I'll tell you why, it's because your head is clouded. You go to and fro with everything you post about.

Yes, we can all agree that spot is a wonderful man... nay, a GREAT man. He's a titan of our times, a hero for the ages. Why, we're lucky to share the same pixels with him.

I feel strangely dirty for popping in and out of this thread.
Every time I leave I am having to wipe my feet, thinking of having an extra long shower with some Dettol before sleeping tonight.

acknowledge that by far the greatest harm to public health from drugs stems from alcohol and tobacco use.
In the UK they are estimated to be responsible for 30,000 and 100,000 premature deaths each year

illegal drugs combined, and even if relative numbers of users are taken into account, if classified under any
realistic assessment of toxicity, addictiveness and mortality rates both drugs would certainly be criminalised
and prohibited under the current system. The reason they are absent from the classification system is that
they are, for entirely political/ historical reasons, absent from the international prohibitionist legal system.
This distinction is arbitrary, perverse and illogical.

I agree Spot I have re-read the post 20 times and can't see how Pam was intentionally trying to hurt anyone with it. I think this is a very sensitive subject that many have had memories brought back, and to the front I respect your pain. I know where your coming from but will keep my pain to myself. There is no greater loss than that of a child.
Pam didn't mean to offend anyone she isn't that kind of person. I hope the bickering can stop as Fuzzy was sharing a very sad story indeed.
Do you know what, oscar? I think you failed to grasp what Pam actually wrote, you censored it into what you wanted to see instead of what she actually posted. The offending was entirely your own. Perhaps you might like to go back and check carefully.

We should be so lucky.
Maybe you could try something like "It is simply someone not agreeing with all you say. When someone disagree's with you, out you flounce. It's all dramatics and attention seeking. It Is a forum, not everyone agree's with everyone's posts. You could simply have left the thread and not posted again If you were so disgruntled at someone calling your post Into question". You know - goose, gander, that sort of thing.

The difference between Pam and Odie Is that Pam Is Intelligent enough to deal with a situation. Disagreeing with a members post Is a far cry from mocking the Inflicted. It's reminiscent of a head boy of a public school shouting 'bundle' In the dorm. Besides, you are predicting the final score without the penalty shoot out being played.

First of all Spot, where did I say In any post that her health Issue's related to her head being screwed? You are assuming again.
She has absolutely no more responsibility to discuss her health Issue's on a public forum than anyone else does.
Anyone with a a shred of humanity, would realise by her posts that all is not well. Instead, you yourself trolled her around threads baiting her until Bryn slapped you down.
Have a little humility Spot Instead of trying to be the smart arsse each and every time. Rat boy may be Impressed but I suspect that others may be a little uncomfortable with It.
Leave members to deal with Odie themselves all In good time.

It was you who trolled Odie around threads baiting her when her posts obviously Indicated a problem even to a blind beggar. It was you who got slapped down and It was you who had a member report your post. If anyone expects Immunity, It is you.
Instead of waiting for Odie to return to this thread and let other members deal with her, you continue to play to the gallery In order to Insult all the more so she'll come In with all guns blazing. It seems a very old tired tactic of yours. If you keep chipping away, she might just get angry enough to make another nonsensical post that you and rat boy can mock. It Is called 'Flaming' Spot, something you have many times accused others of.
Making blatant Insults Is not helping Odie understand where she went wrong when she already has a problem understanding In the first place.

I'm dealing with a choice betweeen retaining posters like Pam whom the site values, or a combination of Odie the thread-molester and her wretched sidekick who seems to post here purely as practice should the Hammer Studios re-open and the chance to audition for the role of Countess Bathory arise.

You just can not leave It alone can you? As I said, why not wait to see If Odie returns to this thread and let the members deal with It?
I think the problem you have Is actually that upon my return, you were waiting In anticipation for the fireworks between Odie and myself.
Odie knows how I feel. I made It clear to her when i replied to one of her pm's a couple of days ago.
It Is not a case of anyone being someone's sidekick, more recognising when a member Is being trolled and baited on other threads just for the fun of It. While the Ahso follows you around like a phart In a spacesuit, pot, kettle, black In relation to sidekicks.
If you have a problem with Odie's post attacking Pam, why not take your own advice and use the private message facility. It may be more dignified than the spectacle you are putting on for others.
I asked you to show a little humility with someone who has some serious health Issue's, how that equates to the assumptions you are making Is anyone's guess.
I can not ask you again. If myself and other members here have a problem with Odie, then we can deal with her when she returns. Chucking out Insulting posts, as I said, Is not helping her understand the problem. If Odie Is to be put right, she needs to understand.
You just can not leave It alone can you? As I said, why not wait to see If Odie returns to this thread and let the members deal with It?
I think the problem you have Is actually that upon my return, you were waiting In anticipation for the fireworks between Odie and myself.
Odie knows how I feel. I made It clear to her when i replied to one of her pm's a couple of days ago.

That's more work than anyone should need to do on a forum whose membership is made up of adults, but the fact is you've got one or three people here who obviously need their hands held.
Odie was tolerable before Oscar returned, all that was required was to permit Odie to stagger around and avoid bumping into her. Oscar, on the other hand, goes about looking for trouble, or misreads and misinterprets what others type along with her name calling.
So censor the two of them.

Just got up to let the dog out...
Shouldn't this thread at least be in the members only area?
IMO, it is out of line for any of you to be posting any of your last bits here in the open area.

