I viewed her differently. She struck me as someone who tried very hard to project a whimsical, artsy-fartsy, tree-hugging persona. But her occasional, and often unexpected, snarky attitude belied all of that 😂
I recall she was very good friends with the persona known as the persona known as Stoooo. She’d waft into Dogs from time to time, and they’d both make a point of posting about their real life phone calls. Which of course is what one does, if the aim is to make others on a public forum feel…’less than’ 😂
I always got the feeling she tolerated Stoo in the sense a teacher tolerates a silly boy.
I just don't recall her wading into the nonsense that was so common on those forums.
But I missed a lot so maybe missed her involvement.
Bella always reminded me of a bird waiting to fly in as soon as any trouble had started. She liked to add her 2 pence worth against the one who was being piled on.
That's how I remember her.

Oh yeah, well remembered - that too
She wasn’t nearly as fragrantly above it all as she tried to portray - a lurking crow, more like

It does amaze me how you can all remember exact conversations and who said what from so many years ago!
I can remember portions of my childhood that go back to me sitting in a pram. My memory goes that far back. I remember lots of things. So remembering forum stuff is pretty easy for me on the whole.

Speaking of the ‘persona known as’ 😂 I’ve just remembered an incident on Dogs involving me, the ‘persona known as’, NAA, and Clare.
Now I know Clare gets a lot of negative reviews around these parts, and I certainly do get why. But in fairness, she was the one who came to my rescue when NAA was ritually trashing me, because she was absolutely convinced I was lusting after ‘the persona known as’, who was going through one of his self-absorbed, navel-gazing eras at the time.
I recall posting something like “I’m here for you”, because I did feel sad for him. Others were posting along the same lines too, but NAA didn’t give a flying fuk about that. She focused her baleful glare on me alone. And she was always right. About everything. All the time. She decided I was definitely chasing the ‘persona’s’ ass 😂
It was Clare who waded in to set NAA straight and finally got her to STFU. I was thankful for that because, as we know, NAA was….a lot! 🤣
The Odious Claire wasn't loyal to anyone. If she took your side it was because she wanted to piss off NAA. She was perhaps one of the nastiest posters around.

Seconded, she would gather a little group of clingons (and guests, which was her and the aforementioned) to back her up when her jealous vitriol was having an outing...she was vile.
The other rather odd thing about forums are the 'dyad' connections people make. Raggs and Stuooey. Poca and Dean. Metalgirl and Vass. Ragga seemed to have Stu's balls in an iron fist and she got away with giving him hell for years until he turned on her. That surprised even me, because everyone thought they might have this symbiotic thing going down where he pleasurably strangled his bits in tight knickers while she verbally abused him on line. But perhaps not. We'll never know.
Watching Dean hop around like a cat on a hot tin roof after Poca saw her arse with him was funny as fuck. He disappeared off forums for ages in a welter of shame and fear. And the saga of Vass and Metalgirl aka MG unfolded like a bad episode of the bastard offspring of Dallas and The Love Boat. The cringe fest of all forums. Who can forget their 'code' for all's clear. That's right, a hashtag #. It peppered all their whispers when Vass's missus nipped for a piss or to make a cup of tea. Then there'd be a flurry of frantic posting peppered with smut. Budgie had a field day!
Vassago: Safe to talk? Me missus is off to wet the lettuce #
MG: #
Vassago: ah there you are. I've got bad news for ye :-|
MG: what, my love?
Vassago: The missus has found oot. It's game over for us ah'm afraid. The jig is up and my baws have been well and truly hoofed.
MG: But, but how did she...?
Vassago: The missus found the money I'd been saving. I had 4 months dole money, £120, saved for our love nest - she found it in my bagpipes while cleanin the hoose and she was pure RAGING.
MG: OMG!!!!!!!!!!
Vassago: She asked me how did I have aw that money..... I had a pure reddy man, I couldnae look her in her chins.
Vassago: I told her something i thought she would believe, that I robbed a bookies and the till wasnae too full so I only got £120 but she wisnae havin it - she knew I was lyin cos I hadn't been oot the hoose for the past 180 days!!! )'-(
Vassago: She wanted to know the real reason. But ah couldnae tell her ah was cyber-pumpin a TEFAL qualified English teacher fae England could I? She's an SNP voter, she'd freak oot!!!!!!
Vassago: I told the missus there were processing errors at the Broo and they accidentally gave me 4 months money but she knew I was lyin. She knows me too well.
Vassago: So I told her I was savin up the money for a wee holiday, just me and her. So now she's went an booked a holiday to Skeggy wi the money.
Vassago: Ah'm ontae plums. Fresh oot. I have nae money now. We can't be the gither. How am I meant to put a downpayment on an affordably priced first time buyers home when I've nae money? I'm absolutely rookit. Its a shame, a pure shame so it is.
MG: Vass, tell me what caravan camp you're going to, I could pretend to be a Red Coat!!!!!!! I could sneak in your caravan at night and su ...
Vassago: It's OVER
MG: OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!
MG: You can't dump me Jon!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Vassago: I'm afraid I have to
MG: No, you can't. I'll post your cock pics on Dogs, I swear it.
Vassago: OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MG: Don't you want to have your 4th and 5th kids with me??? Do you not love me? Did those Youtubes we posted to each other not MEAN anything?
Vassago: It's OVER MG. Look, don't post my cock pics. My wife sees my tadger online and I'm deid. I'll give you.... fuck's sake I'LL GIVE YOU E-MAUL!!!!!!!!!!
MG: Deal!

Yes, I saw some of that hounding bullshit in my time at Dogs. I did say I do understand the reasons for all the Claire animosity 🤷🏻♀️

I liked her for years, she was a cross between Nanny McPhee and Attila the Hun. She could be incredibly funny too, mostly not intentional.
Me too.
I always chuckled when she said a poster parachuted in, or I'm popping to soandso forum as if she had to get her coat and go out to it! Lots of her sayings cracked me up

You calm down, and posts like your previous one will not be allowed. You are not on Dogs now.
🤷🏻♀️ Sorry, Syl and Mags, but we can only speak as we find, right?
Imo, Canny was as amusing as haemorrhoids. Ditto her best tag team buddy, Snuffs (who I know you also liked). The toxicity, spite and vitriol this pair of twats could spew at a complete stranger, really was mind blowing.
I won’t elaborate because it’s all in the past and it’s boring AF. Hopefully their bullshit has been swallowed up in the deepest abyss of the World Wide Web, never to be seen again.

We can't all like/dislike the same people, not on forums, not in life, it'd be pretty boring if we did.
Yes I liked Snuffs, Canny was very two faced and sly, God knows where she is now.
