bettyrubble/d-a obviously, you're a bit behind. This has already been brought out. So what do you want....brownie points or perhaps you should read up on GR history....?

exposing corruption
The private groups Mas and pretty people and peace of cake all hve pretty much the same members. they think that they run gr and have the right to defame, judge and even warn new members about other existing members being phoney, meaning having multiple aka's. Meanwhile thepiggs( amember of all 3 groups listed above) has 4 alters(misslily, fire_topaz. mimi_bobeck and one more) and runs around the site trying to befriend people who the groups don't trust.

They also break into private groups where they are not members and read all the posts to find out what is going on.

i broke into their groups and am just reprinting their dialogues so that people know that they are saying and doing harmful things.

here are more thread #s: 4227, 4241, 4248, 4266, 4269

, 4273, 4306 and there are many more. Don't be surprised if you find your name being tossed around by these witches!

Don't bother looking at the threads. That was then, and we can supply a million other threads from 'Way Back Then' that no longer make a hills' beans worth of difference. Further more, we won't be quite so predjudice in what we chose for you to see....

GG, maybe you should consider the source of them first?? This BettyRubble is no longer a member. Gee, I wonder why???

Yes, a lot of us have been fooled, upset, and HAVE ALLOWED OURSELVES to be victims of problems on this site. Yes, one of these problems has not been 'figured out' as of yet, and that problem is still participating in cognito in some of the groups -- private, and public.....

BUT!!!! You were warned by some very good people as to becoming too friendly with these trolls. So, the trolls have changed their costumes. Big deal! They will again and again and again......as long as they can get people like you to do their dirty work for them -- which, according to a lot of PM's that were sent by you to the exact same people who tried to help you & give you a heads-up -- they will continue to exisit, fester, AND do so quite eloquently.

Funny how BettyRubble has been removed from the site. Ditto with many others.

Please consider the source before you attack the next time.

Apologies, with respect, to Wynne as head of this group :)
I am so very sorry for bringing this to the top again.....but, it's time that we all learn, and be careful!

Because at the rate we are going now, there are a lot of members that will leave Group Recipes that really should not!

Greekgirrrl, do you see yet?? Do you see what's been going on?? And what will continue to go on??? Did we all deserve the messages that you sent us of late?? All because of this BettyRubble????????

Open your eyes, everyone!! BettyRubble will -- and already has!! -- resurfaced. One name today, account deleted, and another name tomorrow. Some things don't change -- but, my attitude towards warning others, for the future, has changed.

GG, you most certainly made sure I realized that! What do you think we should do??? Just ignore it, let other people 'get what they deserve' because they are naive?? Trusting souls?? Let them fall on their faces?????

Hello Kris, et al....

Thank you for supplying me with a wonderful form of entertainment & pleasure in a field that I thoroughly enjoy.....

Unfortunately, at this time, I would like you to delete my account; I feel that there is too much crap going on in the background -- and, every time I choose to ignore these problem people, they choose to keep themselves in the forefront -- the format of this site has been enabling them to do just that, and trying to ignore the crap is getting harder and harder.

Many members of this site feel that I am not worthy; so be it. I'm tired of fighting, so let it be known that I am NOT worthy, they are correct.

Please remove my account as soon as possible.

Thank you in advance,

[NAME]

aka Kukla, on Group Recipes

I'm not perfect either,.....BUT.....at least I never claimed to be.....

Just once I would like to sign onto this site and know that these belligerent little shit___tes are not there to great me with their crap.....

Just once or twice in the past 9 months, that's all I ask.....

My goodness friends, and I mean that as a geniune statement. Can't we all just get along? I know I'm a newbie here and don't know all that has taken place, but can't we at least exchange pleasant comments?

kukla...I have to admit...I don't know you. I quess our paths haven't really crossed. All I can say to you is I hope you don't leave. This is such a wonderful site. I always hate to see someone go.

