	Messages 1 2 3 4 5 6 7  Re: To googlebot by Spursfan on 11 August 2008 8:08pm   Actually - get your facts right - I WASN'T a 'founding member' !! :p But then I don't expect the truth from you, googlebot. I can't even remember e-mailing Sally - if if I did I am very sure it was nothing 'nasty' or 'viscious bile' as you put it. That isn't my style as anyone who knows me would tell you!! 'Print and be damned' as the saying goes!! [Personally I wouldn't believe aything you wrote on here anyway]. Katia - I appreciate what you have written. I knew it wasn't 'for me' but I was so sad that I hadn't been able to contribute, and sending my own wouldn't have been the same (and too late anyway!!). Are you writing from the point of view of someone who got to sign the thing? If so - put yourself in my shoes, having looking forward to this for so long. Now for goodness sake can we put this ****** subject to bed?!!   Re: To googlebot by googlebot on 11 August 2008 8:27pm   Only quoting you sweetheart. Now, funny how you claim you didn't email her, and yet you say she emailed you saying the card would be with you "tomorrow". Funny how the story changes to suit. Maybe Sal didn't email you about the card after all. Which is it? I'll get Sal's sister to screenshot and will publish. But I certainly won't be damned.   Re: To googlebot by Spursfan on 11 August 2008 8:56pm   No - she said 'tomorrow' on the palins site, this was not by email. I did NOT say she emailed me. Again - get your facts right!! Ok ok publish and be damned. I have nothing to hide. You have already proved yourself on two (at least) occasions to be a liar. :p   Re: To googlebot by johnnythemonkey on 12 August 2008 12:15am   I only made one relevant post on the original thread. I've pasted it below, as I'm still of the same opinion. Put this whole sorry episode to bed. The only one loving this is googlebot. I think Michael's message says it all. Take a bow Sally, for a great idea successfully accomplished. I did'nt ask to be part of PP, as there were already quite a few people from the UK including ( I think ) one from Scotland asking to take part. I think the fact that the card went round the globe was more fitting, rather than criss-crossing the UK ( or any other one location ). I hope that the postmortem can now be closed, as the proof of the pudding, so to speak, was in Michael's pleasure at receiving it. Come back into the fold Sally. I never got the chance to wind you up. ;) That was posted on the 14th May, before Sally passed away.   Re: To googlebot by tucsonmike on 12 August 2008 3:06am   Katia, dearie, you are SO RIGHT! I tried to be helpful. Nuff said.   Re: To googlebot by googlebot on 12 August 2008 1:16pm   Show me where I've lied. Oh no. You can't, can you?   Re: To googlebot by Spursfan on 12 August 2008 3:51pm   Where have you lied? Just a few examples: 1. "Respect? After seeing the state your comments and emails got both Sal and her family in, it's obvious you don't know the meaning of the word.". The only email I EVER sent Sally as far as I can remember, was one telling her my address for PP, as requested by her. So if anyone upset her family by email it wasn't me. 2. "Only quoting you sweetheart. Now, funny how you claim you didn't email her, and yet you say she emailed you saying the card would be with you "tomorrow"." How can you be 'quoting' me when I never said anything about this being via email? I asked her on the Project Palin thread actually, and she replied in like manner. 3. Although you have edited this out of this string (it as originally on page 1 at the bottom), you advised Katia to remember that I was a 'founding member' of Palins and therefore should be treated with respect, or some such poppycock. I am not, and have claimed to be, a founding member of this site. Enough examples for you? :P   Re: To googlebot by googlebot on 12 August 2008 5:15pm   No, actually. Big difference between "errors" and "lies". Me saying that the sky is green is a lie. I see no lie in any of my posts. So now you remember emails? Funny that. And yes, I'll say it. YOU upset Sal and her family. There. Do you deny all your nastiness then on the threads, because it all seems to be there still. Note how you've named yourself in all this. I never did. I've not edited anything.   Re: To googlebot by Spursfan on 12 August 2008 7:49pm   *Yawn* This is getting tediously boring. I emailed Sally once - at the very beginning of PP - in reply to her request for my address. No offence there, I think you'll find?!!! I would be SO interested to know, though, even after all this time, why she said in reply to my question about when PP would arrive at my house "tomorrow?" when PP was still somewhere between Australia and NZ (or vice versa)??? I can't say what time she posted this exactly as the timings on Palins are so wacky, but it says '8.24 p.m.' which even by the palin site clock means her postman would have already delivered on that day, (it would be at least late afternoon) so she would've KNOWN it was not getting to me 'tomorrow' or even the day after!! She stated on 11th May "The card took longer than expected to get from NZ to Oz and this cost us a month. As it happens, I got the card back on the Friday before the birthday [2nd May?], and as there was no post on the BH Monday, I had to go into London to deliver the card by hand." In my opinion I have not insulted Sally - if she took offence that was not my fault. If I felt let-down (which I did) why should I not say so? Do we now live in a society where freedom of speech is not allowed? Where only pats on the back are accepted? Finally, you state "Boring? Tell that to Sal's family, who had to read a load of what can only be described as vicious bile when they got access to her inbox.". If by her inbox you are referring to email, which I am assuming you are, then my conscience is completely clear.   Re: To googlebot by sighthound on 12 August 2008 8:41pm   I think johnny's post says it all and should be the last word here: "Take a bow Sally, for a great idea successfully accomplished." R.I.P., Sally. Have fun with the angels....   Messages 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
