They deleted one of my posts too that was just answering some idiot that was rude the other day (on another thread). No idea why, maybe because I quoted her.
they are getting very stingy there.
As for Cady...I don't understand why all the actors think TK is so brilliant. He certainly doesn't exude brilliance on my screen. LOL. But hey, if she wants to work with him....whatever. I have no real investment in Zendall or T&D (at the moment).

I saw a thread on SOC about leaving "Zen Valley" (roll eyes) and started reading a few of the posts. The ones that were pro-Rendall were edited by barb saying "don't pick a fight" and the ones that addressed Rendall as a Zack fan were edited by barb saying "Don't take the bait." They truly think after all the mean-spirited Zendall posts that it's Rendall fans that are causing the fights. I had to stop reading, it's just so asinine.

Somebody put up a post saying that Kendall's baby had some "slater flavour" in it...and actually wrote in "for the rendall fans, wink"
What a biotch. I reported it. LOL.

Oh geez... THAT'S not baiting people at all is it? I will never understand why they can get away with stuff like that.
And anway, what a gross way to describe a baby.

I still haven't heard from Barb yet. Something tells me I won't.

I always hear back from her, but it's never a good reply.

I posted in Raven's thread that I like Zixie..This could be interesting !
I was quoted by someone who said STG, I do not see any chemistry between Zach & Dixe , not like with Maria & Kendall, etc.
I quoted her & said.... I did not say I saw chemistry between Zach & Dixie..I said I liked Zixie.. maybe I like the sound of the name..maybe I like them because it is something different, etc JMO..
I wonder if my post will be deleted.

I noticed how these "stickeys" appear and then are edited as soon as people somewhat start to disagree with the original message. One sticky disappeared altogether - I can't remember which one - Character Nicknames? - something like that. I usually don't respond to these sticky messages because they pretty much repeat what's in the guidelines anyway. However, now it seems they are tweaking the guidelines. And I've responded. Twice. Both times my repsonses, along with the entire page that the response was posted on has been deleted. The one in particular that has bothered me is the one regarding character bashing and the new guidelines about this. I just responded that if I couldn't bash a storyline or character that is fictional and is on a soap opera and as long as I'm not bashing real posters, etc. then I was uncomfortable posting there, blah, blah, blah. It wasn't a heavy message. But a couple of people actually agreed with me, and when next I looked, only one page was left up and the thread was locked. Oh well, it has been really discouraging trying to post opinions on SOC. I hope I've not been disrespectful. I always try to be very nice, but still give my opinion. But it's getting too strange over there. Why are some people let alone to go on about their "hatred" about certain characters, and yet other posters try to state an IMO statement and are cut out of the loop completely? I also don't post often on the GH Board because of this very ambiguous rule. There are posters that just "bait, bait and bait somemore", yet their threads stay up forever. And even if it's an interesting subject matter, I stay the heck out of it because I dared to say something once and I was shredded (sentence by sentence was cut and pasted and used to give a reply to each paragraph). I never went back. And if I did, I was drunk! Sorry, I just had to get that off of my chest.

I only hear from Barb if she disagrees with one of my reports, which isn't often. LOL. I don't mind, it's her job to make the call, not mine.
The Zendall people freaking out amuses me, because they always put up contradictory statements. TK is WONDERFUL and has chemistry with EVERYONE....but he only has "friendship" chemistry with: Dixie, Di, Julia, Maria, Erica, the boogeyman.....basically anyone BUT Kendall.
LMAO.
Oh and if there is no chemistry, its always the actress' fault. Come on. Either he has chemistry or he doesn't, its not that hard.

Okay, I'm living by Short-Term Memory Loss here, but this is how I remember it. First, there was a sticky about using nicknames for characters was a big no-no. No using the @ss or the "Duh" at the end of names, etc. Several posters agreed. Some didn't. I was one. Then I think Spenser brought up the "Lamie" aspect. Since Janet actually used that name ON THE SHOW wouldn't that be alowed? Anyway, the sticky was gone by the next day. I think it was a little vague as to when it was okay and when it wasn't. The second sticky (again, I suffer from short-term memory loss, so correct me if I'm wrong) was about bashing the characters because some posters couldn't distinguish between humor and taking it personally. At least that was my take on it. I could be wrong. But I noticed they left up only the first page of that sticky and it was pretty much pro-mods. I have nothing against the mods (Liz, I LOVE you ) but I also noticed that anything that was questioning why we couldn't bash CHARACTERS and STORIES was pretty much missing. I didn't see any outright nastiness. This is just my little old humble opinion. But if you can't post things for fear of someone taking a humorous jab at a fictional character and having it being taken seriously, then, well, I don't have much use for it. I think this Board handles it well. And we all respect each other but we seem to have a good handle on what's real, what's not and what's funny. And I will go with funny every single time. Even if it involves Zach. Okay, especially if it involves Zach
