    Who was that directed at? I'm not stopping posting.

    To the mystery person who is causing trouble by asking moneybot to post my twitter feed here please can you PM me?

    leave moneybot alone & talk to me perhaps we can get to the bottom of your problem with me then we can all move on

    Edit to say that's if you have an account here & are not a banned member

    To send a PM you almost certainly need an active account so they cannot be a banned member.

    The only bit I don't get is how those of us not on Twitter ( and I fully accept that might only be me, the newt has an account) know if the competition has been posted there or not?

    To some up sharing is caring but my toys are my own.

    You don't need a twitter account to search or see what someone has posted, if you click the link you should be able to see what has been posted by MS

    Right I'm bowing out of this thread so here's my take on it.

    As several people have pointed out, it's a bit odd that bloggers are getting annoyed about comps getting posted on here. Blog competitions have been posted on here for ages and any that have a problem have requested that they don't get posted on here. Have admin received any requests over the last few days requesting blog comps not to be posted on here? probably not but would happily be proved wrong.
    I smell something!
    Therefore, by non-scientific analysis I deduce a case of either -

    1. someone extracting the urine
    2. worrying paranoia issues
    3. some serious trolling
    4. delusion of grandeur

    5. Someone might have mental health issues and needs to just calm down and realise there is no conspiracy issues. :grouphug:

    So what do we think about the whole AIBU thing?

    Should we adopt it or not?

    Can we also adopt 'DC' but change it to mean 'Darling Comper(s)'?
