Smiley- Angela doesn’t seem to like Biggie and / or ‘Biggies’ and doesn’t respect that YOU DO.
I think she was trying to wind you up and it all got out of hand (unfortunately you contributed to this by exacerbating things with her via email, and everyone else calling her names when she was mad added fuel to the fire)
Angela was enjoying making you uncomfortable at the beginning which is a sure sign that she doesn’t really like you that much right now.
If you want to stay friends with her don’t bang on about Biggie. I wouldn’t bother being friends with her anyway (sorry Angela) if I was you because her lack of respect for what matters to you isn’t a good place to start a friendship.
Also, no-one really cares that you talked to her about JBB. Everyone talks about everyone else all the time EVERYWHERE. Sometimes its gossip, other times it’s just letting off steam. I know for a FACT with the JBB thing you would have just been letting off steam / talking it out to try and make sense of what was happening with a friend you were worried about. So you don’t need to keep trying to distance yourself from Angela and what she said.
So you really didn’t need to jump into that thread and get all stressed about what Angela was saying and worry about how it was affecting what people think of you. I'm sure everyone is cool with you Smiley!
Smiley- Don’t take Biggie so seriously. It is kinda hard when everyone knows each other off the boards. It was fun when people didn’t know each other and we all used to have silly fights. Although when people did meet up some people couldn’t forget what was said it kinda sucked. Some of us realised we didn’t like each other IRL after all, and vice versa. Personally I hope that noone on here I have met would ignore me because of something smart-arse I said on Biggie 5 years ago. I wouldn’t do that to them! So yeah things around here have changed, probably for the better, if most people here now are friends!
Smiley: Take Reaction’s advice and chill out
I can understand why Angela didn’t take too kindly to being coached on how to talk to people on the boards so as to make a good impression. I think some people would do the opposite of what you asked just to annoy you. Plus the whole ‘emailing about discussions on Biggie’ thing looks a bit extreme to people who don’t care about it, so that probably made her more angry.
Still, Angela should just have walked away. Its pretty obvious why she didn’t, she’s really mad at you, I don’t know why, and I seriously DOUBT its justified (seeing as I have known you for 15 years!- even if I haven’t seen you in ages I am sure you are the same person- you wouldn’t hurt a fly)
I think because you wouldn’t hurt a fly BUT take things REALLY seriously the best way to piss you off is to try and fuck with something you are mega serious about. Which is what Angela did. STOP talking to her via email. Tell her to leave you alone and ignore her. AND LEAVE HER ALONE TOO!
If Angela is trying to stick a wedge inbetween you and your Biggie mates by being nasty to them and then asking why you aren’t backing her up you should see that for what it is and IGNORE IT.
p.s whats your email addy?
