Rhonda started this!


(little troublemaker hehe!)

Yep:

I expect an apology Thump. Not to Tibs or Shell, but to me and the remainder staff.

I'd suggest you ask for an apology from the poster who started throwing words around like "cunt", "cuntbag", and other such charming names, or started the whole imbroglio. I don't give two shits rubbed together about your expectations and won't jump at your command. I'm sorry to Rhonda for my part here, but this thread had devolved to petty argumentation long before I rejoined it. I haven't broken any rules in this discussion, so why I should be singled out here, it's beyond me.

Your bias is showing ... but you obviously cannot demand an apology of the person who really owes one, lol.

Ok. How sad.

Oh you do have to apologize. IDGAF about your puny sensibilities regarding simple insults, or whatever the fuck you all were talking about.

I demand an apology for accusing the staff of bias like you just did, doubling up on what you said during the night. I figure you are unable to do so. Keep riding that high horse. It is your pride after all. Nothing more important on a man's life. Ha.

lol, I don't have to, at all, and I won't.

I didn't accuse the Staff of bias. I accused you of bias just now, but nowhere in this thread have I said that the Staff is biased.

Only a fool pretends to knowledge he doesn't possess.

Both of these quotes come from posts before I insulted either of the people who write them. I guess it's okay to insult people as long as you're not me? Fuck off.

Lol, when your expertise is Google, perhaps you should listen to folks who do work in the field ... cuntbag.

Protip: you should at least make your insults interesting.

See, kids...THIS is what happens when one jumps into a discussion nominally informed, and half-cocked. And, then decides to digs his/her heels in.

We all KNOW that there are alternatives to Benedryl, Captain Obvious. 
Alternatives for MILD allergic reactions were NOT being discussed, when you came in and decided to start "dropping knowledge".

Is that sinking in yet?

I'm thinking that the original post speaks something to the poster's mindset. I also think that "Mrs Tibs" having such a thing done is horseshit. The original post was caught on the fly, as has happened plenty before with no such editing, and at that point it seems relevant to me.

Is there a rule against quoting edited posts in order to show meaning or motive? Once you hit "send", it's out in the wild. I've edited many posts, mostly for spelling, and sometimes to take out rudeness. And unlike some people, I'm willing to own that.

Bold mine.

Here is one accusation of staff bias. Mrs Tibs heh? Hell, she has a name. Here you suggest that the fact Shell is Tibs wife influences us as staff, bias. And you just a few posts doubled it down to myself.

So you don't want to apologise, its fine. But you know what they say, injectives only dishonor those that utter them.

I used that word "cuntbag" specifically to point out your resort to insult (hence the italics -- I had thought that much would be obvious). If you don't like being insulted, then you probably ought not do it. And if you don't mind being insulted, why are you whining? You don't get to eat your cake and have it, too.

That's her own chosen user-title -- I didn't bestow it upon her. How does me simply pointing to the fact that her using that title is a form of throwing weight around translate to impugning the integrity of the staff?

Why should I apologize? I haven't done as you have charged.

Furthermore, there's a right and wrong way to go about seeking an apology, and you chose the wrong way. One day you'll learn, but you'll have to do that on your own.

There's a difference between accidentally including an original post and purposefully including it (likely from a notification email) when the post has long been edited.

"Long edited", eh? How long was it? And what does it reflect?

The post was edited four minutes after being posted and sixteen minutes before it was quoted. That makes it a deliberate attempt to misquote and misrepresent the post. Staff were acting fully within their authority.

You think cuntbag was the only thing insulting in your post? I don't mind being insulted. You're the one crying about apologies when you were the first one to dish it out. Own your shit, slag.

It's really absolutely none of your business, but that's positively not why it's my title. I changed it to that well before I married Tiberius, and it was because he thought it was cute and it garnered me kisses. We used to flirt with each other via tag lines and reps. The amount of bullshit you and your merry band of morons infer from even my slightest action is astounding. I've definitely noticed that people who were here before I went on hiatus and knew me before I married Tibs throw out this stupid nonsense far less than the newbs. You don't know me. You don't know him. You don't know shit about staff duties and the work they put in to be fair, so cut the shit.

Furthermore, there's a right and wrong way to go about seeking an apology, and you chose the wrong way. One day you'll learn, but you'll have to do that on your own.

You are ludicrous. "One day you'll learn." You fancy yourself the Buddha, don't you?

ETA: Also, why would I need to use Tibs to curry favor with the staff? Who do you think pays for this forum when donations fall flat? I happily and without complaint put it right in with our other marital expenses. My husband put years of work into this place, and fights all the time to keep it as open and without staff bias as possible. I would never ask him to put his "vision" for this place aside because I got into a petty squabble about fucking Benadryl. I would never use our marriage as a way to gain points online. It's absurd. There are maybe a handful of people who know how the "hierarchy" of forum ownership goes (because someone has to do it if Tibs can't). You'd probably be surprised to know how it falls and that it was at my request Tibs do it this way. (Probably the only time I influenced anything when I wasn't on staff) I have no interest in influencing this forum in any way. You won't take my word for it, and that's fine. However, the "higher ups" know how things really work, and they're actually good people, so I'm just happy to have their confidence. Yours is not important.
