    So as a brand new newbie, your first post is to this thread to insult a "stranger"?

    Is this how low it gets in these fashion threads?

    No actually I've seen it in lots of other threads. Fashion has nowt to do with it ;)

    isnt that just making this thread into idle "chit chat" or dare I say it (oh my god *gasp) gossip? The SAME thing you yourself have been moaning about for the past ooh god knows how long.

    Plus I don't understand why you wont vote as this was created to appease silly people like yourself- or are you worried this will take away your moaning space? Good luck getting back that life you lost love!

    My opinion as a brand new newbie who love the fashion threads!:D There you go now you have something to moan, belittle for the next- ooh half an hour?

    Jassy I appreciate your comments but all this is going to do is derail this poll - your last comments (well part of it) would have been more than sufficient for me.

    I toss a coin :rotfl: Or I ask Martin to cast the final vote :rotfl:


    Please peeps don't bite with GotToChange otherwise this thread will decend into chaos.

    I am surprised given the number of views that more people HAVEN'T posted. Or are people waiting for another "fight" to break out ;)
    Given that I was under the impression the daily thread was a thorn in the side of HB&F I'd have expected more people voting for a weekly thread.........unless that is they really don't give a rats a$$ about any of this ;) In which case why the fuss in the first place......sorry just some musings.

    ROLL UP ROLL UP - EXERCISE YOUR DEMOCRATIC RIGHT AND VOTE :D
    May be they feel intimidated into not voting with the all seeing bounder knowing who voted for which side:eek:

    So let me get this right

    Gottochange is vilified and made out to be the bad guy on these threads and thats ok?

    Thats not descending into bickering, gossip or general chit chat

    But if she makes comment it is?

    she said she wouldn't derail the thread - by posting sarcastic comments to provoke a reaction is to me going back on what she said as look where we're going again :rolleyes:
    if she or anyone else wants to stir up trouble they can do it elsewhere.
    I refer you to my post to jassy - GotToChange isn't the only one who needs to refrain from posting imflammatory comments that are going to wind people up.

    And with my comment about seeing newbies posting "insulting" comments on their first thread I was referring to MSE as a whole - my life does not just revolve around HB&F you know ;)

    OK, not being familiar with any of this 'bad guy' stuff, all I saw in GotToChange's post was a snide (bordering on passive aggressive) attack on Bronnie. I don't know the history of any of this, sorry.

    But I do know that Bronnie is a pleasant, helpful, nice contributor to these threads and I just don't understand why GotToChange made that comment completely unprovoked. Which, incidentally, appears to show that (s)he is not entirely innocent in any disagreement that is going on here.

    Or am I getting it wrong?

    And what is it about the fashion threads that inspires such vitriol? :confused:

    All I can see was gottochange asking you if it were her posts that were deleteted as she could see through her posting history none were

    Now your posts (and others on these threads) IMPLY that gottochange posts are the ones that are being pulled.

    I think she is well within her rights to ask you to clarify what posts you are talking about.

    So whats snide or derailing about asking for clarification? Or once again is it a case of throw the accusactions but be unable to back them up so muddy the waters a bit and hope no one notices?

    And may I sugges you go read gottochanges posting history and see how much help s/he is to other people in other threads?

    Funny how we all see the written word differently. All because we have a one sided view of something

    I've never implied any such thing. I you read all of my posts on this whole subject I've never suggested it was GTC who's posts were pulled. I suspect if anyone it was Bounder. GTC doesn't post anything outright offensive, the ones I've seen are of a wind up nature with lots of sarcasm. Others have made the implication - that is nothing to do with me or this thread.

    If she wants to clarify this position (which lets be honest with actions suggested as "backing out reverently" within the post which I read as being sarcastic is that really what she intended?) she can start her own thread or PM Bronnie privately.
