OMG!!! That has to be the longest thread in the world.

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.

I remember that thread. I was pretty damn disgusted, so it was a very good thing that I had already had my account deleted. People must think that everyone reading the thread is completely stupid, that they don't realize that every freakin' person knows who and what they are talking about. My god, it's shocking how immature women in their '40s, '50s, and '60s can be. Dee-lightful? Two down, one to go? Jesus, I thought I left that behind when I left kindergarten. I'm surprised that they haven't brought out "neener, neener, neener" and "I know you're ugly, but what am I" yet. I'm almost afraid to say it, because that's probably what will come out of their mouths next.

In reality, it's the mods for that board that amaze me. Either they are supremely stupid and probably don't have enough brain cells to chew gum and walk at the same time, or they're Sandy's patsies. I vote for both, actually, since she's still around and breaking their terms of service after so many people complained about her.

Damn, Wheetsin! Those are REGULAR behaviors on OH! That list is amazingly funny, thanks for posting the link.

It did miss the slams and attacks for not agreeing with the clique. Everything else, very familiar.

I didn't even care enough about this topic to read it all.

My opinion is that when people start acknowledging the truth, as opposed to defending their positions, some progress might be made, but I am not holding my breath.

We are definitely in the "get friendly" phase right now!:eek:

What is that old saying,"Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer." ?

It will never happen. At least with a few but with future people at least now they are aware and can make a decision based on fact vs. clique. From there it is up to them.

Amazing, I was just saying that to Lauren yesterday in a PM.

All that is happening now is a desparate attempt to prove that they were somehow "Right".

In essence, they KNOW they were wrong, but pride will not allow them to acknowledge that in front of the entire world.

They are worried about looking like fools and suckers for the line of B.S. that they bought, hook, line & sinker.

1. Get friendly

Always refer to your opponent by his/her first name. Your messages will seem warm and friendly, despite the rabid ferocity of their content. After a few exchanges, begin to use a corruption of your opponent's name - begin with "William", then change to "Billy", then change to something like "Billy-Boy". Women don't enjoy having their names shortened either, so make sure that "Mrs. Elizabeth C. Osbourne-Smythe PhD, QC" is always addressed as "Lizzy".

Absolutely.

Not much surprises me about that board.

Maybe the fact that some of the people who were obviously duped believe that by coming to this board they can somehow diminish their responsibility for their own behavior, or somehow support their own behavior as being above-board, when most people would recognize it for what it was.
