So as long as we're calling people out for all sorts of weird shit, who exactly is up HGF's ass? Because most of the posters haven't been here that long, myself included. Posting a lot doesn't equal a cult following. I agree with most of what she says, a comment here or there doesn't sit right with me, but no one's perfect.

I wish was an amazon goddess in those @beethery, even when I rock my highest heels, I still just hit slightly over 5'7". But they make my ass look good.
My tallest ones made me 5'10" (I'm 5'2"), so I still didn't actually clear the height of most of the customers. But, they were usually sitting down when I was walking around, so I felt like a damn BOSS at the time lol
Shorties unite!
Yes! Go us!!!
I like when I put on my heels and I strut around and I'm taller then FI (she's 5'3") and then I go out in the world and it turns I've hit average height. Like today I'm wearing 4" heels, and I needed something off a high shelf...I still had to go get the step stool.
I wish was an amazon goddess in those @beethery, even when I rock my highest heels, I still just hit slightly over 5'7". But they make my ass look good.
I'm actually slightly jealous. Most of my heels are in the 4-5" range so I usually end up in the 6'1"-6'2" range, with stripper heels I am easily a head taller than FI.
I'm much happier with this thread now that we have moved on to shoes! This is my favorite pair in my closet even if they don't hit stripper status!

I just think constantly throwing out the "you have bad grammar and spelling" response is tired and over used.
I also think that when you are called out on a thread you can respond in an adult manner without throwing out insults about others writing styles as your only response. But then again she never responds to others who may actually have a point but rather she ignores them and only responds like she did above. That to me doesn't speak highly of her but rather that she can't respond in an adult fashion.

The problem is that she NEVER owns up. Not when called out on sketchy responses. I am not nice, not all the time, but if someone called me out for it I'd own it rather than pick and choose my responses. It seems like only those who have bad grammar are worth picking on.

My FI is nice most of the time, I'm not always nice. We balance each other quite nicely. I don't think HGF ever pretends to be nice all of the time.
Also, if she is just disagreeing she doesn't have to respond to each comment. She is free to ignore it and you are free to "call her" on it. I don't think it is terrible to not respond to some things.

Yeah, this wasn't "blatantly obvious" to me either. I joined in December. Whatever happened before then, IDK/IDGAF. There are some people I disagree with vehemently one moment, and want to hug the next. Free will, yo.
I'm jealous of all ya'll who can wear those giant shoes. I'm 5'9" (ish? maybe 5'10" if I stand up straight?) so I would be a BEAST in those things. Thankfully FI is 6'4" so I can still wear 4" heels for the wedding without looking weird (at least to me), but that's as far as I'll push it.

I was going to go back and count the sheer number of simultaneous conversations in this thread, but then it was too exhausting once I got to this point.
Off the top of my head in no particular order there are a few replies to the OP, conversations about spelling and grammar, replies about having to use your own countries spelling, comments about the word slut, minion gifs, stripper shoes, trolls, TOS, HGF not fighting her own battles, walking in stripper shoes, and I offered everyone wine at some point.
That doesn't make it any less stupid considering she's not British.
Then we'd better call the AMERICAN LANGUAGE POLICE and the waaaaahmbulance before she types anything else incorrectly.
It isn't only the British the spell it that way. Are you going to think it's stupid if Canadians spell words
centrepieces, colour, honour, etc because we use British spelling instead of American spellings?
It isn't pretentious for someone who is Canadian or British to spell those those words the way they were taught. It IS pretentious for someone American who (as a nation) has their way of spelling it deliberately misspell words. There is no other reason. Frankly as a fellow Canadian I am surprised you are defending that decision.
So, are my bosses who were born in the US and now live in Canada allowed to use the British spelling? What about my carpool buddy who is a dual American-British citizen? Which spelling should she use? If some one that is American prefers to spell words the British way, or was taught to spell them that way, I'm not sure why I should have a problem with that as a Canadian. And FTR, I grew up directly across the border from the US. We were taught things in F, feet/inches and with the American spelling, despite being in Canada. In spite of this, I use the proper Canadian/British spelling and measurements now. I hope that doesn't make me pretentious as well.
I WISH the US would just use the metric system already! Geebus, it's much easier to use and so much more logical. . . hello, everything is in units of 10!
Inches, etc can GTFO.
You're in science, if I remember correctly? Isn't it a PITA with the metric vs Imperial stuff?
Yes, I am!
I have not run across much in the ways of the Imperial system, thankfully.

I have responded, TYVM. The fact that you missed that, or that my responses aren't to your liking, aren't my problem. You don't like them, don't read them.
Also, in the generally accepted adult world, not engaging with people who are reduced to name-calling and personal attacks is considered a sign of rising above the issue, rather than getting down in the mud.
I don't really see the need to 'defend' myself from ad hominem attacks by people looking to create drama. If I wanted to deal with that level of crazy, I'd call up DH's grandmother.

I think my only issue with this post is the fact that there are obviously a few users who have created aliases in order to speak their mind (misscleo anyone? pretty sure that was a reference in a very recent thread), rather than acting like adults and defending their stance with their own username. I'm not defending HisGirl at all, or coming to her rescue, but I can't really respect the opinion of posters who hid behind fake usernames to stir the pot. Those of you who are actually speaking your mind without resorting to childish behavior and creating fake names I can respect. I may not agree with you, but I certainly respect you a whole lot more.
