The tip of the iceberg

A recent event got me wondering what must be going on behind the scenes here. I am now imagining a frenzy of private messages hurtling back and forth, discrediting enemies and attempting to form alliances. What actually gets posted is probably but a tiny glimpse of the full picture. Obscure accusations that no one understands, apart from those directly involved, seem to appear on a regular basis. I say obscure, but perhaps it’s just me that finds them so, maybe everyone else knows what they are about.

It might be a good idea to add an extra feature to the site; a separate section, increasing the options for expressing our thoughts. We already have the Forum and Blogs, what we need now is a Washing Dirty Laundry In Public section.

I don't have a "crewe", Crest, and I don't delete comments (except that once, ages ago, but that was an exceptional case).

Besides, you have your own crew, even if there are only two of you in it. grin
Hi, Bogart. wave

As if I'd ever try to start a CS war, what a suggestion. grin
Arty gets to see that side of me, very often uh oh

Poor Arty comfort He could only roll his eyes roll eyes and say, “Why Lord, WHY?!?!?!?!” rolling on the floor laughing


Anyway, in case you don’t already know, MiMi is the biggest gossiper on CS cheering
I'm not interested in gossip, MiMi, but feel free to PM me with any, so that I can disapprove of it. wink
If you really want to know what's going on here you'll need several things professor

Firstly you'll need to be here 24/7, you can't sleep as you may miss something, the best stuff may only last a few minutes before being deleted wow
Secondly you'll need either a photographic memory or a huge hard drive to store all the information, it's often the case that the obscure accusations you mention refer to something that happened weeks ago, despite the post sounding as though it just occurred, so you need to be able to reference back to the event sigh
Third & most important you need to be psychic & be able to read what was said in private mail, without that you'll be totally lost as these posts will never explain what was said doh

Alternatively of course you could just not worry about it laugh
You have no chances to start a war here... CS is dead. laugh



few exceptions, very few. cheers
Zman rolling on the floor laughing



Bogart wave
You seem to know an awful lot about this sort of thing, Z, is that because you don't worry about it?

Thanks for the info. cheers
Mimi, wave Apa khabar?
Wow..to tell you the truth Herbie...I'm just as confused as you are uh oh

That's one of the main reasons why I've kept away from the blogs lately.
The less I know...the better I feel! wink
I'm wondering if what Crest is suggesting is true. It's also been hinted at by others in the past. Kind of disturbing if true. uh oh
Miguel...I think we need to be psychic to know the truth??? wink
I don't mind not knowing what's going on behind the scenes, daniela, but when a hint of it pops to the surface, yet not enough to tell what it is, I find that most frustrating. sigh
Crest assumes everyone to be as devious as himself, Miguel, therefore his suggestions will tell you more about him than anyone else.
I also agree about the frustrating part! grin

In which case I prefer not to read...and stay away.

But...what I don't understand...how can others write comments if they haven't got a clue either???...

Unless...of course...they know more than what they make out? confused

This place is more and more like a riddle! grin
Miguel,

Crest knows, because he is so very heavily in that mob system behind the scenes and that is why he hate Nam, as Nam is telling what is going on ......specially Nams blog for newcomers.... that was exactly to the point of it.
Hola Mimi guapa..hug

You don't look like a gossiper to me? dunno
Yes, Miguel, I'm sure all that stuff happens.
Harbal,

"Some very effective Trolls could be the reasondunno

Here is cooking under the surface a lot too......so I'm sometimes like....hello what is going on.....and then it is blowing up on the surface and you are likewow .....from where is that all coming.laugh"

This is my comment on Lous blog......and it is the fact......when you are here by your self and not in the mob, it take a lot of time to figure out, all the playing, that is going on here and some are here only for lynching,they feel so good, when they think they have slain a dog.
Bekard, you must take whatever position you think fit, but I prefer to be a spectator rather than a participant as far as the situation between Crest and Nam is concerned. popcorn
Hi Mimi wave welcome back.
Daniela,

Looks can be deceiving devil

grin


I have a partner-in-crime....Arty laugh
MiMi talks Arty listens. He has no choice. rolling on the floor laughing
Z,
you are exactly on the point......this is it.......

