Here's your nasty post, Booradley.

It pretty much puts you in the same category as Southern.

Can we add "passive-aggressive" to that list?

Far, Jives, and the rest: We have seen scenes like this how many times before? Folks come in, act like children, try to stir the pot, succeed in a little reaction from all of us defending our friends, and then we get bored with them and wait for them to hang themselves, at which point we have a quick giggle, and go back to our peaceful garden. Every once in a while, when things get quiet around here we'll drag out the old threads, having a good laugh at how quickly trolls are spotted and eliminated, and that is the end of it. It never, EVER fails. The ignorance of the trolls is their undoing every time. Like LC said with the last one: "Don't feed the trolls." They'll be history soon enough.

I agree, how on earth was that nasty or rude? I actually found it witty and rather amusing

Obviously, you've never been to the South. Down here, the 'Ladies' are expert at that back-stabbing, passive-aggressive, sweet-little-ol'-me that seems to be the stock in trade of a few posters on here. I won't name names, since y'all are rather sensitive to that. :-6

And y'all have made comments about Moonies 'ganging up' on newbies - can I have a different explaination for what we've seen here today? Of course, I'm sure that y'all will have a totally different viewpoint from any normal person who'd see pushy questions being answered.

*shakes head* I'd be willing to bet that your version of a moderator will be along eventually to clean up 'my' mess and put things back to your version of 'right'.

Oh yeah,,,,,just one more passing comment. Thanks for the assumption of youth for me. I lied on the age thingo when I signed up. :p

okay, it's time for the stalking interlopers to either BEHAVE, or exit. for the latter, you can do so gracefully and with dignity, or you can be banned.

my patience for childish forum-stalking is very thin right now. we have a community here. when people come into the community and start walking around the neighborhoods hassling those who've lived here peacefully for quite a while now, well, it pisses me off. this is a 'gated community' as it were. we have the right to toss out the riffraff if we want.

take a hike of your own accord, or be shown the door.

your choice.

Southern Belle · Post by **Southern Belle** » Thu Oct 27, 2005 5:51 pm

So, am I 'Riff' or 'Raff'? Gotta be one or the other since 'Riffraff' was male and in THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW

Alright already,,,,, *salutes smartly* Since y'all can't read and realize that BabyRider started all this with pushy-shovey questions, well, that's just your loss :p

Very nice door - Buh-bye, for now :wah:

As we can well see.

I've seen the thread in Wicked Moon where Olin posted a photo of Raven's sons and you all proceeded to insult her ability, her sons' appearance, her appearance and any other thing your diseased little minds could come up with.

In other words, it's the direct antithesis of this forum, where we all compliment, support, and comfort each other. No wonder they don't fit in.

When boo posted the link to this place, she said it was important to "play nice" which I thought included your herd, but once again you prove that's an impossibility.

So there we have the sad story of the beginning of this mess. It was Booradley who led the barbarians to our gate.

I AM NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THESE PEOPLE!:-5

I read you loud and clear, Snooze. And I have to say, that it's pretty obvious, you don't act like them at all. Just for my own information, and so I can update my ignore list.....would you mind listing the "bad guys" for me? Who exactly is in the group from WickedMoon. (And what an appropriate name for their forum, I might add!)

Southern Belle · Post by **Southern Belle** » Fri Oct 28, 2005 7:10 am

LOL - you're right Snoozie, you're not with 'this group'. We've spent the last several months banning you on a weekly basis, since you keep signing up over there.

But no,,,,,you're really not with us.

And Jives? it wasn't Boo who started all this.

Jives · Post by **Jives** » Fri Oct 28, 2005 7:18 am

Leaders aside, all of you joined this Forum within days of each other. Whomever tipped you off must have some reason to bring you all in here. I again am going to state my point in all this, you have come in here with the wrong intentions. If you have issues with anyone in particular deal with them on your own time in your own space. FG does not take kindly to attacks by outsiders.

When have I ever had any issues with you?

Did I ever do anything to make you feel unwelcome on WM?

Wolverine · Post by **Wolverine** » Fri Oct 28, 2005 8:59 am

i am at a loss.

i have no problem with newbies. the more the merrier. the more crowded it gets the easier for me to cop-a-feel.

but when Newbies come in here and start lashing out in their first few posts...

you haven't earned the privilege to go off on anyone yet. not that you should belittle someone in public anyway. if you have a problem with someone in here send them a PM, or put them on your ignore list. Contact on of the Mods. and if all that fails, LEAVE.

where the F**k are your manners. It is just plain rude.

You used the word 'MEAN' 3 times in this post....that (as an adjective) about sums up the some of the people that have crawled into FG.lately . You've dumped BAD karma here....please pick it up and find the exit. The guys and gals here deserve better....upsetting a bunch of wonderful people is NOT ON !

Actually, It's good to know out in the open what's going on. If it wasn't for this thread, I would've assumed the the influx of aggressive and mean-spirited newbies was coincidental.

Thanks to this thread, I took a walk over to WickedMoon to see what kind of a place it was.

Imagine my horror at what I found. Insults, degradation, and flaming are the rule not the exception. It's not a mirror image. It's the negative of this picture. Depravity, immorality, sacrilige, and hatred abound.

They even have a thread for bashing weaker people. Can anyone who was a part of that fit in here, where a the exact opposite is true?

Frankly...I doubt it.

Alas, the painting is located in a garage in the states, and as strega has since changed locations, and I am unable to contact her, in a garage it remains.

(I painted it for free) The painting is indeed titled 'Strega's Rose'.

In the time between me painting it and getting it to her, I've moved twice and I believe she has moved as well.

Yes. Start simple. Experiment with mixing colors. Buy some technique books such as Bob Ross or Bill Alexander and follow the guides! I promise you'll be painting wonderful pics with your first attempt! Relax and enjoy the experience! Its a great outlet for stress. And remember, nothing limits you but your own imagination!:-6
