Pitiful, pitiful, pitiful

Zerelda has a staggering case of chutzpah. She is one of the worst offenders on the chat board. Endless posts as if the rest of us care what's in her head. She treats this as if it's her personal blog.

First off, this particular "Was There" is not our regular "Was there". This is a person with one whole post to his name.

Secondly, I'm so sure that this person is yet again confusing Zerelda with Zabadu (me).

In response to the post - go cry somewhere else.

@Wasthere: I disagree. @zerelda has her opinions like any one else on this blog, and she has never used offensive profanity like several of the recent posters on the Ep 9 & 10 thread.

Same goes for @zabadu, if you meant her. Neither of the "z" 's have ever stooped to using disrespectful female slander in any of their posts.

There have been many threatening, abusive, harassing, vulgar, obscene, hateful, racist, sexist, disrespectful posts recently. Some of these posts do appear to be purposely disruptive of the functionality of the board. It seems to be one person posing as 5 or 6 different people. Part of the problem is they keep coming back under different screen names.

Argh, the first part of my quote didn't go through. It was supposed to start with the following sentence from the AMC Terms and Conditions page: You agree not to use our website or Interactive Areas linked through our website to make available any content, information or materials that: ...

(Neither Zerelda nor Zabadu are offenders.)

I love Zerelda's and Zabadu's posts--particularly Zab's links. They add value to our conversations, they don't disrupt.

Thank you Zerelda for your effort. I second your motion.

DO NOT mess with Zerelda!

First, huge thanks Zerelda for tackling this issue... bow of gratitude here..

BC..Second you on loving Zab and Zerelda 's posts...

Bluegirl... thanks for posting the "Terms"page... its pretty clear which multi-named troll is in violation.

All... I think I see how the troll attempted to impersonate Wasthere... its all in the spacing.

Lily: lilyoei.amc@gmail.com

Start reporting these people when you see them.

On the episode thread, I posted a response to a jas[somenumber] and then poof, his post is gone. But I checked his history and it didn't scream troll, though that particular post was very stupid. Anyway, Lily pulled it, so she's obviously keeping an eye on the IP addresses.

Thanks for your kind comments, folks. I can ignore trolls with the best of them, but sometimes a person just gets fed up. Not sure if my post was responsible or if it just coincided with Lily's massive cleanup...either way, good riddance to bad rubbish. Here's hoping we can all enjoy these last episodes of Mad Men without further distraction.

@Zerelda, SugarBear, et al. SOMEONE JUST STOKE MY IDENTITY!!! I DID NOT POST THAT ABOUT OUR WONDERFUL ZERELDA. SHE IS ONE OF MY VERY FAVORITES. THANKS ZABADU FOR POINTING IT OUT TO ME. I AM IN AGREEMENT WITH ALL ABOUT THE TROLL(S) AND WILL CONTACT LILY ON THIS.

Oops, I meant "stole" not "stoke." Sorry. I'm sick with a bad virus and this has made me even sicker. I'm sure that was the intention of our favorite troll.

I do have terrible trolldar, but I think I just have to resist responding to any ridiculously stupid post, lol! Then it's too late and I've already fed the beast.

Thanks again Zerelda and Zab and all the others who kept on this.

And thanks Lily!

And if you click on my picture with the hands together (Maddicts) you will see that the troll's comment is not included in my recent posts.

This is my one post that has nothing to do with Mad Men, it is only personal, read if you like, if not, please ignore. I am one of the posters on this website that has been complained about to Lily, and I am still here. I post about the show, nothing else except this one, recipes, no stories about my job, wanting to meet for coffee, no requests for sympathy because I have a migraine or anything else. I am one of the posters that has been complained about, and I am still here, and as someone wrote that complained, I am an exemplary poster. Do you remember in grade school, there was always someone in the classroom, that threaI readened everyone with "Im telling the teacher". Everyone despised that person, well guess what folks, you are that person!
