Sad

I don't think unshakeable self-belief is a problem for many people. It's more likely structurally unsound and occasionally crumbling self-belief with an exterior of unshakeable assertiveness built around it. Kind of like the morals of your average corporation or government. Appearances count for everything.

Kind of like the houses they build nowdays, as well... They look nice, but you can poke a finger through the plaster with little effort....

Smiley. You're absolutely right! Liana is a blatant liar. She is demonstrating here that she believes she is now free to twist the truth because her "enemies" have been silenced and can't speak up for themselves. Wrong Liana! Let me demonstrate something. I was blocked twice. The first time I had no idea who had blocked me or why. I presumed it was a site gliche so I decided to log in with an alternative server. This was late in the evening and the only active members present in the forums were liana and mississippi. I left a comment in the topic thread which includes the "nemesis" comment and within seconds I had been blocked yet again. I knew immediately that it was Liana. You're a terrible liar and a terribly distasteful, bitter lady. For what it's worth: I've seen more abuse dished out to members by liana and mississippi in the past 12 months than I've seen from any other member. You are both alarming liabilities to this community and discouraged ALOT of people from participating.

I'm quite happily settled in at ukauthors now and what a breath of fresh air it is compared to this poorly managed, discriminate, sack of shit you call a creative outlet. Tony: the sooner you realise how destructive your cosy gathering of old time cronies are the sooner you will attract substance to the site rather than this territorial bag of restrictive, bitter old toss. Karl Wiggins summed it nicely when he said that when he's writing he can't visit abctales.com. What a great job you're all doing!!

So why come back here you cock-sucking cretin? And for what it's worth I KNOW that Liana doesn't have the means or authority to block anyone. Neither do I. More's the pity...

And why aren't you wearing your disguise and 'INFILTRATING'?

... like anyone cares? Least of all me. Havent you some infiltrating to do?

"I'm quite happily settled in at ukauthors now" Liar.

Shark attack ... everybody out of the water! God you mob are thick and toothless ... it was Flush!

Peace on Earth, goodwill to Men.

What's that smell?

Probably your upper lip.

No, it's stale booze and spite Ag :o)

WHOOOOOOOSHHHHH! Smiley: What was that? AG: Dunno. Sniff: Just another post flying over your heads. Not everything on this site revolves around you two, you know. There's no need to get snippy just because you aren't bright enough to understand what's going on. Sniff.

Oh, those two know what's going on here alright, Sniff. But take from me, the amalgamtion attempt will be fought by those of us whom place individuality above hack writers playing POP - lackey. So maybe you'd like to try to run that Whoooosh of yours beneath my blades! *wink*

It's wedding invite time folks. Will some one read the bans?

It's hard to miss when it's over our heads and under our noses, sniff. Still, it's AOL proxies that have an 'iffy' whiff and cause people to smell a rat... Mr rat@webmaster.uka :o) [%sig%]

I think you look more true to yourself and us as WANK, Wink ... he's a Uka cocksucker too, Smilely! See Sniff, I told you they know exactly what's going on here... so go toss off elsewhere, dip-shit.

i think i just saw a life whzzing past you lot then... nip out and grab it if it comes past again, yeah?

I agree with Liana... time to let it drop. I feel that some ideologically unsound decisions were made - but at least they had the virtue of being pragmatic given the difficult circumstances. Everyone needs to pull together now to ensure that the site survives and is given chance to grow and evolve... because, you know as well as I do, life just wouldn't be the same without it! [%sig%]

...coming from you two: Smiley (6 posts in one day) starts the thread and Liana responds (5 times in one day) and now the pair of them have the audacity to tell off us who post far less? Jeez. Life whizzing past? Well, we all know that Jasper doesn't have a life beyond his PC and that Smykle, despite his platitudes above (pukes into bucket), carries grudges and has done his best to keep the animosity going in recent months. Me? 10.30am. Had a lie in, completed the sudoku and crossword but fell 3pts short on the Scrabble challenge. Noon: Had a shower. 1.30: Went clothes shopping in nearby town. Pulled over en-route to let police-transit pass. Assumed the bastards were late for lunch. 2.30: Next sale. Go upstairs... temp rises considerably... hit by stench of unwashed men... it's vile, we feel sick and leave. 2.40: Enter Burtons for the first time in ten years (not bad for a self-imposed boycott) and buy two pairs of cut-offs and a shirt for my forthcoming hols. 3.00: Enter WHS. 3.30: Leave WHS £100 poorer. 3.45: Drive past Homebase. It is sealed off by police. Greenshirted employees, many of whom are on cell phones, are standing at side of road. I shout BANG through open window. Astonished looks from the greenshirts. Wife and daughter do not speak to me for remainder of journey. I thought it funny. 3.55: Hard braking. A car, three in front of us, has driven into a lampost. No one seems hurt, drive on home. 4.15: Eat a late lunch whilst flicking channels between the cricket and the news. 5.30: Tee up for first of 9 holes of golf. 7.00: Drink beer after successful round. 8.00: Cook fry-up. 9.30: Watch film with family. 00.30: Spend 30 mins catching up on the threads and 15 mins making this post. Hardly life whizzing past me, eh? BTW. The most posts to this thread are as follows: Archergirl: 18 Mississippi: 11 Smiley: 10 Liana: 7 Me: 7 Hen: 5

Lol ... and you claim they don't have a life, when here you are counting thread posts and every bowel motion you have daily ... Jezzzzzzus! Mind you, you seem to have Jasper on the brain still ... and yet he hasn't posted her for some 2 months or so! Mind you, I won't let him do so because I feel you've all done such a marvellous job lately to destroy this site on your own idiotic behalf without him! So errr... which bug is really up your arse today, Strummy, pray tell? If you all wanted this site to be what it was meant and portrayed to be, then you'd get off your self righteous bums and reconsider the external and economical impacts those recent bans have actually had on authorial parity and patronage here ... serves you damn right though, Tony Cook, as Jasper did warn you of the consequences of censorship via hypocritical politics and cultural moderators! Even Neil-the-Auditor has recently discovered how over-precious other cultures consider their own stupid totem ideologies to be within global forums! So don't get a life ... get a real life!

