Oooh... burned by Orald. Since we all know there has only been one cool insect. Ever.

There will be no funeral service.

The departed's water will be uncerimoniously poured on the sand.

Dear, dear, dear, what is poor 'Paysha to do now that she can't post here?

Post at FED2K!

IN response to this

Since a month or around, there seem to be a migration of a bunch of you to other forums, including FED2k. Not that I'm complaining
It seems quite sudden. Is all that since the Spanish movie episode?

she posted

It's a long story... and not one I want to get into here and now. Suffice to say, it's the second migration of people to other Dune forums within a year, for reasons I don't mind explaining via PM or email, but to do so on the boards would not be a good idea.

I saw that. I love that her message against us has now gone underground. What a total fucking tool.

SandChigger · Post by **SandChigger** » 27 May 2008 12:00

Yes, I know you did. And I like your new reply, too.

Two people over there now have asked her to "spill the beans". I'm not sure my point was taken:

The reason for not "spilling it" in public is easy: unless the content is reposted by the recepient for confirmation or discussion, in PMs and emails you have only the POV of the sender.

One reason why I prefer having a flame room to conducting arguments by PM or email. Everything's there in the open and more or less a matter of public record.

Unless one of the disputants is a board admin and closes the board down, of course.

Post by **Omphalos** » 27 May 2008 12:15

Especially that place. It seems the admin is ready to believe whatever she says, especially about you.

SandChigger · Post by **SandChigger** » 27 May 2008 12:25

Oh? What have I missed?

Hmmm...

I don't see any new trolls aimed my way. You referring to the "official site down" thread where Dunenewt [jokingly] mentioned my name as a potential cracker after she wrote someone broke it? Phphphlth.

Those guys are young and into their games and the official site and obviously don't know or care about what went on over at 'Keen. She's playing hard at the "I'm nice, I can contribute" game right now. Give them time to get to know her better. (I suspect she's pinged a few BS meters already.)

I'm not terribly bothered either way.

What website is this? Might take a gander meself.

orald · Post by **orald** » 27 May 2008 13:47

I presume they're talking about FED2K, as they mentioned it a few posts up, quoting her.

Pardot Kynes · Post by **Pardot Kynes** » 27 May 2008 13:54

Linky?

orald · Post by **orald** » 27 May 2008 14:04

Uh, just google it?

http://forum.dune2k.com/

Umm, something I just saw on their news(?) page and haven't heard Chig tell as of yet:

FED2k wrote:According to this article at JewishJournal.com, Peter Berg has been in talks to film Dune in Israel next year. Bryon Merritt (Frank Herbert's Grandson, and administrator of the official Dune message boards) posted the link to the article, so I'm guessing there is some truth behind it. This could mean we will get the Arabic/Middle Eastern Fremen that people have been asking for, and perhaps a Greek House Atreides, as it is not far away.

To quote from said article(2 last line):

Dayan recalled a recent conversation with director Peter Berg, set to helm the desert sci-fi saga, "Dune," already heralded as the next "Lord of the Rings" box office franchise.

"I told Peter that Israel would be an ideal location and that we hope to see him there next year," Dayan said.

Yep

Do they really give a shit what happened over at that site? If Hyppo wants to pretend to be normal and slither her way into an admin post and wreck their site, let her. Poisonous snake, they won't know what's hit them until it's too late. As long as she keeps her odious presence away from here, that's enough.

I received a couple of PMs from Dunenewt, asking about directions in London. I don't think he liked it much, he's a bit of a country boy. I looked at Dune2K and it seems OK, but I was a bit put off by the dreary ramblings in their politics and religion thread.

Pardot Kynes · Post by **Pardot Kynes** » 27 May 2008 14:25

Its too close minded. And the skin looks like the tower of Orthanc.

chanilover · Post by **chanilover** » 27 May 2008 14:27

Yeah, and maybe I was missing something, but it seems utterly devoid of humour.

orald · Post by **orald** » 27 May 2008 14:30

What about that article? Is there a chance my dear Kevin and Brian will come to Israel to supervise it? Could it be I'll be able to meet them personally? Can you guys help me design a time-delayed IED?

Oops, how did that last one get in there?

I saw that article, Orald, but since I'm about as uninterested in this movie as is probably possible, hadn't commented on it. (I do think the favorable news about your movie industry is cool, though.

)

As for FED2K, sorry, but I'm not terribly impressed, especially after Dunenewt posted something about their vast membership of knowledgable Dune fans there.

But Andrew (I believe it was) threatening a thread lock-down and giving me a slap down was down right nostalgic.

I felt like I was back on 'Keen again.

Sorry to double post, but just found this in the Inbox:

Date: Tue, 27 May 2008 15:55:01 -0400 (EDT)
From: Sxxxx Sxxxxxx <xxxxxxxxx>
Subject: Coward.
To: sandchigger@mac.com

How's that for a subject line, considering you didn't like the last one?

I really do consider you a coward for not allowing me to reply to others on your blog. That makes what you said at FED2k more than hypocritical, doesn't it?

You may rest assured that I will tell people there nothing but the truth, and nothing I can't prove.

Pity you can't make the same claim.

chanilover · Post by **chanilover** » 27 May 2008 16:52

I am surprised. I really didn't think her life was so empty of happiness that she would get a cheap thrill out of spouting off on another site.

That liar wouldn't know the truth if it bit her on the arse. Again, she wasn't interested in defending herself on SC's blog or trying to justify her lies. Each time I gave her the opportunity she dodged it. Pathetic.

Will someone please remove that broken record and put on some Zeppelin?

Zeppelin rules!

It'll be funny if Edric shares my email with her and she gets to see my version of events.
