No. But I've seen two things from her in the last few days that I commented on, and IIOY was the only other one who noticed or said anything about it; everyone else just sorta breezes right on by, and I was wondering if there was a reason.
Fear. It's intimidating to go after someone when you know they are going to call your dead grandmother a twatcanoe.

Because it's emmy. Just like it's heyjude. You expect certain behavior from someone. You can only tell them, "WTF man?!" (and getting the innocent eyes or the "why didn't you say something about xyz?"), before you just give up.
Hey, I tried to do my part and scarfed up the AW login id the last time it was abandoned. Then Ellie (I may be wrong about this and don't mean to sound accusing) gave it back to her! I kind of figured she'd get the message that the repeatedly activating/deactivating/activating/deactivating was getting tiresome.
do it again. let her get a little pissed.
please, ellie?
Your wish is my command ... signed, mbj, no matter what user id is in the poster id box.
Except that I don't recall emmy ever being like this before. And trust me, I'd have remembered if she'd busted out vagina-obsessed crap like that before. "Massengill-dripping"? Bleah.

it helps that she has been called out several times, usually in the typically nestie fashion of "is everything ok? You seem crazy lately. do you want to talk offboard?" and she has made it extremely clear that those kinds of offers are unwelcome, she doesn't want to talk about it, and also possibly your mother smells like wet dog ass. It's like sticking your hand in a blender.
Nugget - In that case, I think maybe it's because to some Christians everything they do is to bring them closer to their walk with Christ. The uber sanctified Jesus Christ Jr sect of Christians find that EVERYTHING has to be brought full circle to WELL THE BIBLE says ... because it's the founding principle to everything they do. And that's fine. Do you.
But, if you find it annoying, then maybe you should just leave her alone because she's not going to be able to frame anything in another light. Which, is why I gloss over the vast majority of her posts. Hell, and I'm sure folks do that to me, but I ain't messed up about it.
*Disclaimer - "You" is not directed toward Nugget. This is a refers to anyone who 1) purposely irritates AW just to get their rocks off or 2) AW gets on your last good nerve and you can't hold your peace.

I did? ETA: oh, do you mean when I dittoed you as to the overall tone of the board and you mentioned Emmy's comments? OK, yes, I did.
But yes, Emmy was confronted and she doesn't give a good goddamn.
As for HJ, I've also noticed the abundance of snarky one-liners and I think wawa's theory is correct here.
IMPO, it comes down to a matter of AW being a complete hypocrite, which i do not respect at all.
she starts debates and claims she's open to debating with people. then, when she doesn't like what other people have to say she deletes her account which to me is the equivelant of sticking her fingers in her ears and singing "LALALALALAAAA!!!! I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!!! LALALALAA!!!" then a few weeks later she comes back on here and wants to debate again.
You seem to be confusing the word 'debate' with piling on. I'm not defending the speculated reason she de-activates and re-activates over and over, but yeah. I think it should be a unity horse issue that she's piled on more than anyone here, and this is ME stating this!
yesterday's post wasn't a pile-on. not by a long shot.
yes, there have been AW pile-ons in the past. yes, she's been the brunt of more than anyone else here. there's also room to argue taht many of them are self-inflicted. and yes, i'm victim blaming here so have fun with that.
yesterday there were 3 or 4 people involved (one of which was AW). so no, i wasn't confusing 'debate' and 'pile-on', at least not in this circumstance.
I just assumed HJ's one-liners were because she exclusively (or almost exclusively) posts from her phone. Even on my iPad I don't like to type lengthy responses. But I also haven't noticed a difference in HJ's post either. She's still as lovably snarky as always.

I didn't even see yesterday's thread, but you seemed to be speaking of AW's habits in general where I quoted you - and that's where I was coming from.
And now this thread just got even more retarded by bringing up old, irrelevant shit. Good times.
I think aw offers a unique perspective, and one that I never see or hear in my everyday life. I enjoy reading a lot of what she writes. But, I think she's not a great fit for the board. So as much as I like reading her perspective, I just don't care that much.
heyjude, while I don't think you are nuts, I think I can see why you are getting called out. The one liners stand out more when you aren't making a lot of other longer posts. While I often LOL literally at some of your remarks, I do miss your longer contributions to threads. I understand work gets in the way though. Just don't leave us completely.
but I agree. HJ's snarky/punchy/non-substantive comments that rub people the wrong way are in a whole other class from the out and out nasty mean shit that emmy is prone to. One is just a style issue. (hence many people not seeing it as an issue at all) The other is pretty unequivocally bitchy.
I'm not telling either of them that they need to change or leave or anything. just making sure the horse is totally beaten before we drag it off to be made into glue.

yeah, i got walked in on while GBCNing and just hit post.
I'm really confounded that I'm being called out for snarky one liners when I don't think there is a single person here who can claim they don't engage in snark. Be it one line or more. Actually this board has brilliant snarkers. Including some of the people calling me out for being snarky, ironically.

Thank you. Yes always from phone. I can't type long essays from this thing. Props to those who can and still sound eloquent.

Yeah. It's like trying to rehab/train a middle-aged, decent dog that was never really trained and has some unsavory habits vs. trying to make a junk-yard dog that's been beaten every day of its life into a family pet. The latter you basically just want to keep your distance from.
I used to think Emmy was really witty, but now she's really just awful.
FWIW, I've always liked HJ. Not just because I agree with her on almost all of her viewpoints. I like her ability to get to the point quickly. And I love how she can come into a thread and call everyone out when we're too far up our own asses to realize a major point.
You know, whenever I see this, I feel like the insult is all wrong. Cunt + Wench seems better. Cuntwench. Far more dirty and demeaning. Cuntwich is like cunt + sandwich and this makes me scratch my head. Like, how is that a real insult. Ya know what I mean.

In my case it is mostly that it is so insane I just treat her like a troll: ignore.
