Ok, this question is devoted to people like No3l, Althegeordie, Crow, Pooflake and all the other fine, popular patrons of these hallowed pages.
Have any of you ever had a group of b3tans make a point of sending you abusive messages? Is it normal to have this happen if you get well known on here? It would appear I have my own little hate-club forming.

I've only
ever received adoring text messages like:

"I told you never to contact me"

"pervert!"

"I have a restraining order, you know"

"No I don't want to see that again, I never wished to in the first place"

But in fairness
I did ask you a few times to stop before I took out the restraining order. And I will admit I was impressed that you were able to draw such a lifelike portrait of Noel Edmonds on your cock.

Lol those two are putting nasty replies to every single one of my posts on QOTW. It's kinda funny now.

It's rather strange.
Apparently they were offended by a story you posted and then deleted. At least, that's what is said in one thread.

I've had people take exception to a few things I've posted- mostly when there was a mis-perception about what I said- but never anything too serious.

Offended?
Bloody hell - they're on the right site then!

Ah well, if it makes them happy who am I to stop them? I wish I could be happy with something as simple as being abusive towards someone on a website.

*shrug* No idea.
However, I seem to have spoken too soon- now someone has targeted me as well.

Is there something in the water over there today?
( The Resident Loon Not a demographic. Do not measure., Mon 1 Dec 2008, 20:54, Reply)

Some people think your a cunt.
Fairynuff!

But they should just put you on ignore.

What they are doing is childish and just makes them look foolish and full of anger.

There's some people on here that write stuff I think is deplorable but I jut ignore them and that's the end of it.

But then I'm far too civilised. *sniffs*

I dunno what to say...
Occasionally I post something, sometimes it's amusing, sometimes it's trite, sometimes it's personal. Yep, I'm disappointed if noone replies to my posts, but if someone wants to slag me off... meh. This is internets.

I know what you mean.
I currently have someone saying nasty things to me, and I have no idea why. They're implying that they know something bad about me, but as it's a new account I have no idea who they could be or what they think they have on me.

*shrug* Probably some /talk clown, I guess.

(GONEism, Mon 1 Dec 2008, 21:34, Reply)

i'm fairly proud of the fact
that some one registered a username very similar to mine, WAITED A WEEK, and posted as me and made me out to be a very bad man indeed. (To be honest, not overwhelmingly difficult)

All because I pretended to be a copper for a few weeks and hinted that I might be corrupt.

Ironically, as he was impersonating a policeman (technically) I reported him to the police. Only it turned out that the police man I reported him to, wasnt really a copper, just someone pretending. The irony was THIS high.

Oh and I dont hate you. Even if everyone else on here gaz's me day in day out slagging you off and calling you a caaahnt. Which they do.

But life's not like that. It's what the Ignore button is for.

I know you know that. But you have a simple choice - let it bug you, or ignore it.

Yep, they're already on ignore.
I'll just have to see how long until they get bored with putting nasty messages on all my QOTW posts.
(GONEism, Mon 1 Dec 2008, 21:39, Reply)

If you're ignoring them
you'll never know :)

I must admit I struggled to get past the internal 'someone is wrong on the internet' phenomenon, and it took the very act of over-trolling someone to see what I'd become. And that scared me, because I liked it :-P

Well
I was, I think, justifiably pissed off that baldmonkey saw fit to copy and paste Tourette's post from last week in order to make a cheap gag.

Judging from some of the gazzes I received, I wasn't alone.

However, the post has since been deleted, probably by the mods.

I've never had anyone send me abusive messages by gaz. Some have had a pop at me in replies, but by and large I stick them on ignore. Best way.

Mostly its all of teh fluff and win.

but would get medeival on their ass if they did.. if you don't like someone on a message board then keep it to the message board.. private messages are personal.

Although I was a bit of a tit a few days ago when I PMed someone a bit moodily after misinterpreting what they'd written below one of my qotw posts. Bad me..

/hears name being called
Can't say I've received any personal (i.e., gazzed/PM'ed) abuse on here, though perhaps you flatter me by calling me a "well-known" and "popular" patron *beams*

If someone doesn't like what you've posted, then I'm going to agree with what's already been said and stand up for the honourable practice of flaming the original post and/or clicking "ignore." However reprehensible or distasteful the original post might have been, I don't agree with hounding people off a message board. It just leaves a bit of a nasty vigilante-esque taste in the mouth.

dont come the fucking innocent boat
for anyone wondering what this prick is on about

i got really pissed off with the smug cunt. on last weeks family traditions he posted a story about how he targeted vulnerable 'emo' type chicks on the web. fucked them and where possible ripped then off - borrowing 7 grand from particular girl who was stupid enough to get a secured loan in her name then give him the cash - he then gloated about pissing it away in 5 star hotels. he then when his mother found he had a sudden boost of cash lied to her it was a scratch card win - which prompted her to blow a stack she could ill afford on cards.

then laughed at her when she through desperation assumed he had the cash from becoming a drug dealer

so i had a go at him as did a couple of others so he deleted the post

hes now gazzing around saying he has no idea what is going on saying he 'posted something about getting a loan and not telling his mum where he got the cash'

now hes wimpering about being abused by people

hes a cunt

watch this thread vanish too

@ Spimf
I have you on ignore, which is EXACTLY what you should have done with me. I deleted the post because if people found it offensive then I have no problem getting rid of it. I don't honestly care what you think of me, but how insufferably perfect must your life be if you can allow yourself to get so worked up by a post made by a total stranger on the internet? Just click ignore, sod off and stop making a tosspot of yourself.
(GONEism, Tue 2 Dec 2008, 14:49, Reply)

@boat
ah so you admit ripping the poor girl off

pissing it away in jaunts around 5 star hotels

gloating about it, allowing your mother to spend a stack on scratch cards after you told her thats how you got the cash

and you call me a toss pot?

ok
