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.

DS from my understanding is like this huge thing and I suspect the mods have bigger fish to fry to be honest. Where as I have nothing better to do than release me wrath on people. =P Nor am I answerable to a corproation ^__^

Actually *blush* I better go check DTD. I hate to say this but I haven't had time to keep up with it as much as I should and was kinda relying on you and Tracy to report things if it got bad while I freaked out 6 ways to Sunday over my convention presentation ^^;;

But now hopefully I can get back to paying attention.

ON the behavior in question, man I have no comment other than I stopped trying to figure out stupid on the internet a LONG time ago. It's usually just people who want attention. I've seen friends of mine attacked like that (well I say attacke dlike that I've not been on DS in forever but I can take a good guess as the pattern changes not much at all) and it's just to make a name. You know attack the Big Name and people notice you and some people don't give a gosh darn of the attention is positive or negative.

What I don't understand is there's an entire other fandom that will quite gleefully agree with her when she bashes Dirk. So I don't know why she doesn't just go post to the other fandom and get positive attention.

I suspect she must just like aggrevating people -_-

Oh and yeah if yu get banned from DS I'll make you an icon to rpoudly display *LOL*

Oh wow - an Ani Icon! Now I *really* hope I get banned! LOL

Well, look for more pictures posted on DTD by yours truly - DS will, alas, have to do without my contributions anon... ;-)

You know I enver even could get on there. Not worth the hassel.

I hope the Mustache pic is still on ebay when I get home. I need to scar some more people and I need to scan that magazine clip . . a lot of 'em actually. :(


One thought though, to be fair I say ummm equally horrific things about Paris Hilton. But then I don't go to a group of Paris Hilton fans and say these things. It's interesting though because you bring up friends and family and I gotta say personally I never invisioned DTD for those types either. Heck, as positive as they are, I'd think the discussion of the ahhhh "assets" of some the pictures on DTD is not something and exaclty something I'd want friends and family to see. I can't even imagine running into a thread discussing the sexiness of my dad online *LOL*

I think Tracy covers the "person" side fine so, I'm going for celebrity like 99% of all other LJ communities. =P

But that doesn't mean anythig goes clearly!
Even I have my limits.
Which are crossed by tabloids on a daily baises -_-

Well, I think with friends and family - I mean, I do a search now and again on my family members, just to see what's out there. In fact, I think that's how Dirk learned there was a page of his quotes from BB - his son found it. But if I were to see something out there about how sexy my brother or my son was - frankly, I think I'd kinda puff up a bit :P Just like I'd be on the warpath if I saw something nasty.
