You mean like making a public display of inability to understand the difference between someone saying “you don’t know what went on behind the scenes that led to Zenster’s banning” compared to “I had absolutely NO knowledge that Zenster would be banned”. I wouldn’t talk about looking like an idiot, Punkin. ---

What I love about **Diane** is that she’s such a _warm_ personality. Always looking for the best in folks. Never a bad word. ---

Yeah, let’s stop giving Diane attention by contining to posts more posts about how we aren’t going to give her attention. HA HA HA! Tell me again, who are the idiots? ---

Hmmph. I ride the subways every day and get to witness plenty of public psycho breakdowns right in front of me, but the ones on this board are always so much more intricate. Bye, **Zenster** , I hope you work out your issues. Honesly, I’ll miss you. I find this board to be pretty fair and as consistent as such a community can be considering its size and the hot-button issues it deals with. I had to exile myself from a fan board for a certain late lamented fantasy show because of the politics–not of the board itself, but–well, I didn’t mind the jokes about Bush, until they became the constant whining about Bush, and then extending the evil fundamentalist idiots label to ALL Republicans; my feeble protests about Mike Bloomberg and my non-evil Repub Mom were ridiculed until I (a Dem FWIW) blew up and stormed my way out. That wouldn’t happen here. And there’s another board I’m on that used to be Awfully Large and now goes by another name, wherein you can get Warned for crossing boundaries that are as vague as all those blue lines in hockey. This place is an oasis of sanity, even though a few of my fellow travellers don’t quite fit the bill…anyway, I appreciate it. ---

WILL YOU BLOODYWELL STOP WRITING POSTS THAT MAKE ME LAUGH, **LOADED**?? I just read this one, and the sprogs heard me from the next room…“Are you orright Mum?..Is everything OK?..Are you crying??” Yeah, I was crying alright…with laughter. Bwahahahahahaha. 😛 ---

HA! HA! HA! And my daddy’s bigger then yours… Now, let’s see how we can end this here war of attrition. In here? No, **Diane** is pretty good at insults and is seemingly able to hold her own. Then again, If I had the decades of practice living inside her bitter, hate-filled skull, I’d be good at it too. Alas, I’m still at the beginners’ _felchwad_ level of Pitting folks (I really do need some more flying hours in here). Now, I reckon the best way is to take this to General Questions with a new thread: “Does the World Revolve around Diane?”. A quick Galileo cite from one of the astronomy regulars in there, and this would all be over. ---

**TheLoadedDog** - really, some of us have to get to bed now, stop it with the witty posts! The World actually revolves around blondes. (Or so I’ve been told.) 🙂 What’s up with Diane - I haven’t encountered her vicious posts until now. Is she off her medication? ---

Still ignoring me I see. I’ll save you General Questions post - Yes, the world does revolve around me. Lemme know if I can help you with anything else. Until then, why haven’t I got an answer to my original heart felt and genuine question, ya know, before Blonde turned all hissy and hysterical? If the mods are so unfair and make this place so horrible for you - WHY. ARE. YOU. STILL. HERE? Jeeeezuz, I am not asking for the answer to the meaning of life, I just wonder why someone would stay someplace that obviously makes them miserable. You going to answer or can I just chalk it up to over-reaction on your part? ---

I’ll answer that, Diane: because the vast majority of posters on this board bear little to no resemblence to YOU. Get a goddamn grip and get off my back, you little cunt. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Diane \* > \*\*I’ll save you General Questions post - Yes, the world does revolve around me. > \*\* That’s funny. It makes you seem sassy and confident, not bitter and sad (well it doesn’t really kids, but hey). As for the other stuff… My word. Has anybody said “I am leaving right away because the mods have made this place unbearable?” No, I don’t believe they have. Some have mentioned they have reservations about staying. Others have challenged the mods to ban them too. Yet others, **Lib** from memory was one, have said that they come here for the members, not the moderators. These things are _different_ to that which you are saying, or did you miss Luis’ lesson on Sesame Street that day. Y’know, “three of these kids are doin’ the same thing… but ONE OF THESE KIDS…” Sorry, got carried away with good memories there. Annyway, it’s becoming pretty apparent that you’re none too smart. Have a nice day, _punkin_. ---

In otherwords, just as I thought. You throw a hissy fit over something that you have very little information, rant and rave about the evil and unfair mods, whine about how you this place is “censored”, and then when you are called on it and asked why you are still here if it is so fucking awful for you, you completely flip out and act like hysterical harpy. > [@](#): > > you little cunt Thank you, you big gaping twat! ---

Geez, the board is entertaining tonight…especially with **Diane** as the MC. Remind me to tune in at the same time next week eh?? 😃 (Diane, just a word of advice darls: it might be better for you to take your anti-antisocial meds BEFORE you post, hun. You’ve done yourself and your credibility no service today. Perhaps it’s time for YOU to take a sabbatical from the boards.) ---

> [@](#): > > My word. Has anybody said “I am leaving right away because the mods have made this place unbearable?” Jeeezuz H, go back and re-read the thread. Blonde was yammering about the “censoring” and unfair mods and more or less said that this place sucked ass. I asked why she stuck around. Honest question. You would have thought I asked her to cut off her right arm. ---

So she did, but in the pettifogging spirit this thread has taken so far, she _did not_ say she was out the door this minute, which is what you are saying. I’m giving up. ---

> [@](#): > > which is what you are saying Wa huh? Noooooooooooooooooo. . . . It was a simple question to her asking why she is still here if this place is so horrible. Nothing more, nothing less.
