so are you saying Minnie is a liar and she doesn’t know who you are?

coathanger is saying that s/he doesn’t want anyone to know that anyone knows who s/he is. S/he enjoys the game.

Also it retrieves her from the position of being hunted down by Princess Anita’s furious mum.

where did I say that ? :^o

oh God, pedantic time.

It is my sincere interpretation of what the Juvenile Story editor was saying, m’Lud.

Is I wrong??

the thing that strikes me is you are all assuming coat is a reg,he/she doesn’t necessarily has to be
why cant people just observe?
anyway im not being funny or nasty but what ive seen about jc regs there can only be a miniscule soupcon handful of regs which would be able to write fantastic insights into other regs nuances
so instead of knocking his/her efforts just go with the flow
its just a bit of fun at the end of the day.

Good to hear from you, cosy the gent, as always.

Hope everything’s all right down there.

Well it’s all right to say it’s all fun..

but has anyone thought of the poor Princess Anita, sobbing her sensitive little heart out alone and unloved apart from Ol’ Ma???

Amidst all the cruel, heartless laughter of jc…*looks sad and forlorn

I feel I ought to point out I’ve not given my opinion of the opening post, the poster, or the target. My comments were about what I consider to be double standards and unrealistic expectations, both of which the boards (and chat rooms) are riddled with. (I’m too lazy to check, but I think I also commented on why I believe this type of opening post might divide opinion).

I actually agree with coathanger when he/she suggested that their initial submission was far, far milder than a lot the dialogue that takes place on the boards and particularly in chat.

My main point was that comments of the type “If you don’t like it, don’t read it” are pointless – right up there with ending a post “Dismissed!” (I’d love to know how that’s supposed to work?!).

“You say you’re not bothered, but you must be, because you replied” is another one. I guess a lot may depend upon interpretation of the word ‘bothered’, but I think we all know how it’s intended in most cases. It’s an immature and wholly ineffective way of trying to gain the upper hand.

Another example is “You’re boring me now” or “Bored now”, which I believe is viewed by most as a cop-out. It’s akin to a child sticking their fingers in their ears and saying “La la la la” (see “Dismissed!” above).

Now.. please form an orderly queue whilst you wait to tell me I’m boring you – and that I’m dismissed :D