Like wynne said, this is a cooking site. With an extra perk, in my opinion, we have a chance to really get to know each other. There are so many personalities on this site that naturally, people will disagree. I joined this group just for that reason. You may not agree with what I say and I may not agree with what you say. At least we have the right to voice our opinions!

Gg....I know you were hurt before. And I'm sorry, even though I was not involved. I think we all need to let it go and move on. You as all the others bring so much to this site. Lets just be happy in it.

Sorry, quess I'm trying to be the peacekeeper here. Comes natural to me. After having 4 kids you learn......lol

Have a wonderful evening everyone.

RE: look at this thread
Kimmer, it is very much appreciated. Thank you. But I have one more thing to say.

Sme people seem to want to avoid the main issue with these inane histrionics.

What bettyrubble did was bad?- yes. She stirred up trouble?-yes. People's feelings were hurt?-yes.

Did bettyrubble rubble write these posts? NO

Would bettyrubble have been able to distribute these posts if they didn't exist? NO

Who wrote the posts? foodies on this site who are now carrying on as if I or Zanna, ruskingirl, lollya who got their feelings hurt are somehow RESPONSIBLE for what THEY wrote.........preposterous CRAP!

And instead of fessing up to it and apologizing , they try to cast aspersions. You wrote the posts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DEAL WITH THE CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR ACTIONS! ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR WHAT YOU DID!

I have already apologized for what I did in the past. Just because you didn't accept my apology doesn't mean I didn't make it. That included wynne, rml and line. Hell- you were talking about my apology pm to you in your secret group. Shall I pull up the thread?

You cannot even admit your mistake and that's what makes you look and sound pathetic.

Yes, there were other threads that I read from mas that were harmless. There were many more bettyrubble didn't send!

Gg....I'm sorry. I feel I stepped out of line now because I do not know all that went on and should not comment on it. All I was trying to do was keep a friendly atmosphere. There is obviously so many hurt and bad feelings here. I truly hope you can all work it out.

RE: look at this thread
There are some from other private groups which I have been sent also. The Creamde.. but, those are old... do not want to bring them out. Did get a newer one sent couple days ago.. it was bad.. I did not want to post. I thought we were going to stop all this. Can we please.. try? Yes I have said stuff... I admitted that.. I said I did not trust some on here... that is NOT WRONG in this day and age. I think we are being played by some who like the turmoil..

Kukla.. you have been here a long time, and a great friend.. I hope Kris fixes this site. It is OK to disagree.. natural. But some feed off it. That is why we took it private.. And that is why we took it to another group. Glad you joined us there... Now they start reading that... then what? As we do get verbal! The private groups here are a joke... NOT PRIVATE... not at all. It is too easy to get into. And also, when a person on here gets "testy" and sends a virus via email... that is WAY OVER THE LINE. And that happened to me! I have proof of that ... I wondered what it was and sent to another... Stupid me! So they don't play nice at all... but put forth the image of being that way...

GG.. I already told you I thought you were a AKA.. and said if you were not .. I was sorry... You are not the only one hurt here... not at all.

RE: look at this thread
linebb....I called myself the blonde beagle puppy the other day on checkin. Now I really feel that way. How can someone read something in a private group? I don't join the private groups (except TPB) cause there is no description of what they are about. I really wish there were. Because it just might be a group I want to join. Guess I always feel like an "outsider" and don't want to intrude. But I just don't see how they can read something unless, of course, they join that group just to spy. But then again, in a private group, don't you somewhat screen people? Just wondering.

RE: look at this thread
Wynee you are obtuse, not evil! Also completely immature.. If you want to play that way, that's fine. I don't mean that much to you? Oh well......

The fact is that even if they were not meant to hurt people because they were supposed to be private, they still hurt people's feelings and the fact that this doesn't bother you is what makes you a mean -spirited person..plain and simple.

You don't care one iota that people read these and felt hurt?? Shame on you.

