okay i just thought i would ask, not that the guilty party or parties will im sure admit....and it would have to be someone from this forum......did you recall the comment written on Hgtv site....janetc is a wart on foxxy's butt, how pathetic and immature is that.....what the heck kind of behaviour is that? when are you guilty ones ever know when enough is enough.....i know it had to come from here as im only known on this site by janetc......no need to respond, maybe someday you all may come to your senses and grow up! Needless to say your words are disgusting.....as for the members who support these people and thier wrong doings should be ashamed too....sorry to have to bring this forward publicly but certain people had no problem being a coward and saying this on another open forum

Does anyone get the feeling that Galbraith is actually a certain recently banned member? Just a thought! I've been viewing for a long time but this forum has gotten out of hand. If you don't want to talk decor or other relevant stuff then maybe it's best not to post!
First off, I fail to see why this thread has turned into a rant about me TO me. I simply suggested to Janet that she tell us where this post were made, I don't condone posting under aliases, here or anywhere else. I go to this site and this site alone. However, I refuse to believe she did NOT insinuate that myself or others ‘associated’ with me had nothing to do with it, hence, I politely asked her where to find this post. When such insinuating accusations are made, I prefer the RIGHT to defend myself, and the ability to dismantle such accusations. SURELY you can appreciate the righteousness of this DBD.
As for the locked threads, I urge you to go back and read, I find it laughable that I’m apparently the sole reason any threads have been locked, now or in the past. But believe what you will, it would take a mountain to change your opinion on me. I’d HATE to take credit, where credit is not due, but if you wish.
I just reread some of this thread and something struck me I hadn't noticed before. Your initial posts made no implication (I could see) regarding who you suspected of posting such rude and ugly posts on the other site yet there are a select few people who got particularly defensive.
Now I wonder why that would be? So, as I tap my finger on my cheek and wonder...could it be they are particularly sensitive to it being as they did indeed do such an abhorent thing? Maybe they jumped as they seem to always jump in their ongoing campaign to smite you (or the chosen other few deemed worthy of slamming on a constant basis for some incomprehensible reason that just keeps going and going longer than the Energizer bunny)? Either way, not particularly civil, necessary, or what's way way worse, not surprising given what we are getting too used to seeing.
Whoever it is who moved their griping to another forum (deja vu?), you just know they have no concept of forum ettiquette here or in other forums apparently as it seems they were silenced (oh my kingdom for that kind of silence). Perhaps we could link some private chat rooms so when they need to spew (and can't keep it from becoming identifiable in another forum) they are free to type their little hearts out. It might be more satisfying too since a private chat room doesn't usually delete bad posts as does a forum that's just trying to get on with decorating.
Try not to let it get you down. At least the posts were seen for the tacky crap they were and taken off the other site. I think this thread pretty much gives readers here a good idea of who they are dealing with.
one has to spend a matter of minutes on this board before it is apparent that Janetc is going to be offended by something someone did and hits send before she has really thought it through.
It also doesn't take one much time on this forum to see that many expend much negative energy toward a member named Aan.
Glaswegian is pretty new and has managed to make snarky comments and offend half a dozen or so people and make insinuations about several members which leads me to think that this person has been around longer than the 100+ posts under his belt.
There are countless Guests online here at any given time. Some of us started out that way - read the nonsense and are compelled to weigh in when the scales are tilted heavily to one side. I did just that. I have also tried to post about design but I guess that will undoubtedly offend you as well.
As was pointed out by another member - why not hit the ignore button if my comments offend you so.
at the previous post to you. It has had additional info added as for some reason the post was submitted before I was ready. that might answer your question.
The question is why did YOU feel the need to respond so quickly when you are such a new member? I find it puzzling that you would even care, unless.........
I must have missed that thread.
why didn't you just leave this one alone?
Galbraith you can take the blame off of us for the locks. Yes we responded and defended against what where cheap and insulting posts. If you think that was the cause of the locks you are mistaken. There would have been no need for responses had the original post not appeared.
go check the members posts and you will see that indeed I and some others did post in those threads. Often in the main part rather than in the contenscious parts. What is also true is that none of us participated in all of them. ONly one person's name is in all of them. Quit trying to pass the buck.
Could we have just left it? Sure, but there comes a point when a constant source of insult has to be dealt with. People have the right to respond when these types of offensive posts continue to happen.
