Lee & Zo,
It is ironic isn't it, I honestly expected this thread to get ignored as well
I am glad it's been discussed, not sure it'll change anything but at least we've all got something off of our chests.

I genuinely try my hardest to help as many people as i can, be as genuine as i can, and do the best i can.
I raise money for charity, i work 10/11 hour days, and i also try to keep a lot of the shit off of this site.
And seeing peoples opinions about me like this really does make me question why.

Yep, plus she has an awesome personality and a wicked sense of humour! Ask anyone who's ever met her. Which is why I really genuinely cannot understand why she gets the grief she does at times.
People may only have a dig in jest, but she takes it to heart!
And if anyone classes that as arse licking, go fuck yaself....

I've not read this thread since I last posted on it, so thought I'd see why it's gone of seven pages....
Are you lot for real? You're digging out Maria for being liked? How many of you have actually met her? If you had you'd know why people like her, and it has nothing to do with her being physically attractive or not! (what the fuck physical attraction has to do with anything when it's on an INTERNET FORUM I don't know!)
I've met Maria, a few times. And the reason she is liked is she is one of THE nicest people you will ever meet. She barely has a bad word to say about anyone, has the most enormous heart, is so outgoing and bubbly, always ready to offer a hand to those that need it.
I spent a few days with her last week when she was moving, as I had nothing to do and I knew she needed some help. Some others off here also helped out (Mal for one) It has NOTHING to do with her appearance, and all to do with the fact to couple times I met her prior she has been such a nice person to me. She has given me time to have a little moan about my life on the phone to her, and is always generous.
She donates her time to this forum for FREE for all you folk, and to thank her, you slate her? In jest or not, thats not nice! All the mods her donate their time free of charge to try and keep this forum free of spam and keep it in order, and NO ONE ever thanks them.
Now I'm expecting to be called an arse licker because I am defending Maria - go ahead, see if I give a fuck. But be advised that I am not defending for any other reason than because she's my friend. Not a "friend" on an internet forum, but someone - one of the few that I mentioned in earlier posts on this thread - that I consider a real friend. Like I said, I've met many people from here, and made loads of mates, but only a few of them do I consider real friends. And Maria, and MAL, I include in that select few.
To the twat slating MAL - I take it you've never met him? Cos if you had you'd know he is as sound a guy as you'll ever meet. Enormously generous and a true gent. You don't meet many people as genuine as him these days.
And finally, to those that like to harp on about "lap dogs" "stalkers" and Maria having a "male following" - why are you not saying the same thing about blokes on here? Why are you only saying these things because she is a woman? There are male members of this forum that are arse licked SO MUCH more than she is, guys that people WORSHIP on this forum, but because they are guys, they just have a "following" and not a "male following" ?!?!?! WTF is that about? Would their hangers on not be classed as "lap dogs" because they are male?
Fucking double standards pisses me off! It's not the cliquiness on here that fucks me off, it's the childish bickering, backstabbing, bitching and plain jealousy that fucks me off.
Christ, get the fuck over it, it's the fucking internet.

............
I've been on the site from virtually day one, and i'm not in any clique even though i've met a few of the users over the years......less cliquey now than it has been and even if it is so what?
Cliques exist in the real world too, and people are allowed to have friends, and as theres a real world beyond internet land its conceivable that some of those friends with like minded interests 'may' end up using the same website.
For those moaning of cliques get a life outside of the internet and you'll see it really doesnt matter

I knew this would happen which is why I had refrained from posting anything personal on this thread before, nor mentioned any names. I knew half would end up labeling me a follower or lap dog, and others would get some kind of complex because I cite Maria as a friend, because they've known her longer than me What the fuck does that have to do with anything? I've only met Erik and Taryn 3 times, yet they are actual friends of mine, so what does how many times or length of time known have anything to do with anything?
At the end of the day, who gives a fuck? You either friends of you're not, so what does it matter if some are or some aren't? I believe Maria and I are friends, and it has nothing to do with her "being fit" or "being popular" on here, it has to do with the type of person she is and nothing else. So if anyone has a problem with that, then that's YOUR problem, so YOU deal with it.
Funny how no-one is making the same fuss about how I also consider Mal a friend?
Is it because he's male, so it's okay for us to be friends, but because Maria's female I must have an ulterior motive?
Pathetic.
I'll bow out now, I have no more interest in contributing to this thread. I tried to help in the beginning, tried to open some eyes to seeing things in different lights, but it's a waste of time, as too many obviously believe they are the "poor disadvantaged minority that no-one likes and don't kick it with the in-crowed" FUCK OFF, DO ME A FAVOUR! As if I'm in an in-crowed, I'm so unpopular I make Phil look like a social co-ordinator!

Have you changed your clutch cable? Mine dried out before and stuck when the clutch pedal was released, so the clutch wasn't fully engaged and therefore slipped.

I don't think it ever was about one person, but several people felt it necessary to bring one person's name/status into it, and it evolved.
I'm not doing a good job of bowing out of this thread am I

Too many posts.. I need a life!!
Maria is one of the most genuine people you'll ever meet...nothing too special there because so am I but that doesn't make me any less of a complete bastard.
The amazing thing about Maria is that she is so genuine AND very warm, big hearted, generous and forgiving.
And as far as arselicking goes: I gladly would. No really, I would.
As for the internetfight between Benni and Chip:
Perhaps PM's would have been better in this instance.

i find myself like this.
I hardly know members off here, hardly know any in person, i know a few around my area ect, but not alot.
the best way is not to worry, there is no passionford crew, you just gotta enjoy the forums and not take anything to heart.
