I am going to ask that all of you just stand back and take a few deep breaths and give everyone “one more chance” to try and be civil with the members you have had problems with in the past.
IF you cannot do that, then I suggest you do use the new (blocked) button we have added.
When using it, you will still be notified when one of your own (blocked members), has made a comment, though you now are given the option to either ignore them totally each time they write a comment or if you so choose to, you can simply click on (show comment).

Anyway, its a great new tool we can all use when others are just to much to deal with.

However, please note, members who repeatedly violate the community guidelines for forum posting and the BC TOS, because of mean spirited personal attacks on other members , your membership here on BC can and will be deleted, at a click of a mouse.

.....And I personally do not want any of you to go away, as I have found all of you to be just as WagerWitch stated above:
Everyone has something to offer, you, me, her, him, them. ALL of the people involved have something good about them. Why not try and give each other just one more chance.

Seriously What the hell was I dragged into this for? I have a sarcastic sense of humor I admit,...........if you really read any of my blog posts or comments on here you'd realize that... but I don't think I have a negative presence here, otherwise Admin would let me know, and believe me they know me well enough to make that judgment call,

To clear a few things up Wager Witch I don't sit on the sidelines and lerk, I simply don't come in here unless I have shouts to return, why?.... because of things like this thread. I am tired of it, and I have a life more than hanging out here 24/7 like some members choose to, which is their choice, more power to them.,

You are right Wagar Witch You don't KNOW me, so kindly don't pretend to give me an analysis of what you think all the other members of this board think of me

Now as far as MYYYY BLOG goes, get over it, I can say what I want, I don't say those things here because I am a guest here, just like every other member here and there are rules, on my turf there are not. I make no apologies for that and never will.

Now Wagar you maybe a kind hearted person who's just trying to "play peacemaker" here, but your dragging me into this shit was completely uncalled for!!!!!!! And the complete opposite of what you are trying but failing miserably at achieving.

Yes I can speak for myself but the fact that others are calling you out on this bs move of yours involving me does not mean they are fighting my fights for me.

Carry on

Well said Dollin and I must say that I find this thread to be rather eye opening

I agree with you and have been ignoring those who are obsessed with the past. I don't plan to and haven't engaged anyone who I have had problems with in the past.

Your comment needs to be heard by your friends as well, and I am not going to respond to another member who is not an admin on BC who states that I need to apologize or show regret.

wagerwitch on 'Bring Back Lisa and Doll Petition'

wagerwitch — Sat, 01 Aug 2009 14:42:46 -0500

Doll I have no quarrel with you at this point.

Can we not all just let go of the anger and the pot stirring?

Can we not all just agree that some have differing personalities?

Can we all just get along?

Please. I'm really asking you to please consider this.

I will always try hard to be kind - I may not always be - but I will try.

I ask - please - to see this place get along - no more warring against groups or certain people...

Just ignore those you can't tolerate - and be kind where you can - OK?

Please?

No one owes anyone an apology as per BC admin. Comments have been reported as per BC TOS. And you do not have any information as to why anyone was banned, since you are not administration.

@LisaNYC

public places and spaces,

private space

Time does not heal all wounds. Time changes nothing, when there is no regret expressed and no apologies are made.

Cooking Asshole started this thread (thanks again CA!), and send a clear message upfront: ...

"No negativity! "

"Only love for Lisa and the Doll. "

wrong place - see below

wagerwitch on 'Bring Back Lisa and Doll Petition'

wagerwitch — Sat, 01 Aug 2009 13:26:08 -0500

I'm sorry you view it that way Lisa.

My comment was heartfelt and meant in kindness.

If you choose to see it as offensive, then I cannot persuade you to understand my motives as being very kind. Your interpretation of what I say - in your comment above noted - is incorrect in nature.

I cannot change your view.

And case in point Lisa.

I have NEVER lied on BC. Nor shall I ever.

You do NOT have to stand up in such a vicious way for Kat.

Kat is perfectly capable of making her own opinion known - how dare you think so little of her. If you have not seen her commentary that I speak of, or her blog posts - then you have not taken the time to really get to know your fellow BC'ers.

I am not patronizing you in anyway - and should you have a problem with me Lisa - that you cannot handle without being aggressive, rude and not so polite, then I suggest kindly that you choose to ignore ANY comment I ever make. Or even, one step further - Block me - so that my commentary will never bother you again.

I would prefer if you did so, as you have decided to be openly aggressive with me when I once DARED to give my heartfelt opinion to someone who asked for it - when you chose to go into overprotective mode and were extremely rude to me.

I find your type of personality on boards as a bully and as one of the most common aggravating instigators who enjoys setting people off - ON PURPOSE. And then turns and points "LOOK AT THIS PERSON" --- forget that I was rude - forget that I've done anything wrong - Look at "this" person.

Your obvious enjoyment of acting in this manner leaves me no option but to ignore you. To me, as of your last posting - I see that you have not learned anything - except to be hostile, rude and openly aggressive online.

Therefor your participation - is worthless to me.

And - again - Kat can speak for herself. She doesn't need YOU to jump in and "protect" her.

If she cannot see my comment as being kind - then I am truly sorry for her perception. As what I said - AGAIN - was heartfelt.

