Most Embarassing BD moment - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

DarkRose · 02-08-2005, 03:38 PM

Oh dear. There've been many embarassing moments for me during my stay at the Downs, some more memorable than others..

When I was just a wee newb, I tried to go around pointing out details and bits of info and answering questions when I really wasn't even sure of the answers. :P One such incident was when I mistakenly (and smugly) told someone that Gandalf does not touch the Ring when he throws it into the fire, but rather swats the envelope containing the Ring in. Well, the discussion was about the books and not the movie, and Estelyn graciously pointed out my error. It was embarrassing, but I learned not to answer others so brashly!

Also, one of my first posts on the 'Downs was titled "SHELOB!??!" with content something like "OMG, lyke, is Shelob gunna be in TTT or NoT?!!?!" Needless to say, it wasn't exactly the best way to make a good first impression. Oi vey. The shame!

In retrospect, I see that I've made many moronic posts and generally acted idiotically in some instances, but I can only learn from past embarrassments and act properly from here on out. :P

Ouch, Feanor! I just read the reply, at least you covered up for it fairly well..... I would probably have just ignored the thread.

Ah, but what you fail to realize is that even though I've looked in on the thread, I'm generally terrified to try again. Haha. My ego, although stronger than most, can only take so much bruising.

Lol, if I did that I think I'd be only looking in & not posting on pretty much the entire forum!

I remember one time, when I was here a few years ago as Aldagrim Proudfoot, I responded to the wrong person. They had similar names and I think they were married, but I think I insulted her.

I believe that a certain false report which was corrected today takes the top prize as the most embarrassing moment for BDers in general.

I think you might be right, phantom.