Should the threads be locked? I'd rather see the offending posts removed than lock a thread but I guess they see it as a cease and desist and it is entirely up to the mods.
Regardless, you have to look at the flash point and when it's that same person, all of the time, consistantly using tactics that are not appropriate, you can't blame those who respond as the source of the problem.
Dustbunnydiva and Glaswegian Janetc and Smoodgie2 were heavy posters in those locked threads...
If you search Smoodgie2 you will find that Smoodgie2 used to be Smoodgie (no 2). Apparently this person was banned before.
Stop using Aan as your whipping post. It is obvious that Janetc was WAY out of line starting this post that has absolutely NO PLACE on this forum. That's the simple truth.
Ah......this AAN sounds like a piece of work then, judging by the posts am reading here. This person has been banned, and 7 threads have been locked since the their return?
I rest my case :rolleyes:
I used to work with an argumentive guy that no-one at the office much liked and he told me that his mother once said to him that he could get into an argument in an empty house. Some people just can't get along with others. I don't know why, some people might say they had an unpleasant childhood or feel so inferior in their life that they take every opportunity to be rude and obnoxious wherver they can get away with it. Frankly I don't really care. I do care when people are picked upon incessantly for no good reason other than to bother someone else though.
To quote a very wise and eloquent person, Dustbunnydiva "If you have such an issue with the way things are run (and the bannings etc.) or the people who post here, then maybe this isn't the most condusive place for you to get your decor fix."
How thick headed do you have to be to not get that?
And please allow me to inform you that both yourself and smoodgie have been on plenty of the locked threads.
It never ceases to amaze me that this continues to go on. Aan, go back and check the members posts section. There were no locked threads prior to your return however there are several now. What would you think is the common factor there? I sure wondered so out of curiousity, I checked the members posts just to see how often things like this happen. It even surprised me to see that it was you who was at the heart of each and every lock (I had suspected there might be others, but nope, there wasn't). But the evidence is there, no denying it can all be easily seen in the site's own record.
Each and every of the 7 or so locked threads have occured since your return. There were no locked threads prior to this. Each and every locked thread was due to your taking a thread off track by using insults, digs, or some other unrelated post that set people off. Each and every one of those instances was due to a post by you which served to instigate it all and usually it was always a dig at the same people who, for whatever reason, you seem to have some issue with. Others merely participated either to defend themselves or because nerves were raw.
If you think (as you have mentioned in some other threads) that you are picked on, check out what preceeded any post that was directed to you. There is always a post of yours that came first with one of your snipes in it.
We (I think it's safe to speak for many other's in this regard) don't need people always feeling they need to defend themselves when a comment unrelated to a thread or which serves only to get someone's ire is posted. I would hope you don't like it either yet you continue to stir it up. Certainly opposing opinions are welcome but when delivered along with a personal insult or snipe, things get out of hand and after it occuring for some months now I think people have some very raw nerves and have had enough.
I am so tired of this. I've asked it before, I'll ask it again, what is it you hope to achieve? How does this type of behaviour enhance your or anyone's experience here? Why would continueing to drag up what ever past beefs you seem to have be of any benefit to you?
You've been banned, you've had threads locked, you've had posts deleted, what part of this aren't you understanding? If you have such an issue with the way things are run (and the bannings etc.) or the people who post here, then maybe this isn't the most condusive place for you to get your decor fix.
Can anyone explain the reason for all this bruhaha?
And please allow me to inform you that both yourself and smoodgie have been on plenty of the locked threads..
Oh, really?? Why don't you go and read all my posts on this board -- both the 100 or so that I have now, and the +2,000 posts I had before your dear friend red had me banned. Then get back to me and tell me how many threads I was responsible for having locked.
you're very kind, thank you......it would appear I"m not only an enigma but a psychic. If the ensuing and remarkably predictable dialogue is any measure of my power, I'm off to buy a lottery ticket:)
I didn't know HGTV had a site either(?) HGTV.CA or HGTV.COM?
Okay everyone it is time to take a deep breath......HAaaaaaaaaaaa
Let's all be happy :)
What are yu talking about? I didn't even know that HGTV has a forum.
By the way Jelli who the heck are you?
If Janetc wanted to be left alone, she wouldn't have started the complaining. where it wasn't necessary. Afterall it did come from another site. :rolleyes:
It's just that the pack mentality that goes on here is mind boggling. The people that participate appear to be so evolved on some levels and so not on others.
I believe she was the one who started the whole thing. Perhaps if she wanted to be left alone she would have thought twice before posting.
:hairpull: Wow you guys are so imature! Give it a rest Janetc just wants to be left alone. :hairpull:
because i started this thread from something i read and it angered me. I should have thought before hitting the send button, stupid on my part! If i thought it through more i would have come to the realization that it was only going to be a post not needed on these boards and as you can see by my post i have just added to the ongoing controversary on this forum............could you please remove this thread entirely.
thank you
regards
janetc
I hope you all feel better for ganging up on janetc, I think by now she gets the point. Now you can go back to doing your homework or watching music videos.
As always, your remarks are a worthwhile read. I would love to see more from you, on any topic.
Janetc, I've been viewing these boards for longer than you've been a member; I post rarely and use the boards primarily for research. As a casual, regularly amused but dispassionate observer (and IMHO) you are either stunningly naive about human interaction on the internet or are one of those "certain" members, from your insistance on opening & continuing your "protestations" I'm inclined to believe the latter. However, in deference to the possibility of naivete, as you should know, there are THOUSANDS, nay MILLIONS of people who watch this board and others and they LOVE to post something controversial just for the fun of watching the reactions - like yours. One needn't be a member of this board (or any other) to have posted something about a persona here or what is said here, you're assuming far, far too much. It happens ALL the time and is a regular occurance on this board - one need only to spend the amount of time I do on the 'net to recognize there is at least one of the "certain" members you regularly support that posts under at least 3 other pseudonyms and he/she appears on other boards. And sometimes they're friend, sometimes they're foe. Despite the dozens & dozens of "certain" members who have left voluntarily or involuntarily (and I admit are sorely missed for their humour, wit, creativity and the information I used to glean ) you're still having issues with "someone" and always will as long as you continue to post messages like the ones here. You are your own worst enemy (assuming you really are that naive) - you bait them by virtue of your inability to remain silent on any topic you deem inapproprirate, argumentative or contrary to what you believe to be true. .I've lost track of the number of times you've posted something, claimed to have said all you'll say on the matter and kept the conversation going......I'll confess I find your protestations at times amusing, but for the most part (and again, in my humble but I'm sure villified opinion) methinks you doth protest too much.
I have not wanted to post on this forum lately, however I will take a page from your book and step in to respond to a person who is being cruel to another. You seem to imagine that you have a "good" reputation as a kind person on this forum, but you have treated Aan like a pariah dog to be kicked by you for public approval and enjoyment. You are mistaken in your belief that you are admired for this. You are merely proving yourself to be a cruel person who lacks the sympathy you yourself crave from others. Put Aan on ignore. Leave her alone.
Is it any wonder we have lost many valuable long time members with these kind of attacks. Give it a rest. Stop trying to be the Forum police that's what we have a moderator for.
first of all i was the one accused, so no, i do know what you are talking about, i just have not obsessed about it for a year as you say...........DID I ACCUSE YOU AAN...............I DIDNT READ THAT NOR DID I WRITE IT....im now done with this conversation with you, So you can say as you wish about me as im not saying anything more about this subject....GET THIS, I DONT NEED TO EXPLAIN, CONVINCE YOU OR ANYONE ELSE WHO I AM AND WHAT IM ABOUT.........DONE WITH AAN..............
janetc
First off, you should get yourself more mirrors, as you accuse others of what you leap out of your chair for yourself. You reject reality and substitute your own, do you NOT remember it being suggested you were Foxxy? You've brought this up ENOUGH times to garner sympathy, I have trouble believing you've forgotten this.
And please allow me to inform you that both yourself and smoodgie have been on plenty of the locked threads.
If you REALLY ARE accusing me of what I think you are, then GIVE ME the link right now, I DEMAND the ability to email the mods on whatever site you're talking about to get them to CLEAR MY NAME.
FYI or anyone else...........the intentions for my post was, one i was ticked off and second i want an end to this crap, THAT IS MY ONLY REASONS....NOTHING MORE, NOTHING LESS...............and i cant bring the post here as it was deleted....i dont do things for kicks..............so lets set the record straight on that one
