Odessa Posted March 19, 2019 Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 Lovely, welcoming website where long time (paying) users get called w*nkers by the owner for making a joke about which year Noel Gallagher is playing. Jesus. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry, but this is bang out of order. Phoenix Girl isn't one of those who have been trolling site, as you know I know the ones who did from previous private messages we've exchanged. You've just insulted someone who uses their hard earned cash to help keep this site running because they called you out on something you got incorrect, as a joke. Not only that, but you haven't had the nous to apologise which is incredibly poor on your part. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Martini Police Posted March 19, 2019 Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 3 hours ago, eFestivals said: that's an interpretation, which made it different to what it literally* said. (*and that's 'literally' being used literally, for once ) It's true that it's an interpretation, and the original message wasn't as clear as it could have been. However, you can't always take part of a quote and be certain it works in isolation and doing that ultimately made that piece of info incorrect (a deliberate tactic used for click-bait journalism of course). Phoenix Girl's joke was alluding to the fact there was more to it than just reading a small bit and taking it literally ('clever people') and she certainly didn't deserve to get insulted like that in response, especially as it seems very unlikely she has been trolling the site (if that's what you're referring to, I'm assuming for the reaction of others that it was). You're now doubling-down to the extent that you're insulting a user for even joking about you getting it wrong, despite the info we have (Noel G dates and omission from poster) suggesting that it did in fact mean 2020. I'm sure we all appreciate the info you get for us, there's nothing wrong with admitting you got this one wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hey, you got off consequence-free. I stopped doing that a while ago. I wasn't taking part when it 'peaked', so to speak, and despite what others may believe, it wasn't my intention to spoil the enjoyment for others on here. I was never actually abusive to anyone on here in all that time as well. There is no way I got off consequence free either, I don't get taken seriously by a lot of regular posters on here nowadays as a result of what went on then which is fair enough and I even said to you that I would accept a ban for it as I broke forum rules.

Apart from Instagram (with content I can control) eFests is the only social media I participate in. Friday was difficult enough with all the negativity surrounding it.
