The hell with it...
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.

That whole drinking thing - my god. I started drinking when I was only a few years older than Dirk was, so I *know* from drinking. And to hear her tales of other conventions she goes to (not Dirk related) she's got a lot bigger problem with it than she even accuses him of. But basically, she takes bits and pieces of what he's said and puts them together in a whole new story to suit her perceptions...
I mean, let's face it (no pun intended ;-)) - a "drunk" could NOT raise two fine sons like he has. There just ain't no way.

I like a drink! I make sure I have a drink at the weekends, too! That's my treat :D I don't get to go out and *socialise* like I use to, so I make sure I have a glass (or two or three) of wine or some bottles of lager over the weekend. I'm not an alcoholic :D honest!
I don't allow myself to drink during the week... just because well, for obvious reasons... health, diet, weight.. and we can't afford it!!! lol!
