My bad

Ohhhh FFS! Dylan/Lynne/whatever, can't you get anything right? If you are going to flounce off after having a good old dig at the site and it's users at least do in fucking style and stop hanging round like a bad smell.

I agree connie. What the hell is Dylan's problem?

Right! I want the lights out on these forums in twenty minutes - it's school tomorrow. You too, Dylan - put your keyboard away and stop pulling faces at the other members.

Too much sugar, I suspect.

How old are u anyway Dylan?

Mike, she seems to want everyone to go see her site fanstory.com, though i am sure that an advert on yahoo would get more members than trying to convert the users here.

Too much believing one's own hype I fear Lou.

and for anyone who has a smidgeon of interest in dear dylan http://www.fanstory.com/selectprofilebio.jsp?userid=39319

Yes she does seem rather keen on selling fanstory and slagging off abc, doesn't she? Wondered why she got pissed off with the site so quickly.

haha..and the comments are just pure class!

Ahhh - just popped my head round the door. She's fast asleep - tooth brush still in her mouth, jim jams on back to front - spark out.

Dylan, you’re initial post was grown-up and courteous, but because you felt you weren’t responded to quick enough – you started a thread entitled ‘unbelievable.’ Despite your disproportionate response to a small delay on a busy site, most people initially tried to smooth your feathers and point out how the site works. One person told you to ‘fuck off’ for being so impatient and implying the site was crap. He later apologised and tried to make the peace. You would have none of it, however. Since then you have taken every opportunity to slag the site off, telling everybody who would listen to stop bothering posting their stuff here because it was a waste of time. You say you apologised (I have no idea what ‘my bad’ is supposed to mean, btw) but every so called apology is accompanied by yet another jibe along the lines of, if you have talent get off this site. Apart from one person’s initial response which he apologised for and an initial delay in responding to your request for feedback – what exactly are you whining about? It can’t be that people respond negatively to your insults, that wouldn’t make sense.

"Actually, if you read more posts you would see that the majority of the people on Abc are aged between 24-35. I just found out this is mostly a childrens site." And you're thirty. So...you're calling yourself...a child. Makes sense to me.

Nice tits Dylan.

Sheeeeesh. Whadda storm inna teacup. Dylan, Jack IS a grownup, on a grownup site (and even the young'ens here have an awful lot of talent, eh mike?) and, being that Jack is a grownup I'm sure he can decide for himself whether he wants to grace us with his presence. Being that he IS very talented AND chooses to hang out amongst us kiddies (I'm 36 by the way), don't you think you might let the whole 'get outta here, the place sucks' thing go? There's a certain etiquette to most sites, as you may know, and coming in shooting with both barrels is not the best tactic to establish friendly relations with the natives. Now let's everybody be friends, or I'll call the headteacher.

"In the mean time, Ive removed all my offerings from here and I don't wish to get any further involved." I have the strangest feeling of deja-vu

Ooh what fun! Nowt like a good scrap. Rather than remaining on the sidelines throwing fruit and lording it about like a Roman emperor, I thought I might toss my twopenneth worth into the arena... I LOVE YOU, DYLAN/LYNNE! xxx There we are, that's the proper Christian way of dealing with such negativity, nest-ce pas? Seriously, though, I for one have always felt the warm, welcoming bosom of ABCtales to be most therapeutic, and although I don't know who here has achieved what levels of success or whatever, being a member of the site has certainly improved my confidence re my writing talents. So there! (PS. I'm so pleased, at 33, someone still considers me a child!) :-) * P * :-) ( Read my blog! - www.oddcourgette.blogspot.com )

"I guess Im used to a little more roughness than this site can absorb so I respond in kind when Im attacked. Where I come from that's called quid pro qou" According to her profile, Dylan/Lynne is from Texas.

Don't they put the "U" after the "Q" in Texas? :-) * P * :-) ( Read my blog! - www.oddcourgette.blogspot.com )

*... coming in shooting with both barrels is not the best tactic to establish friendly relations with the natives ...* Is this something you've learned in the last few hours? Like the stupid bitch above you seem to preach things you never practice. Being a child has very little to do with age when other factors are present.

.

Pack it in, Missi, you speakie drivel to me. Give us a kiss instead, you big stud.

On another thread, Archer, you said something about Hate implying Love. Judging by the feelings directed at you by Miss I. Ssippi, I'd be expected a proposal any time soon... :-) :-) * P * :-) ( Read my blog! - www.oddcourgette.blogspot.com )

She's obviously making him sleepless too - since the local time would have been about 5.20 AM. Must be a love to keep him here so much when he's having such a great holiday :O)

Gosh, I'm so very lucky to have a love like his! :-)

It was actually 07.20. Slimey, your enemy tracking system is crap. I left Los Angeles last Friday and have been in Tennessee since then. I'm up early in order to catch a flight to Charlotte NC on my way back home. Please re-programme you radar to sweep Gatwick from approx. 10.30 Thursday. Your concern for my welfare is touching, figuratively speaking, I hasten to add, though I know I don't fit your criteria for stalking. Wrong sex, wrong age. You may however change your name and take advantage of AG's sexual preoccupation with me. I prefer women who know when to shut up.

