I got a warning from Howard today. It will expire on May 22. Someone else was talking "boards on boards" and I agreed with what they were posting. I had to acknowledge my warning so I could post again. Lol.

I'm now going to have to step away from the RHOA thread because the majority of those people are obsessed with posting about grammar. There are dozens and dozens of posts about how Gregg speaks. I guess I'm not understanding if NeNe and Phaedra make you so angry, then why continue watching the show? It's not even a love to hate vibe. It's pure hatred and obsession. They hate everyone except Kenya and a little bit of Kandi. That's it.

It's funny because I used to watch BBW Miami but I stopped after Tami's disgusting tirade against Kesha when they were on vacation. I couldn't stomach the show knowing that no matter what, Tami would never get put in her place. She was a protected cast member who would never suffer the consequences of her actions. I didn't want to see her rewarded with business opportunities and fame from the show so I simply stopped watching. I stopped reading about the show. I just moved on because it no longer interested me.

jollyrancher, I got a warning from Howard too on the RHOA board because I made a snarky comment about all the stupid comments on grammar. I'm like, "seriously Howard, the site will close in 11 days and you're still giving warnings?" Just plain stupid.

They're just going to ban everyone so that when the site closes there are no posters left anyway.

Seriously. It's like threatening to make someone walk the plank on the Titanic.

Ha! I just registered at previously.tv mainly because I knew they had a Sherri Shepherd thread and that Howard had banned Sherri talk on the View thread at TWOP. I feel so...dirty.

So is anybody planning a spectacular flame-out over there? Copy and paste if you do! I always miss that stuff. Howard already banned me for saying that I watch a show because I either like it, or I love to hate it for the fun and the snark. Why watch something that is PAINFUL? I can't stand when they talk about how shows desperately need to be cancelled, yet they won't turn it off (hi Kelly Ripa haters)!

Howard is going to have ban withdrawal when this is over. She's just letting it rip left and right. I hope she's got some pills ready for the big ending (to calm her down - not make it HER ending as well!).

I would if I actually cared about the place anymore.

Guys. What the shit? I was reading the True Detective recaps and laughing. For a legitimately hour long show, the recaps were, like, 8-12 pages long. Normal. (Written by "Jacob Clifton." Surely not that Jacob.) After spotting an 18 page long recap, I thought, "No, no. No." Then came the imaginary scene that went on for two pages between an "angel" and a "demon." I finally went to the bio page and, yep, it's crazy ass Jacob. I had no idea he could be amusing. Huh.

Latest Howard fuckery - "Team (fill in the blank)" is boards on boards! They're not teaming up with other posters. I believe it was the Tori and Dean thread, and someone was on the team of the children. Yeah, that's really something to censor.

Have they killed the site early? I clicked over this morning (I need to obsess over Mad Men) and got a "this community is unavailable" message.

[americanchai]

I just checked - they're up.

Damn, I did get banned from TWOP. One of the deannuts created a sock, attacked another poster by name, I posted that the attackee had every right to not think that Jensen Ackles is the "Greatest Thespian Evah!!11!!". Now I'm banned but the sock is still posting.
