To wonder why EatShitDerek aka FuckitBucket has been banned?

[Arsenic]

hands over hoard of ill-gotten gains to Zing

I think probably mostly people are fond of ESD because she comes across as very genuine and isn't a pretentious goady uppity twat.

Can I come to the party? I've got a pack of artisan beers left over from Xmas.

For the record, EatShitDerek, as SP, was subject to the most vicious, appalling piece of Impersonation Trolling I have ever seen, involving the supposed death of her small child.

She came back from that horror and continues to give and entertain on MN. I don't like seeing her or anyone else goaded.

There's a difference between stating an opinion and getting personal.

All through the thread ESD was telling Ant that her opinion is fine but she needs to accept that people parent differently.

It was her that got personal. Then Psip got offended on Ants behalf and then JuliaDream got offended on Psips behalf!

Yes, that was awful, LineRunner. Scary that that could happen and the Police not be able to do anything to trace it

I only ever get offended on my behalf

And then we all got called sock puppets.

, Pacific. I shall never feel offended for you ever again.

Oh my, I am now truly glad that I was not on that fred - sounds unpleasant all round.

I suppose it does seem awful when the polarised views of it get dragged out and inflated, that's the way it usually happens.
Add in a Ban/Suspension and the Woe Quotient tends to get ramped up.

what do you expect when all three people arguing with her had only a couple of days posting history under those names.

Even i would have suggested something smelled Fishy...

Throw in a bit of Advanced Search Paranoia too

Notice the people defending her breaking the rules are some of the same people who are frightfully rude and do their best to de-rail others threads if they have a grudge about the op. Glass houses.

loads of people AS if they smell a fish, I wouldn't say it was necessarioly paranoid to do so, or to do some chin scratching over the results.

its a storm in teacup IMO. Cardinal rule of MN, dont tell people to fuck off. if she has been warned before and then did it again then a suspension will happen. And I know how tempting it is to tell people to fuck off on here. She will survive. And probably enjoy extra popularity.

Well, for instance, DinoMight, I don't recall seeing you around before this thread. What good would it do me to AS you and see how many posts you'd made and how far back? Still wouldn't have a scooby who you 'were'.

Sorry to use you as an example, but do you see what I mean?

Pru

you don't need to tell me anything. and I really don't feel the need to explain myself about what I do or d9 not understand

your last post addressed to me sounds patronising. no need for that.

I'm sorry you saw it that way, Zing. I just can't understand why you are unable to consider any opposing viewpoints and just see very basic Black/White, Good/Bad, Friend Enemy.

No matter, it shan't trouble me

I'm sorry you saw it that way, Zing. I just can't understand why you are unable to consider any opposing viewpoints and just see very basic Black/White, Good/Bad, Friend Enemy.

There's an entertaining irony in there somewhere

pru I've been around years but not under this name for all that long, no, true.

But if, for example, I'd appeared to be a goady twat and you had ASd me you would see it wasn't my only thread I'd posted on, and certainly not the first day I was under this name.

Where as the alleged goaders in this case, some were shiny and new under that name that day.

That was a bit fishy to me.

Dunno why, Arsenic. People are people and some people on the internet can be twats sometimes.
