As a group moderator/forum admin for the past nine years, I am well aware of this sort of behaviour. I'd never actually heard it called that, before - so what did it mean?
A
flounce post is when one must proclaim that they are leaving a
community forever. These
attention whores are nearly as amusing as those who use "
deleting your LiveJournal" for attention. Rather than quietly leaving an LJ community, they feel they must leave a long ass, boring, nonsensical post explaining why they are so much more highly
evolved than anyone else in the community. Names may be named, events may be recalled, but they are, at essence, a nice, delicious whine. Like any good whine, flounces are varied in their
history,
maturity,
texture, quality, bouquet and
mouth feel, but all boil down to a subtle, inherent, and slightly
fruity expressiveness...![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
