) But seriously I don't think mis-signing was ever considered an issue as Gater's are supposed to be above reproach. I've only ever received one ding and i don't think I've ever given one. I know I haven't on the shipper thread. I mean, it's all about love! I don't think anyone should get dinged for anything on the shipper thread. This whole coversation is ridiculous. I mean, it's crazy this should even happen here!!! I say we all give Bev green jello. And drop the whole thing. It's about Sam and Jack sharing the love. So lets share it. Jello for everyone!!!!

I agree. I been posting on this thread since August and did not have a ding until last week. Now I been dinged 5 times in the past 7 days. I have decided to ignore it. Bev, I am sorry you got dinged. It was a very cowardly act.

Hey, let me add my two cents to Bev and to SueKay and all the others that had been dinged by the "Mad Dinger"-I hope that our moderator will be able to communicate that it is not acceptable and then we can go back to doing what we do best-and that is dish about sam and jack.

hey there peoples

sorry to hear things arent all happy at the moment!
so no one is signing their name when they ding someone?
well that just seems like they are weak to me....
and should prbly confront those they disagree with in a PM or something!
it would be far more respectful!

well...i ll prbly get "dinged" for this..but anywho!

lurve and BIG SHIPPER HUGS ALL ROUND!

I wish I could say I'm surprised that someone has turned malicious with the dinging - but it has been getting out of hand lately. I know some of it has been genuine shippers unhappy because of off topic stuff and other things, and to be fair, some of those dings have been deserved. I've had my fair share over the last few days, I know 2 have been warranted and well within the guidelines for bad repping because they have given me a reason, and those I accept.

However, the other dings with no comments, I'm just going to ignore. So I'm not going to post when I've been dinged, and I'm gonna try not to comment on anyone else getting dinged either (that's gonna be hard cos I've got a huge sense of loyalty and a huge problem with injustice - not to mention the big mouth

). And if I want to take exception to someone's post, I'll rant and rave off post, or send em a green with a stern message.

I'm just gonna send out lots of

(((((((((((((((((((((hugs to my shipper family)))))))))))))))))))))

and lots of green jello.

Oh, and Bev? Just to reiterate...

MY LORD, PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME!

I PM'd Bev with essentially this same message but after giving more thought to your post, I feel that all shippers need to keep the following in mind... I'm going to put my rant into spoiler tags in case someone inadvertently reads and becomes offended.

NOOOOO!!
What is going on!??! I don't want the shipper family to fall apart! Please! We've stuck together for so long, sticking together through everything and now after we've had a lovely shippy ending to Season 8 and an ALMOST confirmation that Sam and Jack are together......WE FALL APART!!

I haven't been here a lot for the past few weeks so I don't know what other things have been going on but please lets not let this dinger get to us! It was terrible that anyone could think it was Bev! I can't believe that anyone from this family would be dinging. Personally I think it is someone outside of the thread who just LOVES causing trouble and he is trying to turn us against each other!
It just like Alliegiance from Season 6...its a person(maybe a few people) who are trying to make us turn on each other and fall out but we have got to stick together and fight whoever it is!!

So please nobody leave, the shipper family is too special to just walk out of like that! Bev i'm sure that it wasn't anyone in the shipper family who sent you that ding, just an idiot trying to cause trouble.

After giving it some consideration, though, my sense is that someone (or a group of someones) is trying to create dissent and disharmony amongst the chipper shipper clan.

...

Some don't want to see a group of people congregate to enjoy the Sam/Jack ship and maybe their solution is to systematically disband the brother/sisterhood of shippers. (And no, I don't mean ALL anti-shippers. There are rational antis just like there are rational shippers. But just like any group - shippers included - there are some who takes things much more seriously and rabidly than others and are more active in their support or dissent.)

Would you mind not saying stuff that makes it sound like you believe that the dinger is an anti-shipper? You have no reason to suppose that. I'm not about to let on - either way it would be harmful to this thread and to GW. I'll explain my reasons in private if anyone feels a need to know. But for the same reasons, I think it would be harmful to this thread and to GW to have the finger pointed at a member of *any* fan group; even with a rider saying that most members of said group are okay it only takes one percieved sin from one percieved member of a fan group to cause friction sooner or later. I know you don't mean harm, but if I let you speculate that it might be an anti-shipper it'd be hard to stop someone from speculating that it might be a shipper, and then all sorts of unpleasantness would be about.

Thanks.

Well I understand there is some sort of militant penguin shipper group...

Not sure I understand the shipper/penguin connection (okay, I don't get it at all) ... but it sounds cool so let's see what we need to do to register!

Shippy Penguins UNITE!!!
