Appreciation thread for nadinbrzezinski...

[ChisolmTrailDem]

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Violet_Crumble (a host of the General Discussion forum).

I appreciate you and will see you when you return from exile.

Also, I know you didn't post the score maliciously and I understand why you did it. I also understand that the more we participate and the more things change, the more likely it is that we'll mess up now and then. You are a perpetual contribution machine to these forums and I, for one, forgive you when you make a mistake or misstep or whatever. I truly appreciate your contribution to this forum.

Thanks again, nadin. I will miss you while you're gone. I hope you come back.

[Electric Monk]

1. Oh, is that what all the SPOILER ALERT threads last night were about? I missed what started it.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

9. Yep. She's gone for a month. She was going on the history of how the FIFA has been

live blogged on DU in FIFAs past and went too far in her assumption that everyone would already know the final score anyway. But, it wasn't done maliciously, in order to ruin the game for everyone.

[countryjake]

12. This hide is what started it...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10025154428

[Purveyor]

18. What a 'crock of shit'. It is no wonder this forum is on a slow path to

irrelevance.

Sorry this happened to you nadinbrzezinski...

[countryjake]

27. Yes, a bullshit hide on an innocent post, which rightfully pissed her off...

and led to this:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10025156161


I watched most of the blitzing of nadin happen in real time and I feel real bad that the actual spoil sports appear to have won the match.

[Hekate]

94. Sadly, she took the passive-aggressive route. But she'll be back after a rest.

I think MinMan had that part right, in his usual gentle way.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10025156161#post19

Nadin and I used to have some interesting conversations in the olden days, and I used to enjoy her contributions. This year not so much (Having "What say you?" thrown at me was a bit of a jolt, but no matter)-- but she's still an old-timer and a valued contributor.

If you're reading any of this, Nadine, no hard feelings -- just take a break, and we'll see you when we see you.

Hekate

[MissDeeds]

93. I could not agree more

What total BS. If folks didn't want to hear about the score, they should avoid TV, radio, internet, grocery stores, liquor stores, workplaces, bars, restaurants and anywhere and everywhere else the topic would likely come up. It was a huge news story! This is really above and beyond the bounds of reason and common sense. DU sometimes needs to grow the hell up.

[scarletwoman]

26. Un-fucking-believable! A hide for THAT?!?!

What kind of petulant, spoiled, over-privileged asshole would alert on a soccer result that would have been all over the frikkin' news anyway? And what kind of asshole jurors would go along with it?

Geeze...

[countryjake]

54. There was a ton of "rationalizing" for that first hide...

done here:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10025154741

Nadin did a fine job of keeping her cool, whilst she was being called an "attention-whore", accused of asshattery, and generally piled-on by personal attacks galore, but after yet another hide, she was "flagged for review" automatically, I guess, late yesterday afternoon. The hiding of her thread this morning, after she finally was able to return, is what put her over the top, Transparency Page revealed, suspended for over a month.

I have no idea why someone would jump with such speed to punish an innocent thread about a live international sporting event; she was hidden within mere minutes after announcing that the USA would advance, simultaneously with the nationwide celebration of that fact.

Mind-boggling.

Outrageous.

[Blue_In_AK]

91. I think we all know why.

There are some fairly petty folks on this site, sad to say.

[Katashi_itto]

109. Agree. I don't take DU seriously anymore, it's on a slow decline.

[WHEN CRABS ROAR]

125. Yep,to many many games being played here

with tender sensitive ego's.

[Divernan]

149. And their pettiness is associated with whatever candidate they support.

Back in the day when bumper stickers were much more in use, I would remind folks that when they have a candidate's bumper sticker on their car, they should be extra careful to not only follow the rules of the road, but to be a polite and courteous driver. Simply put, if you support candidate "Y" via a bumper sticker on your car, and you drive like an asshole (refusing to yield right of way, cutting off someone to get a parking space, running yellow lights, etc., ) you are telling the world that candidate "Y" appeals to assholes - this does NOT win votes.

[MrMickeysMom]

140. Jeebus… what IS this?

How ridiculous some people are here.

[grahamhgreen]

165. WTF????

[RobertEarl]

2. She is a Hell raiser

For that i will kick this.

[Uncle Joe]

3. As do I, Nadin does make a great contribution to D.U.

Take care Nadin, I'm looking forward to your return.

