Does anyone know what her real name was?
I think gabbygaga was a smelly transsexual drag queen and all that has happened here is that the drag queen died. it's kind of like if guitar woman came back as father spaz after his spockisms were discovered.
Either that or I killed her with my bastardly ways. Maybe I've been wrong about how I act on the internet. Maybe I should be nicer to internet morons.
I actually considered not making fun of idiots on the internet!
I posit the drag queen theory because gabby acted like a complete drag queen with all her annoying woman unpowerful power of whatever stuff.
It appears you've all been sitting back there making your disgusting statements about my daughter. "Nancy" has been consulted and you've all taken your idiotic and ignorant opinions and vomited them out in cyberspace. You, Nancy, Gabby's fans and all of the miscreants have chosen to speculate on who my daughter really was. You'll never know. This girl was a light in the world that you'll never see the likes of again. She was too good for this world. I choose not to enlighten you. You truly make me sick. So go ahead and wonder. You'll never know. She was an extraordinary human being. She is in Heaven now and your comments are of no consequence. You hurt her on earth. Feel proud that you are all so sick. This includes the Chinese doctor persona who attempts to be the mediator in this little bit of gossip. Get a life. Mine has been destroyed.
You are apparently all too simple to appreciate genius when you see it. I can't help you, nor do I desire to do so. Gabby Gaga will live forever. You will not.

Grislygus
May 8th, 2010, 12:07 PM
If you're not going to tell us anything, why post?
Also Gabby's mom, I'll have you know that bumping year-old threads is a criminal offense but don't worry I'll put in a good word for you with bape when he sees what you've done.
Also what do you mean you have nothing to live for? Wii Fit comes out in 5 days! At least then you won't have to be fat, too.
so gabby are you gonna be posting here as your mom from now on then
maybe if your entire family didn't deal in cryptic messages, you could have successfully talked your daughter out of climbing into the dryer.
Some would prefer you stop these actions, daughter of mine - know that those whom I mention are closer than you may think - and sometimes deeds are best delivered... through INACTION... to the greater benefit of the whole. Also, my good blouse is in there.
in other words, it's too bad aspergers is genetic or else you would have been able to help out
Suicide is a result of piss poor parenting.
It seems like it could be legit to me. Type Gabby Gaga into google and the first two results are from I-mockery.
So you think this is a haha? How dare you make such an off the cuff, ignorant comment such as this? You have no knowledge to back up your dismissive comments. You know nothing. You simply can't resist trying to be somebody. You certainly deserve to end your life in ignominy.
Have you no decency? I will not answer your indecent requests for details on the death of my daughter. Yes, I've seen the postings re my own suicide and a state of fatness and poor parenting. I agonize that I taught my Angel too well. Rest assured, I can't top 110 pounds. I don't care to eat or to live. This world holds no enticements for me. Gabby Gaga is forever, and you're not. Take that thought to your grave, which may be sooner than later.
My baby is an Angel now and there's nothing you can do about it. In short, you suck. Cyberspace has made Nancy, of Gidget Gein repute, the all knowing repository of knowledge.
Nancy posted a comment, following my daughter's death: she said that Gabby Gaga visited her, setting off timers and bells. Nancy said she felt Gabby's presence. Now I see postings around the net, saying that Nancy feels that Gabby is a fake. How shallow can you all be?
I will be tormented for the rest of my life. Consider, you arbiters of good parenting, that I have lost the most beautiful representation of life on earth. How can you? Have you no mercy in your hearts? This is no frivolous post.
I've seen the postings encouraging my own suicide. How stupid can you be? I will never dishonor my daughter. I no longer have that option. You should be so lucky.
i hope your are a character
this whole time I thought it said "mcr_mom" and I wondered how my chemical romance related to any of this shit. then I thought it was guitar woman.

