I'm as far away from trailer park as you can get NickiG. Take that as you will... My point was that Plutosquared comes in all guns blazing and it's very dictatorial. Walk softly and carry a big stick is more appetising really methinks for a mod. The original mods here have it spot on. They are totally neutral.

Interesting... When the new forum opened it was only a matter of time... Observing, Watching.... Wow.... This is growth for LL... Branches may fall off, New buds may appear... Cannot resist change... I've had things to say so many times but I'm forced to observe all this... instead as energy.  It's all meant to be IP: Logged |

Loyalty means a lot to me. PS is loyal. As are all of my Mods. You can call that whatever you wish. But in this world loyalty barely exists anymore. I have to be able to trust my Mods. And I do. Another thing that's important to me is that people I associate with have a clear undestanding of reality. Unfortunately, I have failed in that regard with my girlfriends (ugh), but I try to surround myself with people who think rationally. The few who took jabs at me even after I explained what happened (answering their questions) totally ignored my answers and still slung the same mistruths they were already spewing. That indicates either an agenda or just lost touch with reality. One of the presumptions of science is that reality exists. We all have to start with this belief. And if it exists, it is both measurable and observable. If someone cannot see anything wrong with posting F UCK YOU RANDALL on all of my Forums, then that person is clearly (by mutual majority understanding) out of touch with the general concensus of reality. And no amount of explaining will suffice to remedy that. ------------------

I know. Television Without Pity, has very strict moderators. I was going to thank Randall for his response to me last night, but the thread was locked when I got up. I was wary of posting last night, and today, because he said that he was feeling ban-happy, and so many people were feeling sensitive - myself included. I'd been stressed all day, and I was concerned that my saying one thing that could be taken the wrong way - as happened right here with Wink - would result in my being banned. I know that ordinarily takes a lot to be banned, but last night felt different. My only issue with you was the name-calling and the finger-pointing (as a mod). I didn't see any growing mob at the FB group, there was virtually nothing about this site at all, and I remain unaware of anyone having each other on speed dial, unless that was *only* directed at Spanky and Purple (that's why I asked). Those of us in Ohio, who were on the FB group, were talking the other night, about meeting up somewhere. That's about it, talking about weight gain and loss, etc. Wink was there, although I don't know if she still is. She can see my comments on the status' and pages of mutual friends. And like I said: I posted here, as well, to be fair. I wasn't speaking out of turn, I was reposting here what I'd said elsewhere. People come and go, but I'm not partying because a few people I like - especially T - chose to leave. She speaks her mind and doesn't align herself with any single group; neither do I, actually - which is why I felt weird about being a part of a private group. I stayed, because I like the people.

I agree, SC! I'm not sweating it one bit. We are just growing and shedding our skin. Pruning branches is a must.Juni, you have a great memory. Thanks for that book, by the way. I love the illustrations, and I am in awe that this is Linda's Robert Brewer.  ------------------

I didn't mean it like that NickiG... just meant that l didn't call PS fraulein because l did or did not have german in me! She appears so authoritarian in her posts and this is the reason l said she was such.

Only three people were banned against their will (well, purple actually had to know she would be after that stunt). The other three asked to be (instead of just leaving--they had to grab a big bowl of drama on their way out). T is still registered. She has huffed and puffed and left about a dozen times before (or more). I knew we were due for another cleansing, because things were too peaceful. But it's all good. It's happened a hundred times and will happen a hundred more in the next decade. Once you've fought a grizzly toe-to-toe, you just don't tremble when a chihuahua nips at your heels.------------------

well i missed the actual argument and so much has been deleted that it's hard to figure what happened..but reverting to the "family" model yes families have fights but just because someone in a rage says a lot of nasty things doesn't mean they need to be shut out permanently. in my family, mine is the first generation where no one has refused to speak to anyone else for years...partly because i insist that no matter how chalk and cheese people may feel, they are kin and that counts. i would say if purple plastered rage and obscenities all over the board she was making SURE she would get banned! whatever other motive could there be? it has been apparent to me since i first joined that some people here connect away from the board. that is their prerogative. NO ONE likes EVERYONE equally, no matter how ideal that might seem to some. that doesn't mean they are discussing others here "behind their backs" or even discussing them at all... arguments are a fact of life, and on an internationally attended forum - well let's just say there is another board i go to that has tolerated a petty, belittling member for years. people just ignore them...or if you want to get into a knockdown-dragout, you are free to do so. no one comes in guns blazing saying hey! that's not okay! in fact i made the mistake of trying to wave a red cloth in front of this person who tends to pick on one particular, not very articulate person, and the fight went on...until i cut it out on my side. i guess what i'm trying to say is that if people WILL butt heads, they are choosing to do so, and to complain when you have engaged someone's nastiness is mostly useless. however i have also seen people jumping on others who were just minding their own business. this i don't like but AGAIN, walking away is one SUREFIRE way to end an argument...

loyalty means a lot to me too, randall. but if i may be so bold, as a capricorn it seems very strange to me that you would be calling someone "loyal" who has only been here a few months, while suggesting (by implication) that others are not...? it takes me a lot longer to judge someone's loyalty, even people i live and work with...this is NOT meant to be a critique of PS, just of the character assessment?

OH I am SO sick of my puter deleting my replies before I can post them..UGG!!Anyway... teasel none of what I posted was about you...honestly. I really don't remember who posted what on the "LL Babes" group. There were a couple of posts in general that touched a nerve, so yes I left the group but didn't announce it. Someone posted something about the mods not measuring up to the old mods...or something like that. So yes, I took that personal. Maybe I shouldn't have. I will admit that I can be over sensative sometimes... damn Cancer moon.
Someone posted that there were certain people leaving the FB group simply because they were loyal to Randall...  You have to admit there were (and is) a lot of backstabbing going on there. I am not two faced and don't wish to be a part of something like that. With me you get what you get. I'm not going on here saying I support Randall then to turn around and say the opposite there... It just didn't feel right being there. Anyway, hope that cleared that up.... IP: Logged |

Personally I don't see the difference in having a FB group and the people who chat on MSN, email, myspace... etc.People will chat, that is the way it is.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion.  There are LL members who have visited each other, who call each other, who text each other. It's hard to fathom that the subject of LL never comes up in conversation. IP: Logged |

Loyalty has nothing to do with time. Either you are or you're not. Loyalty can only be assertained in a crisis. She has passed that test. There are people who have been here for years who at the opportunity relish at the thought of attacking what they think is an injured animal. Is that loyalty? I think not. I know loyalty when I see it. And many others are loyal also. I am just mentioning PS, since she is the object ot the current attention. IP: Logged |

Absolutely Gypsee..I wasnt saying that people shouldnt express their opinions. It just felt like there was back talking and bad talking LL which happens to be a place I love.
It just struck a nerve. IP: Logged |

I understand that Wink. I bet if we were to poll LL members, a considerable amount of them would say that something is striking a nerve with them these days... be it one thing or another.It's just one of those weird times. The only way past it, is through it. IP: Logged |
