It would have been an eye-opener, I'm sure. I had my preferences but once I saw what was happening (and realized I couldn't manipulate it into something entertaining ) I bailed. People are still licking their wounds over that one. The audience was bigger then, so I like to think there was more intelligence behind it, but not really. Maybe the most recent one was just less amusing because by then it was more predictable.

I remember the Blair fans just shook their heads at the whole thing like we were just a bunch of mischieveous children.

Rhinohide! LOL. That's where the name came from. Thick skin is a requirement. Kevlar is preferable, I just didn't think of it at the time or that would be my name.

Seriously ABC was the first board I found (as it is for most newcomers to the online soap scene), and it was before the fanwar thing broke out, and it was just light and fun. Then the nastiest fanwar I've ever seen since I've been online erupted and the rest is history. In fairness, I must admit I participated, actively. <blush>. I liken it to being in a rough bar, without knowing what you're walking into until a fight breaks out. But I am very stubborn, and I don't take kindly to being pushed around, so I just refused to leave. I am also fairly adaptable. LOL. I can conduct myself properly (IMO) in most environments. I consider ABC mb a very rough pool hall. Soapzone is kind of like a country club. SON is like church.

And I would never consider you a drone! I just thought maybe you'd developed a daring streak I was previously unaware of. The dish is like a strip club (I guess, since I've never been in one of those!) or worse. I've lurked there only a few times, and I had to shower afterward. <shudder>

I got banned from there.

But I've never seen people whine so incessantly. Seriously? What's the point? Something makes me that unhappy, I stop doing it.

But then what will they have to complain about???

But seriously, I agree with you. Nothing is more irrating then people who constantly whine and gripe about something. It gets old pretty quick.

So nothing's changed. I gave up on it last autumn.

I thought it would turn around. BHH used to be a pretty good discussion board, but that was years ago when it first started.

Nope nothing has changed there. Still the same cesspool it has always been.

Being banned from that site is almost a badge of honour. I'm so old I can remember when the same could have been said about being banned from Mediadomain.

This was very interesting. Thanks for posting!
