The hell with it...

ostarellaI'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.

Date: 2008-07-16 05:50 am (UTC)I'm waiting to see what her response is - or maybe she's gone crying to the mods. Who knows? But I just had to say something at this point - I know, I know - I'm usually so quiet and demure, never get into fracases of any sort. This is so unusual for me, I'm all in a twitter...
So - the gist of the comments - we all agree she's certifiable, we all agree Dirk is the nicest of men and doesn't deserve this kind of treatment -
and Billy and I are both out of luck with the cruise fantasies.
Shit...
