PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"Retraction and apology" |
I recently blew away a thread that was talking about the next season of SO, considering it as spoiler material.Upon further review, I have come to the conclusion that I was wrong to do so, and acted hastily. The fact of whether a show is returning *in and of itself* is NOT spoiler material. So I retract my recommendation for banning two users, and greatly appreciate the nice way in which one of them expressed her concern with me; she didn't have to. I started a thread in Spoilers for discussion of the possibility of a Season 4 (or not). I guess I'd like to keep it there only because some related factors COULD be spoilers (new HGs, whether the LCs return, etc.). And posting spoilers outside of the spoiler forum is still a bannable offense. Please alert us if you see any. But I do apologize for my haste. What exercise should I work now as my penance? (And do NOT say the booty shake ) Thanks, all, for your support of both Mystic and myself.

Hmm, since you acted hastily, you must now walk around with a 100 lb. weight on your back to remind you to slow down, while tied to the two people you almost banned to force you to connect with them, while wearing whatever article of clothing comes out when you reach into a bag and grab (the choices are a size 58 chartreuse muumuu, a baby dress, a too-tight wet suit, or a gunny sack) to remind you not to make hasty decisions, and go out on the street and interview people to find out if they were these two people you almost banned, if they would forgive you.When I really think you "get it", I will allow you to quit. And I am not a pansy like the LC's sometimes are, so forget the fake tears, baby! If you try to cheat, I will lock you in a jail cell with Liar Lisa. *shudder*

While you're out on the street, you must shout out "I'm the queen of denial"...at least five times. When you get back to SOH, go to the back yard and find 10 copies of the deleted posts. You must rip them up and paste them all on one board, making beautiful "art" that you must then take to the local art market, where don't be surprised if you are approached by a couple old folks who will fight over your art and talk you down 20 percent of your asking price. You could say "no" at any time, but your willingness to please everyone keeps you from saying it, despite great embarrassment. Finally, you must help plan your goals with Sahara, and they must be totally short term and not helpful for moving up the ladder of common success, like taking sushi making lessons, and planning a dinner party that you cannot afford to do for friends you may or may not have after you return home from SO. Once that is all done, you may fade into oblivion OR choose to return endlessly to these boards to continue to entertain your guests in THIS house! Thank you very much!

Oh, no, no, no, you can't have Andy Paige work her black magic on you until you have shown me you have earned bluffed your way through the steps I lay out for you to graduate. When I either decide you are ready, realize you are not going to be and don't want the stigma of yet another failure, or graduate you just because The Great BM decides it would help ratings to replace you, ONLY THEN will you get the fabulous makeover. (It's okay if you are uncooperative--the more drama from you, the more camera time for ME! )The Andy Paige Dynamite Dyn-o-mite Makeover Package then will be YOUR BLESSED GIFT *cough*cough*. (Actually, I love it because then I will look so much BETTER in comparison.) Andy will most likely want you to wear something outside of your comfort zone (and outside the comfort zone of all the viewers) that is utterly impractical for your daily life, and then you will get to go to the Whack n' Splat Boutique for your hair and makeup. (An after-graduation supply of paper bags to wear over your head is provided.) WHY in the world did Allison actually want TWO of those things? Things that make me go hmmm..

Well I, for one, am very impressed. I've never been on a board where a moderator actually admitted they might have made a mistake AND apologized for it! Very classy, Cygnus!! Personally, I think that's enough humility for the day.

First of all, the fact that you might fall in love with Cyg shows you have good taste. However.... A very blessed and lucky lady already stole his heart for herself...namely me But you may admire him from afar if you like. And starting over is NOT in his vocabulary

Ummm... After seeing the posts describing some of the "exercises" is it okay to say, No Thanks?I have 5 terrorist kittens in the house, with 3 dogs, 2 birds, and 4 adult cats (not including momma, who makes 5 "adults") at the moment (all rescues), so I think I'm immune to anything you can do to me. But, if you think I need it, bring it on! Sigs by Bob, entirely accurate renditions of nature

Awwwwwww, I'm sorry, mystic! I must not have seen your mistake/apology. But you deserve kudos for it too! I really do like the atmosphere here that is created and protected by the mods. So, hosannas all around!

People would be very foolish not to forgive!!!

I must have missed that thread..I'm all for apologies, they make ya feel all warm and fuzzy inside. But I'd get a bigger kick out of the exercises that have been suggested On a serious note: It's cool that your relationship with us posters is such that you can and will admit when you may have made a decision in haste.. A big thumbs up!
