to the OP, check yourself and your motivations before unleashing a tirade. And posting a link does not make the article fair, cause you know that this is the internet, and people hate reading

 

[Lemon Of Life]

What's the point of this? If we talk about her, she'll never die. Stop believing, and she'll fade away.

 

[BlueberryFalacy]

*GASP* She did bad in school, without videogames?

Maybe it isn't the source!

You deserve a cookie for that

Suprised she hasn't tried to run for some political position, she has the narcicist and god quota filled. She's as bad as Atkinson and about as good looking

 

[RagnorakTres]

Actually, homework does jackshit for the learning process in my experience. For the most part it's boring makework, only there cause the state-mandated curriculum calls for it. *shrugs* Anyway.

Yeah, she's a horrible *****. I'm just gonna ignore her from now on. I posted one comment about her second post. That's all the rise she's getting out of me.

Nice reply, way better than the 20 something mentions of trolls. I really don't care if she's attacking video games. I could care less. Even if she was attacking something I don't like, I will be against her on stand of principals.

She is a mediocre graduate from some unheard college shouting ill-researched opinions from the soap box of the internet.

You know, I could have guessed that without you telling me. But anyway, she's just an over-opinionated fool who has discovered the internet. She can keep her opinions, so long as they aren't made to interfere with my everyday life.

Sean Bean - "They have a cave troll".

And it's disguised itself as a self-righteous *****.

I even know some pretty crazy things about physics.

... What is this? I don't even...