And here are real experts of TROLLS......you can identify them, as they bring up collections of old things, to try to hit and attack, who they have as a target.....they never forgive, they never forget, as they enjoy only the negative outcome.....and all to that, they mix true and lies into their stories, to get more people to believe in their created fictions....as is of course, what a perfect TROLL is good in.
The only person who ever used to message me lobbying for support was, um, Crest laugh and that was a while back. Bloggers dearly love to think there is a tree network ruling behind the scenes but I think there are just a few indefatigable messagers who like to quote people's real names just to show how good buddies they are.

Seems to ME the only ones who hunt in packs are the angry and they mob up really quickly. The so-called good guys instantly melt away leaving the numpty who posted a contrary comment flailing around on their own attacked from all sides. But I doubt even the baddies coordinate their attacks, they just keep an eye on the blogs and pile joyfully in.

boxing

Thanks be I'm not paranoid uh oh

laugh
Harbal,

you did not understand my point.......if Crest attack you and I go on your side, do I make a mob situation with you.......I am the real outsider here, no matter somebody is my friend here or not, if they go with something that is not right, I tell them strait about that....and the same, if somebody I don't like, come out with a good blog, like Crest did about all dirt in the Ocean, I am commenting in a positive way, as I did on Crest's blog.

I have said strait to Nam too, that even I am a friend with him, if he come out with something wrong, I'm going to tell him openly, my different opinion........but the members in the Mob system accept only blind following or they make you a enemy too.

I have never accept Mob system in my whole life either, I have always been a lonely wolf, already because I am super independent.

So if I have different opinion with you, it is not meaning I am against you, I am only against your opinion,for that time.wave
It can all be very entertaining, Biff, but sometimes it seems that what starts as a private spat spills over into public view. I'm a bit uncomfortable about witnessing that.
Agreed, I HATE those. Rub a dub dub.

Especially as most of the details are primly held back and we are expected to take sides having no idea what the issues are or even, usually, the other person involved.

Just like I have no idea which event you are referring to laugh but as a wannabe member of your clique when you form it, I hurried to post a comment anyway cool
I think you mean a "lone wolf" rather than a lonely one, Bekard, but I know what you're saying. thumbs up
biff,

you are too independent in your opinions, as I am too, so the majority here don't contact with messages.....and TROLLS never do that, as they have already figure out,who are available and who not.handshake
Harbal,

you are right......English is my third language, so I make some mistakes all the time.
where is the duel?

Will there be pay-per-view?

laugh
MiMi also wanna be in Harbal and Biff’s clique too!! applause


Bifffffffff!! yay
I'm not referring to any particular event, Biff, I'm just talking generally.

It's good to know I can count on you if I need to form an impromptu hit squad, consider yourself on standby.
Welcome aboard, MiMiiiiiiiiii handshake .

We need to get some T shirts printed up.
Harbal it might be helpful to know what the event was that sparked this blog to begin with.
Aye aye, Captain!!!
My lips are sealed, Miguel. scold
Funny you should say that about t-shirts, Harbal, I want to branch out into silk screening - I feel there's a real market here for Spanish witticisms (or some of the colloquialisms aired on my last blog) as ALL the t-shirts here have English slogans wow

The results, when someone wears a shirt with not a clue what they are blaring out to the world, can be hilarious, mind.

giggle
Mimiiiiiii! yay but much as I love you, my pet and future-fellow-member of Harb's future clique, here's a smack up the heid for yet another Mimi blog not allowing comments. Huh.

snooty
I'm pretty sure I know the event you are not talking harbal. And I can understand how it would lead you to believe there must be more to the story than is being made public and more people involved behind the scenes.
But I also agree this is too controversial to be made public and for the sake of community harmony I will join you in keeping it secret. handshake
