h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Well, as it stands, I don't think I've ever talked to azahar at all on h2g2. But presumably, that's just what she wants me to think

Oh and as regards my name, copy/paste is your friend Failing that, just call me Joanna.

So you are sorry Mr D.

Is that cold hard cash sorry or just pints of cold wet at meets sorry

10p do you? It's metal so it's hard and it'll be pretty cold if I leave it outside...

Are you gonna be at the Winter Meet?

There's a winter meet

No I will probably just stick to going to sunny Seville for the mini-meet.

I am very jealous of everyone going to the mini-meet in Seville.

I'm polishing my castanets in readiness

Another bit of, what I now call, Della-ja-vu.

What comes around goes around. And this, I think, is why when people tell us to stop 'picking on' Della we do not, we carry on challenging her behaviour. Because at some point that person realises we are not picking on her it is just the way she plays with the truth, twists the facts and makes you look the villian and her the victim.

There is actually a lot of research into this phenomena called the victim triangle descriptive of one of its vertices. The others are labeled "Perpetrator" and Rescuer.

Della is the victim the 'Dirty Angels' were the perpetrators going up against the victim, and various people, say yourself was the rescuer. Now, this triangle is OK when the victim and perpetrator are exactly that however with the case of Della the victim and perpetrators were actually the other way around.

Della was the perpetrator stirring up trouble with her manipulation of people, the victims, on the site. However, the rescuer based on the facts they had (rightly!) sided with Della as the victim hence validating her behaviour and really p*ssing the true victims off!!

However, over time those rescuers start to see the dynamics, the personalities and mostly the Della-ja-vu of the cycle of events that she creates and which we try to stop.

So, basically, apologising to SorB and Blicky will just make them really smug so don't.
