Bouncy - not storming out in a huff, just 'unsubscribing' cuz the argument ain't getting anybody anywhere, and the chat that goes on otherwise isn't of interest to me. But lurking now and then, and replying to bits specifically aimed at me, cuz I don't want to appear rude as though I'm ignoring people. smiley - smiley

Thanks for the comments i appreciate them smiley - smiley

Right lets clear this farce up once n for all.

This is gonna be a VERY long posting so i'll apologise in advance!

To Chatterz
-----------

Saturnine was unjustified to call us LD-er's dregs of society but she has PUBLICLY APOLOGISED for this. Please read the backlog. Why are you still continuing with this arguement? It serves NO point or purpose.

Its unfortunate that the established (not all of them i hasten to add) h2g2'ers have labelled us all originally. People are starting to realise that labelling LD'ers was wrong. They have now distingushed the difference between LD'ers who posted in the library n chatterz such as yourselves.

Unfortunately for the people who did label us they have been proved right.

I don't like being labelled anything as I am an individual as are all of us. I'm willing to see the difference between what LD was compared to what this site is.

Loup, Manda, Kow, Kat amongst several others has gone to CONSIDERABLE time n effort to make a place where you would all be welcomed n where you can continue your chatting. Thye didn't have to do that but they did. They have also gone to the effort to show h2g2'ers what the digibox actually is n what it does. Kow is at the mo working on an entry called 'What the heck is a digibox?' Why would he do that you may ask yourself? Well he has probably seen that not_that_many h2g2'ers actually know what one is. Same goes for Loup amongst others.

I haven't made any entries at all (altho i'm working on one at the mo) but i too are making consiberable effort to let h2g2'ers see that we aren't second class citizens.

Why would I do that? Well as i said before i don't like being labelled as anything n want to be treated as an individual. I've seen what the site is n what the people do in here n i've joined in a few threads.

When i was in the library on LD i actually had a disagreement with Loup before i posted anything in there saying the moderator was biased towards certain individuals. It wasn't til i actually started joining in did i start to enjoy it.

You too can be made to feel welcome if you joined in instead of using this thread as chit chat.

Th thread was originally started by BobTheFarmer asking a simple question about what Leisuredistrict is. Bob for the record i'm sorry it took me to post 948 to tell you as i'm sure others are sorry too.

This thread wasn't started for chatting amongst yourselves. The FoLDers arms n other places are for that.

With regards to putting .......... n blank posts well thats just plain rude n toally unacceptable. Yes you might be angry n p*ssed off with me for saying that but i've got a good memory. It wasn't_that_long_ago that there was a particular humourous character who started putting several blank posts in the FoLDer's Arms. Did you like that? Of course you didn't so there's no place in here for it either.

If memory serves me right if you put blank posts several times in chat on LD you were barred so it wasn't acceptable there either.

I'm afraid i'm gonna hve to be blunt here but your seriously undermining the hard n good work that several LD'ers are trying to do on your behalf. Cus of this thread i reckon several h2g2ers are gonna write us all off. As i've stated before there are several of us who are willing to make the effort to get rid of that label so please don't ruin that hard work.

Do you know how long Loup n the others spent on making the LD'ers space for us all? I'll tell you - several months. I know cus i used to speak to Loup in private messaging in LD around 4am every morning n he used to tell me he spent hours at a time working on that space. It's there for your use - so use it.

The people on H2G2 on the whole aren't unreasonable people. How do i know this? Well i started a thread not so long back on Ask H2G2 called 'How can i gain weight?' It was several posting in that i admitted the reason i was well underweight was cus i used to be a heroin addict. I wrote that in on purpose (it is true tho) to see what the people on here would say. N do you know what? I only got positive postings back. Posting like 'well done i admire you' etc etc. If anyone in society can be labelled dregs of society then you would think heroin addicts but the people in here didn't call me that. Totally the opposite in fact. Its ironic but i got alot of negative feedback from people i used to know in LD. No-one in here has done that.

If you disagree with anyone in here people will respect your views if you say it in a good manner. Continually labelling yourselves dregs of society isn't gonna change the opinion of the established h2g2ers in here i can tell you.

Established h2g2'ers
--------------------

I've been using this site since around november last year but have had a break for a while.

The conclusions i draw fromt this thread alone is the people who come from Leisuredistrict have to prove ourselves til we're worthy of staying here. Why do we have to do that? I don't see anyone else coming on here from different sources have to do that. Yes it's unfortunate you have got negative feedback in here but i hope you realise labelling a group of people is WRONG n people will retaliate to that. It's probably something you're not used to cus i expect most people on here if they disagree they say it in the right manner.

Please don't label us all n write us off. I don't want to keep repeating myself or what others have said but PLEASE treat us all as individuals n we will do the same smiley - ok?

I hope you do notice the hard work some of us are willing to do to be able to join in with this site. It's been a culture shock for alot of people coming here from Leisuredistrict n YES it's different. Some of us can easily make the adaptions, some of us can't but that's life isn't it?
