What is the best rumor to spread about someone?

One that is undeniably ridiculous and false so that no one believes it and you don’t hurt the people in question.

gay and lesbian?

that they’re right for each other? share the same disease?

no. like real examples of good rumors to spread.

never just one more like three in one 1.a snitch i.e. copcaller 2. A closet CRACK smoker and top it off with Gender profiling 3. small penis or visaversa large vagina

um….berocky….are you serious? No offensive but this is the worst question I’ve ever seen. You actually WANT to spread a rumor about someone? that is just awful.

“hey did you know berocky1 is trying to spread nasty rumors about you ?” “he is? oh he is such a creep!”

something involving a rabbit, a lightbulb and a potato.

Come on people stop encouraging him

to everyone here. this is an important question, i don’t want to spread a rumor about anyone. I’m just doing something really important. i don’t spread rumors.

This question makes no sense then. Why would you want to know good rumors if you don’t even want to spread them?

@comedian. me and my sister doing a joint project on social mishaps.

and your topic is rumors?

yes. well. that and awkward social situations.

what class?

home schooled

hmmm….I know people who are home schooled and they don’t have to do that stuff

oh. it’s just a phsycologic thing that my mom wants us to learn or whatever. don’t ask me. and i decided to tap the collective

hmmm….whatever

That they’re good people.

that you frequently see them doing random acts of kindness

None at all. Ever.

did your mom also assign you to learn how to spell the word “psychological” or is that next week’s topic, right after you find out the best to give someone an STD?

Maybe that you look good with blue hair. Where does a rumor end and a lie begin?

Think it’s time to give up on this one.

Why would you want to do that? How would you feel if someone spread a false rumor about you?

don’t be lame…

STOP BEING KAME PEOPLE. YOU MISUNDERSTOOD THE WHOLE QUESTION. COOL IT PEOPLE. FAILED COLLECTIVE.

STEVE..STEVE…STEVE !!!!

@berocky: apparently.

@berocky: No, we didn’t misunderstand the question. We chose not to answer it in the style which you approved of and we did so because none of us approved of the question. We, as a collective, felt that there was no appropriate use for the “true answers” regardless of what you said you needed them for. You should use this experience in your learning because it has become, on it’s own, an awkward social situation for you.

Instead of getting a few answers, on the whole something you said was deemed inappropriate by a number of people in the online society. You tried to justify it, but at least a few people felt it was still inappropriate, thus creating a specific social situation that I, at least, would find awkward because your user name is forever associated with this question. You are forever associated with this question, your defense of this question, and the way that people did not accept that defense. Instead of letting it go, you lashed out angrily—something many people do when they find themselves in just the kind of situation you are researching.

So in the end, while we may not have answered your question, the experience of having posted this question, the ensuing discussion, and the result of it all show you what happens in the process of an awkward situation. Or in simpler terms, the “rumor” was started “berocky1 posted an inappropriate question” by the posting showing up on the first page of Fluther. The reactions, ours and yours, show how this group would deal with rumors, and how you, yourself deal with a social situation that has gotten out of control.

Though not what you hoped for, it may be exactly what you needed. I would say that instead of having failed you as a collective, we’ve become theater to teach you. But that would be my take on things.

@Empress: Bravo!