1: Show me a priest that will admit that you can be an angel after committing suicide. She's in hell and you are dumb.
2: Are you saying that your daughter dishonored you by committing suicide?
She meant "she's an angel now" in that she put her corpse on top of her christmas tree.
I can't help but wonder if this person is serious and she's honestly dead. As irritating and pretentious as I found Gabby, it is sad if she's really dead and I do have sympathy for her parents. If I had known she was suicidal I would've encouraged her to get help and I certainly wouldn't have mocked her like I did, though I feel no guilt for doing so, as I simply was not aware that she had any mental health problems.
I think you guys should lay off. If there's even a remote chance that this really happened, you should stop immediately. Some things are simply not funny.
If you really are her mother, I suggest that you leave this site (as it certainly won't help your state of mind) and go see a grief counselor.
HALFTIME!
"Looks like I recalled wrong, folks! The players are in flawless form tonight! Still, it seems like a couple of the defensive positions are lagging. Will this hurt them later on? We'll see! Now, enjoy the halftime show consisting of Gabby Gaga performing a duet with Smokey Robinson."
I think if it really is her mom that she's getting exactly what she came here for - confirmation that we're evil, evil people and an opportunity to yell at us.
Wouldn't it be worse if we were caring and understanding? After all, that would mean it could have been her failing as a parent to work with her daughter in treating her mental condition - not a bunch of internet bullies who teased her into suicide.
If she's dead because she killed herself over our FEROCIOUSLY INSULTING INTERNET COMMENTS, then fuck her. My guess is something else was at play. Perhaps deep seated self-loathing. Hehehehe.
I don't give a damn about people like that? Why do they exist? To cause others misery?
It was YOUR DAUGHTER who decided to take her own life. NOT US. She chose to not deal with problems. She is not as beautiful as you have been lead to believe. How dare you come here and accuse us over destroying your daughter. I've got news for you, Miss. It takes a lot more than a few annoying message board posts to kill somebody. I know. I've tried. (read: Guitar Woman) Or maybe you're right. Maybe I'm just full of hate and my whole life has just revolved around hate and hating other people for the beautiful individuals that they are. OH GOD. I DON'T CARE TO LIVE IN THIS PLANE OF EXISTENCE ANY LONGER. FUCK YOU GUYS AND FUCK GHOSTS.
I doubt that its even really her mother anyway. Why would a grieving parent who came to take her anger out on us bother to put in an avatar? It doesn't make any sense.
That avatar's actually automatically given to every new user.
man this is just gabby and her experiment she's gunna be all "this was my experiment, i',m smater than you"
Post her obituary.
more like oBITCHuary
wait did someone make that joke in here already
I dunno. I had a friend who committed suicide, although I think he didn't mean to do it on purpose. I think he drank the antifreeze fully expecting to wake up in a mental hospital a few days later, which is what had always happened up till then. It wasn't like him to do something like that without being able to pop up and check everyone's reaction...but then, there you are, it did really happen.
I was the one who talked to the cops. So I knew for a fact that it had happened.
Few years later, some of his old friends were googling his name and found a forum he'd been on. There was a "where's so-and-so" post, so we went on to tell them he'd died. We were actually pretty shocked by the reaction...ranged from "I call bullshit" to demanding obits and pictures of his grave. Mentally, we were in different places...we were talking about a real friend who had died, and they were thinking of a forum "character", and the death was either one more funny thing that had happened in the character's story or they thought we were the guy come back to check their reactions to his death.
I guess it's so easy to do that sort of thing online that you're guilty until proven innocent.
Anyway, my inclination would be to not provoke this person because it could very easily be real, I've been on that side of it, and it sucks.
I don't even have a fingernail's worth of sympathy for people like that and I hope it is real.
i think a mother blaming an internet forum for her daughter's suicide is a teensy bit unjustified
you want to look for someone to blame, i'd look at oh i dunno the people responsible for instilling her morals and values
*cough cough*
Speaking as someone who has suffered from depression, I really don't think that its fair to blame the individual's parents for their suicide. Sure, in some cases a parent could have done more to prevent it, but it isn't always their fault.
that's part of what I was getting at - I don't agree that it would be her parents' fault if she killed herself, but it certainly isn't ours, either.She didn't seem to be explicitly blaming us, just ranting and raving at us for mocking her in this thread. I'm a bit curious as to how Gabby's mother would've even found the thread to begin with, however, seeing as Googling "Gabby Gaga" doesn't make it turn up.

I remember a semi-serious discussion (it may have been in this forum) about how to combat terrorism - one suggestion was to go up into the Ozarks or in the wilds of Montana, get a load of Hillbillies or Freemen, give them all free passage to Afghanistan or Pakistan, and tell them all that it's open season on terrorists. And they get to eat what they kill.
It would probably be a more effective plan than the one currently in deployment. Illegal, but effective. :(

Dr. Sonnet Ehlers has invented Rape-axe, a female device with jagged hooks that latch onto a man's penis during penetration.
The doctor is distributing 30,000 of these condoms in South Africa during this year's World Cup.
South Africa has one of the highest rape rates in the world, according to Human Rights Watch. It is also believed that 16 percent of the population is living with HIV.
"It hurts," Ehlers told CNN. "He cannot pee and walk when it's on. If he tries to remove it, it will clasp even tighter."
Rape-axe is inserted like a tampon and when embedded to a man the device can only be removed by a doctor.

