Moderator's Corner

I've let the account through - lets see what she does.
All the best,

Ronald

The Anastasia character is exploding all over the place. She can hardly contain herself. random comments spread across threads. I give her another coupld of days before it all breaks down.

[FONT=Verdana]disturbing - but I can't help feeling sorry for her.
-----------------------------------------------

Ronni[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana]It's late and Im tired, but Im also very sorry.. for many things.. for losing
my temper.. for saying some of the things I said.. for calling you a w****r.. for the
trouble on the Forum now.[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana]Im sorry Ron. Im sorry for the way things turned out. Im sorry for the
post I sent to you and the Mods.. for calling Sano a whinger..
(I don't know how to contact him - please tell him Im sorry) Im sorry for the
things I said to you.. I was so upset that I cant actually remember all the details of
what I typed. I know it was way over the top and Im sorry.. I lost it completely.

Im sorry I have upset you.[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana]Im not going to lie.. there is no point.. cus I know that you
know.. [/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana]I have read all the threads.. seen whats happened.. understood how
"upset" you were about what happened with AndyS.. I knew
you had posted nothing more than a friendly post saying that AndyS was Widow Twankey..
I knew you hadn't had any other reason.. that your post
and the meaning had been misread and misunderstood.[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana]If I am right.. then you will understand that it is not
pleasant to read "my obituary". Even though I am humbled by the majority of
the comments in that thread and.. I understand why the poll to get Aliena
reinstated was started .. but it is unpleasant to be put to the vote.. to
perhaps have some vote negatively. to feel I will be burnt at the stake.. or
even if.. even if it ends with one vote more in a positive sense.. what
then?[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana]Im not a politician.. I didn't choose to be voted for.. Im
human Ron.. like you.. have a heart.. accept my apology. Please. [/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana]------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]The above was written late last night.. and is still the main
sentiment of this email.. I was so tired that I forgot to send it.. even forgot
to log off.[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana]This morning..[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana]Ronni..[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana]OK, now I've grovelled. (sincerely). lets get down to business.. how are we gonna sort this out? Hmm.. howz about.. if you want..
think about it first before you sack your first mate..[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana]How about you let Aliena come "home" to see the family
and you could post somat on the Death of Aliena thread.. perhaps "quoting"
Giovanni's post where he asks you how long Aliena has been banned for.. that
way you kill two birds with one stone.. hear me out.. just somat simple like..
[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana]"Slow down folks! Aliena has been banned BUT as its her first official offence.. its only for XXXXX.. if she has a dizzy fit again.. next
time will be death by firing squad in the Piazza". (How about a month?? sounds fair to me)[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana]End of story. :) Wot ya fink Il direttore? Could calm everything down in an instant and I wouldn't have to be a poor martyr
anymore. Anyway, who else is gonna do Campania on the Grand Tour
eh?[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana]Only you and I know its a FOREVER BAN (I think).. and you
know it could be done.. couldn't it? Please?[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana]Go on.. you know ya luv Aliena.. and she would try to change.. a bit. She told me she wouldn't even have a go at the shop
steward or his two new pets even though one of them savaged a really daft
blond the other night in the chat room.. I think her name had Russian
connections.. or was it Greek?.. no matter how hard they tried to goad..
your new member was very nice.. I reckon cus she is a bit thick. Of course..
cus you're the boss.. tis up to you.. but I really wanna come and see the
family.. and from what I hear..some of them would like to see the "prodigal
one" return.[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana]If ya say yes.. can I have me Sirena Tag back after 3 months if I behave? Go on.. I don't wanna be an Optician.. and you never
know.. this time next year.. cus I bin so good.. you might promote me to
Mod Manager and give me an ItalyMag tee shirt. :)[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana]But.. whatever you decide.. I am sorry. Honest to God I
am.[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana](Runs for her life)[/FONT]

*Sigh*

when all is said and done I must admit to actually liking Aliena. However her behaviour on the forum has been very divisive. Does anyone here think she would be able to reign herself in and behave if allowed back?

I think she might...she'd know she'd be 'on probation' for a good while. Given her post in response to Lavender (Medici) on the Expats thread provided by Cristina makes her outburst more understandable (though she could've done without the name-calling & swearing). If she'd posted something along the same lines here, a lot of hassle could've been avoided.

We know that Jig & Paula can be quite 'clever' in their posts ... and the same rules apply to all.

She's got a temper but she'd have to reign it in bigtime! What about a ban for a full month or 2? We couldn't be seen giving in too easily...

George would have to agree too, though, as she's often enough referred to him - and she'd have to stop that!

...keep in mind that all this while she is going around pretending to be Anastasia. Still I do pity her. Let's wait for George to reply as well.

Ronald[/QUOTE]

I know... suspected so too.... but maybe notaio's got a point saying this is like an extended family. I'm here every day too... sad eh?! ;)

If you allow her back onto the forum we might as well all walk away from the thing, I know I will, not a threat, just me being practical, you cannot give in to her and retain any sense of being mildly in control, hell, Ronald, you bent over backwards, sideways, swayed from side to side and she crapped on you, you cannot control her, she will return as a hero, leave her as a martyr, she is being supported by relatively few people, if they don't like it they can do the other thing.
Frankly I am amazed that you are even considering allowing her back, think what she has done, the promises she didn't keep, the filth she spouted....

good point george - I love the good cop/bad cop between Iona and you!

The fact is that I don't really get insulted by someone like Aliena - it is such a small thing at the end of the day. However, I think that letting her back in may be a mistake as I would have to immediately ban her because she now has multiple personalities roaming the forum

No - I think this time I am not even going to reply. Anyway there is Zia and Anastasia stirring trouble and if she doesn't come clean on that it means her intentions are always the wrong ones.

Which cop am I, Ronald?? ;)

I think these new logins are a bunch of people, not just Aliena in disguise. I'm surprised she'd allow them to endanger any goodwill there might have been towards her. Silly...

Agree with your comments on her intentions. Perhaps you should send a pm to Zia & Anastasia noting that they don't do anything at all to help Aliena's case - but rather turn opinion against her! And then wait & see how they behave afterwards... that would show any intentions!

Hmmm...

OK, another bet then, but I am willing to go up to the cost of a large gelato in the finest bar in Francavilla....
two parter,
Thomas Prozione and Anastasia are the one and only aliena, aunt sally is DaveJ, partner of trullimartinafranca, but the words being typed are definitely aliena's...
Ohh, Stephanie, you are definitelty the GOOD cop, but, I think, inside there may be a bad cop dying to get out...:) :eek:

LOL George... and I thought being bad cop was much more fun... ;)

We'll see how they all 'behave' once Ronald has sent PMs/emails...

George I think Scotland Yard missed a great detective there! IP addresses suggest that Sally Zia is Wishful Thinker though - not DaveJ. Thomas P-whatever is proably Aliena.

Nahhh, just nosey, anyhow my political background would rule me firmly out for Scotland Yard...;)

Hehe you're probably still on their list of 'most wanted'... ;)

[QUOTE=Iona]Hehe you're probably still on their list of 'most wanted'... ;)[/QUOTE]
LOL, they didn't stop listening to my telephone calls till May 1997 :D at least I think they stopped listening then LOL...

Hmmm technology has improved big time... you sure they're not listening anymore???

I'm sure they'd gain useful information on keeping dogs ... ;)
