With all respect buzzy110, are you well? Cookessentials is one of the most helpful, and respectful people in this forum, and you complain to TM? You are so out of line that this is scarcely credible. Edited for typo.

urbanproject I am not going to ask you to quote posts where I have been rude and negative without provocation because this thread isn't about recriminations and accusations.
It is about peace and starting anew. I have offered an olive branch and given you a strategy for 'getting back at me personally'. Take it if you feel so strongly that you would like to see my informative threads eradicated completely.

Given that you are responding to virtually every response perhaps you should take your own advice. I don't wish to sound unpleasant but this thread just keeps getting stranger and stranger

You are so right martine5. I will stop responding. It seems I cannot hold back the negativity that permeates matters around me so perhaps I should stop for a bit.
Be happy everyone. Life's too short for a constant outpouring of negativity. Take your revenge and vote.

OH PULEEEESE. . ! ! ! ! This abysmal cry for attention and sympathy... pathetic. . Your complaint re Cooky is SOOOO unwarranted. . Is that how you offer an olive branch or is it a sign of your real vindictiveness and character...

I have had a serve from buzzy myself for a thread I started - it was my first time posting a thread and I did not expect abuse from anyone - it was innocent enough but Buzzy seems to be a 'food snob' and thinks everyone else on here is daft and hasnt got anything worth while to post! !

I am taking the Olive Branch and voting off all the Nasties... .
One of my families sayings (amongst other cliches) is "Treat others like you would like to be treated". That is why I do my utmost to behave resepctfully to others... hoping they do the same in return.
Like Pam (Cookessentials) I do not hate you... far from it... . but I do hate (with a passion) the tone of some of the threads. Thats why I gained my title of "Pink & Fluffy" as I really do feel there is a way to disagree and offer your opinion in a respectful way.
I defend others right to their opinions... but condemn those that attack people personally and are unkind in their delivery... Its not calling a spade a spade ... straight talking... its just plain rude.
So lets all be respectful... . and let this end.

I, too, have had a rebuke from Buzzy110 for correcting some of his/her information.
Buzzy110's information isn't even correct.

I thought exactly the same thing. Cookessentials has been one of the really helpful and generous recipe providers in the recipe forum. This thread is just adding fire to the hatefeast.

buzzy, your so called apology is actually just some more of the same. More saracasm, more condescension. Is that the only way you are able to interact with people who don't think exactly the same way as you, or don't fawn over you and your ideas? Do you think that it's so subtle people don't realise it, or do you think it's so clever that your rapier wit will carry you over any offence caused?
Really, this isn't about an apology or an olive branch, is it, it's adding fuel to the fire, because you really, really enjoy all the furore and attention, not to mention the opportunity to play the martyred victim.

I love that thread, and you and uliare a great source of inspiration. Please don't go. Let them eat cake and asparteme etc etc if thats what they want. You know the saying that you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink. I won't be voting any of your threads off sorry. I might try and copy them now just in case!

excuse me buzzy, are you inferring that I have telephoned uli? if so, please say so. I have better things to do with my time than ring people - I do not know her, nor would I know her telephone number... your attitude is ridiculous. I would hazard a guess that there are a LARGE number of people who have had a run in with uli, so please do NOT start accusing me of anythinbg. I have no problem with someone calling me by my name and I do not see it disrespectful to call uli her name. Thanks so much for contacting Tradem, but I have not heard from them... perhaps they should be looking at YOUR behaviour which is what started this ruckus in the first place. To say my behaviour is threatening-are you kidding? If you choose to quote me and make accusations, then i will answer you as I have in the past. To come here and appologise and then behave like this? ... absolutely pathetic.

Hmmm ... when I joined TM it is clearly stated that I must be over 18 years old, thereby declaring me to be an "adult" because they wouldn't have children on here.
So I now ask myself WHY is that with an adults only site there is clearly childish playground backbiting and sniping carrying on? Ladies and Gentlemen ~ please! pick up your game and carry on like the mature people that you are

cooks. I am not going to answer the other posts but I will answer you. I would never think you rang anyone. However, constant use of uli's real name, even after you were aware that someone had used that name to track her down, showed a very callous disregard.
I'm pretty sure they'll ignore the complaint as they specifically say they will not get involved so do stop worrying.
I have asked that you not be disabled, merely that you be reminded that that people have a right to privacy, however, tenuous it is on here. And I only did it as you seemed to think that continuing with unacceptable behaviour was OK because you were backed by the pack.

I was unaware of ANYTHING buzzy. Many of us on Trademe have our own names on our profile- it is no secret. I see nothing wrong with calling someone by their name - there are plenty here who call me by my name and I take no offence. What i take offence to is you then putting it all through one of your other threads that I deliberately "abused" both you and uli-not quite sure how much lower you can stoop to be honest. For someone whose behaviour for the last few months has been nothing but dispicable, i think you have a cheek even mentioning it, never mind trotting off to trademe. I am not worried if you have reported it to Trademe, however, I would suggest you do get your facts straight. If uli does not wish to have her privacy intruded upon, perhaps she should remove her name from her profile . . just to save any confusion on your part.

I see no useful purpose in recriminations and accusations Hoping for a cessation of hostilities was also rather naive. I wasn't asking for friendship, pity or false bonhomie. All I wanted was to end the bickering and descent into what can only be described as bullying behaviour. I shouldered my share of the blame but it seemed that wasn't enough. I was expected to shoulder everyone else' share.
Most of you have not been blameless. Often my negative posts have been in response to unwarranted attacks made at me personally.
For instance. In the Wholefoods thread, refresh your memories and see who exactly started all the mudslinging. Take a look at the increasingly bizarre postings in that thread. They didn't start with me. And yet I'm not here to recriminate or berate. I came here to ask you all, using a bunch of cliches, to let it go, raise the bar, lift your game and behave like the decent people you claim to be and to offer you an olive branch.
However it seems I am the only one who wants this. Good evening to you all.