Thanks for the thread, ChisolmTrailDem

[In_The_Wind]

4. I didn't know she was gone.

dang

[ChisolmTrailDem]

10. She'll be gone for a month. If she returns at all. nt

[In_The_Wind]

13. I hope she comes back!

Thanks for this thread so we can let her know we care.

[calimary]

84. Me too!!!!

[MrMickeysMom]

142. DU's lucky if she does

Truth, Ruth...

[snooper2]

5. She is our dark horse!

[mindwalker_i]

6. Alert!

Just kidding

[MrMickeysMom]

143. I see your alert and raise you ONE!

OOoooooooOOOOOoooooOOOOOooooo Noes1!111!!11!!1!1!!

Okay…. don't hurt me… I'm kidding… I'll be good

[yallerdawg]

7. Come back soon!

[LiberalLoner]

8. +1

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

11. Huh?

Catch me up. She had her posting privileges revoked for posting a soccer score? Serious?

[giftedgirl77]

19. She hit her 5 hide yesterday....

I think 4 of those hides were yesterday.

[tammywammy]

21. That's not the reason.

That was her third hide. Her fourth was also yesterday when she asked another poster "who's sock are you?" Her fifth hide was today after her two hide suspension was lifted for her meta thread in GD. I think the hosts should have locked that thread and then it wouldn't have gone to a jury.

So she's gone for a month or so until she's back down to only having 4 posts hidden.

[snooper2]

22. It takes 5 hides to lose your capabilities, she got a little upsetty and went to defcon 5

But you know what happens when you go on vacation mode right!

[ChisolmTrailDem]

24. Well, partially. She did post one or two that got hidden justly. I didn't

witness the entire thing from start to finish but perhaps someone who saw the whole thing will help lay it out.

[MrMickeysMom]

144. That's just it, Jeff… I can't tell if some people are serious...

That is, humanoid and not automatons with a broom stuck up their ass.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

14. A rather stupid and friviolous reason to suspend privileges, if you ask me.

I mean, really, my Yahoo home page had the score front and center as soon as it posted.

But then again, what can we expect in a DU that hides Chuggo videos?

[snooper2]

25. CHUGGO!

LOL,

haven't heard that name in years


Chuggo over Weezer tune

[Tommy_Carcetti]

28. Poor Chuggo's in jail. Although I much prefer fictional Chuggo myself. :)

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1018626375

http://noisey.vice.com/en_ca/blog/we-checked-in-with-chuggo-to-see-how-he-was-doing-in-jail

[bravenak]

69. Your fictional Chuggo story has inspired me.

To me, it's the real Chuggo in that story, the whole dirty deal. I would like to share some poutine with him in a diner somewhere, and reminisce about the day he died.

I am writing a book where the character listens to chuggo and thinks that's what rap is.

[bluesbassman]

113. FREE CHUGGO!

And Nadin too.

[BainsBane]

47. I wouldn't have hidden any of those

except for the sock comment, if I had been on the jury. However, when one gets a hide, doubling down is never a good idea. Juries don't like it.

[Logical]

92. So now you want to rank locked posts? n-t

[H2O Man]

15. Recommended.

A good friend!

[Raksha]

49. A good friend of mine too. n/t

[leftstreet]

16. She's much less rude than she used to be

I was happy to see her learning to get along here

[Raksha]

51. When was she ever rude?

Outspoken, yes...and she doesn't suffer fools gladly. She also doesn't react well to being stalkked and harassed - but then I don't either.

But then maybe you and I have different definitions of rudeness.

[leftstreet]

87. Seriously?

She used to get really belligerent and personal with members who disagreed with her. No shyte

I'm thinking now the jury system may have helped in her quest to improve her behavior. She's been much better lately

[zeemike]

103. Well I had a long sub thread with her on an issue

And she was forceful in her opnions...and so was I.
But I never considered that rude...in fact I admired her for standing up for what she believed even if I disagreed with it...but that is just me...others seem to take offense at people who stand up strongly for what they believe.

It blows me away that she got this hide...and it pisses me off that such things happen all to frequently here.

I want her back...she contributes a lot to this place.

[MrMickeysMom]

151. Yes, the re-education system seems to be going along very well...

[rudolph the red]

88. Pretty much every time anyone challenged or questioned her opinion on any subject.

[MrMickeysMom]

153. Really?

Show us one…

[Marrah_G]

17. Sorry to see this

Her stalkers must be very happy today.

