I'd left the forum for about 6-9 months when the great flounce happened. I was a mod for a while prior to the 'great flounce' and I can say the 'voluntary' job was not nice at all, and some folk were down right abusive. I'd had enough of dealing with the damage they were causing generally, and the 'work' the mods had to do to clean up. Good riddance. Some of the worse keyboard warriors I've ever encountered - I do believe they are nice people in real life, but their internet persona did not show this.

She replied to a post of mine from way back in 2015 when living in San Francisco. I would imagine she's enjoying motherhood now.

There's a member still posting with the same spelling of the name.

Looks like she joined in 2007, so is likely the same person.

The funny think was that the character who did the mega flounce

Does it count as a mega flounce if you do all the twisty-knickered pouting on your own blog instead of the forum?

 

[theclaud]

some folk were down right abusive

Indeed.

That‘s definitely a sign of a fragile ego. I’ve always liked the idea of people going into that big brother house, but the cameras never roll, and no one else in the world is aware of them. So they act up and have big arguments thinking they have an audience and that it’ll help them win. But no one is watching and no one cares. Bit like the flouncers blog that no one visits.

Oh, undeniably. But it's fun to watch.

They flounce. they keep checking the forum anyway to check on the old 'shame they've gone' posts. Then just can't help themselves and come back.

So much learning and knowledge lost to the world.
A tragedy.
Leaving us miserable beings to flounder in the dark ages.
Until the second coming.

I'd heard - and I do not know the truth of this, although the source is completely honest and usually reliable - that after flouncing from here this particular flouncer had some kind of legal run in with a local official and ended up being fined a 5 figure sum in Court

I don't think flouncing and misquoting GDPR got them out of that one.

All totally untrue. I think you should report yourself to the Mods for posting fake news.

Sorry, I was only trying to Make Flouncing Great Again!

How about having another flounce? I'm quite happy to ghost write the ensuing autobiography for you

 

[Drago]

I'm hoping to be impeached before my next flounce, but mark my words young Rocky - i'll be back in 2024.
