    I dunno about anyone else but I think we all need to win a holiday.
    Golly, I've got the newt pregnant...

    **Gulp**
  • If the OP was that bothered they would have made a thread. Also although i don't think the OP was rude in any way, they did come across as slightly patronizing. Unsure why you feel it has anything to do with you when the OP you say was targeted isn't bothered. Also before i unsubscribe from this ridiculous thread, unless you are psychic you have no idea why someone felt a poster had been rude and comp posters, long time members, new members and someone who has never posted a comp are all equal here. All people deserve respect both old and new alike, there was nothing in that thread that showed any disrespect to anyone. All the poster said was 'how rude' and you've made a molehill into a mountain. God knows how you get through real life if something so petty gets you so angry. No disrespect in that thread at all. This thread however is a different attention seeking matter .....

    I agreed with Dimey, in that had it been one of the top comp posters who had been called rude for doing nothing wrong there would most definitely been a backlash and the offender would have been hounded out of here.
    I know, I know, I know everyone is entitled to their opinion, but can anyone honestly tell me after re- reading the posts that the OP was rude, or was she responding to the previous posters remark( which in my opinion is what started it because I presume it insinuated the OP had wasted their time posting it because it wasn't worth a tweet).

    If I seem like I am making a big deal of this then maybe I am.
    I agree with you- all are equal, so why has no- one else defended Charcharcharcharchar?
    And thanks, I get through "real" life just fine thanks.
    This is not petty, this is endemic in society as a whole, and as we started tolerating such behaviour in the "real" world, the "real" world turned into and intolerrable place.

    I really don't think you should have replied or started this thread because it is giving him the attention he wants even more. Comping should be fun and happy, let's not let the minority of immature people spoil it :)

    Agreed.
    Come on guys, look at the name s/he signed up with. I've rarely seen a more blatant troll.
    Leave them to their tiny-minded games and ignore them.
