    [QUOTE]Oh I see.  Well, at least she was honest about it.  I have a weird thing with not knowing where something came from, so I get it.  That being said, I don't even borrow clothing from friends so..

    Yes, honesty makes it so much better. I hope you never have to shop at goodwill because you can't afford to shop elsewhere. Or maybe then your "weird thing" would go out the window.

    [QUOTE]In Response to Re: **DJ** : No.  I straight up asked her a question, and it was a reasonable question.  I'm not going to start a thread every other week asking Amethyst questions about things that are none of my biz.
    Posted by EaglesBride2012[/QUOTE]

    Got it.  Thanks for the clarification.  But is it worth the time you guys are spending here beating a dead horse?  I think it's obvious that Amethyst doesn't like the moderator, and the moderator doesn't like her.  But from what I have seen of Amethyst, she is a smart/witty and sweet lady who welcomed me.  I haven't seen much of DJ which I gather is because of the drama unfolding here so I can't comment on her attitude/personality. 

    It just seems to me that if people ignored the drama and let it go, things would be a lot less awkward around here.

  • The thread dissapeared already, but to the new DJ troll: it is pretty much the definition of stupid to make a troll of the one person that can automatically ban you.

    [QUOTE]ALSO, Amethyst is constantly making snide comments and passive aggressive remarks about people watching themselves so they don't get banned, and taking cracks at DJ.  It's ridiculous.  However, as evidenced, she won't respond when called on her nonsense.
    Posted by EaglesBride2012[/QUOTE]
    Yeah I did make comments like that. Weeks ago. Maybe a month ago when the whole shiitstorm/boardwar happened and someone was banned for hardly anything. I don't recall doing that recently.
  • Also: FYI- DJ didn't sent anyone over here. I lurk here because you all are so dramatic. I assume everyone else that jumped in here does too.

    </div><div>Very true.  However, we're discussing a poster who has started more than one thread by demanding answers from DJ because "we deserve and explanation, dammit!"  Also, someone who has been along long enough to know that a thread like that would do nothing but start drama.  </div><div>
    </div><div>And, as I believe Eagles said, the numerous quips about being careful to not get banned are way too common and clearly passive aggressive swipes at DJ.</div><div>

    Posted by Rosie109[/QUOTE]

    My "weird thing" is based on my OCD.  Thanks for rushing to judgement that I am just a snobby girl.  I am thankful to have what I do, because I know my life would be quite hard dealing with extreme compulsions against things I would need to survive.  I think if I ever got to that point, I would probably be locked up in a looney bin overnight.  I pray that never happens.  If that makes me a snob then I guess I am a snob.
  • Aw you called it a "weird thing". I can't claim the honor of calling your OCD compulsions that. So if you felt the need to minimize your compulsions in such a way you can't expect someone who has no knowledge of your OCD to contribute what you call a "weird thing" to something that you can't control.

    Its cool though, I can tell you are probably a snob outside of those issues too.

    <div>That's crap.  So you're expecting answers to stuff that is not your business whatsoever, but can't seem to answer any questions about why you think you run shiit around here.  You're the biggest hypocrite ever.  </div><div>
    </div><div>Here's the problem with this board.  You all are like a one night stand to one another and then decided, hey that lay was good so I guess I'll stick around.  Problem is you don't know squat about anyone, so you're putting all this trust into people you think are so awesome and it's causing you all problems because what's dark always comes to light.  (i.e. you're supposed "boardwar", banning of people when you don't even know why but think they couldn't have done anything wrong, and now trolls of people taking stuff from facebook).  You're playing house with people you don't really know.  </div><div>
    </div><div>Maybe you (Amethyst) need to take a step back and understand WHY DJ was hired as mod.  It's because she's above your bullshiit.  You're right,  you could never be a mod b/c you DONT have what it takes.  You're judgy, nosey and two faced.  Go take that back to your troll infested FB group.  </div>

    I think normally I say something along the lines of "Welcome, I hope you like the board!" Maybe something like "We are a chatty group." (which is true at times) I think you're being overly picky here, but you did admit you're a crazy person.

    ETA: When I use "we" it's no different than when you use "we" to mean the E board. You're not the mod of that board yet you're allowed to use "we" on your board and I'm not allowed to use "we" on my board? Weird.
