Ugh. TPP has gone from ALL sites never ever to return because she was straight up threatened in RL which is pretty far removed from “banning herself” or the implied choice it gives.

You want real opinions from real people about real problems that affect how this country is run Belly or online ghosts that drift through threads moaning at inconstancies in the pattern they see. Honesty being called a mistake is a bit of theme here.

Soz you can’t out type Houel and can’t hunt him down and beat him either. It would be terrible to have more like him for sure.

Is WikiLeaks about to release an entire month’s issue of files on your less than anonymous return to OLO Foxy? All I can make out is that you left in some kind of strop over a deleted post, got even stroppier over on some other blog when you got nailed for acting the innocent after painting the host back here as some kind of nazi then telling the others to move on, so you snuck back here when, unlike the others, you were never actually banned to start with, oh and the royal cherry on top was when you left a message telling peoples here so sweetly to accept the new name, beyond ditching your mates who welcomed you when you were first stamping your feet (which is pretty shameful), do we have to keep up the farce for some reason?

Now I need to go make some archers on evony in one of 5 accounts on a game you are not allowed alt accounts on but no one takes it seriously even if the emotions are more obvious than here and rather international.

Am I now going to find out there is a new rule along with some suspension for the shaming of sock-puppets? I got half that stuff from someone else… does that make me a sock?

Yep know the needless barbed insults too, why would you using another name , be concerned about Lexi?
And sorry you seem to be unhappy with me, not concerned at all, how was/is it in that other site?
All in all OLO is becoming a place less involved in nastiness for its sake.
How many have changed names
AGiR/Boazy, I want to say I was not aware you had been threatened like that.
Such people,the perpetrator and informant are not human.
I however am unsure how long ago ,and how any one here got your name extra.
You have my sympathy .
But evidence yet again, be aware the INTERNET is not private.
While we are not Friends, can not be, it is my view a person who did as you say should not be able to sue anyone ever.

Speaking of Lexi, my paucity of poets read, and the fascination with place names we seemingly share, it seems an appropriate time and place for a word of warning.

Some time ago, when Foxy was posting on OLO, I had asked her to post some more of Kevin Gilbert's work, specifically his poem 'Kiacatoo' (which I had never read and was interested in only because of my awareness of the place-name 'Kiacatoo', a siding on the Sydney-Broken Hill railway line near the northernmost point reached by the Lachlan River), on the basis that it would provide interesting background to an interesting name I thought I knew well. See this post to Foxy's topic 'What's Your Favourite Poem --- And, Why?': http://bit.ly/fCzbfc , with Kiacatoo mis-spelled.

Foxy had previously posted Gilbert's poem 'The Pen is Mightier than the Sword' on OLO, copied out from an old anthology, as she had been unable to find any online source to which a link could be provided. Perhaps Foxy did not have 'Kiacatoo' in her anthology, as she never posted any copy of this poem.

The warning is: Be careful what you wish for!

I have since found 'Kiacatoo' for myself. Here is a Twitpic containing the complete poem all on one page, which I would otherwise have had to split between two OLO posts, to the detriment of its appearance: http://bit.ly/h569gK

What is described therein would definitely have been against the rules, Forum or otherwise.

I had never heard so much as a whisper of it, nor does there seem to be any other record of it.

Not what I expected, Lexi.

I ignored this thread for a day or two, thinking it dead of diabetes, and lo and behold 't has to a treasure trove turned! And all the treacle and sugar is washed away with gall. I do like a clean plate. And Forrest, for mine you're sounding more like Hopkins than Blake of late.
And Lilith, I know you not but like you intemperately already!

Barbed? BARBED? Barbed in the dictionary is cutting or unkind. I was instructed to be very polite, and I have been. Needless? Correct, they were not needed I now realise but were necessary to understand whether they were needed or not.

I cannot see OLO has less nastiness than other places, just better veiled to avoid correction. In fact obscured to the point where you could miss it if you weren’t concentrating at times. And Belly, if you were concentrating you would not have ousted your friend by naming her.

Yes I am concerned; I am concerned about who the rules apply to and who can instruct others not to question them. First rule of being in a new alliance (group of 100 on evony) is working out who gets away with what and how long before you can push which rule further. Who jumps to whose defense says a lot and how the host and vice hosts react independent of each other is important to know. Not that I have yet found the equivalent of a vice host here.

I could have waited and watched I suppose but I felt impatient. I have many opinions about many things and limited time.

I think I understand how this game is played now and which rules are significant in which way and to whom.

I have been accused in the past of wondering the night vexing the sons of men Squeers. I hope it is true.

Lilith , we have form you and I a few times in the past you have given me the boot in the ribs.
That is off no concern to me, I switch of at the first sign of a domineering female.
I want to say it would be unAustralian not to stand by a mate, Lexi is such.
I will not provide you or squeers with fodder I can fight fights worth fighting, views worth expressing ,or rebutting, without what amounts to a childish intention to be unhappy with me and others no matter what we say.
