This is my final thread on Mudcat, after being told that I don't see music in the same way as you 'musicians'...and being kind of lambasted for daring to say I thought Eddi Reader had the most beautiful voice..

For those not aware - Lizzie has a pattern of behaviour over the years since her first ever post. For pointing out this pattern I shall be accused of....well it doesn't matter really since she has promised this will be her last thread.........again.

The pattern invariably ends "This is my final thread on Mudcat" or "This is my final ever post on Mudcat" or something similar. One thing is for certain. She says it is final, but it never is.

She has over the years (amongst others) accused highly experienced radio producers, lawyers, teachers, NHS professionals, festival organisers, musicians etc etc of not knowing what they are talking about. She has heaped vituperative nonsense on all sorts of people. All of whom have been remarkably tolerant in patiently explaining why they felt her view might just be mistaken, because they themselves actually knew what they were talking about and hadn't just got their information from the Daily Mail, Daily Express, Wikipedia etc etc.. Their reward has been reiteration of the original horlicks.

If all of Lizzies posts are considered together, rather than individual threads taken in isolation, she is one of the most aggressive posters on Mudcat, constantly shouting and swearing and regularly attacking other posters for daring to disagree with her or to present an alternative to her dystopian view of present-day Britain.

She tells us that this is how she conducts herself in real life as well, with her regular reports of the latest person whom she's lost her rag with or the latest job she's flounced out of, the latest person she has reported to a higher authority, all because the rest of the world simply refuses to see things her way. While doing this and telling us all about it afterwards might make her feel better in the moment, it is hard to understand how such behaviour is at all productive.

If someone is going to persistently indulge in that kind of behaviour, and start thread after thread with half-cocked, inflammatory posts full of inconsistencies, paranoia, misleading statements and gross exaggerations, it is not bullying for the rest of the community to point out that the poster is, in fact, spouting bollocks. If the poster spouts an awful lot of bollocks, then expect the number of responses to be in proportion to the amount of bollocks produced. That's not bullying. Lizzie is an agitator, not a victim.

Sorry for the thread drift - but it needed saying.
