Again I echo Dana - you assume we are part of the Treehouse Club.

No.

We are part of this community.
You have completely ignored everything else I have written.
That disappoints me.
What? Should I name the few Dwellars I have a beef with? Should I stir up shit so that you realise I'm not part of a clique?

I'm not in any kind of Spex Hate Group. In any way, shape or form.
I'm not in any kind of LJ Love Group. Ditto above.
And I certainly don't conform to any "typical" Dwellar views.

Spex you are challenging what I love about this place.
Individuals, with very different views, able to air those without personal spite.
I want you to continue as a Dwellar. I will miss you if you don't. And yes, I apply the same standards to Merc et al. You can't control his posts, but you can control yours.

OKAY. This is the end.
No more from me.

SHUSH.

Jim...I said I thought you were well-intentioned and objective for the most part. I was referring to the link from BigV, but you are correct, it was not in the form of a question....and putting, V aside, HM's follow up post, which raised the question of objectivity.

Thanks for your effort. I mean it. For the most part, it was helpful and constructive...., despite the few laughable (IM0) posts by a few.

If I were UT, I would close the discussion and tell us all to move on.

lol


For one horrible, terrifying moment, I thought you'd rickrolled me :p

Fixed it.

I post...therefore, I am.

I don't think BigV ever left to go to anywhere. I believe, that like myself, he simply found it impossible to post in this place without a number of regular dwellars jumping all over his posts and accusing him of particular biases. There are plenty of semi regular posters who don't post much because some people around here make it unpleasant to be here in any real way.

To those people, and obviously you know who you are, I suggest you'd find things a lot more interesting around here if the environment fostered newcommers who actually might feel welcome.

As to the whole incident with PD. Well, I have some pretty strong opinions on who was really in the wrong there, but they're not popular opinions with the people who seem to think they run this place, so I'm not even going to bother.

Oh yeah, and before you decide to have your usual little dog pile, let me get in first.

Just fuck off. You suck and I don't like you, so nothing you have to say matters to me.

Well that's helpful Ali.

*shakes head*

This thread is descending rapidly again. FFs close it before something explodes.

I don't care if it's helpful Dana. My point is it's the same group of people trying to tell everyone else how to behave around here, and anyone who disagrees is turned into some kind of pariah.

I'm sorry if you happen to be friends with that group. My comments are not directed at you, but I refuse to have you or anyone else tell me when my opinion is valid or 'helpful'.

Do not lock this thread.

I withdraw neither comment -I had just come back from a week's camp with 4 kids diagnosed on that scale. Your posts made it seem like I was still there. That you should take it as an insult is more telling than anything else. Those kids are all great (well 3.5 of them are at least) -but hard work and very repetative with little comprehension when you try to explain hoew their behaviour affect people socially.

And I love the phrase professional dingleberry, thanks for reminding me. I must save it for the next one I meet IRL.

Furthermore/While I'm at it, BigV has a history of (a) crapping all over the board (b) coming heroically to the defence of any poster who makes it to the intolerably irritating point and causes someone to snap and tell it like it is (c) gunning for me at every opportunity. That's why I don't bother to read the majority of his posts, I don't have time for his little obsessions, don't care what he calls me ofr thinks of me, and certainly have no respect for his opinion on board matters (although I do occasionally gain amusement from his coming back here playing the whiter-than-white knight in shining armor -and calling others hypocrites).

As for the backstabbing thing.... it's only backstabbing if you pretend to like somone to their face. So why spexxvet should be obsessed with it is totally beyond me. ;)

It has nothing to do with who I am, or am not, friends with.

I just thought that this thread seemed to be heading towards something vaguely useful/peaceful/helpful and now we are back to 'Fuck off I don't care.'

oh, now here's a shocker.

the thread looks as if it's in danger of resolving into an amicable resolution....and who turns up?

why it's aliantha~! what a surprise!

and shockingly enough, she's trying to turn the whole thing into her very own pity party!

this NEVER happens!

except for like... the last 3 or 4 times....
christ.

It might have been helpful to some, but from my perspective, it's just more of the same. I don't see too many of the people complaining being the ones that engage much (if at all) with the ones they're complaining about.

Ever since I joined this place, there's always been at least one and usually more people who prefer to post in politics and current events who are disliked and ridiculed by some of the other regular posters here. What's the difference now? Nothing from what I can see. It's just the same people complaining about the same thing. BooHoo! Poor them. It's terrible how people are so mean to them and don't consider how THEY might feel about what's being posted.

FFS! Give me a break.

Grow up!

Oh fuck off Ali. Give it a rest.

Oh yeah, and like I didn't expect to see this post. As per usual, I'm not allowed to consider the situation and then post something. Oh no...I should post at a time that's convenient to lumberjim and his entourage.

This is the real reason I've chosen to post now.

I've sat here and read this thread for several days without saying much, and the post I made earlier in this thread went unremarked. The fact is, you're gradually getting to have your own little go at all the people you don't like here, as per usual, and you expect everyone to just sit back and watch it happen.

Well, I don't happen to agree with your point of view on most things, and I certainly don't now. You've made my time here virtually intollerable because i never know when you're going to jump on something I post and make it personal, just like you do to anyone else who disagrees with you. I'm fucking sick to the back teeth of it, and so are a lot of others.

You don't own this place, and you don't make it better. You just post here like everyone else. This is not your site. You don't get to call the shots.
