Right I'm fed up of this! Viv go away and I mean away. You do nothing but annoy us all now (except Yuds who's just too nice to be horrible to you) I'm extra intollerant today but this thread just proves that Viv is completely of her head, needs serious help and is only here cos they banned her from UM. Can someone please just ban her from here? Either that or we all just refuse to answer any of her posts and she may just disappear on her own!

I like Fry's Turkish Delight. Full of Eastern promise.

And I am not nice, I'm arrogant, patronising and pompous and I don't tolerate fools - or anything else, much. I'm just not quite sure that Viv is how she is due to being a fool. And if not that, then what? I get just as annoyed, but when I ask myself "why does she do this", I find myself unable to join in the attacks. Mostly.

[![/quote]This place wouldn't be the same without Viv. Most people would think it would be better but i have to disagree. She is one of the reasons why i still visit here as you never know what to expect from her and i know she is a nice person really.

[quote="Yudster"]...

you're a little angel for writing that, fowler!! :-) And I hope things are going well for you at the moment too. And if they aren't... well, as I said before, just give us a shout :-) .. really :-)

I think you'll find that if you read what I wrote again Viv, you will see that you are saying the same thing as me.

She fails at being arrogant etc.

People have done far worse on here and not been constantly attacked though. This seems to me to be mob mentality or bullying, and is mostly uncalled for.

thanx, horse. I agree about "mob mentality", etc., etc.. It's something I have despised from my school days, when I used to have a very good friend who was bullied every single day for more than 2 years. Intervening on her behalf almost every day always taught me to be very strong against bullies, and always, always have my own opinions :-)

i think part of the reason viv attracts so much ire is because she is so prolific and engages with everybody who complains about her. could she be worse? yeah. does she seem to mind that her habits annoy a lot of people here? no, but that's her right.
do i think she's a horrible person? no.
do i think she should get a blog? yes, if only so she stops treating this place like her personal journal sometime and then get mad when people disagree with her.
yudster and demonhorse, you guys are way more tolerant than me. i know i've gotten better since the cancer thing, but i've also lost some of my ability to handle foolish behaviour. (sort of a "why should i?" deal.) viv, i don't think you're really a fool, but you come off as sort of a ditz here which bugs.

baggie- don't ruin the end of lord of the flies for anybody. i accidentally told gaspode about it and he was piiiiiiiiisssssssssssssssed.

thanks viv, is it because i think too much? it's hard being a pseudo-intellectual. or is it because i'm a librarian. damn. another stereotype fulfilled.

nope, you've just a tendency to repeat stuff day... after day... after day.....after day... still, it's rythmic and soothing to the nerves.

There are a couple of other members (one in particular) for which getting a blog somewhere would be a great idea. I still haven't written in mine in over a year.

A few observations (not getting at ya Kendra, you seem to be making the comments I picked up on as most logical :));
kendra k wrote:do i think she should get a blog? yes, if only so she stops treating this place like her personal journal sometime

Sorry, many have said this, but I don't see where she is treating it like a personal journal. Maybe i'm missing some section of posts, I dunno.

kendra k wrote:yudster and demonhorse, you guys are way more tolerant than me.

I seriously doubt this, at least in my case. History will provide proof of that. I just seriously don't see anything annoying in as many of Vivs posts as the rest of you seem to. There do seem to be some members (particularly with names beginning with b) that will jump on the first post in a thread, even if it IS wholly relevant and in the correct section, and not giving a chance in hell.

I don't think I treat it like a personal journal... I draw on personal experience and personal opinions, but not forgetting to ask others' opinions.

Long words? And I don't need to 'try' to disagree with her, we have opposing views on many philosophical matters (although we do actually agree on some, which is kinda odd considering what our views entail).

If you can think of a suitable replacement then I'll be glad to hear it.

Fowler wrote:and words that i would never use (mainly because i either don't know what they mean or how to spell them)


That's hardly my fault, besides, you're young, you've got a lot of time to learn the 'longer' words.

Fowler wrote:and you seem to be the only one to use words like that and i only see you really use them when talking with Viv.


I use them all the time; I use them more in the 'real' world than I do on here.

I used whatever words come to me first, the words which most eloquently portray what I am trying to converse (that was deliberate).

That could be classed as an attempt to wind me up.


It could be if you're oversensitive, but I thought it was fairly obviously in jest.
