Though you have posted that way to others... and have been stared down by every reader of that thread for trying it, not just the three who lined up against you then.

Your... difficulties... with hoplophobia should be kept in mind, and the terrible consequences of empowering hoplophobia in the political sphere understood. Whatever Radar's sins, hoplophobia was not one of them. I've never suffered it either, and Merc and Classic are reliably immune to it also, as is Griff, I think.

Somebody pass me the popcorn and the shaker cheese.

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.

I'm not insulted by childish attacks. I took it for what is what and laughed.

Still laughing that you stand by it.

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.'

[lumberjim]

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.

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.

well, that's one way of seeing it I suppose.

[Aliantha]

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.

You don't get to be the mediator and the arsehole Dana.

Choose one or the other.

I can't tell you how to post but you can tell me?
I see how that works

I apologise for being rude. I still think you should give it a rest.


Just my opinion like. I just dont see much point in all this martyrdom.

[Aliantha]

Honestly Dana, my grievance is not against you, and I'd rather not have you take offence at anything I post, but you can't try to be peacemaker in one post and then the very next tell me to fuck off...can you? That was all I meant. There's no need for any apology.

I don't really see it as martyrdom. I'm not putting myself on a block to have my head chopped off. It's just a case of the same people doing the same thing and it irritates me. I don't think it's fair and I hold myself still most of the time, but this thread is going on and on, and nothing is going to change. People will just do what they do and others will let it happen. I guess everyone sees things differently, and that's what makes the world go around, but I am honestly angry that a small group have made it less enjoyable for me to visit one of my favourite places on the net.

[DanaC]

I don't 'always' post critically of you in this sort of thread. I posted on this occasion because I disagreed with what you said, and was bemused and annoyed by it.

You seemed, to me, to be just causing trouble for shits and giggles.

And you don't think it is dismissive to simply lump my opinion in to mere factionalism?

[TheMercenary]

@ jim. Love that dude.

[Griff]

Our two friends wrecked another potentially interesting thread. I will avoid the Cellar politics forum for a while. You win Remurk.