******.

w.anker

Ahhh, Strummy: you're such a predictable coward!

goodness... why did you suppose i was talking to you? My posts were mostly made a month ago... you dont have to list your day like that to convince me that you have a life. (Unless of course it's not me you are trying to convince...)

***Post removed by ABCtales.com Editors*** This post was not by Mississippi and was removed at his request.

can anyone smell beans?

My only beef with Alumbloom came when he abused me relentlessly during Dec/Jan for no reason... mental illness doesnt excuse that kind of behaviour. Thanks for flagging it Mykle, well done - Im glad I know that has been put on! Helpful indeed.

Yes, Liana, at least ABC has posted it - can't be all bad then :o) Strangely, Tony told me on the Thursday (June 16) - following the Sunday banning - that he had not asked for anyone to be blocked from ABCtales.com... so who had and was it done behind his back?

No idea.. I'm sure you'll come up with a theory though.

:o)

Just a coincidence I'm sure Liana, but I did notice that all those that were 'blocked' were people you felt had abused you ;o)

If I had ANY sway over who is and who isnt allowed to post here, you and your paranoid stupidity would've been wiped out months ago. Moron.

I think all of this is very sad.

I was! Have you forgotten already, Liana? What interests me is: how did you know that Maxwell (Alumbloom) was going to be blocked when it seems that Tony Cook himself didn't know? I know, I know, coincidence :o)

Mykle - give up this ridiculous nonsense right now. I have been very patient with you - but my patience is running very thin.

Oh dear, poor alumgoon. He comes here, bores the arse off everyone with his prolonged row about gypos with his neighbours, then caps his career here by posting a terrorists guide to bomb making, now wants us all to feel guilty about him cos in reality he was ILL!! He says we should all feel ashamed and guilty! Well I for one am glad the wan.ker has gone, along with ritatripes and the wallaby shagger. The only thing i feel bad about is that the last resident bore and predator, the above Slimey, is STILL here posting his garbage and causing people to go find something else to do. He is responsible for the departure of several far more interesting people than himself with his incessant pre-occupation with his own worth(lessness) and (lack of) intelligence. Will someone PLEASE ban him before he kills this forum completely. I for one spend less and less time here because it's no fun anymore and boring. I'm fast losing interest in this place. The refusal to reinstate pop2top coupled with morons like slimey, has finished this place for me. Now where was it Andrew went to?

I apologise to you Tony, I promised you I would desist if you asked me to. The above was my final shot before I throw away my musket.

Well ban me again then Tony - because we both know it is not ridiculous! For the sake of the site I have not mentioned that after I got The Arts Council to forward my email to you that you assured me twice that I was not 'blocked'. First on the 15th: "As far as I am aware there has been no move to 'block' you from the Forums. I have had an email correspondence with John Handelaar today who says that you are not blocked." Second on the 16th: "I have sent on your message to John Handelaar to ensure that you are not 'blocked'. He assures me that you are not. I have not asked for anyone to be blocked from ABCtales.com" It wasn't until I threatened to involve the local paper that you emailed to say, again on the 16th: "Try again now. We've re-defined some parameters and it may be that you were unintentionally caught in some form of crossfire." We both know that Liana told Alumbloom before he was banned that Fingers (John H) was his nemesis - so she knew before you did or you were lying! Since I know you are a failed politician I'm not too sure which it is Tony. I will stay until I'm banned because I want others to know how things are - not because I want to. Smiley :o)

Jesus... i didnt know alumbloom was blocked. How could i? I said fingers was a hero because he removed (i assume) the "why do womens c***s taste like beans" thread and a couple of other offensive ones that had sprung up. THATS why I said he was his nemesis - youre not related to David Icke by any chance are you - you seem to have the same take on reality.

Can we just go back to having conversations about stuff and calling one another 'petal' and move on, please? All involved? What's done is done. Regrettably. But nevermind.

Would be fine by me. Absolutely marvellous. But until this total plank stops accusing me of things I havent done, and have no means of doing, no. Unfortunately.

Smiley, petal, would you kindly let it go now? We were talking about Zarathustra when all the dukkie hit the fan....

'dukkie'? Is that a real synonym for poop? What country's it from?

Crock of shite ... the article, this thread and smiley - who has hated me and Liana ever since we caught him cheating by self-rating, self-hitting (his work, sadly, and not himself) and by pretending to be sue-lynn in the forum - he'll deny this of course, forgetting that his/her posts are still there for all to see! Grin :-)

self-hitting himself? Jeez, me need grammar lessons.

I wasn't quite sure how to spell 'dukkie'. That's how some'd spell it. I also thought about 'dookie', with a long 'oo' like 'spooky'. 'Dooky'? It's an Americanism.

'A crcok of shit'. Stormy, have you been watching re-runs of 'Miami Vice' ?

I just received this horrid right-wing propaganda letter/email from my mother titled: "A Letter from the President" (meaning, that tit in the Oval Office, I suppose). I emailed her back and told her it was the biggest crock of shit I'd ever read. 'Crock of shit'. It's a good phrase. I always imagine one of those dark brown glazed earthenware jars from the Seventies. Filled with dukkie. I don't think Don Johnson ever said, "dukkie", however...