[Skittles]

34. her stalkers are f***ing COWARDS

yes INDEED

[MuseRider]

42. Yup

I was just reading through the posts to post my own after saying exactly what you just said. Too many people here are stalked and alerted so often they spend a lot of time away from here.

Skittles

[kentauros]

59. Have you ever noticed that some of her stalkers

(if not more than simply "some&quot are complete assholes about all sorts of topics on DU? It's a wonder they are still here...

Well, I do look forward to her "Welcome Back" thread when she returns. We'll have a nice stalker-stomping party!

[Skittles]

70. oh absolutely

and if any of them are reading this: FUCK YOU!!!

[Trajan]

111. LOL ... Hell yeah !

+1,000,000,000

[BrotherIvan]

124. Right fucking on.

Jesus, your replies are so damn hilarious I nearly wet myself sometimes.

[SaveOurDemocracy]

90. Yes, and they belittle and demean nadin at every opportunity ... Pitiful lot.

Asshats, everyone of them.

[villager]

74. They have always been a cowardly bunch with very itchy "alert" trigger fingers...

And it finally paid off for them with the chickenshit FIFA "hide..."

[Skittles]

75. yup: chickenshit assholes

f*** them all

[villager]

76. They have a mission, though, to make this a center/right "underground"

And part of that is by driving all the non-Stepfordites away...

[Skittles]

116. they cannot drive me away

I will fight the little chickenshit bastards

[villager]

119. they will start alerting on you for soccer scores and kitteh pictures then

...waiting til they find the right jury to "hide" your "offending" posts....

[MrMickeysMom]

154. Nice to see you clean up your act, Skittles...

I just hate to use the word, "F**K

[Skittles]

157. I sometimes mask, sometimes not

have always done that

[nenagh]

20. Thanks nadin for your many posts that I enjoy...

and thanks ChisolmTrailDem for this thread.

[mwrguy]

23. DAY ONE

[ReRe]

29. Not to worry...

... Nadine will be back. Wait and see.

[KamaAina]

30. We were wrong, and we just can't live without you

[Half-Century Man]

31. Nadinbrzezinski..??!!

I'm shocked.
I had no idea something like this was going on. I don't give a crap about sports of any kind so I never click on a sports thread.

I've typed and erased three lines now. This is the reason I pay no attention to professional sports, there are already too many stupid reasons to get into fights with out purposely seeking a new one out.

I will miss you nadin. See you soon.

[polichick]

32. Thanks for lots of great posts, nadin! Enjoy the time off...

Sometimes time away can be very refreshing!!

[Skittles]

33. LOVES ME SOME NADIN

and if people want to be in the dark about something, STAY OFF THE INTERNET

[RobertEarl]

35. Have you noticed this?

There are members here who have served on juries over 600 times.

[Raksha]

61. Really?

How do you find out how many times someone has served on a jury?

[RobertEarl]

64. Profile page

Like this:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=profile

Number of times served on Jurie

[Raksha]

77. Thanks!

I'll make a point of checking for that from now on.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

106. 120 for me. And I'm here every single day, all day, and haven't gotten 600. nt

[RobertEarl]

115. How many Hides from you? n/t

[ChisolmTrailDem]

121. If I understand your question, I really have no clue how many posts I've hidden. I do tend

to be a bit more liberal in how I interpret the alert. So I probably have fewer hides than leaves.

[RobertEarl]

128. Probably?

No clue?

I think #hides should be displayed on a member's count of jury service so we would all have a clue. Y'know, record votes.

[kentauros]

71. Your number of times served is on your profile page.

But, unless you are checking every single profile out there, I don't know how you'd find out who has the most. I've never seen anything as high as 600, so far.

[bluesbassman]

101. You'd be surprised. I know of one member who has served on over 900.

I'll bet there are a lot over 600. Heck I'm at 440 and I'm not on all the time.

[kentauros]

105. Okay

I guess it depends on how often you check people's profiles. It's just not a common thing for me to do unless they're being a total ass to me for some reason (you're not)

[bluesbassman]

110. Oh, I hear you.

About the only time I check is if it's a new (or new to me) poster and I want to get a little background info for response purposes. Or your reason too!

[RobertEarl]

136. Check the profiles on that deleted post

Hmmmm close to 2000 in total jury services.

Link:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10025159706

[villager]

120. That would actually explain a lot about the "reinforce my vendetta" nature of the "jury" system...

n/t

[RobertEarl]

127. That's how I see it, too

They keep a DU window open so they can be ready to hide a post that makes them whimper. Some have in the past admitted as much.

It is not a healthy community when so few are jurists. Such situations are prime for abuse. And there is evidence of abuse.

None of this is really that big a deal, it is just a message board. But when they post OPs with their drooling over a member's misfortunes, it makes DU suck.

[Cleita]

160. I always note who participates in those grave dancing posts.

I have made a list and it's pretty consistent and damning.

[RobertEarl]

164. They are part of the reason DU at times sucks, imo. n/t

[MrMickeysMom]

161. Gee… Now I want to count mine...

Lessee…. I'm at 108! I've been around for a good long while here.

[neverforget]

36. and now there's a thread celebrating it.

Oh no. she doesn't have any stalkers/bullies here.

[Union Scribe]

45. He actually started two.

One to mock this thread, and one to celebrate a month of "bliss"--I guess just one wasn't enough.

[kentauros]

79. And now one has been "self-deleted"

and the other is sinking like a stone. Thankfully.

What can appreciate about this is that the stalkers are now fuming at the support she's getting. Oh, they'll still be laughing at us in private, but no longer doing it (or doing it nearly as well) in public.

[bettyellen]

37. She's on FB claiming Skinner works for the DLC , lol....

So.... if she actually believes that, why would she want back in. To disrupt?

[pintobean]

66. With lots of support

from people who are not welcome here.

[bettyellen]

73. I only saw Tavener agreeing.... But a few hosts hate the alert system and make no bones about it....

So, is there an actual endgame? Aside from investigating Skinner? This shit is confusing!

[Owl]

134. I wish Taverner was back. His posts were interesting.

[JDPriestly]

38. What! I almost posted the score myself but got too busy.

This reporting system went far too far in Nadin's case.

We miss you, Nadin. I hope someone will let you know.

How petty can you get. Over a silly World Cup game score. That's pretty juvenile.

If you watch the game for the plays and not just the score, you know you are a real fan. When you watch just for the score, I just don't know what to think.

[Bluenorthwest]

39. Hey Sports Fans, I don't know what time you watch already decided matches on TV

so I'd have no idea that if I mentioned the score of a completed game, published around the world I'd be spoiling something for someone in some time zone. How one can 'give away' that which is already global news is hard for me to fathom. Each day I communicate with people on several continents. I'd have to be a hermit not to hear scores.

[Raksha]

40. Thank you for this thread, ChisolmTrailDem

Nadin is a friend of mine and I miss her presence on DU already, even though I stay in contact with her elsewhere.

[calimary]

86. Well, please tell her we miss her! Want her back!

Please give her our love and support. This that happened strikes me as being utter bullshit.

[SaveOurDemocracy]

97. Oops, delete.

[Owl]

135. I miss her too.

[gratuitous]

41. Void where prohibited

And there are certainly some threads going on which I'd like to void . . .

[kentuck]

43. Really?

No, really?? She is gone for that??

[joeybee12]

44. SPOILER ALERT!

I am kicking and reccing!!!

[malaise]

46. Nadin will definitely be missed

[Agnosticsherbet]

48. I support and appreciate nadinbrezezinski.

Come back when you can.

[KamaAina]

50. The gloating has begun

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10025159706

and don't bother to alert on it. It already got left 1-6.

[KamaAina]

104. And continues

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10025160093

[longship]

52. Nadine, you will be missed. Hurry back.

Remember, there are many, many here who appreciate your contributions.

Best wishes to you.

Best regards.

[stillwaiting]

53. The jury system has made this website so unappealing.

I visit so much less frequently than I used to, and I post even less (not that I have ever posted that frequently).

It is a damn shame and unbelievable to me that someone like nadinbrzezinski could lose posting privileges for a month based on the jury system here. There is something very, very wrong with the system here.

[Union Scribe]

55. I never believed her that she was targeted.

I do now. And some seem downright proud of it.

[neverforget]

85. they sure do. high fiving themselves in that now self deleted thread.

They showed their true colors.

[JohnnyLib2]

56. Aw, jeez.

[RainDog]

57. The targeting of Nadin should stop

It's too bad there's no more forced ignore for some people.

