The Duck felt compelled to leave Willy because he could not get his own way. He tried to bully and guilt another poster into changing his avatar. He doled out personal abuse and made sweeping assumptions but was unable to take being responded to in kind in his stride. He took that snark into every other thread he posted in. It looked in fact as if he had gone tracking BB and Panther to make those snarky posts. Then he included Witchy in it - who had not even been logged in when the shit flew and knew nothing of the dispute because she hadn't seen the thread. But she had dared to express an admiration for the intelligence of whales and that apparently reminded him of the fact that some people here deign to speak of subjects he has no affinity for. Like keeping the earth around for a few more years. He's on record as saying he'll be dead soon and so what the fuck if it all falls to shit after that. So you know - how dare anyone else talk about saving it. That's just too dull. When I took him to task over that snark in the thread concerning whales he made a derisive comment along the lines that BB had got so few balls he needed a mere woman to fight his battles for him. I emailed him a pleading letter which all but begged him to stay and he replied to me that he couldn't be arsed reading it. And that he had felt oppressed and uncomfortable here all along. That he had hated it here for ages ; that it filled his mind with crap he didn't want to think of and he was relieved to be gone. Then he emailed me again implying that he expected to be hunted and pursued in real life because of what had happened here. He accused me of making a comment I had not made. When I said it had all upset me to the point of tears he replied and I will quote "boo fucking hoo." I think he has been very selective with the parts of this tale of woe he has shared with you. And a deal of creative writing may have been engaged in too. The only side of the story I have seen is what has been posted here. I would let anyone run crazy without comment unless they became a genuine problem. Duck is a madman without doubt but you don't get that level of comedic genius from your run of the mill commuter traffic. If you want the truly exotic species to come into your garden then you have to let it run wild. It was hardly flaming brands and pitchforks. No-one drove him out. Certainly not me. He seems to have decided to have some kind of meltdown, and I became the focus of his bwaaah. I wasn't even being contentious. Then he wheeled the Aunty Norah thing out, and I thought, well, that's unpleasant, and changed my avatar. Only to get even more snitty comments. So then I thought "Fuck it" and changed it back. Got nothing whatsoever against the bloke, but I'm not going to allow myself to painted as some evil thuggish cunt just so he can deal with his fucking issues. If he wants to come back, that's fine. No-one's stopping him. If he decides not to, then that's fine with me too. Thing is, on Y/A, you can say dickish things, and you'll get your post taken down and docked 10 points, and that's it. On forums, you say something dickish, and people will call you on it. That's all that happened. |

Funny thing is that everyone but the prick who started slinging the shit took it in good part.Well you can tell the old cunt he's got his attrition.
Hare has resigned over it, feeling she is somehow at fault. She is not btw but she won't be convinced.
And as she's the only one who knows how to operate the software I suspect he's killed thr whole forum off.
Take his bat, his ball, the cricket pitch, knock over the bales and kick the umpire in the bollocks as he leaves.
yeah...he was a real fucking asset.

Then March Hare is being a bit over-sensitive dawww.......the silly frizzy wizzy.
Why should anyone be blamed? When its not going to inject any positivety why turn a drama into a crisis eh?
Now let's calm down everyone and carry on taking the piss out of everything like we all enjoy doing.

It's easy to feel at fault when everything goes kaboom because of a thread you started or comment you've made. I've been there myself.
Give it a few days for everything to cool down. If it gets absolutely necessary for something technical to be done I might could give a hand since I know a small bit about how these forums work.
Just don't ask me to design a skin. I suck at it.

All she did was try to keep it from getting worse. I hope she comes back. |

I don't want this to sound offensive or anything but I kind of consider Hare to be irreplaceable. She stood by me and took a load of bile right in the face rather than throw me in the path of those lying cunts. If the forum can't operate with her at the helm then it can go the way of many others before it. Natural attrition I think they call it. We started this one and it's a beauty. We can do it again. I'm not in this for any kind of glory or stardom. Though apparently there was a poster who thought the sun shone out his arse. It was a communal project, forged out of adversity and built with love, enthusiasm and mutual trust. Well we still have all of that. |

Then help her put on her cast iron bitch outfit and get her back here! We need her.
The duck is a funny guy, but, I don't enjoy being sniped at and neither does anyone else. So........

Hares resignation will not be accepted. I know a bit about the software and can enlist Sita until Hare gets back in a few days.
Let's not let this MOLEY hill become a mountain that destroys the entire forum.
Once BadBeast became a participant in the conflict it was expected he would pass on any admin actions that may have been taken. None were.
My name is on the deed to this place and any complaints can be forwarded to me.
Had the situation not come to a close I would have started moving all posts concerning the debate to a single thread and kept them all in one place so the entire board wouldn't be involved, as it was I almost moved it all to the fight club.
Nothing will make members stop posting faster than having threads they start for conversation derailed by an unrelated fight.
You are all intelligent people and from time to time things like this will happen. Intelligent people are often passionate about a few things here and there.
I ask that we let things just calm down and continue to post

Oh, I didn't mean for me to be a replacement or anything like that. Just that if something comes up before she comes back I'm offering a bit of help. Like when y'all wanted that smiley removed. |
