This is getting to be ridiculous. One day, and we're back to where we were: posts filled with bickering, snideness, and back biting. Enough already!!!
I have to get back to work, but I did want to add one thing: it is shameful that so many people who deem themselves "mature" & "adult" to Casperzlady's "childishness" keep on & on & on & on at her.
Here is what I have seen, repeatedly: Casperzlady posts inocuously on whatever topic attracts her attention. Then the digs begin. And continue. . .until she turns and snaps back at the people doing the "digging." Then we are treated to several more p[osts about how you are tired of *her* spite, *her* digs, *her* taunts.
Here's an idea: those of you who just can't stand Casperzlady for whatever reason & can hardly bear to see one of her posts on AW: put her on ignore. If ignore is broken, skip over her posts without reading them. Let's see some of that maturity you are bragging about.

I realize, with all the changes here in the last few days, that it's not possible to react immediately to every issue as it arises, but considering the interest that so many members have expressed in the matter of the "what waca said" post, I would think it to be in AW's best interest to address the issue sooner rather than later. I am diasppointed to see that AW does not seem to agree.
posted on December 10, 1999 01:32:43 PMCasperzlady, please tell me, which of my words you find "seething with personal attacks". "Peace?" "Love?" "Joy?" "Fascination?" "Clean?"
I don't "denie" anything...I don't know what that means. Please tell me. I did readily admit, and will again, to imitating your sig line, and your liberal use of smilies, a few nights ago, and on this particular thread. I knew quickly, however, that I could never measure up. So I stopped, saddened by my failure.
You say, "Don't talk in circles Beth just spit it out and let it count. Be accountable like the non anon poster says! Be Proud of what you say don't cover it up. Again, I hope to learn from you...which of my words or phrases do you find circuitous?? And it also distresses me that you do not feel that I am proud of or accountable for my posts. I thought I was.
Now, as for "the way I go"...umm, guys? Can I get a witness?
"Coach, I'm not sure I understood the conclusion you came to about the merits of the idea. Could you please elaborate for me? "
See the boxes at the top of the screen? They are advertising. See all the people who come here and say how bad it is? They are "target audience" for advertising.
Just like a remote control for television can change the channels, every one of the people here, no matter how much they may claim to like or dislike it here, has a mouse button and may go anywhere they want at any time they want. But they are here. Advertisers chase the target audience, not vice versa.
You may move the forums anyplace you want, you still won't have control of the mouse buttons.
Not too sad, at least for me. What would be a misery, is if I lost faith in the people I admire here. That, I haven't. This is just a joint. There are others.

Gailco what do you mean?
Bunniculas theory makes me proud of her/him because she/he spoke their mind in truth. I don't really see any of the people that are attacking me here and on other threads, posting to the Christmas tree thread. So am I lost or what? Please clue me in.
I really thought you and I had worked out our differences and I hope that still stands. I am asking a genuine question.
posted on December 10, 1999 01:54:52 PMCasperz: Bunnicula insinuated in his/her post that you were being picked on everywhere you went, even when your posts are benign. I disagree. You are not picked on and the Christmas tree thread is case in point.
The reaction of folks here now is that you have highly and directly insulted two posters and you are not accepting responsibility for it. In fact in my mind, a moderator left because of his mishandling of that situation and now we have a more serious problem of someone ditto'ing waca's words and moderation is conspicuously absent.
We are calling for moderation of your post and are curious why it is taking 2 days to say "what waca said" is okay or not okay.....
And personally, if you are trying to get along, I don't understand why you aren't deleting that waca post and apologizing to the two people.
I do not see any rudeness or nitpicking or whatever in what I have stated above. That's how I talk to everyone. If you find it rude because it hurts your feelings, then I can't help that. It is not meant to be rude.........you have a great opportunity to grow here....right here in this thread! If you want respect you must earn it. Here's your big chance!

actually she made it clear over in the moderators corner under one of the new topics that she isn't going to moderate untill she feels it is called for. (in so many words) And that she is still trying to catch up on the posts of past as others have requested of her. I think she will be here very soon with more info.
posted on December 10, 1999 02:04:14 PMGail I didn't say your posts were rude?! I didn't say that at all. I just asked what you meant by it. sheesh.
I will not appologize to either of them nor will I edit it out. I also will not swallow what the instigating posters are trying to say I meant or shove down my throat so to speak! That is just so wrong to ask of me knowing full well that I posted exactly what post I was talking about.
Sorry you and I are seemingly start to drift once again.

No, Brittney, I just think it's too bad it has to turn out this way.
A lot of folks extended their hand in friendship and, though I speak only for myself, I think many still would . . . if only . . .
I am tiring of this nonsense and, your protestations to the contrary, think the "what waca said" comment was beyond the pale and far worse than any insult ever aimed your way.

Gail - why is an opposing opinion considered "hit and run"? bunnicula said what he/she had to say and why should he/she have to stay around? It was a post and run, maybe, but not a "hit" and run (with its negative connotation).
Hellcat - would you stop with the sarcastic posts, please? They are not humorous - well, maybe to a few but please stop. They are the worst form of baiting.
I see nothing has changed. it is really sad. Everyone tells Casperzlady they are adults, then post like children. If you want her to learn to learn to be adult-like, there are few examples for her to follow here - so far Vicky has been the only one.
Please, Please stop baiting Casperzlady.

Please, Please stop baiting Casperzlady: Who is baiting Casperz? Do you consider my posts as bait?

Ummm Barb? Everyone? I am a part of this thread, very much a part. Care to show me my child like posts?
Your "opinion" could be interpreted as an insult. Is it?
posted on December 10, 1999 02:28:43 PM
Ahhh ok here it is.
Casperzlady says this to rhyno: "You never welcomed me untill some of the popular posters did so. And only because Bob asked them to. Boy that makes one feel special huh?"
Casperz, that night that the bong was being passed around. I was talking with rhyno via email we both more or less at the same time (crossed emails) talked about passing the bong to you.
Bob NEVER asked me to be kind to you, it came from our hearts little one. So please dont say that again.