[stevenleser]

58. She and I have had words, but the whole soccer score thing is a ridiculous reason

to hide a post and if that contributed to the break she is having to endure, it's not right.

[Anansi1171]

60. THIS NEWBIE AND FELLOW SAN DIEGAN IN COMPLETE SOLIDARITY!

Nadin's blogging here is a fresh voice.

Stay Classy!

[hrmjustin]

62. Was very upset to see this.

I am taking a little time off from DU. I need a break. Best wishes!

[mountain grammy]

63. I'll miss you too, nadin and I too am shocked

and disappointed that the post was even alerted on, much less hidden.

[Tikki]

65. I appreciate her posts....

She keeps a sharp eye on California concerns...her posts are often my first
glimpse in what is going on around me.


Tikki

[alsame]

67. K&R. I've seen her being swarmed,

it's juvenile and disgusting. The fact that people repeatedly do this rather than just putting her on ignore means they enjoy this ugly little sport.

I look forward to your return, nadin.

[Warpy]

68. She is going to be very much missed over the month

She posts so much great stuff that doesn't offend sports people.

[bravenak]

72. I like Nadin too.nt

[LittleBlue]

78. She's always been nice to me, so I'll support her

She's a solid progressive as far as I'm concerned. Hopefully she will return soon.

[Aerows]

80. Shout out to nadin :) n/t

[Rex]

81. I have to say, it does seem like she got 'swarm alerted' on...something that supposedly

does not happen here. 2 of those posts deserved to be hidden, the last three are very petty hides imo. All the more reason to have an accurate blacklist.

[DeSwiss]

82. I have no idea what's going on here at DU anymore.

- This place is under attack, by itself.

nadinbrzezinski, hang in there. Keep doing it your way.....

K&R

[rurallib]

83. sounds pretty fucking insane

Hope she returns. She is one of the core of folks who really make this place hum.

[cwydro]

89. Lmao.

I can't stand Nadin. Nothing to do with this.

Missed this whole kerfluffle. So who won the game? I still don't know.

[Logical]

95. I miss the unrec! n-t

[SaveOurDemocracy]

99. I miss it every time I read one of your posts.

[Logical]

118. Ahhhh, someone needs a nap! n-t

[abbeyco]

96. This place has degenerated into a juvenile jr high clique-fest

It's truly disheartening to see what happened to Nadin and to what's happening to DU in general. I read the Sunday LOL Cats because Salmon's creativity is a sheer delight. The other petty bullshit has truly turned this place into the Mean Girls club and it's pretty pathetic that it's been allowed to devolve like it has.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

107. Bingo. Sadly. nt

[SomethingFishy]

117. +1 All those threads about how "DU hasn't changed" are bullshit.

This place gets harder and harder to enjoy. I finally broke out the "ignore" after 10 years on here...

[laundry_queen]

150. That one made me LOL

with the jury system, OMC would've had his own groupies that would've alerted on everything H2O man wrote. It has definitely changed.

[Android3.14]

98. Karma

If it was unjust to Nadine, then wcaga. Otherwise, wgaca.

[DoBotherMe]

100. See you soon nadin

Dana ; )

[SaveOurDemocracy]

102. Look forward to your return, nadin. Keep ruffling those feathers.

Same small group has been nipping at her heels for years now. Their obsession is bizarre. I guess they are oblivious to how apparent their pettiness and bullying are to the rest of us.




BULLSHIT hide! Soccer score FFS!! In the age of twitter/facebook ... LOL



STAY THE FUCK OFF THE INTERNET IF SEEING A SCORE WILL RUIN YOUR FUCKIN' DAY!



Hang in there nadin ...

[deathrind]

108. Sad...

This site has certainly gone downhill over the last few years. The over zealous sensitivity too almost everything now has reached a level of ridiculousness.

[emsimon33]

112. Welcome back! I sure missed you!!!!!

[wildbilln864]

114. absolutely! k&r! n't

[AngryOldDem]

122. Well, I hope people are happy, now.

Jesus. This place.

[Phlem]

123. I appreciate your being here nadinbrzezinski!

Always the best from you every time. Thank you for helping us steer through the maze of information here on DU.

Look forward to more!

[90-percent]

126. I was shut down by a DU jury about a year ago.

Here's my comments from another post of mine.

