well done anyway Grin

It wasn't easy JT!! But it was driving me mad too! Grin

Piffle · 05/05/2006 21:35

Quite, I did not always agree with Aloha, but she had an inimitably eloquent ability to express herself, often involved in contentious issue ddebates, always opinionated BUT always fair and factual.
I did feel in that debate that it was both or neither and I do feel there was provocation beyond the norm.

JoolsToo · 05/05/2006 21:35

how did you find that thread? I've tried and failed!

bubble99 · 05/05/2006 21:34

I miss her. Sad

I believe the thing heated up with Saadia.

peacedove is unfailingly polite, I've always found.

Blandmum · 05/05/2006 21:27

I don't think it was PD (and goodness knows I have had enough spats with him) it was a woman poster IIRC, who accused Aloha of being racist. One of her posts was deleted (for swearing) and with the accusation that left it looking (eroniously IMHO) as if aloha had been racist.

I was expecting PD to pop up when the 9-11 guy was sentenced...

Greensleeves · 05/05/2006 21:26

nanneh called me a fascist a couple of days later. The woman was a loon.Grin

tamum · 05/05/2006 21:25

Sorry Greensleeves, cross-posted. That's right.

Piffle · 05/05/2006 21:25

yep GS [nods emphatically]

tamum · 05/05/2006 21:25

It was definitely on the peacedove thread, but maybe someone else was involved. I thought it was peacdove who called her racist, I must say.

Greensleeves · 05/05/2006 21:24

It was nanneh - she called Aloa a racist, without justification IMO. Aloha retaliated, and MNHQ deleted Aloha's post because it contained offensive language. They allowed nanneh's accusation of racism to remain, however, which made it look as though Aloha had made racist remarks.

I would have left in her position too - it was pretty appalling.

JanH · 05/05/2006 21:23

AFAIK - I wasn't here at the time - posts which called her racist were left on the thread but hers in response (which were pretty sweary, but then she was very angry) were removed.

If the "racist" ones, or the whole thread, had been pulled she would have been OK.

I miss her too Sad

JoolsToo · 05/05/2006 21:20

I don't think the relevant exchange was with pd though

Socci · 05/05/2006 21:19

nanneh?

tamum · 05/05/2006 21:18

I think she went because on the thread with peacedove she had a post deleted by MN Towers, but worse (maybe slightly less sweary) posts were left. I agree with sobernow, it was on a point of principle, not just some random row.
