why was this site started?

(Waving a white flag above the parapet!) Does all this mean I might be allowed back in?

Dunno, I was Switzerland in that world war. Best you ask those you upset. No one gets 'thrown out'. I would suggest if you hadn't escalated the 'game' to the level you did, that final row would not have happened. All you had to do was back off a tad.

i dibs having been turkey.

Oh, come on Mississippi, join in again mate.

zzzzzzzzz is it footee season yet? zzzzzzzz

Game, set and match, Mersey.

Why was this thread started? Hasn't this already been stated and done to death in the two threads you are talking about?

I agree with onan. Why repeat Diana's comments on the ABC raison d'etre and stir it up again? It was this kind of irritating thread that wound a few people up in the first place! The 'opinionated' writers here mostly talk about topics other than themselves. If a few others followed that example the forum would not have the problems you refer to. Yours, in the open, without deceit, without an alias, without pretence, without manipulation of the tender hearted. Now, pack it in or I will leave in a huff! *exits hoping you all will call me back - stay stormy, please don't go! .....and if you don't say that.... I'll leave a few more times* BTW if anyone is interested. Johnny Stringers server addy is the same as the one in the 'I love you all' thread below.

Stormy by name, stormy by nature. Come on back then you petulant bugger. You know we love you. What's embarassing is when you make a bit of a drama queen exit and then decide that maybe you are missing out...perhaps you could just peek in...add a comment or two...dammit then you're back with a red face. Trust me, I've done it. Come back dearest (yawns)...we need you (was that alright?) One thing I agree with...grrrr I hate aliases...everyone needs to come of the closet.

Stormys not going anywhere. He's just gloating that he spotted who Stringer is :-)

Wolfie, you are one fo the people that I like and I don't think you have jumped on the "We hate Spag" bandwagon. Now then I work for Newsquest London and I found out through research that so does someone else on ABC tales. I know I didn't write it. If you people don't believe me. Well, I couldn't really give a damn. Now I know you will all cheer madly now. I am gone from ABC. But the catch is this- I am going to edit and re-edit my work so I am always on the site to infuriate you all. oh- Have a nice day

that's THE most petulant l've read on this site marvellously entertaining :-))

I'm not clever enough (technically speaking) to understand about all this server stuff. But no, chappy I do not hate anyone. It's sad that anyone feels they have to leave, for whatever reason. But hey, nothing is written in stone...I'm a flower child at heart (I draw the line at the smelly sheepskin coat though) and I'd like us all to get along, even if we all might have some feisty spats now and again. Surely a writer is someone who can debate, argue their case, deconstruct and reconstruct the world. Sigh.

Why can't we all get on like civilised, mature adults? If you don't like what someone has written on a thread then I think it would be best for you to ignore it, instead of resorting to nastiness. As Lennon once said 'give peace a chance'!! :-)

exactly! reminds me of my favourite LP. it's a bit scratched nowadays and tends to stick. I'll play a track for you children. Listen........ Doe, a deer, a female deer Ray, a drop of golden sun Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me damn sorry

Far - a long long way to go :-) So - f*%^ing what La - La La La La La La La oops!!!!! sorry;-)
