Snobbery in the Lounge?

[Story]

Snobbery is beneath me.

Did you at least buy Snobbery dinner first? [huh]

Who are "we"? the royal we?
Does "not amused" mean angry?

Just like we need not discuss a tired, grouchy, hungry, or overtalkative Lounger, we need not point fingers and nit pick aspects of people's personalities." Feraud quote

I hear you in regards pointing fingers and nit picking. I tried to be careful and avoid that by focusing on behaviors not personalities or motives.

What I'm trying to get at is whether there is such a "vibe" or shared attitude here that may be undesirable. As I said, I have not found that this specific issues has ever been discussed here. Is it a taboo subject? People cannot improve if the are unaware.

Um, I don't really understnad why you are bringing it up. If you feel you are the victim of snobbery, say so and we ca respond and tell you we didn't mean to. if you feel someone is beign treated snobbily, stand up for them and be nice to them. Otherwise, why are we discussiong it.

I certainly have my attitudes about what people like, and their tastes, but i tend to keep it ot myself. My problem, really, not theirs.

lol lol lol lol lol
Thanks, excuse me while I clean the tea off of my monitor.


The bunny however, looks like a snob.

ShortClare & AllanC humor works!!!

Such a vibe may exist anywhere. Who is to judge it is undesirable?
There are more productive things to discuss at the Lounge than personality issues.

As for improvement...who wants to step up into the spotlight and admit they are a flawed snob and have total strangers reform them?

Most anyone who attends a 13 step type meeting.

Feraud, we, that is each one of us individually are to judge if its undesirable or not. Look, If someone calls me a snob I first look in myself if its true. I certainly don't want to carry that baggage around. And yes I've been called a patronizing snob and I'll step into the spotlight.

But also if I find someone a snob I want them to know that's how I feel so they can respect my feelings. I don't want them, say, to be able to put people down in a public place like here and not be worried about feedback. That's like watching a bully picking on someone and not doing anything.

Dehrmann1, thanks for your well reasoned response

Or is the lounge an association of snobs?

DING DING DING! Here we are, discussing the finer points of vintage dressing, etiquette, and how everyone who dresses like a regular person is way worse than we are. I mean, I can call a spade a spade, and I hope other Loungers can too. This is why we flock together. lol

Hmmm. I've heard that somewhere before.

Hmmm. I've heard that somewhere before.

Snobbery must be really "game"......or did you both buy 'er dinner first?

 

[scotrace]

Don't be silly.

You and your undershirt should go back to duct taping your fully depreciated Pontiac. Now hush.

 

[Big Man]

Hmmm. I've heard that somewhere before.

It's deja vu all over again.

"You and your undershirt should go back to duct taping your fully depreciated Pontiac. Now hush." Yah, you may dress well, but don't tell me what to do.

My dear People,
Talk about a ridiculous topic for a thread. Is this supposed to draw out the folks who are allegedly 'snobby'? Or is it a guilt trip so that the rest of us humble (yet well dressed) Lounge members may rub our hands together in glee at the thought of them crying in their Corn Flakes over how they've offended one or two people? I believe we are all here for two or three simple reasons.

1) To consult and share interests in vintage fashion and lifestyle with like-minded people
2) To reminisce over the days when what is currently 'vintage fashion and lifestyle' was the latest and greatest thing since sliced bread
3) TO SHOW OFF when we've achieved our goal(s) in this hobby

Snobby - perhaps. Personally, I think it's only snobbery when a second party takes it as such. When I show a picture of my latest hat, and someone else says, "Oh, yeah, well look at MINE!", I congratulate and compliment them. I would only take offense if I weren't secure with my own possessions or achievements. That leads me to believe that it is merely the offended person's own insecurities that bring us to such a low that we have to have a conversation about 'snobbery'! Taking offense, in and of itself, is a snobby attitude!

My $0.02.
