Rubbish.  If you only answered the post we'd all sound like automatons.    The whole point of a forum is interaction and chat, connecting with the poster or challenging the poster, having banter, having a laugh, being sympathetic, sharing, caring,  and from time to time, clashing.  

Now you know how we feel with your posts crammed with smiileys and CAPS and colons etc.

HYPOCRITE = uniquely speaking out of both sides of her head while critizing 'SOME' members for things she find issues with and ignoring other members that do the same and then she's allowed to get away with the her ABUSE!
And then posts bilge like that    Indeed, that's "RUBBISH"

Now you know how we feel with your posts crammed with smiileys and CAPS and colons etc.

thats a relief...I thought it was just me.

see...I havnt seen her "bash you" for spelling/typos (which in any case is regarded as just plain dumb to do since we are not all skilled typists and some of us own dyslexic keyboards)

however your addiction to caps, bold, super size and emoticons, seemingly scattered at random and in great quantity does tend to render some of your offerings  lets say a little less than cogent or indeed readable

they remind me of those irritating childrens books...you know the ones

Johnny had some , and one day whilst looking over the road he saw some bouncing. So he  at the owner and the  went and told his mummy who was  so she had to listen to the judge who had lots of  for her.

others have seen a fair share of criticism for  "odd"  ways of expressing themselves

my point is that criticism and abuse seem to be inextricably entwined in some peoples mind, and they fail to appreciate the difference hence any criticism THEY receive is abuse and any abuse they post is mere "criticism"

And there we have it yet again; his holiness spewing his foul rhetoric about an issue that he allows and continues to allow and it just proves why HT & Raggy-dooer never follow any of your directives! 
Your word means NADA TO THEM and yet you will with your MIGHTY HAMMER bounce one of your NON-FAVORED members whenever it suits your FOUL MOOD!

Point proven as to why I never report any abuse any longer; your vile - mean method of insulting/ridicule and total un-moderation behavior is as low as shamefully has been afforded you! YOU SUCK and you enjoy your power and BULLYING MEMBERS AROUND! 
Does that give you a HARD ON to be so cruel and vile ...you certainly excel at it! 
Must be some pay back/reward built into that twisted behavior
