"What kind of bait would you call that?" I don't get the point you're so obviously struggling to make here - unless of course, you're doing your usual thing of trying to create yet another problem? Nah, I didn't think so - that's not your style, is it Pilch? I'm off to buy a soap on a rope - I believe in recycling.
Funny how I never quite got around to giving you a nick name Annec! Should I create one for you so you don't feel as if you've been left out or that you're not an integral part of the shenanigans?
they'll be back! Have no doubt, they'll be back - under a new name and with new punctuation/spelling/typos/history in an attempt to fool some of the people some of the time, ingratiate themselves with the three wise morons or get me blamed for being them! Bring it on - nothing I love more than a bit of detective work.
"All the Calabrese do the Mambo like a crazy..check out Dean Martin or Rosemary Clooney!!New to all this ..think it's a great site ( or bel sito as it were)" Hi Spud - what is it your 'all new' to exactly? Is it the Italian language, Calabria, Mambo or this site? My money is on the Mambo. I'm going fishing now - is it true you can use a silly little Sprat to catch a great white Shark?
Knowing what the stages are - even if her stages are different - will help her to understand that she is not "going crazy". Grief is a process - so is recovery. I will try to find something more in Italian for you to pass on to her, but until I do, give her a hug from me.
are alive and kicking up shyte as usual - but I get the blame - as usual. That's OK! Annec, Gala, Angie (et al) - I am not "Flip" nor is "Flip" me. I am also not anyone else on this forum at this time - I am only "Esme". I do not have any other names or personas on this forum. I only use one name at a time - I always have done - and will always do so - I've only ever created a 'new name' when the need arises through being banned - usually because you three wise morons cant take what you dish out! Get over it! There is no way either I or Flip can actually prove this to you (only Admin can do that!) - but I think that after all these years you know "me" well enough to know that I am not lying about this, so please stop blaming and accusing others for being me - it just makes you look paranoid and stupid - which I know you are not - well, perhaps with exception of two out of the three morons.... To be clear, Flip is whoever Flip is (and I honestly do not know who Flip is - I wish I did) and Esme is "me". And just so you DO know who Beeryspice is - he was "Nardini" on the old forum. Getting the picture now? I also have no idea who Ms.Belsito is - but I have no doubt "she" is a fraud - a creation of someone here - planted only to create havoc. Wait and see. My money is on Hairylice. AndyT - Hairlylice was not referring to you - he was referring to another Andy - Andy is a friend and was the person I bought Uncovered from - another forum where Hairylice/Nardini was a very active member - until he combusted and had a nervous breakdown - turning into the stupid idiot he now has chosen to be here. Fillide - red wine o'clock seems very tempting these days - pour me a glass sweetie.
La Dolce.. this thread is not about me or who I am, however, I'll ask you to go back into any of the threads you refer to and find ONE SINGLE post where I start the antagonism. I agree, I go for the throat and take no prisoners with my retaliation, BUT only when 'attacked' first - just as I do in REAL life. Find that one single post that proves otherwise - if you can. You will not find it - not even in this thread - where I am resisting the temptation of retaliating towards Galas post - which everyone knows has a double entendre and who it is aimed towards - which is FINE, as long as those who dish it out first are able to take it in return without resorting to hiding behind the malaise of "doing offended" and baying for removal of the so called "offender". Many saw it happen time and time again - and spoke out about it - only to then be tarred with the same brush and declared to be part of "my gang". Starting to get a clearer picture now? Anyway... moving on, I don't know which other forum you refer to when writing about "Judecas" - so, I have not seen or read any of the pages and pages of "Italy hating" posts, however, s/he should still be allowed to remain here as s/he has as much right as any other to post her/his views here and not judged for what s/he posts elsewhere - that has nothing to do with anyone here - s/he should be allowed to post whatever s/he chooses about Italy, even negative things and even in a forum for "lovers of all things Italian". Maybe for Judecas, writing posts about "doom and gloom" is her/his ideal of love - who knows? And more importantly - who are we to judge her/him for holding that point of view? I guess the point I'm trying to make is that if no-one posts anything "contraversial" then the forum dies. The proof is here - and always has been - look at how this forum has suddenly become more active over the last few days and ask yourself why? It has nothing to do with the phases of the moon, the tide or me - but it certainly does have something to do with how certain groups react towads each other when they have opposing views - and that is not a bad thing because it revitalises the forum - it stimulates it and promotes more and more threads on more and more topics. The choice seems simple - have a polite, dull, boring forum that is DEAD - or - have one that is vibrant, interesting, contraversial and ALIVE! This new forum as it is now (with the exception of the last few days and a few other instances in the past) is nothing more than a deserted hamlet - the 'old' forum as it was, was a thriving COMMUNITY - where people lived and loved and fought and cared. Feel free to make your choice - accept each and every character as part of the whole - or huddle together in polite self congratulation and eventually rid yourselves of the future by making sure you are abandoned and left to die - alone and forgotten - just like so many delelict hilltop villages in Italy. I am (and so many others are) interested in what everyone else has to say - I know I am prepared to read and take your point of view on board - even if we don't agree - are you prepared to do the same? I think you are - and that's why I stay - there is hope for the future, for Italy - and for this forum.

I believe you've gotta have the right bait Pilch, but I believe ragworms can work just as well.

Ang (and Robort) you joined the old ItalyMag forum in August 2005 - just 5 months after 'me'. Doesn't time fly?

Seems I was right - I actually watched it happen right before my very eyes. Ms.Belsito is no more...
