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

Hi Just looked in at 'the other place'. What a shambles! Saw you were losing your cool - how can they permit it Nightmare isn't it?

Hi

NO not losing my just being assertive in a last ditch attempt to reason with Scott....he quite likes me for some reason?! Did you see the last message 45 on The Freedom of Speech thread, that was modded I missed it what did it say?

I don't normally post on the R2 main board for obvious reasons just stick with CB and JV board.

It's all ridiculous.....I don't understand why they can't trace their IP addresses and ban them completely?

Fancy a glass of just listening to Bob Marley on RJ.......

BDG

I was appalled by it and its minions (aka it). Personality Disorder 'U' Like ? Exactly, we are all IP logged aren't we? Should be easy peasey for the Mods to take some action.

However, they seem unwilling to act - so the MB goes under due to one person - not right is it?

Got a glass but to bed soon, this heat is not good for me, alright for you type swimming around, but us have woolly stuff, which gets a bit heavy, man

sheep yes well said..... sorry got sidetracked somewhere else, hence delay in replying.

Night off to read my book and then .

BDG

Cheers did not realise how late it was! Faffing about here. Sweet dreams

Hi BDG.I'm sorry to see the new message board as got problems already. Hope they won't start up again on the new Wales boards.
When it happened there, a few of the regular posters did suspect that one of the Mods might be involved. Has anyone thought of that on the Radio 2 boards. Could explain how they get away with it? I hope it gets sorted out soon anyway.
Hop everthing else is with you. It makes you feel miserable
when you've had a quarrel.

By the way I saw you mention Mustard Seed ,on your other thread.I posted to her,when she started here. I looked on my old postings and her name has changed to 'Moved to a New Address.' I went to her page and her posts are there, but none of the fancy stuff that she put on it. I don't know if she has got a new page here somewhere with another name.

I should have said that some posters suspected one of the Hosts was involved (not Mods) Pamela

Hi and

for your nice words.

Yes all very difficult in R2 land I wonder what motivates these people most strange? It wasn't really personal with Scott so it didn't upset me he's always been with me but then I rarely venture on to the main R2 board. Unfortunately appealing to these people's sense of reason just doesn't seem to work perhaps that's because they have none very sad really. Still I gave them a chance but there are so many of them..... they just run riot and bad seems to breed bad . The HOST thread tonight sums it all up really as to how we all feel particularly the last two posts. I have someone on my back so to speak!!!

Still we have to be positive the good outways the bad I've met and made very many wonderful good friends on the boards.....so onwards and upwards. .

Can't see you two about at the time of posting, I'm off to now busy day tomorrow Harry Potter's birthday.

Hello and for nice to know your there

BDG

Hi and

Agree totally with you both, surely the repetitive SK postings count as spamming? Pity the posts aren't time stamped anymore as they always appear at the same time don't they They remind me of playground bullies but in fact they are grown men, not teenagers.

there was a suggestion that it was the Mods (because moderation is now outsourced and not under the BBC anymore) how do you prove who is who on the Net? I don't know why they just don't put them in pre-mod. It's all very well to say 'don't respond' but by talking to themselves they push the nasty negative posts to the top and the interesting ones just drop off the page. And, before the new MB didn't Host say they had been banned?

Still incredibly hot and and Wales is forecast horrendous storms tomorrow but it if clears the air it'll be a blessing.

Hi

Flying visit should be tucked up in bed! Just back from Harry Potter's birthday bash.

Please please don't say it's going to be storms in Wales tomorrow we will get soaked when we visit the JV allotment. Really looking forward to the experience.......tell you all about it when we return.

Speak tomorrow.

BDG

Hi

Well, I was woken up at 5.30 am by the thunder, it's now coming up to 8.00 am and it's still tipping down and thunder and lightening Where in Wales is the allotment?>

Hi

Just checking messages before setting off! Thunder and raining here..... the allotment is in the Rhonnda Valley

BDG

Hi BDG, How did your trip to the allotment go ? The weather was a bit better yesterday, where I am. I think it's about 20 miles away.
I've been watching Glastonbury . . on T.V. but I don't think I'd be happy there. I like my home comforts too much.
and Pamela

Morning

We had a fantastic time thanks, it was such fun meeting Terry and all the characters from the Allotment. You can here us all cheering in the background on the show which you can listen to again around 1.45pm.

The strange thing was as soon as we crossed the new Severn bridge into land the weather cleared up and we didn't get rained on at the allotment. We had an inclinging of the characters, because Helen had taped the series "Going to Seed" an HTV Wales fly on the wall production which was on about a month ago on Sundays for 4 weeks. (which you can get on Sky!) Needless to say we are likely to be in the next series due out near Christmas as we were filmed the whole time we were there .

No I don't think I would enjoy Glastonbury these days as you say like my home comforts far too much. The thought of swimming around in mud doesn't really appeal.

Speak later if your around.

BDG

Hi !

Glad you enjoyed your day in land Luckily the weather cleared quite quickly.

Just had a look at the debris after the weekend on R2 land No wonder you don't go there anymore - it's just too gruesome isn't it!! And now it appears there is no swear filter on the software and they were all effing and blinding

Had severe withdrawal symptoms on Saturday due to lack of Dr. Who! Anyway, just popped in to say Hi

Hi

to be so long getting back been very busy with one thing and another....

YES I had severe withdrawal symptoms as well from Dr. Who seems ages to wait doesn't it until the next episode?! Sure we will adjust to David Tennant though some how I thought he would look like he did in Casanova but it appears not!

Off to Exeter tomorrow with Helen May my friend from the message boards who is staying here this evening. We are going to a concert on Thursday at Powderham Castle plus meeting up with a few more message boarders! It's all go.....

Speak when I get back at the weekend.

BDG

Hi BDG and. I hope you didn't get the thunder storms today. We had one short storm, but I know some parts of land had power-cuts and my friends telephone was off for a while.
Hi Anna What part of land are you from.
from Pamela.

Hi &

Where are you AS see you haven't been around for a few days hope all is well?!

We had a fantastic time in Exeter the rain stayed off us again and I was still dancing around in my t-shirt and silver wig at 11pm . It was great to meet up with new and old friends on the boards again.

I think your friend's concerns are right about something funny going on but I believe it is a mod not a host! I'm off to ask a question in h2g2 and see what response it gets so watch this space.

Hope to see you both again soon.

BDG

Hi BDG

I just wanted to return the warning of not rising to the bait; the hypocrisy is what gets to everyone. For someone that normally spends a great deal of time at the inn, now saying that there are better things to do with one's day is a total sham. Don't take any notice to him.

I can feel the almost cracking tension, whereby people are desperate to post, but feel they shouldn't be seen corresponding with us. It's so amazing.

Regards

Al

Al thanks I think we just crossed in the post left a message on your page I almosted started to feel sorry for her after she quoted that book but no doubt it was fed to her I really need some time out now and thanks for posting at the end of the centre very few people do despite the sign! Ho hum I should have been more patient never my strong point!

Yes the hipocrasy you wouldn't believe what goes on behind the scenes! Do you fancy writing a book about it all? We could co-write tell Mr P I lied because I'm very inspired by Phillipa I'll save that for another day.
