Sneering

[Louisa]

I think the time has come for us to have a grown up adult discussion about the true meaning of this word. As I am banned from the general issues section and cannot respond publicly to some of the pretty nasty sneering aimed at me on a certain other thread, I would like to raise it here.

In defence of my PM to this 'robbin' person, I was trying to make the point that sneering DOES work both ways. You can't accuse me of being obnoxious on the one hand (based on previous posts) when the very comment I am refering to made by you is indeed obnoxious. Lots of pot kettle black stuff going on here today.

A lot of my humour is lost in translation, but the lack of humour in some posters whilst sneering is obvious for all to see most of the time (I do hope you are taking note admin). I'm sick to the back teeth of people misunderstanding me even after I've explained myself, then winding me up knowing full well I can't respond on the thread in question. It's sneaky underhand tactical stuff which exposes your apparent 'anti troll' rants for what they really are, TROLLING.

It does not seem at all fair that people here on EDF are being allowed to continue

mocking and insulting some one who is no longer in a position to defend themselves.

It's not right. and people doing so know that.

I have to agree that there are some unbelievably humourless people on this forum.

I think it is just that Louisa's humour and also my own humour does not come across in written form.

It is true what Louisa said 'A lot of her humour is lost in translation'

That would seem to apply to myself..

Face to face its is easier to get what people are getting at when you have eye contact.

The little glint in the eye, the wink, the nod.. :)

If it helps, I have resolved no longer to rise to the bait. So you need not worry about any future replies from me.

[Louisa]

More subtle sneering. Get off your high horse. If you didn't want to respond and genuinely believed in the 'anti-troll' references you so spouted on the other thread, surely you'd not respond at all? Instead we have the 'not me honest gov' approach, where you reply by saying you won't be replying. If that isn't trolling I don't know what is.

I agree, why should Louisa have to put up with everyone's 'take' on her but she doesn't have a voice in that area. Wrong on every level...

[MrBen]

I'm totally baffled. I thought you were leaving the forum Louisa?

Can anyone shed any light on all of this? i'm lost now...

[Salsaboy]

So WTF was all this about then? http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?20,1498683

[keekybreeks]

there are a select few who are dressed in the orange jumpsuit and ankle tag of the Gitmo lounge. welcome to the club.

[maxxi]

She was only ever banished to the Lounge... did you not get the memo?

[Louisa]

The old Louisa is dead, I've promised myself and a few others to not steer back into previous conversational favourites of mine, and as yet have not done so. Then someone tries to push my buttons to get me to talk about a topic I have tried to leave behind me. So rather than rise to that, I am back with a completely different take on local issues. I refuse to be drawn on Iceland, class or parents with a buggy. From now on, I want to be taken seriously, any drinks events on the horizon? I refuse to be trolled back into previous topics.

Louisa.

[KidKruger]

Is that steer, or sneer ?

[Louisa]

KK both. The only sneering that's gone on today and since I've been banished, has been from certain other posters. You know, the ones who bang on about evil trolls whilst doing it themselves?

Louisa.

[steveo]

Yes, your take on the Clayton Arms was literally revolutionary and passed without comment

Until now

I've not even started steveo. You wait for my next thread instalment, bird watching in Belair Park.

[MrBen]

I for one don't mind having you around Louisa - even if those old topics you refer to were getting done to death by you and boring many. But if you're going to flounce then for god's sake do it properly....

Coming back after just 2 days doesn't really count!

MrBen as I explained to Jeremy, I really tried but couldn't do it. I tried to delete my profile and realised it wasn't possible, then I thought oh bugger it the forum is getting more and more dull as many faces disappear, may as well go down with the sinking ship.

Louisa.

[SCSB79]

Maybe you should just get out more Louisa?

So what would've been better? If she'd done a proper 'flounce' and not returned at all?

You say you don't mind having her around so why question a change of decision?

You should be celebrating instead. One less missing person.

Lou - when you do a massive rotten fart, sometimes it takes a while for the aroma to dissipate.

Try to think in terms of you having done one long, continuous, stinking guff - continually - for several years. You can't wave your hand a bit and away it goes. Can't be done. Its going to take some window opening and duvet wafting; possibly even a scented candle.

[Earl Aelfheah]

You've made me laugh Bob thank you.
