Someone catch me up!

Out of all the weekends to go out of town...

Re: Someone catch me up!

  • goin got banned. 
  • Sweet. She was a nutjob--I know she was trying to make some new friends here, but she was seriously unstable.
  • that is for sure.
  • although, honestly there are some people on here who deserve to get banned more than her.
  • I totally agree!

  • Hello, Goin.  Much less inventive AE this time.  You've been reported.  Just because you are able to create a new screen name after you've been banned doesn't mean you are welcome.  I know that screen shots of your posts here and on the knot were sent to the Knot/Nest gods by a poster who does not wish to see you on the boards.  I'm sure they'll catch up to you quickly. 
  • So I guess I will ask.  Why does everyone hate her? There are far more rude and mean girls on this board, which is why I rarely post anymore?  I don't know the history, but should't the regulars who use such harsh language and have vulgar siggy pics be the ones that get reported/banned?

  • Linz, please understand that people are not just picked on for no reason, otherwise, the knot/nest would be complete chaos because there were snarkiness on every post.  I think everyone here in general wants to have good conversation and help each other out when possible.  However....when some girls post things redundantly without using google, some girls can get irritated by that.  And when OTHER girls go completely bat shit crazy and post PERSONAL information or cross lines like e-mailing husbands at their work, there is absolutely no tolerance for that.  So I hope that helps you understand why there are some girls who have problems with one very particular person.  They are not out to make everyone's life a living hell.
  • Linz,

    You're free to report any posts you feel are inappropriate (including the contents of siggies or the pics therein).  I assume that the Nest and Knot staffers who are tasked with reviewing reported posts have guidelines by which they make their judgement.  I've reported more than one poster and for varied reasons.  Goin is the first person that I've seen banned, and I can only assume that it's because of her well documented harrassment of more than one knottie/nestie.  I believe that any sane person who looked at her postings and rantings over the course of a couple of weeks would have to agree that she crossed the line more than once in how she addresses people and situations.  I can't tell you whether on not she was also reporting posts, but she certainly should exercise her right to do so if she feels that that some are inappropriate.

  • Linz-

    I don't like Goin because she's whiny and annoying. What did she contribute to the board other than, "How can I lose ten pounds fast?" and "Someone tell me where  can find ________." She never added anything except posts that benefitted her alone. If she didn't like your answers, she'd continue posting her requests until she got flamed. She claims to be a teacher but if you look at the board and her recent activity, she's on the boards all the time--who's teaching her students? She knows I'm a teacher and knows absolutely zero about my schedule, but flamed me for being on the boards. She also got into a board war with a few different people, but then chose to attack all of us "google girls" thus erasing any chance of getting back into anyone's good graces. She posted lisaohgee's personal info online...who does that? I realize what you're saying about vulgar language or photos on the board, but posting someone's personal info makes you look childish and stalker-esque.

  • ::tries to rememeber vulgar pictures::

    ::waves to Goin"

  • who posted lisa's info online?  That wasn't me. I sware on my life that wasn't.  I don't know anything about her. I wouldn't even know where to start to find out where she works, and I don't care.  I think it's funny that girl did it, but it wasn't me.
  • oh, and you don't know my schedule either.  I know that my schedule actually involves teaching, not sitting on the nest like you all day.

    I have an easy schedule, I'll admit that.  I am resource which means sometimes I have 10 kids, but many times I have none, for the day.

    So before you open your mouth, know what you're talking about.
  • I didnt know that things were taken that far.  That's unfortunate.  I guess I shouldnt be so naive and feel sorry for people who a re picked on.  With that said, there are many girls on the nest and knot who say "I need to find_____"  without googling.  I'm sure I was one of them.  And as far as vulgar siggy pics Gigi, you can see Lisa's.  There is no reason for such language and yes I know that I have the right to hit report and have done so in the past.

  • What is your fing problems!?!?!  Gigi made it up that I contacted her husband.  She told me she had a dog and then told me she forwarded my information on to her husband.  And then she goes and says I contacted her husband?  She is a fing maniac.  And all of you that believe her are too.

    I don't know who the heck 678 is.  I love the pics she posted, but I have no clue who she is.  I wish she would be woman enough to say who she is so that people will stop blaming me, i'll say it to her face. I don't like her. I don't like ryanserafin either, she is exactly like she was in high school.  678 won't even step up and say who she is.

