The hell with it...

[ostarella]

I've probably managed to get myself banned from Digital Spy. No big loss at this point, considering the place has been so thoroughly contaminated by one poster's vindictiveness. But I finally decided to call a spade a spade. Normally I try to ignore her, but when enough bricks hit you in the head, it's kinda hard to do.

But this whole forum rules thing bugs the hell out of me. Has for some time. How do you respond "politely" and "respectfully" to other members who choose not to post "politely" or "respectfully"? It's like fighting with both hands tied behind your back. I like the way ani handles it over DTD - if you let her know when someone pulls that shit, she comes down on them like a ton of bricks. The mods over at DS take forever to respond, if at all (in this case, *not* at all). So I figure if they don't care what she posts, I have the same rights.

The really sad part about this whole thing - well, actually, there are two. First, that friends and family of Dirk's have to see that kind of crap on the web, and second, that there are people out there ignorant of her whole pathetic issue who will believe what she says.

I went and found the thread and geez, what a knob that other poster is. She also clearly doesn't "get" what an Appreciation thread is defined by over there on DS either, even though it's right at the top of the page:
A place for fans of particular housemates to post constructive and positive messages.

Heck, she mustn't have been to any conventions on the UK. I'm not much for conventions myself, but from what I've heard, if you don't get completely blasted you're doing it wrong. :D

And heck, there are some acquaintances of mine, friends of friends kind of thing, that I've only met at parties etc. They've had a few drinks on those ocassions. Do I assume therefore that they are drunk every day? Of course not, that would be stupid.

If you get banned from Digital Spy I'll be massively impressed. That's like an internet badge of honour.

Well, if I get banned under these circumstances, I'll definitely consider it an honor. :D

They should have t-shirts or at least badges: "I've been banned from Digital Spy."

Maybe I'll add that to my LJ banner LOL
