Another day, another day of inanity at PFA

Let's see ... are they still name calling? Why yes! Still a group of oh so shocked (add descriptor here) clutching their pearls because people are frequenting a purse forum? Spending money on expensive bags? Shock! Horror! We especially loved the junior legal beagles and their skewed interpretation of sexual harassment. We're glad we aren't your workmates.

Still spewing racist and homophobic hatred? Still refusing to take it off your site? Sadly, yes. Still trying to get us to print their spew in comments here? Check - ain't gonna happen, though. We don't stoop to your level, Priscilla Wadsworth and Michael Tonello. And plastic mascot Donna Lehtonen. Bullies one and all.

It isn't fair comment or "parody". It's just a joke. A sad, bad one, made repeatedly by sad, mad people.

Can we suggest some new year's resolutions? Maybe turn your time to something truly productive (no, that doesn't include rummaging through other people's internet posts, though we know with your limited skills that may be all you're capable of). Something that would add some good into the world instead of envying others and hurling hatred?

But we're sure that's never crossed your minds. And if it did, it probably wouldn't find any room in there to take hold.

This.

Thanks to the commenter who posted the following; couldn't agree more:

"Most people who actively contribute to tpfa have found that place through their own experiences," I believe that most active contributors flocked to PFA because they have been allowed to say whatever they want no matter how vile or untrue. Priscilla does seem to have cracked down on the personal attacks. Before that, most of the posts were vicious attacks agains individual tPF members whose only crime was to post a reveal or share some personal story about something that they were happy about, worried about, etc. Since the posters were prevented from posting their rants on tPF, they turned to PFA as a forum for launching vile attacks on others. Now that those appear to be weeded out and not published, I'm not really sure how many "active" PFA posters there really are. Now people whine about having to click on ads - it's easy - don't click. People whine about the mods being mean to them - really? Maybe the mods were not allowing them to post their vile rants. People whine about Vlad making money. It is a business - if you don't like it don't patronize it. tPF needs income to offer the features it does - otherwise it would be a featureless blog like PFA or PFAE. People have made allegations that Vlad profits from fraud perpetrated by scammers on tPF. Where is the proof? And don't trot out the Japster dead horse. Yes she scammed people - but there is no evidence that anyone on tPF aided her or profited from it. People claim that somehow Vlad benefits from RAOK. How on earth is this supposed to work? Do those members who receive gifts send Vlad some cut - half of their chocolates? Or do people think all of the ROAK packages are going direct to Vlad and he - ??? sells it all on eBAY? Most of the claptrap on PFA is hysterical conspiracy-theory nonsense.
