How to solve a problem like....

[Scooter]

Well, hypocritically of course. Hen sent me four private messages last night.

In spite of all the venomous lies you have spewed about her, Hen still thinks there's something inside the malignant bitch you have become that is worth saving. That is to her credit.

[The Hen]

Yes I PMed Lo.

No I wasn't polite.

This is what I said in my first PM.

In case your membership ... is cut before I get a chance to laugh at you:

Never forget, you lost your own posting reputation on Plan B all by yourself, Lo.

That fall from grace was entirely down to your jealousy and hatred.

People who were your friends now think you are completely psycho.

You did that Lo. It was all you.

Now you have to live with yourself whilst I get to live with me.

Poor you. You got the loser.

Enjoy your life fully, Lo. I will continue to enjoy mine

.

Was it smart? No.

Did I feel better after the shit that little shit has subjected me to for the past months. Yes.

And the reason I sent Lo any PMs was because after agreeing to enter into mediation with her, the only thing that was forthcoming from Lo were MORE unsubstantiated lies from someone who was doing here best to ignore the process. I got cranky and frustrated.

If she had any fortitude, this matter would have been settled publicly and ended quite quickly. She didn't and now possibly will be gone for a month.

So what does she decide to bring up before this ends? My husbands qualifications.

That hoary old chestnut of editec's. The thing that frustrated him the most from his sheddom.

[The Hen]

Well, hypocritically of course. Hen sent me four private messages last night. Brilliant, now if she had just thought of that in the first place, this whole thing could have been avoided.
...but I'm here for ya, Hen. If you find it therapeutic, to work out your control issues in that way, I'll be glad to help.

The welding? ThX for asking, I may be lead welder this summer.

So. Apart from the fact this was YOUR issue, what would I have achieved if I had PMed you at the start?

When the story about child abuse came up, was I to PM you then so you could express your sorrow at my childhood?

When you started with your vile lies about what I had posted ten years ago, was I to PM you then?

When mediation was being request by you for the shit you had started on the Board, was I to PM you then?

What would have been achieved by PMing you Lo?

I can't see that anything would have been achieved. I you will never apologise for your slurs or lies. you are too small a person for that.

But the person with the control issues is not me Lo. It is you.

You want everyone to ignore you.

Well guess what? For one while month we will all be ignoring you, and that makes me smile.

Do you know why? Because I neednt have ended this way, but this is the way you obviously wanted it to go.

So I smile as I am overjoyed for you. Live with it, and yourself, Lo.

[Crackpot]

Don't let her turn you bitter Hen

[The Hen]

Fair doos.

I'll pull my head in now.

[Daisy]

So I'm thinking leave the poll running for another 24 hours for stragglers.

I really would like every one here to have their honest say in how this is handled.

[Econoline]

I'm voting, very reluctantly, for a suspension. Lo's behavior has been disappointing, to put it mildly, and I've previously stated that she needs to take a break from here to do some honest self-assessment. I wish she had seen the wisdom in that idea and done it on her own, but the worse she gets, the worse she gets, and somebody--meaning all of us--needs to give her a time-out.

I truly do wish the best for her in the future, and I hope she is someday able to come back and be the valuable poster she once was.

[Sean]

x2 Econoline.

I am another who would dearly love to see the old lo back. Sadly, I don't think it's going to happen. Things have gone too far.

I would like to be proved wrong though...

[Gob]

So what does she decide to bring up before this ends? My husbands qualifications.

That hoary old chestnut of editec's. The thing that frustrated him the most from his sheddom.

That's either a sign of her sheer desperation to throw shit at us, or something more devious.

Edi always attacked my qualifications, lying constantly and repeating the same slurs even when they were proved wrong by so many members of the CSB.

Why do that you may ask? You'd think that someone who openly confessed to being on the dole, made no bones about his spending his days in his slippers and dressing gown smoking dope, while proving that there was no impediment to his working by copiously posting at the CSB, having a full social life and running the Rosetta thing, the last thing they would try to put down was someone who worked full time at a valued profession, and was proud of it.

The trouble with narcissists is they NEVER see the beam in their own eye. That's why he was a laughing stock when he did this.

[loCAtek]

I brought it up, because I was your biggest defender against Editec and ~Steve, even while you took a hiatus. I fought for you- hard.
I came up with the arguement that he was misremembering that he [Editec] was the 'Screw in a pysche ward', till he finally dropped it.
Meanwhile, you made your own board and forgot all about that. I'm so nefarious, I just wanna know, why did I fight for you; what do you do, Exactly?

[The Hen]

Why did you fight for him?

Why do you fight against him now?

Utter utter bullshit.

Why not go fuck yourself.

[Beer Sponge]

I care about this board and want to see it succeed. I voted yes.

[Lord Jim]

I found this interesting...

I just went back and skimmed through the two threads back in November, when a two week suspension for LoCA and Quad was proposed....

While there was no formal poll conducted at that time, if you read the comments in those threads, it seems like there was pretty much an even split on the subject...(there might have even been a majority against)

That has certainly changed...

I don't think LoCA has anyone but herself to blame for that.

[Daisy]

So I guess the board has spoken.

I really, really did not want to have to do this.

Please loCA use this time out to find yourself again. You can see the sentiment of the board in the main is one where they want the old you back, as would I.

It is only a suspension, the ban is not permanent, come back and see if we can all be if not friends then at least have a level of cordiality towards each other.

I hope I have been as fair and impartial as possible in this matter.

[Gob]

I don't think you will see any wailing or gnashing of teeth here over it Daisy. She's worked really hard to get herself suspended, she deserves her reward.

[Lord Jim]

You can see the sentiment of the board in the main is one where they want the old you back, as would I.

I would certainly echo that...

And I hope LoCa will see the lopsided nature of this vote as an eye opener, and take it to heart...

And realize that there's no way that the vote could have been this overwhelming if it didn't include a number of people who had no long standing feud with her, and who voted "yes" very reluctantly, based solely on the fact that her behavior here had become completely indefensible, no matter how fair or objective they could be towards her.

[BoSoxGal]

loCAtek, I hope you will return as you once were - a valued member of the community. I miss the old you; you recently pointed out that we are always moving forward, but that reality does not preclude letting go of bad habits that were adopted along the way.

I look forward to your next chapter.

[Gob]

I hope I have been as fair and impartial as possible in this matter.

I'm sure you would have been left in no doubt if anyone thought you had been anything but, you know what this bunch of arses are like!

Thanks for taking on a thankless and unrewarding task Daisy, and executing it with patience and understanding, I'm sure we're all grateful!

[Lord Jim]

Thanks for taking on a thankless and unrewarding task Daisy, and executing it with patience and understanding, I'm sure we're all grateful!

I echo that as well...

You couldn't have gotten me to take on that assignment at bayonet point...
