SOD would like to cordially welcome you to yet another installment of BOM.

We define BITCH OF THE MONTH as anyone, irritating enough to warrant a rant of Homeric proportions: male, female, or whatever.

Okay BOM groupies, SOD is here to lay the smackdown on something that has become an epidemic on boards of Bowienet. This month’s BOM is none other that THE OBSESSIVE KARMA GIVERS, whom SOD has officially renamed KARMA TROLLS.

Now SOD has nothing against you giving neggie karma to people who post things you find offensive, that’s what it’s all about baby… but when small-minded fackers just go around giving neggies to people solely based on the fact that they don’t like the poster, that is about as twatty as it gets.

That is, unless you are the kind of twatty person who doesn’t cover your mouth when you cough, or honestly believe that no one can see you when you pick your nose while driving...

These neggie karma people actually believe that throwing mad negative karma around genuinely hurts the people they neggie. This is not the case. People have more sense than that. Everyone on Bowienet can see that if an intelligent post has been lambasted, that the karma troll has been at it again. The only person who looks like an idiot is you, the neggie giver.

And while SOD is on the subject, if you are one of those people that need more than one Bnet account, please do us all a favour and not use them to bolster yourself with good karma. Do you know how bad it looks to see a new post on a board, and within nanoseconds there are SIX positive points up? Everyone knows it’s you, so what’s the sense in that? It is almost as bad as being a neggie karma addict.

That is why your Sisteurs felt the need to create an all-encompassing term for the Karma Epidemic. Hence the term KARMA TROLL was born. 

A karma troll is a person who uses his/her karma ability to either senselessly neggie people they have a beef with, or a person that is so insecure they have to pozzie their every post in order to make themselves look good.

Just imagine if you used that karma time constructively. You could build a house out of toothpicks! You could read a book (SOD highly recommends Valley of the Dolls, if you’re looking for a good one). You could go search for the Puerto Rican Goat Monster, Chupacabras (yea, sure it’s been done before, but it is such a COOL monster)! Well, you get the idea.

So join your Sisteurs in welcoming the first BOM of 2001:
