of GBBF?

Mine will always be the two words of a thread started by our fab Cigs years ago - "Double Standards"

Don't get me wrong. I've mostly loved being part of GBBF......wouldn't have lasted such a long time if the bad stuff didn't outweigh the good stuff.

But I have alternately been booing and cheering at various stuff I read on there during this final night (the vino encouraged me to boo very loudly, btw Glance). And the one thing that 3D'd out of my screen consistently over there tonight was that good old double standards are still alive & kicking azz.

You can point and laugh at someone, or chuck all sorts of abuse all over the place (in !!!SWEARY CAPITALS!!! even) and it's OK, because your mates think you're cool. But if someone you and your mates don't like do exactly the same thing to you.......well, that's a most definite outraged no-no.

Everyone here in our shiny new home is still on their best behaviour. After reading GBBF tonight, I'm wondering how long this cherubic honeymoon period over here will last.

Personally I'd love GaGaJoy to make like Heathrow's Terminal 5, and just lose huge piles of people's "baggage" on Arrivals. Or maybe now they've vented one last time, some will be more inclined to do this

I take folk as I find them.99% on GBBF have been sound.I've been there for over six years,seen sub fora come and go(the cause of most trouble) and lately the book of faces(not on).So who cares really in the great scheme of things of he/she said.
Go and scuttle around with gossip and nastiness if you like.

I'm not fussed...scratches arse.

I've been around a year longer....and, as usual, you're aboslutely right. Scratched arse and all.

I don't know what's gone on in the other place over the last few weeks but I really hope any bad feeling that there was has been left there and that everyone can just 'Live and let live' Smiler

I joined the forum when I was going through a bad time and the people there went a long way to getting me through that, whether they knew it or not Smiler

GBBF could be a bit mental at times but there was always someone to offer a shoulder to anyone who needed it... and I lost count of the times I nearly ruptured myself trying not to laugh out loud at some of the posts late at night Glance Big Grin

That was what was so good about it... and what will hopefully carry on being good about it here Smiler

I didn't see your name mentioned, tupps. Nor mine for a change. Do you feel somewhat diminished? Glance

It'll be fine, Queen..........wait and see Wink Look how long GBBF lasted, despite all the garbage that went on over the years.

I am hoping that people's baggage will be left behind and this forum will be a fresh beginning for us all.

What happened over there last night was inevitable, predictable and unnecessary. But hey ho, I think most expected something to kick off.

I haven't been over there this morning yet Glance

I'm kinda scared to go in there today... yet strangely fascinated too! Big Grin If I'm honest, I'm sure some there will be some shit stirrers jumping in here when the playground closes. I've never been involved, and never been too good at working out who's who with the multiple ID's but I really don't let it bother me - other than getting frustrated because it gets so boring opening a thread to find the same old shit inside. Can I make a plea for people to IGNORE on here and not to fall into the trap of being wound up?

My lasting impression.....hmmm....

I think it's that somehow I ended up in a time tunnel and got whisked back to primary school! Eeker Big Grin

The only thing I find really frustrating about it all - is I like posting with FM's on both sides of most of these arguments. Due to that a lot of the time I don't post, as to post with either one could be seen as taking sides....and posting on forums is meant to be fun (I think) not an all out war!
