Re: BBgurl
**Before I say what I want, I ask that if anyone chooses to respond, to please do so with nice words. I really don't want any drama on this matter! Thanks in advance!**
With my confessions etc post, I realized there were a few girls who mentioned missing BBgurl on here.
It made me happy that y'all thought of her! I definitely miss her around here as well. She brought a fun and kind vibe to the board, but luckily I can keep in touch with her via other ways besides the board.
I also wanted to add, if anyone has these ideas in their head of who and what she is like. I want to let you know, if it's negative, it's wrong. I have personally met BBgurl in real life and only have great things to say. She is indeed, just as gorgeous, if not more, in person and she is so sweet. She was so helpful and kind. I always liked her on here and via FB, but knowing her in real life, I really got to know her and truly think she is just so freaking adorable and will be a pop princess one day(ETA: This is a joke between us, FYI) . It makes me sad that there are so many harsh judgments towards her, but honestly, ya'll are missing out.
Anywho, it was just on my mind. Thanks for reading.

Re: Re: BBgurl
Some drama hit the fan a while back between a few gals on this board. She was included and ended up getting banned. It was one of those things that, well, yeah, she didn't do a great thing, she regretted it, apologized, and no one felt comfortable with it and so she was banned. We all agreed she shouldn't have done it. Some chose to forgive and forget, while others chose not to.
Like I said, I don't want any drama from this and will DD if anyone chooses to make this thread into anything bad.
*brandishes daggers*
So, if some one disagrees with your feelings, your just going to DD? Because you had a good experience when others didn't? That seems a little childish to me. Every one is entitled to their opinions, while yes, I can understand requesting that no one make this into a big dramatic, negative thing.. saying " If you make this into something I don't like I'm going to DD" seems really childish. I am not judging who you have made friends with, but I am judging how you are treating this situation.
Well, that was unsatisfyingly vague.
Wait, she's not the asshoIe who tracked down IP addresses and abused her mod powers, is she?
Yeah, I agree, it maybe a little childish. I sort of picture a little kid stomping their foot down. haha But, I guess, in a way, I'm just wanting to be protective. I'd do the same for anyone. Yes, it's a public board and people CAN say what they want. It's just, I have an idea of what everyone who wants to be negative will want to say. And I'm already emotional as it is (see confessions post) that I don't really want to get into drama about people I know and care about.
I just ask that everyone can respect the fact that I want to keep things calm in this thread. *sigh* Peace and Love, right?
(PS I just saw The Beatles Love show the other night and I keep saying "Peace and Love" because that's what they were all about. )
ETA: I'm not saying we need unicorns and rainbows in here either. haha Just don't be hatin'. Please? *puppy dog eyes*
Can I kiss your baby's cheeks already, please?! He is beyond adorable!
That's pretty much putting it simply. Thanks for explaining it like that. I use so many more words to explain things. :-p
J+MS did tell people she could track them with her IP address. She told someone on the bump that.
This thread is really weird.
I'm pretty sure you were the Mod when I joined!
It's also the whole "She's lying about being abused. I tracked down her H and emailed him and he said she's a lying liar who lies."
I miss BBGurl around here, but that whole thing still pisses me off.
I'd like to just forget it happened and move on, much like the BR3 blow up. It annoys me when this stuff gets brought up over and over just for people to disagree, again, on what happened.
Ha, I forgot about the BR3 blow up. I wonder if they still lurk. **hi**
Oh and I only brought this up to reassure those who liked BBgurl, that she really is cool IRL. I didn't necessarily ask for others to respond. ALTHOUGH, I do understand that anyone and everyone could respond and that's why I asked if we could keep it drama free.
Anywho, how about them apples?
I didn't intend to cause drama. As I said in the honeybadger post earlier today, I miss bbg around here too. She made a big mistake that still pisses me off, but I'm sure she's a fun person overall. I enjoyed talking CT and challenges with her on the E board. I just don't understand why her biggest mistake is constantly relived and discussed. It doesn't help her cause. It just gets people angry all over again.
And really, the last part of my original post wasn't directed solely at your post, but more at the honeybadger post I mentioned before. I get that the board is in a rut, but rehashing old drama is dumb, especially when there are current posters who still have connections to those past posters.
I hope that made sense. Night yall.
9-12 months I think?
BBG was judge and jury about whether someone who claimed to have been abused by her husband was lying or not, and contacted that person's husband who was then deployed about her domestic violence accusations.
DD if you want to, and I'll always like you C, but what she did was not simply a mistake, whatever kind of person she is IRL. What she did had real life repercussions in someone's life, to the extent that person still feels the consequences of her PERSEC mistakes, and still feels the consequences of sharing with this board. That is undeniable.
Her actions are a major reason why I am vague on this board and don't post pictures. She may be nice IRL but that doesn't make me forget what happened. Actions, whether online or IRL, speak volumes about a person.
I'm sure she is a good friend irl and fun and all that you and RR say she is. I never had a problem with her really before the blowup. But what happened was super shhityy and what happened was natural consequences for her actions. With what I know about DV I find it inexcusable and her apologies always came off as "I'm sorry you're mad." what happened because of the actions those girls took (because she didn't act alone) were real and very serious and could have had long lasting repercussions because they decided she was lying. Who knows what really went down, but it wasn't the people of the internet's job to bring her to trial, even if people thought she was an AW.
You *had* to know this would bring out some drama smiles. The board has been itching for something for a while. You can't just declare "no drama!!" it's gonna come out.
I changed my name
I changed my name
I seem to remember several other people on this board being judge and jury for Lick as well. Going so far as to have the "evidence" posted on this very board. I also remember there be talk about find the people she was working with in order to report her claims as false.
I'm not saying what BBG did was right but let's not pretend she's the only party guilty of this kind of behavior.
There was a time on this board when googling went way too far. And Jo wasn't the only one doing it.
It is not constantly relived and/or discussed. To be honest I had forgotten about it completely until y'all brought it up.
Sure, a few people were reminiscing about old board days and mentioned her name, but Smiles opened this can of worms regarding the recap of BBgurls antics.
Also, I'd rather not have anyone "helping her cause" because I don't want a cyberstalker back on this board.
