Exactly. Thank you.

Buster called me a "f*cking pathetic loser", and that was allowed. "Stupid" is a walk in the park, compared to that. But I'm certain that JohnL doesn't see it that way.

It wasn’t really allowed, I got a 10 day ban. But I don’t regret saying what many people in this board think. Yes, I will claim to speak for others just like you do.

For someone who spends hours each day taking shots at people but keeping the language just tame enough to keep under the mods radar screen, you have ridiculously thin skin. And you are the primary reason few people want to engage on this forum. You can’t let 90% of posts go without comment, it’s an absurd obsession. You also have to steer discussion into the direction you want. And you’re a misogynist.

Try taking a breath once in a while when you read a post you don’t like. Try expressing your feelings about Stevie Nicks using adult words. Try to avoid needing to rally people to your side like you’re in high school. Let this be a true discussion board - where people are allowed to express themselves without getting pounded on the head by you each time. Just some advice.

I realize that it's no holds barred here these days, BUT PERSONAL ATTACKS LIKE THIS ARE UNACCEPTABLE.

That's why Elle rarely comes here anymore.

All YOU need to do is block me, yet you won't.

With the exception of the M word, that was certainly not a personal attack but more offering some personal advice on how to make this forum a better, more positive place for everyone that hasn't been driven away. It's never a bad idea to work on personal improvement.

And you are certainly not in a position to speak on behalf of Elle, she is more than capable enough to do this on her own if she so chooses. If she is fed up with the constant bickering on the Rumours forum then one only needs to look at who is at the centre of this problem every time and realise THAT is the actual issue.

Based on what Homer is a mysoginist? Because he doesn't like Stevie? Because I honestly haven't seen him verbally attacking any female poster here. Stevie's fans are ALWAYS gonna complain. No news here.

I don't think Homer is speaking on behalf of Elle without speaking with her before. Many posters here talk outside this forum.

They can't fathom that we could possibly be connected outside of this forum. How myopic can one be?

Thank you.

'THEY'??? '
Of course many of us speak with her outside of this forum, myself included. So you will know exactly why she no longer posts here then.

Perhaps you didn't read or understand my post at all, but I didn't say he was mysoginist, I personally would never use that word. I was commenting on the fact that John's post was not a personal attack with the exception of him using the M word.

Yes, believe it or not, I understood your post. How shocking is that?

I was also commenting on his post, not on your answer to his post, but whatever.
