Causing Trouble

I occasionally say something sensible; I replied to your post. But then the smilies hit...(and now I want Smarties, darn it!), sorry Fiona :(

That's the thing with posts on forums (and texts, and emails :rolleyes:), they are open to interpretation.

I read BB's post and as I've never seen her be anything but reasonable before (even when she first arrived, ironically after a thread featuring her had been posted from another forum...) I thought, "Ouch, she must be feeling so hurt and angry to say that." :(

I agree (although only came across BB a couple of times)

But in all honesty (being that I read the threads & kick-offs) I could totally understand why she wrote the post she did - Im not one to get bothered usually, but actually found what some said about her both horrifying and upsetting. I also actually thought that HHO looked like a pretty nasty bunch on the other forum

I wouldnt mind, but IMHO there was nothing derogatory written just a reasonable discussion :o

But hey-ho :rolleyes:


On another note - thanks for the link to the smileys - maybe I'll start using them so my posts are less boring :cool:
 
Ach, russianhorse your posts aren't boring! (I can't quote on this thing.) No, we didn't come across well, my first comment over there was a tad sharp. I don't usually snap at people, but the whole thing of anyone posting pictures of anyone else for opinions without permission has gotten really old. It just seemed as if Big Ben was well, stirring. And she was in breach of their forum rules by posting what she did too.

Still she has been getting a lot of flack over here herself lately, including people posting pictures, etc. I spoke up for her during that. I guess seeing her then do the same to someone else just ticked me off a bit. I was thinking "why do that after it was done to you?"

I will go back to the sub-thread now. I'm not good with people.

On a serious note

BB was never, in any of the posts I've ever read by her, anything other than reasonable and pleasant. Dont know what was said to her on the other forum but I feel it's a shame she's gone. :(

Well I posted a sensible comment (all words too :eek:) a short while ago and it got instantly buried under animated smilies. :mad:

It's like trying to say something sane to a classroom full of hyper-active pre-schoolers who have got their hands on a crate of Smarties. :p





:D:D:D

What? Did someone say something, I couldn't hear, maybe I was playing too loud...

But this thread could be written with the help of smilies, BB did a

I agree. I think it was an error of judgement posting a thread from here onto another forum, which invited others to comment on Christmas Sparkles's photos/film.

However, I do think there was an overreaction, I gather the comments made by HHO member(s) on that forum were personal and insulting towards her, hence BB's angry post here. It's all very unpleasant and I do hope she will be back.
 
There were unpleasant things said, and photos posted of Big Ben herself. A rather nasty argument then erupted, which apparently spilled over onto here too. I would hope that she comes back, but echo another poster in wondering what Christmas Sparkles is thinking about it all! Her thread about baby coblet ended up disappearing too, I think.

Why can't we all just get along? Seriously, that makes serious meltdowns on four separate forums in as many months (different people involved); the internet is meant to be fun and useful, not some kind of cyber ampitheatre!

who keeps trying to act as normal despite doctor's advice! He's hurt his spine, and is on Tylex. He doesn't like my calling the situation "boxrest"...

<glares at sleepy husband>
 
I did not participate in the offending threads (and I only read Big Ben's thread about Christmas Sparkle), but I'm not perfect, I've had to apologise now and then over misunderstandings on the internet, and there is probably times where I've unknowingly offended some more persons, but I can only try to learn, try to not do the same mistakes twice and try to keep my honesty on a civil level.

, personally I have a tendency to say that children are house-broken/house-trained when they stop wearing a nappy.

 
Arizahn - your current posts are brilliant! Thanks for the eccentricity, humour and complete removal from reality. Difficult day, and you have improved it! ;)
 
I told him I was going to insure him with Petplan...he was not best amused. Says he wants KBIS instead. He's too good at this game!
<waves gratefully for the vibes>