I should make the most of it George since it could well be your last trip for a while. I'm told I have quite a good case to take you to court for libel. Have a good flight :O)

I've always wondered how this internet libel thing works, someone says something about you (that you think will slur your character in the eyes of people who have no idea who you are anyway), you get a lawyer/solicitor and then what? Do they have to employ someone to track down the 'libeler' through their isp or whatever or do you hire someone yourself? Sounds expensive either way. And how then do you prove that said libeler has libeled you, especially on here where there is a handy delete/edit button? Seems a bit of a sieve like plan to me.

only if I can be the executioner.

"I prefer women who know when to shut up." He means before they burst into laughter and shout, "OMG, is that IT!? Ha ha ha ha hahahahhaahaaaaah!" I'm *very* preoccupied with you, Missi. Very. :-)

Careful Ag...that might be libellous you know!

I'm not sure they even have court artists anymore. On the news the other day, they'd done some CGI-thingy-rendering-jobbie.

So that's where you got your pic from!

Yes, I clearly improve with age. In about 200 years I'll be at my best.

"I hereby deny any responsibility for anything my online persona allegedly says to another online persona at any time whilst online." Sincerely, AG *Um, will that do it?*

Actually, Camus, it is something I looked into doing before but it would have been difficult to prove that the poster was actually George (Missi). However, the new sytem uses verified posting. I already have George's address since he kindly posted it on the threads a while back. As for editing - well someone will need to edit a huge part of the ABC database as George has been libeling me for a long time now! The only other consideration was monetary and since George can afford to holiday in the US so often he can afford to pay me :O)

Useless trivia for the day: court artists are not allowed to draw pictures in court, they have to nip outside and do it from memory.

George is there actually anyone on the site who doesn't piss you off? Can I still count myself as a beer-without-the-beer-buddy of yours?! You grumpy old thing, you!

I too have your address, no you didn't post it on the web, you're far too cautious for that, but nevertheless I got hold of it. I have to say you scare me shitless!

Jude, I can see how it must appear that I'm a miserable bastard that dislikes everyone but that isn't really the case. Much of what I write is intended in a humorous/cynical vein rather than genuine animosity. It's always been one of my downfalls that I assume others understand my meanings. Sadly (for me), that isn't the case.

That's the first time I've ever seen a Texan write "quid pro qou" this is going to make an excellent summer story.

I've only got time for a quick note. Firstly, thanks to Lynne for flagging up my work, and for the compliments. Always nice to feel someone other than me enjoys what I write. I'm only 23 myself, so at the younger end of the site - I do want to 'get out there', as you say, and I've had a few pieces published here and there, but until I've got a novel ready, and an agent, there isn't really a next level. I'm OK with that. Secondly, ABC is a bit rough and weird, but it's all OK. People can be very childish here (including me,) but that's the same all over the Internet. It's not for everyone, but I don't feel I'm in bad company having my writing here - there are lots of other good writers for you to discover, believe me. Like to say more, but must scoot.

Dyl, cheers for the compliment on my work. I hope you do stay around you seem quite lively. Don't take too much notice of the initial 'fuck off will you', it was said more as a 'get away will you' initial thought on reading the post, which I think I explained in my posts, including what I said straight after the initial 'fuck off will you'. Anyway, hope you return, if even just for the discussions. nobody

Dylan, I hope you don't return. I noticed you were logged in a few hours ago - long after you said you were 'outta here' - checking out how your thread was progessing? The average age of this website's active members is much older than you state and most of them know how to spell quid pro quo let alone have some illiterate red-necked burger-eating texan tell them what it means. Good-bye. "I'm told I have quite a good case to take you to court for libel" Mykle, you make me howl with laughter. Whoever advised you must have been presented with twisted information. It's like a computer: GIGO. What you forget is that there is evidence amongst enough people here and on the site itself (let alone mississippi's archive) for you to be labelled 'stalker' 'cheat' and 'liar' without fear of recrimination. Some here, have long memories. Sue me, slimey.

Hahahah! I made an inadvertant pun in my last line. Sue was mykle's alter-ego when he pretended to have conversations with a woman. (He'll claim she was real).

If you are so sure of yourself (and are not just another of George's fantasy creations) then post under your real name and I'll be quite happy to include you. As it stands, I think you are doing a wonderful job of making my case for me - that is, that George's lies and malicious insinuations have been around so long that people have assumed that there is no smoke without fire. I think you will find that it was Jasper who was the stalker. So come on George - publish and be damned! :O)

For those of you who think I am being unreasonable you should consider this: On my travels I have met people from all over the world and mentioned to them that I post as Mykle on ABCtales and that it is a good site to read poetry and stories. Now, why should I have to put up with the thought of these people, many of whom have become friends and email me, having to read the constant libels, the 'affectionate' use of the term 'Slimey' and the frequent innuendoes that I am some sort of pervert. It is not just a matter of an occasional insult but a long and concerted campaign of hate. I've mentioned it to Tony and I know that he did have a word with George and it helped for a while - but things are almost as bad as ever now despite the new Rules Of Conduct In relation to the forums, ABCtales.com is proud to operate un-moderated discussion groups but it will remove any posts that contain abuse on the grounds listed above as soon as they come to the attention of the management. It will further remove other persistent abusive and personal attacks on individuals or groups which are made in a manner intended to cause harm or offence but are not necessarily based on the grounds listed above. George is ignoring this and no-one has taken any action. Hence, I am forced to take action myself. Of course the money will come in useful :O)