I expressly forbid the use of any of my posts anywhere outside of FG (with the exception of the incredibly witty 'get a room already' )posted recently.

Then why not point that out In your first post? I was Insulted by your post and because someone has dared call you Into question, you expose your umbrage. You posted that you were leaving this forum a few days ago on your 'requiem for the banned thread' and I seem to recall you posting similar on several other occassions. It Is not ugliness Pam, It is simply someone not agreeing with all you say. When someone disagree's with you, out you flounce. It's all dramatics and attention seeking. It Is a forum Pam, not everyone agree's with everyone's posts. You could simply have left the thread and not posted again If you were so disgruntled at someone calling your post Into question and taking the thread off tangent for the people who want to read for some help here.
Posted by Odie..
your absolute right oscar, it's nothing that a drama queen doesn't say over and and over, I'm leaving....just to get everyone say.,,,,,,,,,,awwwwwwwwww please stay!
then a few days later she's back.
then starts the lying and more drama after drama and no one wants to read several long paragraphs and feel they have to completely respond.
then as you said.....the thread goes off tangent.
when we were friends on FB?
she would do the same..then type more after she hit comment......and that kept on going for at least 5 times and stlll does.
Odie,
I'm going to post a comment to you here since you won't answer my question...Were you talking about Pam?
Words spoken between Oscar and Pam are between them. You on the other hand jumped on the bandwagon and said some pretty nasty untruths about Pam.
Facts are...
1. Pam is not a drama queen...never has been, never will be. You are the drama queen and no one else.
2. Pam does not look for sympathy, nor does she wish for anyone to feel sorry for her. She does not lie. She is an amazing, strong woman who fights her own battles without drama.
3. You were never a friend of Pam's on Facebook so how could you read anything that she posted? How could you comment on anything that was never there on her wall when you didn't see her wall?
How dare you try to besmirch her good character and spew the vile that you do?
You should be ashamed of yourself and apologize to all.
I'm honestly gobsmacked with what you've said here.
Now the truth is out...You are the one who makes up lies and starts the drama!!!
btw...You also said that 'Pam made a statement on her 'banned' thread that she's leaving FG, but she's still here.' Unfortunately, you deleted that part before I could copy it. There is no drama on that thread...I just reread it....another blatant lie on your part.
As It appears that Odie Is not going to return to this thread as I hoped so members could deal with the Issue Instead of Spot, I will reply to your post now Odie.
Odie, your attack on Pam was disgusting.
For the record, I have no issue with Pam other than I took offence to her post. I have not had problems with Pam In the past and as she comes and goes, I have not formed any real opinion of her. I do not dislike her just because I disagreed with her post. But, what you did was jump on the bandwagon at my expense and I do not like being used. I have since tried to contact Pam on Facebook to apologise to her and see If she will return here. I posted to her that I did not feel a very sensitive thread was the place to be announcing she was leaving. Any issue was between Pam and myself and It was not for you to use It as an excuse for launch an unprovoked attack on her.
Although I do not know Pam very well, from everything she has posted, I do not believe she Is a liar.
I defended you on other threads because I believed you were being trolled and baited. That does not mean you can attack another member simply because I disagreed with them.
I made It very clear to you when I replied to your PM that I had no desire to accept friend requests here or on FB nor enter Into private messages with you. I also made It clear that I returned here purely to post with some British posters on current events. I also explained to you when you resurrected my room that i had no desire to continue because for one, I do not have the time these days. You told me you understood.
Whilst I do not agree with Spot's continued Insults directed at you which I suspect Is to flame you all the more, I am not your keeper. I would feel the need to point out blatant bullying against any member. All I have tried to do Is be civil to you In respect of Bryn.
Where you go wrong Odie time after time, is re-hashing old fall outs. There Is no need to keep bringing Gill, Jazzy and anyone else Into It. All you do Is set yourself up for some of the attacks you get back from members. You have to let things go and move on Odie.
I am very close friends with Gill, Carol and Kaz In real life. They will not return to this forum because of you.
I can not help you If you will not help yourself. You need to forget the past and move on. Start a clean slate.
The advice I gave you In my message was just to carry on posting. What I meant was, to carry on posting without joining In when ever you see a bun fight.
Stop bringing up the past Odie. You are confusing who said what to who when and It doesn't help you.
If you have a grievance, go to Bryn as I can not and will not be your defender when you are In the wrong.
I have too much on my plate along with the problems with my husband to get embroiled In this crap.
Please just let me get on with the reason I came here for and I am sure things will work out.

So censor the two of them. Perhaps you would like to refer yourself back to the threads I have posted where you have come on simply to stir the pot. Please show me where I have posted anything on your threads where I am looking for trouble.
No worries, I have you on Ignore now.

So censor the two of them.As a follow up: you can let the delayed posts be debated by green members, but I would also suggest members who require censoring not be permitted to be green unless and until they cure themselves of their adolescent behavior.
And sell all this to whomever you need under the guise of "Tough Love". American members should buy in rather quickly under that heading.

Never in all my time on Forum Garden have I read such infantile crap on any thread before. It’s been like going back to Prep school and listening to seven and eight year olds having a go at each other in the playground during recess.
Plus minus seventy nine posts of mostly infantile jibes. “Yes you are … no I’m not! You said this … No I did not … Yes you did!”
Get a life guys puleeze!

I thought I was losing my mind, what with the disappearing threads and all. I guess I've gotten to the age when I wonder if senile dementia might be creeping in.
