Whatever happened to littleduck? I miss playing that mob game with her, everyjuanJalapeñomel @this et. al.
She doesn't like when people talk about racist not procreating. Or "she prefer we don't talk that way. Bad things happen." Her parents were racist.
I wish someone would find that thread. 05heel killed it in there.
I feel like I have to stick up for LD here...she was going through some personal issues that day, and obviously took some flip comments too personal. She left because she realized that this place was more of a negative in her life than a positive - not because of that one thread, but because there were posters who liked to needle at her and she just got tired of it.
I wouldn't be surprised if our missing regs don't return, meaning lucy, toledo, kev, etc. Some very mean things were said about them. People aired every grievance they've ever had. If people want a snark free, boring board where no one is called out, ever, then I think we're headed there. A lot of people Konmari'd this place, I don't see myself being a very active poster anymore either.
ETA: I really hope they do, but I can understand why they wouldn't.

I also want to know if any more luffa plants were stolen? Who was that?
lol, that was also me. No, no more have been stolen. The loofah thief DID move right next door, so that's awesome (she used to live 3 houses down). She glares at me quite often.

Aw, the littleduck love seemed pretty unanimous to me, but I totally get leaving a place that feels more negative than positive. Hopefully she's doing well.
eta- This reads like I don't believe her. I do! I just didn't realize.

LOL, I think of Loofah Gate every time I see a loofah in the store!!

Come on, flex , this makes it even more obvious you are ignoring the questions asking for specifics.
You got me there. I have no specifics except I know the mood was ugly for a few days. I didn't like it, but it was clear to me that to say anything or to delete posts (which, with my record, would have gone over like a lead balloon). would have added gasoline to the fire. I do have my opinions on what went down which I have stated, but actual posts to show to everyone? I have none.

I agree with flex to the degree that when I was reading stuff as it happened everything felt really aggressive. board was aggressive and for good reason.
I bet if i went back and read posts I wouldn't feel that way the second time around. I think this is why everyone can say well I went back to read that thread and I didn't see anything alarming.
There is a difference of reading something in the moment and then reading it with a clear head.
I also don't think LHC, toledo and the likes will be back. And as an oldie around here that is sad.
But wasn't there negative talk about ML posters on the other boards? I thought I remember reading that and while I would not call it threats, I would say it certainly was not nice.

Heading off the "problem"? Do you really want to go there? I kow what your problem is.
And I'm not blaming other boards. ML was just as bad.
Bring it. Because I know what you wanted to do, and I STILL think it was bullshit.
You do not know what I "...wanted to do" (not even sure what you mean by that), but since since you've already decided you know all my intentions, so be it. You just want to be pissed and hateful, period.

Flex, it's not even that I'm trying to defend my home board but do you realize how inflammatory it is to say that people were making threats, when it seemed that what you meant was "people were angry"? Considering that posters were targeted and violated, you cannot throw around "threats" so loosely.
"This prick is asking for someone here to bring him to task Somebody give me some dirt on this vacuous mass so we can at last unmask him I'll pull the trigger on it, someone load the gun and cock it While we were all watching, he got Washington in his pocket."

Implications and questions as to whether they'd been involved, yes. Threats against them, no.

Yeeah, but when there was actual shit happening to people (being mailed things to their home address), you can't really say that others were making threads without backing it up. Yes, it's not nice to say "Hey, I never liked her, she's a real bitch" but it's not a threat.

Excuse me. Who started talking shit? Who brought it all up again? Who can't back her shit up? You flex. All you.

Not nice, sure. But veiled threats? Horrifying?
I don't think you're very nice at all.
I pretty much just told you that I'm going to burn your house down.
(JOKE. I think you're very nice and also will not burn down your house)