And, as long as I'm blathering, one of the most hurtful things I experienced on DU was when I posted a link to a drudge or a newsmax type item to discuss oppo research. And I was shut down 5 to 1 by a DU jury. Tried and convicted by a jury of my peers for being a right wing troll. My feelings were really hurt by that one, as it happened less than a year ago, after I'd been here perhaps nine years. Like I spent nine years and 4,500 posts to go deep undercover so I could slip in one subversive piece of righty propaganda.

The vigilante politically correct aroma around DU is percolating and festering. In the chilling words of Ari Fleischer during the Iraq Invasion Propaganda campaign,

"The presidential press secretary, Ari Fleischer, condemned Bill Maher's irreverent comic response to 9/11 by reminding "all Americans that they need to watch what they say, watch what they do." (cut and pasted form a Christopher Hitchens slate.com piece for some context)

It's ironic that an exercise of free speech that was well intentioned and in the spirit of what DU is supposed to be all about, gets so vilified. I did learn from my Drag Racing boards that it's prudent to wait a day before discussing the outcome of a race. Lots of my buds tape it and watch it later.

DU cured nadinbrzezinski's dandruff by decapitation, to paraphrase Frank Zappa. Additionally, I get really freaked out by anything that has an aroma of bullying. And ganging up on people. I'm a stickler for fairness and I bridle at the smallest of injustices.

-90% Jimmy

[treestar]

129. Why are people so defensive of a poster who was subjected to the rules?

No one is special. We are all subject to the jury.

[Owl]

130. Love her!

K&R!

[liberal_at_heart]

131. me too. nadinbrzezinski is probably the only poster I have ever disagreed with over education and

still hold deep respect for as a poster. Sometimes DU just sucks.

[heaven05]

132. I think she's cool

and from what I've read about the hide, that it is WRONG. People here and in the streets, edgy as hell. The political and racial climate is this country is fucked. Nadine is cool.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

133. This whole thing is one of DU's more embarrassing moments.

And I want to add that Nadin has contributed MUCH more to DU over her many years here than those who are busy doing their little happy dance because she's been temporarily booted.

One more reason DU sucks far too often these days.

[Omaha Steve]

137. SPOILER: There are some Cavers laughing their asses off

I await the return too.

[rudolph the red]

145. Fuck them

[AngryOldDem]

162. +10,000 n/t

[denbot]

138. A kick for nbk

One of our very best DU'ers.

[BainsBane]

139. I did a kind of appreciation thread for some people on forced leave

from a safe haven group. Someone took it to ATA to denounce me, and some months later I was called out as a troll for having posted the thread. And how more than 100 people rec this one. I can't help but find the contrast interesting.

141. I missed this, but whoever thinks it was cool to take Nadin down is nothing

better than the other trolls trying to bring down this website by targeting long time contributors. They may have won the battle but the war isn't over. If you are reading this Nadin, keep up the blogging in the meantime. That's something those disrupters can't take down.

146. Unfair.

Why the people who dislike her so much cannot just put her on ignore and leave her alone I do not understand.

Personality conflicts happen, it's nothing new or even unusual. Ignore those you can't bear to read here and move on. It would really make DU a better place for you and all the rest of us too.

147. Looks like she got a red card

148. Nadin please add my support!

I always love reading your posts. If the same happened to me I'd be just as pissed as you were. Know that you have the support of many who you don't even know ... like me.

152. OH NO, Nadin exiled? WHAT A LOSS!!!

155. For reporting a sports score??? Really???

That is bizarre. Who would get upset enough about that to flag the post??? Weird.

156. it really seems like there is a small group of DUers who bait and harrass Nadine....

I think she does a remarkable job of keeping her cool, sometimes. I hope she comes back.

158. This just baffles me

Nadin actually goes out her way to piss people off and never EVER apologizes when she's wrong. The Spoiler she posted SHOULD have been hidden by the hosts in GD but of course hosts can hardly hide anything anymore so it's no surprise a jury ended up with it. After that her train simply left the rails, a thing it does on a fairly regular basis around here, and she racked up two more hides in quick succession. Where is the injustice exactly? I'm not seeing it.

163. nadinbrzezinski ...

If you don't decide to come back again, please remember that I'll never forget the fact that YOU, yes you nadinbrzezinski, have been my champion when I had seemingly no one.

Hope to see you again.
