Who is being a "Troll" now Sean??????????????</end quote></div>


A douche lunger in England that goes by a name he shouldn't be allowed to be called by law? Gee, let me postulate a bit on this one. You are doing nothing but reaffirming what I said about you on the UK forum. Good job.

This really isn't about respect or blocking another's opinions, it's a forum for advice.
It's also about a misappropriate post made on the wrong thread.
I have nothing but respect for Allie and what she's gone through, BUT we do not know what is going on. Esp. when you toss Sean Davis into the mix.

She posts something about Sean Davis harassing her, she might have a valid reason for that, and if that's the only way she can get attention and perhaps give him a heads up that he's really creeping her out then yes this might be the place to do it. Given SeanDavis's strong personality we don't know if that WAS the only way she could get attention, but when it is nothing more than a joke, which sounds more like an in-joke between two friends, and it's posted on this thread in a serious matter then I don't see a problem with it being locked. Neither we nor the administrators know what's going on in this situation. If it's joking, then it's still in the wrong space. If it's serious then the whole forum knows that Allie is upset and SeanDavis is the one that is bothering her. Not that we can do much about it, but at least that knowledge is public.

This forum is not a dating site, that's what match.com is for. Nor is this site a place for random hook-ups, etc. We come here for support, advice, and tips usually surrounding CF, when it doesn't surround CF then that's what the Off Topic Category is for. We come here for friendship. Sometimes we hit hot topics eventually that turn volatile, but what friendship doesn't have a little turbulence.

If I were just coming to the boards as a casual visitor and I came across that post it would make me think of that WellSpouses thread. It would make me think that there is somebody on these boards who is harassing another person. It would also make me think that they hooked up here. It all comes across showing that this site is not reputable, nor is it a place to get great information (which it is)...

These are just some random thoughts going through my head at the moment..

SeanDavis, sometimes your perception of humor and that of others differs greatly. I don't have the place to say this, but I am going to say it regardless, please remember to think of the implications of what you say before you post. I find that there is nothing humorous in harassment, even joking about it.
Now I have written more than I ever planned to on this particular comment.

I didn't think it was funny either, I read this post before I went to school this morning and I was seriously worried about Allie all day today... It doesn't look like a joke.. their is nothing in there to let on it was a joke ...

I am still waiting on ALlie to say if it is a joke or not... Odd.

Well.....the anony that posted right after me made my point!

If you have a rude comment to make to me......PUT A NAME TO IT!!!!

I should have known that if I didn't have something happy and fun to say that people were going to get rude.

I had a question about why the post was locked and got my answer from bill. That's all I need to know!

I already left CF2CHAT because people are so nice and cute till you have something to say that people might disagree with.....then things would get REAL nasty.

My post was not about whether what Sean and Allie did was right......my question was why the post was blocked......and look at what it has come to.

I am still waiting for Allie as well. I find it very hard to believe that she would make any sort of joke relating to the death of her husband. I just dont believe it!

Allie, you have asked me in the past to be honest, and I have decided to be just that. I asked you in the past what you found humor in. I find it hard to believe that it is this, that you find humor in. I wont believe it until you say it was meant to be a joke.

I'm not Allie, but I talk to her a lot. And I just wanted to comment on this. Not everyone grieves the same way, as I'm sure we all know. Allie is and Ry was a huge smart*ss. She has to be able to laugh at him, poke fun at him, and such. Whenever we talk about his death in a surface sort of tone, we say smart*ss stuff about him. If we're talking about how devastated she is, and how she misses him and such, we generally don't. We've talked about him going to Jew hell (of course we don't believe this). We've made mention of "Ry would've loved such and such" "Ah well, it's his loser fault he missed it, for going and dying." We talk about how her and my Mike will make fun of me and Ry together when I die, about how we're big losers who had to go die. I make fun of Allie, telling her she needs to shop for a husband more carefully. She bought a very cheap model with a terrible warranty. It's not as if she changed just for this whole thing. She's always had a good sense of humor about his death, that whole thing.

I'm not dead yet, and don't plan on croaking for a while, if I have any say in it. I don't imagine Mike will be in much of a mood to joke for the first few weeks or even months. But I hope that he can keep his wonderful sense of humor and make jokes about me the same way Allie does Ry. It only comes from love, and trying to grieve in her own way. It's kind of a good memory for Ry, because it's a good example of his huge smart*ss type of humor. She's picking up where he left off, something like that.

And Allie is currently a bit shy about responding, I'm sure she will later. But for now, if anyone wishes to trust my word, it was indeed a joke. Allie says it was Sean's idea, and she told him it was a bad one. But that she went along with it. It was, as she says, a social experiment to see how fast they could get a topic locked.

If Allie says it was a joke, it was a joke. At least as far as I'm concerned. I trust her a lot.

Oh and I wanted to add: Allie would never truthfully disrespect Ry. She pokes fun, but it's the kind of stuff Ry himself would've gotten a kick out of. Before he died, he often left personal ads all over the house, circling the nice single guys he approved of. It was just his style. She loves him more than anything in the world and would never do something she saw as actually truly disrespect to him or his memory.

