Many members have stopped posting on dog's because of Holly and her insidious behaviour.
She always seemed pretty level headed to me. She wasn't the one booting people off for having an opinion. Look to your esteemed leader for that one.
From personal experience, gotta disagree with ‘level headed’. Maybe back in the day, but in recent years she’s been highly volatile and prone to take a sudden irrational dislike to someone -then it’s bait and ban alll the way, baybee!She even admits bait & ban is a ’perk of the job’ (‘job’!)
Hair trigger temper and is always seeing criticism where none exists.
She‘s mega sensitive to being made to look like a fool. Problem is, she makes it so easy…
Lets get this into perspective
I'm not sure what you're on about. Last ban was in June and the one before 8 month ago, both were very short breaks. I'm hardly in a banning frenzy :re: it's easily checked...and the "perk of the job" was a joke FGS. I understand you're still holding a grudge, but no need to exaggerate. There are very, very few posters I dislike, the ones I do, are usually the ones who love to bait ME, rather than the other way round, like YOU used to do, and I still didn't perma ban you btw.
As to your last sentence, do YOU like to be made to look like a fool? Does anyone?
“it’s easily checked”? Really? Do you mean it can be checked - AFTER you delete some of my “very short breaks”?
Fact is, if you weren’t banning me you were threatening bans at every turn. Many could see your pathetic power-tripping and commented on it (in between all the flurry of shitty Guest posts that would suddenly appear all around me. That was commented on too). The only reason you never perma-ed me was because you were having too much fun baitIng me.
Believe it or not there’s no grudge here - ancient history, etc. I often read there, but no way would I want to post on Dogs again. Ever.
But now I see you’re up to your old tricks with others - whilst hiding behind your frikkin mod buttons to stifle debate & zap posts/threads - I wanted to offer a bit of balance from my perspective. Bottom line, cut the crap, Holly, because you’re sure as shit no angel.

You're as honest as Boris. You should hand in your monitor's badge and retire gracefully.

Problem is, when you take someones post out of context, it can always be made to look bad.
Maybe she was just responding to a bunch of genuine ignorant bastards, in which case....she would be spot on.
It was Gabby and Rollup who she was responding to
Well then, she was half right.
Charming!!! …. Maybe give the ‘Happy 4th July America’ a read and judge for yourself Syl! …. but yes, she admitted she went a bit OTT, so no hard feelings on my part! …. christ on a bike!!…. I don't give two fucks what’s happening here in the UK half the time!

HF IP banned anyone she thought was not liberal enough and hence evil - even banning people when she didn't fully understand the comment.

Holly started a thread in the US news section of the forum. It was US news.
Then folks started asking why anyone would care.
Since all of the Americans seem to be gone, they have a point.
Maybe Stoo should just dump that section of the forum.
That way they can whine about Brexit more.

Hell no, I won't take that.
Yes, I might have waved the ban stick around you for a bit, fair enough, but that's because you kept baiting and baiting anyone you didn't like. You turned into a really nasty bully. I think we gave you a lot of leeway and the chance to express yourself, but tbh, you really aren't a very nice person Vam, no matter how hard you try to convince others that you are.

Outside of Dogs, who gives a flying fuck what you will or won’t take? The rest of that BS is pure projection.
It’s not like I’m posting here 24/7 and slagging people off. I’ve had my say when it comes to you, and see no point in dragging it out any longer.
But feel free to keep yapping if you must …

You dirty bird. You wouldn’t dare come over to dogs and say it as a guest. come over and see how we respond.
The irony being that a post like that wouldn't necessarily get through, which is why most guests come here to vent.

With regard Holly, my time spent as a guest poster on dogs, I never had any trouble with her, in fact she seemed nice and reasonable. I did notice towards the time my interaction with Dogs started to wane, that Holly did appear to have a bee in her bonnet towards certain posters for which the reason was unclear. Because I didn't have the time nor inclination to investigate further - I just put that down to some past negative interaction between them.

Most forum nastiness starts with a falling out, one or the other can't let it go, if one is a mod/admin, it can turn into something of a vendetta towards the other poster.
When I was on Dogs, I saw some really nasty encouragement to isolate certain posters...and sadly, it was often mod/admin led.

basically a woman who believes a woman is a person that has periods and can give birth.
We are now at the stage where women can become a man but keep their womb so this new 'man can still give birth if they want to?

I was looking on FB at the old pub the persona known as Stooo claimed to be the chef at. They had a few pictures of the grub that was on the menu made by him. It looked disgusting and not something I would pay for.
No wonder the place finally shut down after 40 years ownership by the same family run pub. Strange thing was though. There was several pictures of the landlord and his family working behind the bar looking happy and close. But not one of him who shall not be named.
Place has new owners now and they seem to be making a go of the place.
I made a post to him last night on dogs while he was online. But he never replied

The only posts over there that are worth a damn are mostly from Middens & SF, plus occasional input from others. Red too, whom I rarely agree with but his posting style makes me laugh.
News section used to be a good read, but without Maddog’s input it’s turned into a vast wasteland with one lonely bundle of tumbleweed blowing across it - aka that Cactus bloke.
The rest of it seems to be the usual triggered histrionics, plus lonnnnnnnng droning blog posts from the likes of Graf & Raven. Christ on a bike - have they ever heard the saying ‘less is more’? Raven, for example = a gazillion paragraphs to basically call someone a dick.
To paraphrase Red, ‘boring as fuck, but weirdly fascinating’. Pokes does try to lighten the mood, bless her heart, but it’s a thankless task…

Yeah, there were so many threads that I didn't follow that I was never aware of people not liking each other. Then it would spill over into a thread I did follow, and I had no idea why two posters were being so nasty to each other..
I'm sure there were some knock down drag outs on some threads with Holly.
But because they never interested me, I didn't see it. So all I have is what I've seen..
Amd for the record. Aziz was an unhealthy man much older than me. I'm pretty certain he is dead. He had certain positions that are nothing like that idiot Grafenwhiner. Aziz could be an ass, but his intelligence was way beyond Graff, and it always became evident within weeks of a new persona.