And anyway, weren't the other private groups supposed to be private also? What on earth were you all doing pulling threads from them and reading them in your group???

You see, this fact is out now, so people want to know.

They also want to know why THEPIGGS has AKA's that she admitted to in these threads from your group. Of couse, she hasn't admitted that in public.

Why don't you tell Kimmer how to get into a private group? She did ask nicely. I already know.thanks to your group MAS!

RE: look at this thread
this is something I said to GG.... reading the private threads is like reading some-body's Diary or Private Journal..... and yes it wasn't like any of you went purposely looking for the threads... they were sent to you... well using the same analogy.... if by accident you find someones Journal does that give you the right to read it??? .. if you read some-body's private diary and are hurt by what they were feeling at any given point....who is to blame?? all party's are hurt... the writer for the invasion into their private thoughts or the one who was hurt by those thoughts?

I think all of us have vented to a friend or family member about our significant other.... is that the only way you feel about them??? they do something so stupid that you are laughing about it...in private.... your making fun of them or angry at them.... is that the only way you feel??? if someone heard that, what would they think..... what would your love one think???? it's a moment in time even if you are angry for a month...or more.... it's not the whole story..

the reason for doing this in private was to not cause what is happening right now... fighting, and more distrust... etc... there have been things that have gone on in the past.... thing that we all would not like to see happen again.... there has been a lot of unpleasent thing that have happened recently.. many of you didn't see or even realize they were happening... why? because the very people you are thinking are so terrible have dealt with the problem before it blew up like this...

and i have one final thing to say...
there is a thread in one of the groups that has me telling RML not to let on to DJ that she knew who he was...... now if you know me at all you know that I try to never hurt anyone.... so what was that really about..

this.... I wanted to talk to DJ .... an AKA.....privately because I like the real, him..... and I thought I could keep him from attacking a certain other member.... also.. This person DJ and RML just get in each others faces..... for some reason they just rub each other wrong..!!!.... i was hoping to avoid that confrontation...

now the thread made the story look one way but this is what was really going on...

should there be public apologies??? i don't know... do we have to say we are sorry to somebody if you say or think something privately??? if somebody reads or overhears something that they shouldn't and are hurt ... should they expect an apology???

my personal opinion is this.... I am sorry if some of you were hurt... that was not the intention... if you are hurt by something you read go to the person PRIVATELY and find out what was really going on.... work it out.... and then lets move one...
there is someone out there that wants to destroy this site and we each have a choice to make..... do we let them....Peeta

I did a AKA... she is long gone.. I did it to see if it was easy... it was. I never used it to do EVIL... did it to test. I really thought it would send up flags.. I even rated acouple of recipes on others pages! Good ratings BTW! Want to beat me? Put me in a stockade? BUT... I refused to believe it could be done. I thought there would be boundries.. So I tested it... BIG DEAL! I wanted to be sure it could be done BEFORE I pointed fingers...

my 4¢
why? because 2¢ is not enough.
i would just like to say a few things. i will keep it short.

this site used to be a wonderful place to come. it was chock full of good people sharing recipes and making small talk (thank you to those people).

when i found the message boards, i was elated! sweet! a great place to come talk about food and entertaining with people who had something to teach me! double sweet.

my first brush with the boards was when i stupidly fell into thinking everyone on the boards should be using it the way i was - to create my own recipes and share them. silly me, not everyone is motivated to spend hours pulling a recipe together. - now i know that whatever i put out there is just as much yours as mine, law says so.

my second run-in was when mystic river was brutally antagonized in the boards. now, i personally don't have a relationship with her. and fell right into being worried she might lo-ball me and create chaos in my already chaotic life. of course this wasn't through my own relations with her, but what i read of her on the boards. i heard she lied, hurt some feelings, lied some more. i chose to stay away. i didn't blame anyone for looking out for themselves or their buds. but good christ did you guys nail her to the cross. and realistically were just cruel. it was like watching 6th graders ostracize an outcast. it reminded me of my own childhood outcasting.

