Witch hunt or not (which hunt?) I still maintain BD should make the call. If she wants this tracked down then we should do all we can to help her. If she doesn't then we should respect her wishes and drop it.

Oh is that the password. No wonder Pete didn't get back to me.

Not to labour the point, but I'm going to go out on a limb here and say this is someone relatively new, ie wasn't here for last year's Lovedump, and so would not be able to remember the password. I say this because nothing like this happened last year, and if that person was here then there's no reason to assume that that year would have been any different. It's the first time we've had anything like this, ergo, this is a first timer at this.

That being said, anyone who is going to make such nasty remarks would I think be unprepared to wait, and once they got the pw they would go ahead and write their message of hate, so I think again it's fair to assume that the interval between the time they got the password and the time they sent their anti-love dump must be quite short, perhaps only minutes.

Therefore, it should be possible to zero in on the arsehole who upset one of our favourite ladies. I rest my case. QED.

Thanks to everyone who dumped on me, I love you two (unless they were sent by the same person) too.

And Trollheart, assholes are capable of laying dormant, you know.

^lots of assumptions there, TH. Anybody could have got the password from any of the many members who know it. Also, I vaguely remember the password being broadcast in the plug.dj chat a while back. There's really no way to determine the culprit with the method that you've suggested.

I dunno what the big mystery is. It's perfectly obvious to me.

Dark Horse Theory: This is all leading up to MusicBanter Clue!

^ Hell yes! When can we start the killing

Someone did send a nasty message last year though.

The lovedump's been very kind to me this year.
Thanks guys :)

I vaguely remember someone saying the same thing before a while back.
The person who did it owes Mel an apology. And if they don't I hope the person gets caught and banned or has a ban extension. I think we should move on - dftt I think that kind of person feeds off all this speculation and whodunnit stuff.

You're probably all right. I didn't know about last year. Dammit. I just hoep whoever did it gets hit by a big truck --- of bad karma.

Mel, you know we all love and respect you so I guess it's like what Vanilla says, "let the haters hate": they ain't got nothing else in their lives.

So I should take off the deerstalker now, and put away my pipe? Where's my bubble mixture? ;)

all covered

I got one of the bad ones too. I appreciate it, keep em coming. LOL

****in Kiddin? You? I am being serious you got one of the bad ones?

Whoever you are when I find you, I WILL PUNISH YOU

Contrary to others I find it rather hilarious. I don't find it funny that BD got offended but i've never been one to give even a single **** about anything.

I know you find it funny, for you to find it offensive would be completely out of character for you....Seriously... **** that **** man, why be an *******? It's one thing to stick up for yourself if you are being attacked, to defend, or to stick to your guns...But to be rude, and cruel is completely different...

Oh and Fred don't deny me the chance to punish the wicked for their sins. Please and Thank You...

I'll be alright Roxy. The first few days were hard. :baseball:

Did'ja call a doctor? You're s' posed to seek medical attention after only 4 hours...

I'm a wait it out kinda guy.

Most people are taking the bad ones in stride and laughing it off.

I think BD is the only person that took it seriously.

Well it was a rather rude message.

Yeah, it's easy to say "laugh it off" when it's not you that's being insulted...
I personally don't find it funny in the least. Nor clever. I know you're not saying that, but I don't think it should be laughed off really.

It is easy to laugh off for me even when I am insulted.

I got a bad one as well but I don't care about it.

I'm not saying she shouldn't be offended it's her prerogative if she chooses to be offended by an insult or not.

^ My feelings in regards to how I would react if it was me who was sent an insulting Love Dump.

MY HAIRCUT IS NOT THAT BAD, YOU GUYS.


Right?

I don't think the point of the problem is response, rather it deters the concept of the love machine...

Your hair is the sex and everybody wants to **** it gently.

I wasn't sure for a sec, but it turned out to be yarn art on the wall behind you.

I think anonymous hate mail is pretty offensive, especially in this case when it is masquerading as something friendly. Who does not open a Love Machine message with a little tingle of anticipation? To then receive an insult is like finding a bug in your food - a complete reversal of your expectations. So I fully support BD who is a well-liked contributor here and doesn`t deserve to be treated in such a disrespectul way.

For the guys who just laugh it off, I`d like to say, Well done - you`ve found a way to minimize the sting in these messages. Unfortunately, the expression "laugh it off" might give the impression that sending anonymous hate messages is humorous in some way, but it isn`t - it`s really creepy and always has been.

nope it was her and im glad she admitted her crush but unfortunately im not attracted to agender pansexuals so it would never work out


i agree with urban, ban the person who is bein mean. its not me btw.


feel free to send me hate mail

Okay, but some people aren't as stoic and thick-skinned as you and words dig deeper than they can allow. There's not really anything that can change the fact that the message BD received was extremely out-of-line and the person that sent it is a complete dickhole, no matter what their intention was. An individual's perception of it doesn't change the fact that it was a disgusting message.

Her's is better then yours....I am just throwing that out there she doesn't have to apply SPF 4,000.00 to it...

Okay, well let's move on. If there is anymore negative messages please let the mods know and we will work out who it is and perhaps change the password.

I only got one this year, and I was a complete dick to them. I hate myself.

Can't Paul do it through mental telepathy?

Please don't associate my name with that........person.

I'd appreciate it

he usually reserves his hate mail for random plug outbursts but he can deff feel free to try telepathy from now on

Yes, well "most people" haven't gotten a message saying they're a horrible person, to go fuck themselves, and that their boyfriend is only with them because he must be desperate and stupid. I'd like to see you get a message like that and then "laugh it off". I am pretty sure I am depressed on top of my anxiety and panic attacks, and right now I'm not in the mood to even consider that the message was sent in jest. I agree with Ped when she said it's too bad that this is being abused. Maybe only by one or two people, but it's still too bad.

At this point, it doesn't matter who the culprit is. I'm beyond the point of caring. I know that not everyone here is my friend. I just want this person to know that the message was not appreciated, no matter how it was supposed to be interpreted (I doubt it was a joke though). It was neither appropriate nor was it funny to me.

To the other 3 people who sent me nice messages, thank you. They are much appreciated.

I know that I am not a horrible person so petty insults about my character won't bother me. Sorry to hear that you are going through the depression and anxiety and it makes sense why you would be hyper sensitive to any sort of negativity.
