It's about that 'other place'

Well, you try and be honest and what does it get you? It gets you interesting!!

I could have signed on at Torchbugs and never been honest in my profile or avatar, I could have lied, I could have been everything these woman say they don't like but what does that get you. It gets you messed with. Quite simply why the hell don't you just ban me, remove me or something. But I guess your childish games are far more FUN!!

Keep your forum. In all honesty you did your best to make yourself as similar to LE as you could. Corri is more woman than any of you will ever be!!

So guys and girls don't be fooled if you see 2Glassy4U over at Torchbugs because I may be able to sign in as long as I have no cookies on my end but once I hit log in everything goes haywire this side. I'm there, but I'm not. I cannot see diddly and get weird errors - I can't even partake in a good friends exchange that I had joined. Oh well!! I may not be able to get on but I'll still do my part and send my pieces.

What people do not realise is that I can connect via hubby's laptop and it didn't take long to figure out that it was only the 2Glassy4U that was effected. I guess banning me was just not simple enough for you!!

Grow up girls and get a back bone!!!

Yes, I did sign up...

Okay...considering that my internet has been up and down and basically driving me loco, I have not kept up to date with my comments. What I like about Kevan...well you didn't hide behind an Anonymous posting. Kudu's to you. And yes I meant kudu's. I wish I could say that it was accidental but no it wasn't. Was it a lie - well not really because at the time I had no intention to sign-up, but then I swear that 'curiosity got the cat' because I went and signed up. I had all these intentions to blog about it but basically have had no time. But I am sure there is a bunch of super sleuths with a bunch of assumptions who have there own ideas in their teeny little heads.

After reading the odd threads and especially a huge 'pager' at the moment I'm not quite sure you girls can do it. It appears that Torchbugs is there to rip into people no matter what the cost. To slander and to have people pat you on the backs and cheer you on with your super sleuthing. You couldn't care what is does to someone else as long as you are right!!

And you know what - you girls just cannot let it go. The whole 'delete' thing. Did it effect your lives so much??

Now for the Anonymous Post:

How kind of you to post about Torchbugs on your blog Shelly. I find it ironic that you joined Torchbugs the very same day that you blogged that you wouldn't.

My response : I know pretty stupid!! What was I thinking??

So does that make you stupid enough to climb out of a vehicle next to a pride of hungry lions, or does it just make you a liar?

Probably makes me stupid enough to climb out of a vehicle next to a pride of hungry lions. As for the character. As you don't know me - I'll ignore your 'liar' comment and move on with life. But then you girls are good at making assumptions and knowing all.

I'm also curious as to what South Africa has to do with our forum. First of all, the forum is based in California. That's in the US in case you didn't know.

Is that a bridge you really want to cross!! I actually have a friend who lives in California, I spent time with her in Las Vegas as well as with another friend from Washington State and not Washington D.C. I have friends dotted all over the USA - genuine friends who are real.

Two of your members had no problems trying to bring South Africa into a mix of child labour etc etc. Who knows more history about South Africa, ignorant others who go off on a tangent or some who grew up in the Apartheid era, whose first vote at the tender age of 18 was 'YES' for change and who now lives in the new South Africa but everyday wishes to get the hell out. I was just pointing out to some of your members that Apartheid was about race and not child labour and that embargo's/ sanctions were not the only reason for Apartheid to end. Yes, exporting hurt our farmers, of that I can be sure. But like my hubby said we survived pretty well without a MacDonalds and were healthier for it and darn it all our good fruit stayed mostly here in those days. Now we have to pay a fortune to eat good fruit and pay the export price.

I've visited America, have you ever been to South Africa. We're not talking Africa here, but South Africa. I'm sure you know where it is on a map!! Are you saying that your forum is exclusively for Americans. In all honesty if I didn't post that one single post none of you would ever have known who 2Glassy4U ever was?? I just get major peeved when people who think they know so much about South Africa start spewing crap.

Will you be posting hateful posts and then deleting them on Torchbugs as well as on LE?

I hope you have some factual information to go with that. Just exactly what hateful comments did I make then delete. I have fully disclosed why I deleted my posts and the funny thing is, is that it is getting your knickers more in a knot than it is mine. I stuck up for a friend who you girls had no problem in tearing apart!! I stand by Trish and always will? I think that makes me a better human being than you. Just my opinion of course.

As for threads about fellow lampworkers? When those are found they are deleted immediately. Are you insinuating that doesn't happen on LE? Are you saying the new forum hasn't been talked about on LE?

Immediately are you sure about that. Are you 100% certain about that?

I mean, here you are, not only talking about people behind their backs, but making false statements about them.

Maybe you need some help here?? Me talking behind whose back?? My blog is open for the whole wide world, geesh it even allows you to post anonymously!! It's no blooming secret. What false statements - I think some people were being very nasty about a fellow LE'er.

Here you are, talking about Torchbugs and its den of hungry lions.

Uhhhm no....but if you're thinking you're a hungry lion then by all means.......I was just trying to be local. {{grin}}. Maybe I insulted the lions, I think they are better natured than some of you. Your post proves my point though. I doubt I would have gotten all those sweet overtures of Welcome = oops, I didn't. Guess I was right about not being welcome over at that forum.

And you're right, maybe you don't understand what it means to be positive. Because if you think your blog entry here is positive, maybe you should re-read it. Your entry is no better than what you are accusing others of doing. In fact, I'd say it's pretty spiteful and hateful. It's people like you we are all trying to get away from. And we're the den of lions? Please!But hey, welcome to Torchbugs.

If being positive means tearing somebody apart, trying to ruin a business, hopping from forum to forum stirring shit then by all means carry on being positive. I am just one person - not sure I could stop the lot of you anyway. But as much as I 'love' this country right now I will stand up for it's history, I will stand up for my friends when they are being bashed and I will voice my opinion and you know what?? If you don't like it....stop reading my blog. Heck, I have a hard time believing you came across this post accidentally - so just who has been talking behind my back???

You know what DO ME A FAVOUR AND SAVE ME FROM MYSELF and ban me from your forum!!!

edited to add: the more I think about it the more I am certain that Ms. Anonymous is not American.