Thank you for your input Emily. I know that Allie & You are very close and that the "morbid" humour comes into play often. What I think most of us are upset about is 1)we havent heard Allie's side yet 2)knowing how upset she has been makes it difficult to not think Seans different postings didnt get to her and I am just talking what is posted here! I still dont find it amusing. The test to see if it would be locked (why that is such a big deal I dont know either) could have been handled differently in my opinion. I, personally, am upset because I truly thought that Allie had more issues to deal with from this & My biased opinion of SeanDavis' humour makes it difficult to find humour even when its not with someone/something like Allie & Ry!

I think the 'morbid' humor is great. SD-you occasionally annoy the heck outta me, but you also make me laugh so hard I spit my albuterol out.

however-and yes I may be dumb as a hammer, but I didn't think it was a joke at first. It didn't seem like one. And, even if it was-yes I agree it was a weird one. Thw whole thing's weird.
Carry on!

Ahhh Christian, don't worry. I consider myself especially close to Allie, and I too assumed it was true when I first read it. Hehe. <img src="i/expressions/heart.gif" border="0">

Can we let this go already.  I like both Allie and SeanDavis
tremendously and everyone can have their opinions but I think both
Allie and SD are part of the back bone of this forum that keep me
interested.  If the thread made you mad etc. whatever.get over
it, they've explained it was a joke.  I would sure hate
for us to give the impression to either Allie or SeanDavis
that they are unappreciated over something so trivial.
 It was locked it's over can we move on?  How do we move
threads to the trash I think both of these should be moved.

Still don't find it funny, but apparently Sean and Allie did. I guess that is what counts. Yes, carry on.

Don't see that it disrespects Ry. Just an ill-fated joke that few seem to be finding funny. You never know if a joke is going to be a hit or a flop.

Emily, thanks for your comments. Now we should probably let Allie speak for herself. She may be a bit embarrassed, but I thnk she will come around and clear the air, so to speak. On another note, Is Allie the only Jewish person you have ever met? You seem a bit enthralled with her being of a differernt religious belief. It's okay, just interesting that you seem to make a big deal out of her being Jewish, but don't do that with anyone else. As in, so & so is Catholic or Baptist or whatever. Just interesting. I know a few Jewish famlies and don't really find them to be any different from my own. We celebrate some different holidays, but that's about it. Maybe I should take more of an interest.

She asked that I speak for her for now, is why I did. She'll be on to talk for herself before too long.

My best friend in kindergarten was Jewish. And my junior prom date was too. I'm sure there were others, those are the only two I can think of off the top of my head. I like Allie's Jewish philosophy better than a lot of Catholic/Christian ones I've heard. And we just have a little thing where I make fun of her for being a Jew because I'm German and then she makes fun of my German evil-ness. All light-hearted haha stuff.

That makes sense. The German part of it all. Thanks for giving a little background.

And I can be dumb as a hammer sometimes too.

Guys I think we need Mulder and Scully to jump into the Scooby Doo mystery mobile and get on this mystery STAT!


Here is what happened from my perception last night, since the drama gun seems to be running low on depleted uranium drama hollow points:

I had been drinking with my friends from out of town, and put them to bed (had a great time). Allie logs on yahoo, I say something silly to her and we get talking. We goof off some and small talk and make each other laugh (we make each other laugh a lot, because we both have a pretty cerebral/dark sense of humor. I say to her (yes it was my idea so get on my beanbag if you want to) "Hey wanna be goofy?" She says "Sure, what?" (this text isn't verbatim, but the point is the same). I say something along the line of "Hey let's make a post on the forum and have fun with it/each other and create some false silly drama". She laughed at it, and posted. I wasn't going to post right away, because to be honest I think it's funny to see who is a real judge of true character and who is not, and to see who all played smear the qu*er on Sean/Allie.


It was going to be harmless silly fun, where after a couple posts, her and I would have been blatant enough with our silly allegations towards each other (extremely out there and silly), those with a frontal lobe would have caught on and appreciated the post. Of course this is not what happened because Allie made the post at 5am and had to go to work, and I had to crash. We should have given it more thought, at the very least for the timing of it.

No, i'm not stalking Allie. I'm a happily engaged man. I just find her very cool and interesting, not to mention very pretty and intelligent with a great sense of humor. We both like to "get each others goat" so to speak. Granted I do it more than she does, just because i'm a habitual prankster type. But her and I get along fine.


Again this would have been pretty humorous if it would have been done at not such a late hour, so we both could have contributed to it. The banter between us would have been obvious and very funny, and made things not so non funny as it turned out to be due to being locked.

Get it? Cool.


As for the anon wanna be troll, I know who he is, and he has sand in his crack. On the old UK forum, when I first started posting about the OO use and my story, he was nothing but a jerk troll, with nothing friendly to say and has a mean case of nationalism going on. He's minor league.
