I did read the sniping and it was totally unnecessary. Who really cares who starts what thread and when?
Exactly! But when some posters do it, they get a scolding and when others do it, its adorable and quirky. It's a little ridiculous. Correction, it's a lot ridiculous.

Speaking of rude NJN, you griped, complained and whined over a comment that Huskers made. It was so terrible that you wanted him banned. When that didnt happen, you made his comment your tag line.
I don't know which shows more ignorance , a person making an inappropriate comment or a person that continually repeats it. Either way, it's offensive.
And just for the record, this whole post is filled with rudeness and ignorance. It's also offensive.
The truth hurts.
flan
Isn't that cute? Now flan gets to take her little swipe at me. Gee, let's all attack NJN and then wonder why she is grouchy? Oh yes, I'm sure you were just KIDDING. Surely YOU wouldn't be rude too.

Swipe and run...lol. I still don't understand why it matters who starts a thread and when. All these multiple daily's just seem like overkill. Maybe it is time for rules about the daily thread if everyone is going to keep getting their knickers twisted over it...

It is absolutely too stupid a thing to make a rule over.

I agree 100%.
Make buggy Dailies if you want...make them 2 years ahead of time if you want.
Well, here's the deal. IKWTDS made a thread the morning the day before. And not one person complained. And Czech routinely makes them the night before. I don't care. But when I made one the night before those same people got their panties all in a wad about it and have been complaining incessantly. Hell, I even got called ignorant. There's a handful of people here that no matter what, when, how, or where I post they have something to comment, suggest rules, have "helpful suggestions", or offer unsolicited advice. None of which I have asked for nor do I want. And none of which I really care about. There's a handful of people who have formed a little gang to pick and poke. It's very reminiscent of the original MM board. They like to be very passive aggressive and then step back and say, "What? Little old me? I had NOTHING to do with this..."
So, I will continue to post when I want and where I want and how I want.

Yes. And just because you say you're not making rude comments to all of my posts does not mean it's not true. But again, feel free to believe whatever BS you choose to spew. The truth is there are several of you who feel the need to comment constantly on my posts. No one else, just mine. That is the truth. You can call it whatever you want but the truth is the same few people are constantly making negative comments on my posts. ESPECIALLY if I start a daily. I've been told when I can and can't start it. And how to start it. I don't see you and the others telling ANYONE else else that. And other than Lily I don't see you being exceptionally rude to anyone else.

It sure did seem like there was some ganging up going on so pretend you weren't involved if it makes you feel better by all means...
This is the MO. They all poke, pick, and take swipes and when I say something they all go "ME? WHAT? ME? I'm INNOCENT!!"

Oh flan honey, you've never asked for permission to be rude.

You manage to cover the whole spectrum. You're talented like that. And if you're so bored and I'm so beneath you then why do you keep responding?

I don't buy the innocent act. You know exactly what you're doing flan and I don't get why you feel the need to go after NJN anymore than I understand why you go after lily. Just because people disagree with you, you get mean an then pretend you were joking.

Why is this any different than your post on page 1 of this thread giving ME permission to like NJN for being contrary ? I really like you flan, but this is a classic example of something that is good for you,but not for others to say.
It seems silly to me to get so upset over who posts what and when. NJN is awake latest and so usually starts the daily. Who cares? Sure she could wait until morning, but some of us like to see what has been posted overnight and would miss that. So deal with it people.

It obviously annoys you and others or you wouldn't have commented on it this morning and on other days. Every time someone tells me how and when to post I'll just do more of whatever I want.
Which is exactly what I like most about you!
You are welcome to your opinion, dear lady.
flan
This is the post I was referring to. I think everyone knows that we are ALL welcome to our own opinions. That's kind of the point of a message board.

I usually answer rudeness or snark with the same. And I DON'T pretend I'm joking.

Yes you do. You've been snarking at NJN all day and keep saying you're not. Go reread your posts and see what the rest of us are seeing.

I realize that NJN has been under more stress than usual lately. Normally I would feel compassion, but the tone of her posts has changed in the last month.

flan
You have no idea what is going on in my life and what stress I'm under. Things are actually going quite well lately tyvm for judging me. And you do as little as possible to feel compassion.
My tone has changed because there is a small group here that has insisted on telling me how, when, where, and what I should post. Unless you are a mod I don't need your advice or opinion so keep it to yourself. I was even called ignorant last night. Oh, but I'm supposed have such a "nice" tone when someone calls me ignorant. And then I had you saying it was the truth. Hmmm, maybe it's NOT the stress in my life but the rude attitudes of a few posters lately toward me.

You don't listen to anyone so I'm sure you won't listen to me but it seems your posts have gotten meaner. NJN has done nothing yet you snark at her like you have the right. If you're going to be so passive/aggressive about it than at least admit it.

My two cents on the dailies, more than one is ridiculous.
For a while the dailies were all started with a depressing title. Morose Monday, Tepid Tuesday, and it was every day. I would rather the definition or even a thead that, gasp, doesn't have this alliteration all the time.
NJN, you are a southern girl now, learn the proper use of "Bless your heart" and apply it where necessary here.
Now. I am still not top of my game. Had a rough couple of days. Trying to let the antibiotic do its thing but I think I am going to need another round.
WE GOT SNOW!!! And may get more. It's really pretty right now. I am sure I will be tired of it by tomorrow.
I hope everyone has a great day.

Nah, you took my comment out of context. A suggestion, nothing more.
I didn't even see it until this evening. Your response that is.
Well, I don't even start all the dailies. But then everyone else started bitching at me. When people bitch at me I don't just roll over and do what they want.
I suggested that the thread did not have to be started before morning. Just a suggestion. It's okay to let it wait until morning. YOU took that as an insult. That is on you, not me.
But, since we are in thread wars, let the games begin!!!
Oh yes, the old I was just kidding line. EVERYONE uses that.
Sorry you can't see the humor. Oh well.
Hopefully, everyone else will see the humor. I refuse to not be humorized.

Faith isn't something that keeps bad things from happening. Faith is what helps us get through bad things when they do happen.
I used to like the daily threads, because I never have a lot of time to linger on the board. It was a nice way to check in with folks, without having to read every single thread.
But the dailies have become about 90% fight and 10% fun.
I certainly don't have time to scroll through all that fighting to find the rare nuggets of good stuff.
Those of you with more time to spend, have at it.
I'm outta here. Can't stand the fighting and childishness. From supposed adults.
I'll check back in a few weeks to see if y'all have learned anything from this and have stopped the ridiculousness.

Oh good grief. Or, as VOR would say, ffs. I couldn't care less about multiple dailies, who starts the daily, or when the daily is posted.
I think it's stupid to have Multiple Dailies, but that's just me.
flan
What is this Multiple Dailies affliction and why is it stupid to have?
I'm not going back to research, but I believe it started when a photo was posted of a bug that was found in fast-food french fries. Some of us didn't want to see it & another Daily thread was started.

We are going to take tonight to think it over, but I'm pretty much sold. The price is right, it has everything we want/need, and it is still being built so we will get to pick to our preference on things like flooring and cabinets, etc. Downside is that we will have to do all the landscaping this summer- but DH is really good at that :)
