Glad I can't post on that Forum as I was gonna offer a "ching or Lady Godiva " for the pair....:)

OK, so you caught me spoiling for a joust in the For Sale section - I have been trying to keep a low profile lately. When I saw someone trying to sell ugly shoes, I felt obliged to step in and offer them my thoughts...

[Jah Lush]

Quite right too. Well done DM Crocs are an offense to humanity and sooooo 2006.

[dulwichmum]

Clearly!

[Muley]

And offer your thoughts you did, DM.

Just wondered why you went on from there to offer insult and condescention (not to mention unpleasant speculation as to another forumite's circumstances and values) just because she disagreed with you over shoes. Entertaining as the 'Dulwichmum' persona is, you were using it to rather acid effect, wouldn't you say?

[dulwichmum]

But of course (sigh)... very me, don't you think?

Have you ever been to the school gates sweetie? Watch and learn!

Isn't Twitter stupid?

[dulwichmum]

I love Twitter! It is great fun. I think it's a fabulous way to connect with people, it makes me chuckle all day, particularly in those meetings that are so boring that you want to gnaw off your own arm...

Hello DM, just read your reply now (posted just before I left for the weekend).

Very you? Well, very much the 'Dulwichmum' character certainly, a creation no doubt informed by your personal observation (obviously including the school gate bitchery!). I wouldn't know how much of the creator goes into the character.

My point was that while many on the EDF enjoy and willingly engage with DM, the whole Crocs thread was different- you actively sought out a couple of forumites in a hitherto light-hearted thread (one in particular) and made a point of being particularly rude to them- 'spoiling for a joust' as you called it. Not everyone creates an online persona, or is familiar with yours, so your remarks made 'in character' could easily cause offense.

That said, it seems your opponent on the thread is now giving as good as she gets and seems to be enjoying herself!

Anyway, lets not fall out- I shall be leaving a little something on the bar in the Quiet room as a goodwill gesture!
