Hong Kong Phooey Hero of the Hour...
From the outside looking in, how it looked:-
In the red corner we had HKP, fighting for the right to voice opinion, fighting to be heard, fighting for all to be treated equally on the forum....and fighting his/her corner, persistent and patient in equal measure - ...hooray, hooray
In the blue corner, Bad News...boo boo...rude and rotten, trying to silence one and all, and ably assisted by the forum enforcer, Candy (none so blind as she who refuses to see ) Floss!
Round 1 saw the 'thread being closed down' a swift end to those who were clearly being considered dissenters.
Like those who disagree with McCann abduction tale, the members who disagreed with Bad News were smartly shut down.
The thread was not re-instated.
Today Round 2 began on, none other than, the Cristobell Blog Thread. (Is that worthy of a 'lol or three?' hell, why not - lol, lol, lol,)
Flossy was still of the opinion however, that one and all should listen to Bad News, not make comment, or disagree with her in any shape or form. If that was their position, they were to keep it to themselves!
On a discussion forum?
Meanwhile back at the ranch - Bad News could do or say no wrong in Flossy's eyes. She was NOT TOLD not at any point that if she disagreed with the point of view of others, that she was to keep it to herself. No Siree! Freedom of the Forum was hers! A one way street! A friend like Flossy handy to have when you want to get bossy, and bully others!
Now why would that be, one rule for Bad News and another, for anyone who dared question her?
Why would it be that those questioning were to be deemed, haters, disruptors, when anyone reading could see that this was not the case at all?
If the blogs blogs of Bad News are to be posted, given an entire section of the forum, then surely members have a right to voice opinion on them, else what is the point?
It is a forum for discussion, not a platform for one individual to be allowed to dictate to others, no?
HKP in the red corner was having none of that. Hooray, Hooray
A very nice young lady, a very su-sensible one too, voiced her support of HKP, their right to voice opinion and freely so, she too felt she had the same right to opinion as Bad News. As did another member who was refusing to be silenced, a resistor no less.
It was hotting up now!
Bad 'I can do and say as I please because I think I'm bonkers, and Flossy is my friend' News, entered the ring.
The usual LOL'ing around spitting spiteful stuff followed!
Reinforcements arrived!
A cry from Freedom - for a moderator, one who is meant to act in fairness, treat all members equally - her words were not wise, fanned the flames:
Freedom:
Locking for a moment to allow myself time to read through the last few pages properly. I don't think that my initial reaction will change though -WTF is going on. Certain people should be ashamed of themselves but more likely they're finding all this hilarious.
END
The forum fell silent, everyone on tenterhooks as they waited
for Freedom to re-emerge after having given fair consideration to
situation (not really, she'd already made it clear - "I don't think that my
initial reaction will change...!")
Lordy, lordy, some never learn. Can take horse to water an' all that...
Certain people absolutely should be ashamed of themselves, namely -
Flossy and Freedumb!
Hell what a shed load - we all know she meant those decent people
who dared question Bad News, are the ones she feels should be
ashamed of themselves. No mistaken whose corner she snuck off to,
to sit and read those LAST FEW PAGES.
I for one, as someone looking in, an observer, didn't find the situation
hilarious at all, and I very much doubt those folks Freedumb is
referring to, those members who she said should be ashamed of
themselves (and she ain't including Bad News in that statement)
don't find it one bit amusing as they have nothing to be ashamed of.
When did it become shameful to ask a pertinent question or to expect
to be treated fairly and equally?
That they have to be silenced while Bad News has freedom
of the forum, is, well...BAD NEWS!
Freedumb did return with more, again, not so wise words, after she'd
read carefully of course the LAST FEW PAGES...then used them to,
yip, fan the flames once more.
I can guarantee anyone of sound mind, a sense of fair play will indeed
find it hilarious, not the situation, but rather, her...well, her findings...
Freedom:
" Having now read through the last few pages with increasing
amazement, I can add little to Candyfloss's post. Any
further personal comments - regardless of who says them and about
whom - will be removed together with the poster.
You won't be missed by me, that's for sure. Anyone who wants to
delete their account google the information from Forumotion
END
What a dumbass thing to say! But then she has defended almost every
vile, senseless word uttered by Bad News, every insult, derogatory
comment, and made excuses for same...
And hell, I'm just guessing, but next time Bad News insults or is rude
to a fellow member - she won't be removed...
And I'm guessing again, that Freedumb is not referring to Bad News
when she says - 'you won't be missed by me!'
Hardly gives anyone thinking of getting on board the
Flossy & Freedumb Forum, incentive to do so! Frighten them away
I shouldn't wonder!
Flossy, Bossy and Freedumb - what a team!
HKP, Sir/Madam, wisest words came from you today -
"CF (Candyfloss) it does actually matter..."
Well said! - Of course it DID darn well matter, of course it did, you are
spot on. As did it matter that everyone's viewpoint be given an equal
airing without being swiftly removed. It mattered that you are able to
make comment, question any blog that is posted on the forum without
being shouted down by either Flossy or Freedumb, or indeed the writer
who cannot accept any critique at all, generally responding, referring
to any member who has politely questioned her, as an idiot - what do
they know, they are told, you must be as big an idiot in the real world
as I find you to be on the forum she generally continues.
(pretty shocking stuff I might add) The real world most often is
included in the response. I rather think the real world is alien to the
writer. Oh and the response, to add further insult is always peppered
with the trademark 'LOL'
Bad news folks, is, there is, a common denominator where disruption
has been experienced on certain forums. Yip it's bad news!
Whilst Freedumb continues to be amazed at what she read.
Members were utterly dismayed at what they read! Freedumb's
responding as she did, once again refusing to acknowledge and
address the source of the problem!
Flossy and Freedumb themselves being a huge part of!
If they ain't gonna sort out the obvious issue...choose to remain in
denial, then their little forum will soon bite the dust...
Little friendly advice ladies if I may - wake up smell the coffee!
As one member said - 'it's embarrassing to be a member!'
Can't argue with that, it made for embarrassing reading!
And what nonsense from Freedumb that those who wish to discuss
this should refrain from doing so until the documentary has aired.
Most everything discussed on forum is based on opinion and to
a huge degree speculation.
So what makes this topic different? Why have members not to
discuss until it airs?
And no it's not because it might interfere with an ongoing investigation
that is just laughable! Why post anything at all then if this is the
case? Why not keep any talk of this documentary under wraps
altogether, not allow it to be mentioned, not allow blogs relating
to it, to be mentioned, not allow them to be posted on the forum?
In fact, why allow any talk of the McCann case on the forum?
What the hell we could all release a documentary after the fact, after
the case is solved, perpetrators caught charged, found guilty whatever!.
The statements made by Flossy and Freedumb in this regard quite
defy logic, common sense, any sense of fair play.
Meanwhile the individual who writes the blogs on said subject/is
involved in documentary can do so, can comment, put forward
any point she wishes, spout any shed load she wants about it before
it airs?
Most agree anything to do with this documentary is not worth writing
home about, but if Flossy and Freedumb are going to post blogs about
it on the forum, and members want to ask questions, day in day out,
about it, voice opinion, where is the harm?
And to say a release date can only be given once the case is solved -
Censorship for some, if ever there was! Freedom, might want to think
about changing her name! (more at link, remove xxxx to access)
