I like that we have a lot of newbies (even the ones that makes me scratch my head) and lurkers in this thread (I was a lurker last year, I loved reading the Estelle thread). I love reading posters who let us know that they have been enjoying this thread, it's the opposite to those who come here and call us delusional Jade fans and that we should seek professional help. Those ones are the one that I fight back at.
I loved reading this post. Like [MENTION=35037]Drade 2013[/MENTION] said, it's always nice when people comment and say they've been reading and enjoying our posts rather than the ones that rush in calling us delusional and pathetic.
I've been a long time lurker as well. Probably since 06 or so, but I only signed up this year. I think I have this thread to blame for racking up such a pathetically bad high post count. It's become such a natural thing for me to read/post in here now. Before I would scroll through Facebook, etc but now it's become this forum.
I used to be a poster on this forum way back in the day. I started out on OzUpdates and ended up here at some point. I didn't follow Australian BB for seasons 8 or 9, but got sucked in this year because USBB was sooooo bad. I lurked for a long while, until I just had to say something to defend Jade. Unfortunately, when I went to post this year, I could not access my old user name because I had used a hotmail account to register and had to start all over.Same. My number is pretty high also considering I waited so long to get accepted on here lol
I'll be honest, I stick to this thread because I like reasonable discussions. Even though we don't agree on everything, I think we're all willing to listen and consider most points of view. The obvious exception is slagging of Jade or her fans. I don't think Jade is perfect, and I can be just as critical of her actions as the next person, but name calling and outrageous exaggerations is uncalled for and I just ignore those posters.
And while I may not have the volume of posts some of you have, I probably have more words on this thread than most because I never know when to stop. I greatly appreciate your tolerance of my wordiness.
Thanks to everyone for making this place my home away from home!
