I won't follow the herd any more...

I remember Ron's thread also. I don't recall a response to it. Although most of the time I don't go back far enough.

I wonder what Ron does when he has to scratch his nose. It's buried pretty far up there.

It was not a direct response to the thread. It was more of a general post a couple of days later thanking him for his contributions to the board. When it came out my first thought was that his most recent contribution was one bashing Protein Shakes, Wendell, and I think some other guy named Brock.

Wow, Chelle! You are really trying to analyze Lauren's psyche....but cannot offer any insight into the behavior of "good friend's" . The friendships made through years of OH must not offer much insight but you sure are good with strangers!

I've chatted with Lauren both here and OH for some time. She's not a stranger to me, and I apologize if I took unwanted liberties.

[Chelle B 0]

Yep, that's what I thought, too.

My apologies, Lauren. I did not mean to speak out of turn.

I think some posts can be passive aggressive as well so as not to make there intent so obvious to everyone on the board. Or maybe it just appears that way to me. I remember a thread where Ron was particularly obnoxious with one of his Protein Shake rants and of course comments on Wendells weight loss. A few days after the thread there was a post by Chelle thanking Ron for his wonderful contributions to the board.

I don't read every post, and my post to Ron was in no way related to Protein Shakes or anything negative. He went through a period of being very supportive to people, so I called that out.

Oh, you weren't out of turn. Remember, there is no "out of turn" on a message board. Everything's fair game. I just thought it was a little odd that you could make statements like that about me, yet couldn't speak to the intentions and reasons of people at OH that you know as well as or better than me. It's a little counter-intuitive to me.

I may be wrong here but I think it is your timing that is in question here. You know, how things "look" and all that.

Yeah, reading the responses to my posts are depressing. My timing obviously sucks.

Well, there is one more thing. The places you opt to post your words of "calling people out" for their good deeds. You know?

Oh don't be shy. Tell me how you really feel. I just try to be positive when I can.

I thought I was actually using a tad bit of diplomacy for once. :cool:

I did as you suggest.

Can someone tell me why I'm getting these replies in my mailbox when I didn't start the thread?

The emails I get w/notifications say that you'll be notified if you visit the site.

"There may also be other replies, but you will not receive any more notifications until you visit the forum again.

:clap2:You nailed it! The tactics just don't seem to work as well over here though, do they? It is soooo obvious. As I recall, every time they pull their crap over here, they get eaten alive.:heh:

The happy dance posts that come a day or two after they have bullied someone off the board are also pretty disturbing. I recall one after Dee and Vicki left where one of them actually posted 2 gone 1 to go and the rest chimed in. Speaking of eaten alive this thread where Ron gets hammered by LBT regulars is good for a giggle.

Ah, memories. That was some great fun.
