screw this then.

Eldorion, you are too funny sometimes.

yeah hilarious, he's just lost a regular member with that snotty post. see ya.

what the fuck did I just miss?

I am sure Eldo never meant anything by it Mrs Figg. As Admin he is legally responsible if someone comes along claiming copyright, although he could have worded it better I admit.
Just reword the art stuff in your own words, you can still use refrences for dates and stuff. I was looking forward to your art history stuff. Come back Mrs Figg. (besides Orwelll will be inconsolable)

Oh, I just read it literally - Mrs Figg posts a single word and Eldo treats it like an extensive quotation.

Don't leave us Figgy!

Huh? Did I miss something juicy?

I'm worried that Eldo has done something horrible, Orwell, while we were all at Odo's hole for Party Night... But I wonder what?

If I didn't know better, it would have been something of a sexual nature, Porgy. I have noticed certain not so subtle changes in Eldo's behaviour of late. I think he's slipping inexorably into depravity - him being one of the older teenagers in Forumshire... mmm.... Stands to reason.

I suspect he did something for his own amusement, and Mrs Figg caught him out. Deeply offended, she took a pony cart back to Bree like all the Nine Riders were chasing her. Eldo has been spending too much time alone in that ridiculous Tower of Lore of his. Lore? What's he teaching himself? I bet it's hands-on!

I don't know - the more I read this thread the more I think Eldo 'interfered' with something of Mrs Figg --- not sexual, Eldo being Gay and all, or so it's said - but I don't know what. It's a mystery.... Why do people have these 'events' while we're sleeping, Odo? Why? It does sound juicy! Personally, it turns me on a bit when that red haired Tuscan beauty fires up! I hope she finds a way to physically attack Eldo -- perhaps with nails -- can't wait to see her pull his hair too.... Sweet Eru, he has had it coming a long long time.

I don't think you're taking this seriously enough, Orwell. I fear Eldo has finally upset someone we love more severely he has anyone else ever before - and he has offended many... but this time... how deep the cut seems...

Upset here 'severely', Mirabella? Well, what the f%$'s the point of upsetting something by half measures? The little milksop -- at last Eldo shows signs of grownup hobbitmalehood. Being the soft feminine Lady she is, Mrs Figg will be back.... I mean, like all Gals she needs to be here with the strongest malest of hobbits... Me!... I'll smooth her wrinkled brow with my slow but masculine hand... And as Kafria is clearly playing hard to get, I might just have to take Mrs Figg back, anyhow... {{{Admittedly, she has everything Kafria hasn't got - and more, Mirabella... voom-voom-voom-voom....}}}

I remember when he offended Cat Stevens, but it was OK, 'cos he wrote that kickass song not long afterwards...

Yes, Ally, whatever {{{ }}}

Oh Orwell, you are such a conceited, self-centred, egotistical, vain, pompous, arse of a hobbit! No wonder the hobbit lasses here adore you so much! {{{Kafria is a strange one -- don't mind her --- probably over sensitive to the idea of having to share you with all the other Lasses here! She is English, I believe, but never went to Tuscany!}}}

Don't know that song Bella, I'm talking about The First Cut is the Deepest

I had a horrid thought! What if Mrs Figg has really left us!

What a hole that would leave in my heart!

It would be like Faramir losing Eowyn... The pain... The bereftment! The agony!


{{{Mmmm... Ally - how old are you nowadays? ... ... ....}}}

SIXTEEN

Now Orewell, you must remember that Mrs Figg {{{and Ally, for that matter}}} are of the Fairer sex. They are soft hearted and soft head and have skins the breadth of.. ahh.. very very thin membrames.. We can't begin to understand their sensitivities or their world view {{{if they think that deep}}} and must be kind when their hurt, understanding when they're angry, and ready to go to work quickly when they wish to re-engage us during making-up time. As to Eldo - he should have been drowned in a bucket at birth. I blame his parents! {{{Mind you, I'm still a bit unclear as to what he did?}}}

Aha! One knows a gal is a woman when she begins lying about her age! Nice Avatar btw!

Oh yes, that old self-made Avatar of yours, Ally? The girl and the writing. Have you put it on The Gallery Thread yet? I miss that. Very arty!

Ahem... Mrs Figg... I demand you come back immediately. I can only bag you effectively only so long without you actually being here.

It's hard being an admin. I hope things get resolved and we can have our Figgy back.

The upside is I've got Mrs Figg's private email addreses and so I can keep her to myself from now on and never have to share her anymore with you dull and dreary lot!

Why wasn't this handled privately ?

I am sure Figgy would have made the necesssary changes, to satisfy technical requirements, had she been given the opportunity.

A flare up between members can usually be sorted out, but an unecessary public flogging by an Admin, only terribly insults the member, and it usually is fatal. The member has their hands tied behind their back, can't respond, and if they do it often leads to banning. Been there.
