One of your esteemed posters used to sneer at the number of my posts that had been deleted. He would proudly quote the exact number being too stupid to realise that only three people could have this information: the catpeed, the admin and the catpee-er. His IQ has not increased with the years.
Adults don't need a 'Please Miss' button.

i agree with keeping deabates up front, also so there is no hidden intimidation via angry private messaging. i've already been on the receiving end of that and decided not to open any more private messages from a certain poster. I am assuming that pippa here refers to the PMs I sent her in a vain attempt to set the record straight about the WoM spats involving JSM. Here is the text of the first: I don't want to clog up the WoM board any more, and of course if you are determined to believe I am lying I won't convince you here - but I have to make the effort.
The first I knew of JSM was a completely unprovoked attack on Nilsheen, who posts on WoM and also I think on MC. I defended her, which I think made me a target. I don't know Nilsheen apart from that - she has never never been a cakeboard member. Artslily (who has, but who hasn't posted there for ages) also posts on MC, so I assume she knows Nilsheen from there.
All the other WoM posters who've tangled with JSM - Douglas, max joe, Joe the Gardener, angusrod, panshoshana, Caro, and more - I know only from the WoM board. If anyone wants to check the level of intimidation therein for themselves, I am very happy to post the texts of all the rest so you can all read them. As to the mods on this board - at a certain point, when about two people were posting here, bets decided to give them all mod status - so yes, I am a mod, and so is Jade, and so, of course, is the marchesa herself. One wonders why she did not decline, since she finds the concept of moderation so alien to her. [Edit: a few things seem to have changed just now - the marchesa , pippa and jade are now all 'pc'. What on earth does that mean? Not 'politically correct, surely? Not the marchesa?] |

And here is the text of my second PM to pippa. Both this and the one I quoted earlier were sent in early March of this year.
Thank you for your replies.
I really do not understand how you see the people who reply to Johnny's attacks as indulging in 'mobbing behaviour'. Johnny clearly thinks that's what's happening, but he's wrong. People have replied as individuals when they have seen others attacked, that is all. Look at caro's posts, for example. She's an admirably level-headed and independent poster (and I have no contact with her outside the board).
I have no idea what happened on the MC board beyond what Nilsheen. and later artslily, said about that on WoM. I didn't go and check. I know Nick [Cosmo Sonde] can be merciless when the mood takes him, and I was in regular PM contact with him for a while before he disappeared, but we never discussed Johnny or MC.
I did jump in on angus's thread on WoM to try to stop angus getting involved further because I worry that he is vulnerable - I have picked this up from what he has written on the board. I have no contact with him otherwise. I find him a serious and thoughtful poster, who doesn't deserve to be goaded. He is relatively new and if he stopped posting it would be a great loss.
I would be very interested if you could provide me with links to ANY post where I have attacked Johnny, so I can see how it looks to you. It seems to me that all I've done is replied to him.
And I remember replying to you on WH, but did I ever attack you?
By all means send me links to the threads on which you think I did.
It's worth remembering that while all those horrible WH threads were happening, the WoM board was carrying on as it always did, with pretty well all the same posters as are there now. It was an oasis of peace anrd rational debate, even though I was posting on it all that time.
(In my list of posters I know from elsewhere I forgot to mention aqua - he posts both here and on Cake as well as WoM so I have ample opportunity to communicate with him by PM. Which I have done, but I don't think we have ever mentioned Johnny.)
And - on a completely separate issue - do you really think I am not justified in trying to set the record straight about what the Toad writes about me? The Welcome board here is full of his effusions. I've left them there for you to read. And it's worth following the links he gives to see how he talks about other posters behind their backs.
(I may add that Pippa never did provide me with links to the posts where she considered I was 'attacking' Johnny. Or attacking her, for that matter.)

point of order - I am not a mod. I was, but it was made conditional on changing the way I look, regardless of competence or experience. Anyone that promotes only on looks simply shows their own poor judgement.

Ah yes, I see that your little symbol has changed.
(Welcome back, btw. I may have to post a little more often here now.)

i only set up this board as an interim measure. the goddess has shown no interest re my handing over admin...so i remain 'in charge' i don't have the time to sift through all the posts. i had hoped that as all members here were adults, and as such would behave in a respectful and cordial manner towards one another..... ....but Goddess knows my e-mail and will obviously contact me if a transfer of admin would make for happier times here. |
