Reality TV World Message Board Forums
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."

Hi again, Jizzy! Thanks for remembering. The thread in question is this one:
http://community.survivorblows.com/boards/cgi-bin/dcboard.cgi?az=show_thread&om=1045&forum=DCForumID2&archive=yes
...and, as we can now be certain, the poster (dudder) was a troll.

I'd just like to point out that that thread doesn't make either of us look great, which shows the mistake I made by making a snap judgment about a new person (you). I'm very glad to have you here on this board with the rest of us. BTW, you and I come across as more rational in dealing with the "cbshascrappybenefits" hoax:

No, it must have started on another thread, but I'm glad you survived and stayed with us. BTW, notice that I still have fewer than 200 posts; the number of posts doesn't count for anything (at least to me)!

One last point that ties this all together: I agree with Outfrontgirl; there are new posters, but there should never be "newbies." Other than trolls, we should be trying to make new people comfortable with posting here. They could turn out to be Jizzy!
