jacee Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 Please spare us your quoting of the rules. Last time I checked Kimmy still posts here. AW lost and ran away. I won't miss her. How did that happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Dog Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 Attacking other members (i.e. assassination) is a violation of forum rules. Continued references are the ultimate form of worship. You must really really really really really worship Canada then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bitsy Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 Exactly. AW must've had the upper hand in a discussion and Kimmy still hasn't recovered - Kimmy's nose is obviously still out of joint! Ice pack will help. Maybe. Your personal commentary does not fit any discussion that i witnessed. Wishful thinking, Maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC_chick Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 Speaking of our join-dates, it's my anniversary this month! 7 years! I came on December 2006. The seven-year itch happens several times a year so I'm not really worried about the possibility of a real breakup. In fact, I leave all the time. However, I don't get the whole idea behind deleting a membership. Is it an addiction like AA, you can never have one post without relapsing? Why not leave your membership open so you can post periodically and just take a breather whenever you want? Given the two members who did request it, anything is possible. AW especially, she wore the guess-game like a badge of honour. Funny, until her last post she never really stated what she believed while chastising others for not being telepathic. Oh I'm so gonna miss her.... K, I'm over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remiel Posted December 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 What thread were American Woman's closing remarks in anyway, if I may ask? Or what thread was it that caused the break?

BC_chick Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 Awww, CC, that's so sweet. I actually don't have anything against the board really, I'm just rarely on my desktop anymore and I hate the keypad on my IPad. That's why most of my posts are one sentence blurbs. Though your post is awfully tempting to go get a keyboard for the IPad. Sounds like Tim G might like that too. Bleeding Heart, yes, I know, I'm a survivor!

kimmy Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 I joined in summer 2004! Some of you have known me since I was just a kimlet. However, I don't get the whole idea behind deleting a membership. Is it an addiction like AA, you can never have one post without relapsing? Why not leave your membership open so you can post periodically and just take a breather whenever you want? Given the two members who did request it, anything is possible. Once upon a time at the end of my brief stay at Rabble/Babble, I posted a message berating the moderators for blatant favoritism and blasting a small group of members who'd harassed me from the moment I joined. Afterward, somebody remarked "nobody ever storms off in low dudgeon, do they." AW had only two dudgeon settings... high dudgeon and extreme dudgeon. Simply leaving and not posting anymore would simply have not have created a sufficiently dramatic spectacle for an occasion of such magnitude. AW especially, she wore the guess-game like a badge of honour. Funny, until her last post she never really stated what she believed while chastising others for not being telepathic. Again. Read what I meant to say, not what you think I meant to say. Again. It's not my problem if you insist on interpreting what I said instead of what I said I meant to say when I said what I said I meant to say. Capice? Oh I'm so gonna miss her.... K, I'm over it. I'm also way over it. Once upon a time I viewed our regular tussles as spirited debate with mutual respect. The mutual respect long ago disappeared. I wish BC_chick posted more, honestly. It gets tiresome having the same arguments with the same closed-minded people all the time. Me too. -k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

betsy Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 (edited) These kind of "intelligent" discussions make up the bulk of MLF, face it!

That explains it. You should've stayed put. Bwa-ha-ha-ha I agree. I have no idea why these people continue to talk about somebody who's no longer around to defend themselves. Yet for some reason they feel the need to go on and on and on. It's pathetic. Move on people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