    --Subject verb agreement error
    --Lack of a comma in a compound sentence that uses a conjunction
    --Starting 2 sentences with conjunctions
    --Incorrect use of an article preceeding a word beginning in a vowel
    --Ending 3 sentences with present tense verbs
    --Two run on sentences
    --Use of a comma between two independent clauses with no conjunction joining them (twice)

    Wow! I was never an English teacher, and even I know this is an abuse of the English language. The special education and ESL middle school students that I taught had better writing skills than what we see displayed here. I'm sure Goin's students will have to just consider this year a wash and hope for meaningful instruction in the 2008-2009 school year.

    By the way, Goin, I never spoke a word to you in high school. It's high time you stop pretending to have a clue that you know what I was like in high school. Unless, of course, your impression was that I acted like I was better than you. It wasn't an act then, and it's not an act now. Go bark up the tree of some other nutjob who might want to befriend you. Better yet, go drag your husband out of The Admiral and make him soothe your fragile soul. No one here is interested in your antics.
  • I knew you were a loser then and you are even a bigger loser now.  I also know a lot of people who know you, and they have nothing but bad things to say about you.


    You know it says alot about a 33 year old who goes on message boards and puts people down.  I might joke around or whatever, but you just are ruthless.  I haven't said anything awful about you, and you just don't care about how anyone feels. You do this to a lot of people.  I might not have perfect grammar and apelling, but then I'm not a grammar or spelling teacher.  I teach special ed to students who can't read or spell three letter words.  So I don't care what you say about how I type on a message board.

    As for GIGI I would love for her to step up and say I emailed her husband.  You know why she won't do it?  Because I didn't do it.  If I did, she would step up and make it known.  She is full of it.  And all you people on here who listen to these losers say these things about me and listen to them and gang up on me, you all have problems too.  I wouldn't believe things people say on message boards.  You all are quick to put people down just because someone who doesn't know me says something. 
  • ageip, goin, amy, however you would like to b referred to today... I have tried my hardest not to get involved in this whole thing. I have never posted anything mean about you, or anyone else on these boards. I try to be helpful, but I will be honest with people when they are being ridiculous. I have been sitting back and watching this whole drama unfold, and there is just one thing I don't understand. If these girls are as mean as you say they are, then why do you keep coming back? Why do you choose to surround yourself with people who obviously don't like you? You say that you have absolutely no drama IRL, then why do you spend so much time on message boards stirring up drama and putting yourself in the middle of it. It seems a bit masochistic, if you ask me. Why not use being banned from the Knot/Nest as an easy out so you could just return to a peaceful life? Why come back under another false name with a made-up wedding date? What is your intention in coming back? You're obviously not trying to win friends. Is your whole goal to turn people against ryanserafin and gigi? Because honestly, you're not doing a great job of that, either. The more you persist in this nonsense, the more pathetic you make yourself look.
  • You emailed my husband.

    What I posted on the knot was: 

    "A crazy chick from the Nest emailed my husband to tell him I'm a biitch. She figured out where he worked and our last name and was able to get an email address from that. It wasn't cool."

    You then went crazy (crazier?) and posted a response to it saying it wasn't you and I had to stop telling people it was you.  The thing is, Amy, I didn't post that it was you.  I didn't have to. You did it for me.

     

  • Oh, and as for the dogs.  Small breeds go fast and they go to the home/homes deemed best for the dog.

    It would seem your home has not been the one of the ones deemed best for the dogs.  Says a little something, don't you think?

    Does Tom know how crazy you are?  Maybe he hasn't noticed because he's too busy painting/growing rare truffles/selling houses/kyaking/refering mortgage people/flipping houses/curing cancer/going to strip clubs/answering all the phone calls from you posting his number on a chat board? 

     

  • Honestly, before you started all this drama all of us horrible GG girls were really itching to know who it was the emailed Gigi's DH. She wouldn't spill because she's a classy lady. So thank you so much for incriminating yourself by filling in the blanks and letting us all know who it was the emailed Gigi's DH. Had you never outed yourself, we never would have known who it was. Thanks!

  • Linz - please stick round.  It isn't required to like all of us (although liking me is...) in fact, feel free to let those you don't like know (as politely as possible).  I hope we're all big girls who can take criticism.

    The Goin drama is longstanding.  I would say that this nest round is similar to what happened on the knot before she stopped posting last year.  Not the content persay, but the numerous questions, defensive answers, saying she's someone she isn't,  bringing ridiculousness over with board wars, wacked out comments/actions and then a pretense that it never happened.  I think her comment about not having drama IRL hits it on the head
    .

    Your bio is lovely btw!
  • Linz, I am sorry you thought my previous siggy pic was vulgar.  I swear like a drunken sailor, and if you knew me, you would know that siggy pic was a directly related to me and my personality.

    You don't have to like me.  Or my siggy pics.  But there's no reason not to be here.