my last occurence, and i do mean last here with grouprecipes is this. upon seeing what the faux rubble posted, i sent greekgril a message - something i rarely do, even if i'm chums - cause i'm a busy kid. i reached out to her cause her feelings were hurt. here's the backstory on that one - i denied cooking friends with gg back when the mystic things was unfolding because i wanted nothing to do with the slandering going on (not even sure if she was even involved). but she asked again (probably didn't even know) and i accepted, because afterall it's a cooking site and i don't hold grudges well. (damn geminis)
anyways. i messaged her - to make sure she was ok. i didn't fully understand the upset, and well it's cause i'm not involved too much here anymore. well basically she thought i was involved in the circle extensively because i was also in some other group. now, i can't tell you how many groups i've joined, and i'm probably friends with mystic. this is not a daily things for me to manage. i just store my recipes here. anyways, she declined talking with me further. which blows.

so now. i leave too. and please, no messages to stay. no catty comments. this is a member that has been here from the get-go, the start and i fucking hate coming here now. HATE IT.

(oh, and please no comments on my language. i'm 31 and i will say fuck as much as i fucking want to)
:P

i'm sincerely not angry. it's just a healthy decision i choose to make for myself.
i won't even be back to read the comments posted to defend or judge or whatever.
i just don't have the time or energy.

all i can say is, it's just not that great. no one here is a "protector" of others. it's downright silly.
no one's going to get hurt if you don't tell them about the suspected "crazies" and seriously? who cares??

it's petty, junior-high ridiculous catty bs.

and i'm glad to be done with it.

sayanora
lolls

(i did not re-read before posting - so if it's harsh - that's how it is, time to make dinner) oh! and it's not pointedly aimed at anyone, just my general observations.

and lastly for the record gg, i was clean.

Beyond sad! Lollya, I'm going to miss the chats. Good luck with your wedding.

GG, sounds like you're the one who needs to apologize...not that it will matter now.

Peeta, you Kukla, Wynne, Line and Lollya....for what it's worth, you're all right.

There was a small instance where eeks and I had some "issues." He admitted that he was DJ. He could have been telling me a fib. The point is, we all choose to participate in GR in the way that works for us. I pick and choose who I respond to. I don't understand why wonderful cooking buddies are leaving....Just ignore the crap. If it bothers you, don't read it.

GG....I understand why you're so bitter. You bilged your buddy and expected others to accept you immediately. You sound Very Bitter. (again, just a cooking site)

I'd like to suggest that we all get back to cooking, swapping recipes and having fun in the groups.

Kris is going to have to kick me off kicking and screaming because there are just too many wonderful recipes and great people here.

RE: look at this thread
I have no freaking clue what's going on here and you know what? Thank God for that. Lollya is right--this used to be a fun place. I hope Kris scraps this whole format when he introduces the new one. This site has become nothing more than a place to store my recipes--there's no social fun.

It starts with people policing the newbies and "strongly" advising them what is acceptable here and what isn't. People appoint themselves to do what's best for GR and look what's happened. Sucks to be here. Seriously, it's just no fun anymore. Too much freaking BS! And it never stops!

I don't know who to even talk to anymore. And guess what? Nothing on the internet is private. There's always a way to find things out and you should all know that. If you're going to talk about people--be prepared to own it, because they're most likely going to find out.

And kukla, no disrespect to you at all, but if you want to leave the site, just go. You don't need to wait for kris to delete you. You started saying you were leaving 4 hours and 20 minutes ago, but you keep responding to the crap. The only way to break ties with a site is to take it upon yourself--and that's anyone, not just you, kukla. And it may not seem like it, but i mean this in the nicest way. If it causes you that much stress, do yourself a favor and leave it behind.

See you guys around sometime. Hopefully it's actually you and not an evil twin alter ego. ;)

oh, to any of you that are going through rough patches with health and sick family members, bless you and my best you and yours.
