What am I missing? Why are ppl leaving?

DeLarla · February 23, 2006

How am I expected to avoid LBT when I've received 16 PMs and e-mails similar to this one? I said I'd stay around to read PMs and continue my challenge thread, but since Susan is adamant about keeping this alive, the person that sent this e-mail to me would like me to post it for her. Honestly, I'm trying to work for a change, but I'm not letting this stuff go silent any more. So, in answer to the original question:

Dear Lisa, I’m sorry to email you instead of PMing or posting on the site, but I have unfortunately been run off LBT. I wanted to share my thoughts on the topic that has been causing such a stir at LBT. No one wants to come out with it, but the big change that everyone keeps referring to is the emergence of the Susan and Paul autocracy. I’m not sure who died and turned them into moderators and the official LBT police, but ever since they’ve started being active, the site has gone WAY downhill.

Some comments I made about another poster were totally exaggerated by Susan, and she caused a gang up on me. I then chose to delete all my posts and remove myself from the website. Except it’s kinda like watching a trainwreck….I only go back now to see what other nonsense Susan and Paul are instigating.

I don’t really understand their dynamic, and I think someone else pointed out how creepy it is that they live together yet communicate through LBT. Weird. One minute they’re joining in the fun, the next they’re getting on someone’s case for what they think is an inappropriate post. I was really mad when I saw Susan make Nykee feel stupid for posting her banana story. I think Susan needs to remove the banana from her own ass before she goes around embarrassing someone as kind and honest as Nykee.

And, hello, they’ve been on the board, what, like a minute? It really bothers me when new people try to upset the dynamic. Susan and Paul have just decided to take over the board and run people off. It’s such a shame.

Ok, sorry for my personal rant, but I just wanted to share with you. I feel that other people have noticed that Susan and Paul are the big problem, but with things being so touchy, no one wants to call them out. I mean, with their united front, you get that back talk shit in surround sound.

Anyway, I think you are such a fun person, and your posts have always been delightful. You were especially kind to me when I emailed you after I first had surgery, and I appreciated your help. You are like the cool big sister of LBT, and I’m sorry to see you upset by these people.

Thanks for reading my rant.

ShellyJ - I was joking with Donali.

DeLarla - There are no words for you.

Oy vey....when will it ever end?

PhotoNut · February 23, 2006

This has clearly become a personal attack on us. I request that it stop.

People's true colors ALWAYS show through. Sometimes I forget that I don't have to jump up and down and point it out. They usually do it themselves before long.

One word..........RIDICULOUS!!!

I absolutely refuse to be drawn into a childish war with DeLarla or her friends. We have been baited all week long and you all might as well give up.

For those of you who wish to pick up this new 'war' please don't do so on our behalf. Of all the things to be going on, this is just pathetic and I won't be involved . And I'm going to continue to ignore all of you involved. Just like I have been doing.

Rock on! :rockon:
