Go to site stuff her thread is 'out of control'.

StillStayingClassySanDiego · 08/08/2015 08:03

They are banned.

Quite creepy really.

cleanindahouse · 08/08/2015 08:03

Found it.

To be honest, i do agree with part of what is said about new users. There is sometimes a bit of a vibe of "sigh. She's new. She doesn't understand the rules". Which, in my experience can put you right off. It's like a telling off for something you had no idea about. If a newbie starts a thread that's been done to death, just ignore it, don't scold them.

The rest of it though, it's a bit batshit. I'm waiting on baited breath for it all to hit the papers Hmm

Well I could think of something witty or clever to say, but you'd all know that I'm just marking my place in case of more bonkers antics, so I might as well just be upfront.

StillStayingClassySanDiego · 08/08/2015 08:11

I wonder if he/she is going to be back still in Avenger mode or cringing into a full fat coke Wink and bacon bap to absorb last night's gin.

StillStayingClassySanDiego · 08/08/2015 08:16

HQ can delete personal attacks if they're reported, that's a given fact.

Sarcastic and snippy replies to perceived new users are mean but hardly grounds for Olivia/Rowan/Iona/Becca to step in to administer a telling off.

cleanindahouse · 08/08/2015 08:19

I got a few telling offs when i was new. Actually i've had a few telling offs when i wasn't new.

msgrinch · 08/08/2015 08:24

I agree it is creepy.

Oh shit! Does it sound like i'm saying that? I'm really not.

usualsuspect333 · 08/08/2015 08:36

I went to bed and missed crusty being all weird and vigilante like.

I'm awaiting attack of the blogs!

StillStayingClassySanDiego · 08/08/2015 08:38

I've read them,they were weird statements from colander/crusty.

I was being light hearted dixie asking you if you were mean to newbies.

StillStayingClassySanDiego · 08/08/2015 08:41

Oi Usual, morning.

I never have staying power to mn late at night , I'm flat out by 11. I admire the staying power of early hours posters

cleanindahouse · 08/08/2015 08:41

My mean to newbies comment was in no way related to dixie or anyone else on this thread.

There will always be some forum users who are dicks to newbies. That's because they are dicks, and dicks using the Internet is hardly a new phenonomen. That's not what happened to crusts/colundar.

cleanindahouse · 08/08/2015 08:44

I'm actually waiting for my comment to be deleted from the first thread. I think i might have been a bit mean. I wasn't the first to say it, but mine seemed to be the one that kicked it off.

msgrinch · 08/08/2015 08:45

I had a little chuckle when she told me to go back to bed.

cleanindahouse · 08/08/2015 08:46

No, i know that's not what happened to crusts, it's just one of the points she made in one of the threads that i agreed with.

usualsuspect333 · 08/08/2015 08:46

I wonder who else she was? She wasn't a fan of capital letters so shouldnt be too hard to spot her.