Further comments from you Lisa - will be ignored - because I see that you have not changed - you are not sorry for your past behavior and you will continue on in the manner for which you were banned.

It will only be a matter of time before you self destruct again.

You chose how to treat me.

Truly everyone can see how you operate - and Lisa - no matter who sides with you... YOU KNOW what you are doing. And YOU KNOW it is wrong. Manipulation of the truth is obviously seen - and if you cannot see how you are manipulating others - worry not - they will come to learn it as they observe your actions.

My dear - Actions speak louder than words.

I am now choosing Lisa - how to treat you. With as little dignity as you have shown, you are no longer worth my time.

Wager Witch....I also found your above comment to Kat not only inappropriate, but cruel, offensive, and highly inaccurate. Kat is a wonderful, kind person, and not "mean" or "aggressive" at all. Nor does she come across that way to others, except apparently to you! Wager Witch to Kat: "I'd like to see more of you - in a manner that doesn't depict you as being a mean person. The only commentary I've seen from you since I've been here has been angry"ish" or slightly sarcastic." Total BS! You also come across as extremely patronizing to her, as though you're lecturing a small child. I request that you stop going around BC spreading lies about the characters of BC members, and also giving us unsolicited lectures.

Cooking Asshole asked for NO negative energy on this thread! Please spread your slander and inaccurate character digs someplace else!! Meanwhile, your abusive comment about Kat was also reported.

Wager Witch writes: "So I'll welcome Lisa and Doll back - provided that they are honestly contrite about the abusive behavior they provided earlier - and that they won't be doing that kind of thing again."

That's a welcome? Spreading more of your lies and slander about us? I have reported your above comment to the moderator. I also recommend if you don't have anything nice to say, consider saying nothing at all. You're not the hall monitor here, and your past abusive comments to US were noted by several BC members, including the moderators. Follow your own advice and stop lecturing others if you are unable to follow it yourself. Reported.

Dunno...

But I don't know if everyone knows that they can literally block all comments, etc. by doing this. That way - there would be a lot less problems if some things were ignored. Right?

I mean truthfully - there are going to be people who dislike others - this is a totally normal thing to happen in group settings.

However, some things are not acceptable - like mean spirited activity and personal attacking. RIGHT?

So - it would be best for those who have issues with others to, instead of getting upset with commentary from them to, instead, block them, so that their comments are not visible and therefor do not make them upset.

Again, let me reiterate: I like everyone.

But...

I do NOT tolerate personal attacks.

There are better, more adult ways to handle that type of behavior.

I think EVERYONE here has something to offer the community.

I was upset with the actions of Lisa and DollinNYC - as I felt they attacked in a manner that was unacceptable in ANY forum environment.

I am going to trust that they are not NORMALLY like that - and that they are instead going to stop that type of behavior.

But I truly hate to see others partake in that kind of activity - it really makes the person who is doing it seem petty and trite.

It makes them look like the "school-yard" bullies or those snotty girls who think they are better than everyone... When in fact - most people are laughing at them behind their backs... while they think that they do no wrong.

Everyone has something to offer, you, me, her, him, them. ALL of the people involved have something good about them.

As long as the hurtful behavior is modified - at least while in the public forum - then I have no issues with ANYONE.

So I'll welcome Lisa and Doll back - provided that they are honestly contrite about the abusive behavior they provided earlier - and that they won't be doing that kind of thing again.

And, seeing that they are back - I'm hoping that this won't happen again.

Kat - I don't know you - but I do see that you have a penchant for being aggressive when it comes to a couple of people on the board here. I'd like to see more of you - in a manner that doesn't depict you as being a mean person. The only commentary I've seen from you since I've been here has been angry"ish" or slightly sarcastic towards one or a couple of people. I really think you have more to offer this community than that. I think you have some great writing skills and some interesting perspectives. I've read your blog and I think you have A LOT more to offer than what I've seen here at Blog Catalog. I wish you'd participate instead of standing on the sidelines and just picking here and there. You MAY have posted other things than those types of things, but I haven't had the chance to see them - and the aggressive/sarcastic comments are truly the ONLY ones that stick in my memory. Which is probably what the majority of people here see.

I don't know what happened in the past - but this is the PRESENT.

I'd really like to see EVERYONE get along - as I said - you all have great things to offer EVERYONE. Every one of us - has something great to give.

I love Harvey - absolutely - he's my hero... I believe it is because of his actions that I still exist. And for that I am thankful beyond belief.

And most everyone else - I truly do care about you all. Including Lisa and Doll.

So I'd really like it, if everyone could start...

START RIGHT NOW...

From this point on...

And give a chance to EVERYONE.

Forget the past.

And go forward with good intentions and kind hearts. OK?

Please.

I ask that you all take a moment to look deep inside yourselves and please think about all the GOOD things you can offer, instead of hurtful diatribes.

Ignore those that you just can't get over...

And embrace everyone else.

OK?

This is a super hug sendout to everyone.

HUGS!

So far blogcatalog has not reinstated doll and lisa...This year many other bc members who were "active" discussion participants have also been deleted.

doll and lisa are quick-witted, polite, humourous conversationalists who should be reinstated...
