Why are some members of this site allowed to get away with persistently being vile, pushing an agenda, defending the indefensible, upsetting other members, twisting versions of events and generally being nasty, and they do not get banned?

Not about any one particular poster, but I have noticed that some stronger "personalities" on here seem to be Teflon coated.

Why is this?

Why do the owners of this site want that kind of vile poster and do not seem to care about the number of truly decent kind posters who are being upset and driven off the site?

I was very, very lucky. My gran bought a full decorated sindy townhouse from a doctor at work whose daughter had grown out of it and sold it to her for pennies. It was great. The things that stuck out were the mahogany dining table and chairs, the hostess trolley, the peas and carrots, the kings cutlery in silver plastic, the four poster bed and the three storey town house with an external elevator. It also had a red range rover with beige seats inside. It was absolutely fucking marvellous, and I started to lose/break things on Boxing Day, so my gran said it was too good to play with and put it in the attic. Sad

Wow, Funnys, I'm suitably impressed by your fire. Was looking at the photos online this evening, as we are thinking of coming over for a holiday.

That doesn't actually make sense does it? We weren't hoping to book a holiday in the gas holder, to be honest, so I don't really know what I was worried about.

usualsuspect · 04/07/2012 23:08

Have you had drama funnys ,were you evacuated to the local community centre?

Hully to be fair I don't like sharing unexpectedly. Are you sure he wasn't just a dipso?

Tortington · 04/07/2012 23:09

i had a sindy and a sindy wardrobe and chair my nan got from a jumble sale.

i left it out in the living room once

my mum binned it in some fit of fucked up ness and broke my sindy wardrobe

FunnysInLaJardin · 04/07/2012 23:10

I know Cake twas vair impressive. Do come to Jersey, just don't stay on St Saviours Road incase it is still smouldering. Stick to St Clement and the like. A holiday in the actual gas holder would be a tad disappointing I suspect. Bit dark and smelly.

IamtheZombie · 04/07/2012 23:12

Sorry, Hath. Blush

FunnysInLaJardin · 04/07/2012 23:13

well nearly usual. Folk living in town were, however I legged it to the 'safe' corner of the island once I had finished work. The traffic was awful. How's the flooding? It's like the end of the world. Fire, flood and plagues of flies etc

CakeistheAnswer · 04/07/2012 23:13

I kept my Sindy horse for decades, hoping that one day there would be DCs to love it like I did.

It got damaged in storage. DH threw it away.

hathorisaskingaquestion · 04/07/2012 23:14

Is it a 4-oven? Because if it is I will be even more Envy and is it solid or oil? Or electric? Had a solid Rayburn, then an oil aga and I am bereft I tell you. Bereft.

I miss that fucking cooker much much more than I miss the exH Grin

I loved my sindy doll. She was such a miserable looking cow and had strangely 60s hair like a dolly bird actress in Up The Junction.

lisaro · 04/07/2012 23:18

funnys the Gorey fete always makes me laugh. BTW your island is beautiful.

Sorry funnys.

TuftyFinch · 04/07/2012 23:19

Oh, GetOrf and Custardo that's awful. Shall I buy you one each on ebay? I would. It'a not the same but the dog ate all of my presents one christmas eve. Each and every one.
100 people Hathor? You could teach the buffet train people a trick or two.
Holidays in gas holders are coming into fashion. I know I sound like my grandma but it's the new glamping. So I'm told.
I'm still upset about the Sindy's.

hathorisaskingaquestion · 04/07/2012 23:20

My brother bit my tiny tears big toe off.

Only read up to MNHQ's response.

When I reported a poster for a very nasty and disturbing post, they told me they were looking into the poster, so I do believe they take it seriously.

They just moderate with a light touch which I love, even if it means I don't always get the answer I want.

TuftyFinch · 04/07/2012 23:22

My sister used to kidnap my teddies and hold them to ransom. If I didn't do what she said she'd pull their heads off.

GetOrfMoiiLand · 04/07/2012 23:24

What the hell are gas holders ffs? Grin

I was thrilled when I had a dd because I thought she would love dolls and I could relive my childhood and get great big dolls houses. But dd didn't like her barbie dolls and they used to live naked in a bucket in the bathroom with their legs and arms yanked off.

I had to get her skalextrics and toy hammers. Still disappointed now.

IamtheZombie · 04/07/2012 23:24

It's only a 2 oven, Hath. Oil fired. Zombie coveted (COVETED she tells you!) a 4 oven but that was a few centimetres too wide to fit into the chimney breast.

24HourPARDyPerson · 04/07/2012 23:24

Up The Junction

Now that was a seriously shocking piece of literature, which I found as a teen in my parents bookcase.
It stuck with me, 20 years later, and I quote

'I was the youngest bride in Battersea. 15 years old I was when I 'ad 'im' - half an hour later was sitting up in the bed sucking on a lollipop.'

The dropped aitches may not be strictly verbatim. But they feel so right

lisaro · 04/07/2012 23:24

I only just realised that the time one of my brothers took me to a toy shop and said 'pick' he'd still been at uni. The reason is that it's such a big risk for someone on a budget. Aw I still love him and especially his gorgeous kids.

GetOrfMoiiLand · 04/07/2012 23:24

I used to play monoploy with my sindy, two teddy bears and a tiny tears. I was always the hat and I always won.