I think it's made out of a stiff polymer, like polycarbonate, which is more rigid than latex. (and much more difficult to remove just with scissors.)

Well what I am saying is we didn't get to vote her in as PM, which is legal but not entirely reassuring. People thought that there was the chance of it happening some time in the future back when the election was still on in 07, but we were assured by the Labor party at the time that the person that was elected by "the Australian people" was going to be the Prime Minister that we got, rather than one selected by conspiring backbenchers at a later date. It did happen and it's a bit shit.
I think it was dumb from a political point of view as well, because it makes the Labor party look like big arseholes for ousting one of their own, when their major draw card in politics is the fact that they are the smaller arseholes out of the two major parties. Plus they always bagged the Liberal party out for having so many leadership changes, and always said theirs was the stable party.

Human Yellowbeard infection takes three main forms: pneumonic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumonic_plague), septicemic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Septicemic_plague), and the notorious bubonic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubonic_plague) plagues (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plague_%28disease%29).[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yersinia_pestis#cite_note-Sherris-0) All three forms are widely believed to have been responsible for a number of high-mortality epidemics (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epidemic) throughout human history, including the Plague of Justinian (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plague_of_Justinian) in 542 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/542) and the Black Death (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Death) that accounted for the death of at least one-third of the European (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europe) population between 1347 and 1353. More recently, Yellowbeard has gained attention as a possible biological

Our town's BP station just went out of business. Like, within the past 48 hours they went from in business to completely deserted.
I'm sure everyone showed them, except that people are probably unknowingly buying gas from a BP refinery at any one of their favorite stations.

Yes, what they're really doing is preventing a number of local people from making money providing a service to the community.
BP is really feeling the pinch from that one.

It always bugs me when people get it in their head that a company needs to pay for something because of what a few did. Sure, if you heavily penalize BP the CEO will likely get fired, but what of the thousands upon thousands of people they employ who will also suffer due to the backlash said punishment causes with either bankruptcy or massive layoffs?
Guess those people don't matter as long as we get revenge on one CEO or a few idiots right?
Why not do something revolutionary like prosecute the individuals responsible?

I have a relative who worked for a firm that worked for a BP refinery. I don't know how it went down everywhere, but this is what happened to him: when the spill happened, there was a sort of calm-before-the-storm. Then, when it came out that BP was responsible for the platform that was leaking, there was some sort of major corporate-level freakout and they began shedding all nonessential operations/personnel. This included my relative, who was working on a project that was completely unrelated to platforms or the spill in any way.
So my guess is that they're trying to figure out what they're going to do, and that it's somewhat frantic at BP corporate.
My opinion was that the firm's being let go was sort of a blessing in disguise...it's not exactly great PR to advertise an affiliation with BP anymore.

The infamous Westboro Baptist Church who actually think god hates things. Namely gays, the military, the USA and just about anything and everything that isnt a member of their church. Just a few weeks ago they came to my city and protested other Baptist and Catholic churches because they knew the church leaders, who they have never met, were evil and more concerned with greed than spreading the word of god. Anyway... Those of you going to comic-con do you plan on ignoring them? Or do you plan to protest their protest in your own way?

Protesting protesters is retarded. As far as I'm concerned, their power to affect policy is limited by their batshit craziness and their army of lawyers (which they all are) is well prepared to sue the shit out of anyone that would dare to spit on them.
They're ignored, as a result. I feel sorry for the guys at Comic-Con that'll slug them and get sued into oblivion.
Also, my views on free speech make their protests and speeches and ideals perfectly acceptable to me, so let 'em do what they want. If anyone tries to stop them, then they should be sued.

If they are hopefully that motorcycle gang who follows that church around to drown out their protests by revving their motorcycle engines goes to comic con too
EDIT: They won't though. A bit of research and I found the motorcycle gang's name. They are called The Patriot Guard Riders. The mainly attend funerals of military, police, firemen, and first responders.

Freedom of speech is a funny thing. To defend it means you have to defend all the nutcases who assemble peaceably to protest what they view to be an injustice, or demonstrate that they are the voice of reason.

And they are free to say what they want. That's fine and dandy.
They should not however, be free to be shielded from the reactions such vitriol will doubtlessly create.
Freedom of speech does not include freedom from responsibility for your own actions.
But I do find it ironic they claim such hateful thoughts about America that they do, and yet they are fine with hiding behind the freedom of speech thing while doing so.

Lest you be concerned about where I stand on the issue:
Yes, I would expect they would be bodyslammed by appropriately pissed off individuals, who would then be arrested and charged with assault. Then, in a perfect world, the defendants would be allowed to plea bargain down to a misdemeanor and fined $1.
