Not sure where to start here but just want to add my views on this...
As I said I really don't have a problem with Neil, Jo and Barb's posts. I have been far more offended in the past by others posts though.
Seeing as everyone seems to be in the mood for the truth and thinks this is an isolated case, it really isn't. Back around May there was a really bad clique here (before and after Wembley). Many of that clique were the very same people who aren't happy that now others are the post whores. (I don't necessarily mean you here Zina) Yet not one of them saw at the time that they were doing the same thing and isolating many long time fans here. The icing on the cake was the meaty awards thingys... That was a complete piss take and was quite clearly a clique voting for their group of friends even if they didn't fall into that catagory. Take Zina being nominated for (or winning cant remember) the life time achievement or what ever it was, and the fav mod of the moment winning all the awards. It made a complete mockery of the site. But many of you loved it. Just have to add here that Neil this time you were also part of this clique.
Others got totally ignored in many many threads, only people who knew each other would reply to each others posts. For the first time ever here I felt like a total outsider and have been around for almost 10yrs. It really is no different to now. But pretty funny that the very same people find neil and co so bad now. Well I witnessed both and I found the May thing far worse.
Neil, Jo and Barb aren't spiteful or nasty, granted it can get annoying, but they aren't hurting anyone. Others have on many occasions and i'm big enough to admit even I have at times. This is all so hypocritical.
And as for the in jokes.... I see far more of them from others here. In many threads. I really don't see Barb wanting to bump Steve off as offensive Lucy. But I did think the BIG King comments were offensive and imo unessecary. And there have been plenty more.
I also see it that Neil and co do include others if they post and they do (especially Barb) try to reply to others. That really can't be said for many here I can tell you.
Some are also saying that many don't post here anymore, then go on to say that it's only Neil. Jo and Barb posting... Well obviously if nobody else will post lol.
