It's actually best if you look at one of the gifs (especially this one) while listening to either song. You guys have made it clear who all is on this thread, and what cues you notice and don't notice (including usernames and profile "latest status" that never even changes), so again... lending a hand.

Let me see if I have this correctly:
Julie and Neuro and Spider are 'lovely' Kijii and Marsha are 'reasonable'
Yet they are all part of the 'lynch mob'?
OK, I get it now __________________________________________
There's more to come in the next post -- lots more.

More manipulations, how exciting. Will it be as good as the other posters' ideas: ZOMG, you guys, let's totes post-stalk her.
Yeah! That's a great idea!
Yeah, let's do that.
Oh my gosh, did you see how nice she is to people?? OMG, that's unpossible!!

For those unaware of the firestorm going on here, let me bring you up to date. Diana has expressed her concern about two items: A) Players not following the posting rules B) Matt being insulting to her _________________________________________________________________________________
Problem A) Some players are not posting their answers in the proper format of: 164/176 -- Idi Amin THE LAST KING OF SCOTLAND (Whitaker-FF) / RAID ON ENTEBBE (Kotto-TV)
Here are four examples of rule violators:
1) Mick (most flagrant violator): Michael Collins 97 Neeson - MICHAEL COLLINS FF 45 Gleason - THE TREATY TV --- naughty naughty, my Irish friend ... this gives you an unfair posting advantage of 2 seconds faster than other players. No point
2) Neuro 60/144 - Daniel Webster Hopkins. SHORTCUT TO HAPPINESS TV Toler. THE GORGEOUS HUSSY FF -- sorry, Linda -- wrong format. Names and labels go inside brackets after the title. No point
3) Kijii 143/156 - Harry Truman TRUMAN (Sinise-TV) / GIVE 'EM HELL HARRY (Whitmore-FF) -- Kijii you idiot! Sinise is #134, not 143. Misnumbering will cost you a point (In the vastly superior Ram Games instead of this GG 'tripe' -- I lost several points by misnumbering)
4) Here's an example even closer to home -- this one from dear Diana 111/147 - Henry M. Stanley STANLEY AND LIVINGSTONE (1939) FF played by Spencer Tracy FORBIDDEN TERRITORY: STANLEY'S SEARCH FOR LIVINGSTONE (1997) TV played by Aidan Quinn (as Henry Morton Stanley) Hey Diana -- where does it say that players must put in the year of release? What's with the 'played by' nonsense? And I specifically instructed 'last names will suffice'! -- No point
Yeah, this is much better. Too bad there are no more Garth Games, or the Diana demand of exact formatting of answers would go a long way towards guaranteeing harmonious relationships between players instead of the constant complaints that have been prevalent in so many contests and by so many participants. ____________________________________________________________________________________
Problem B -- when Diana complained about the format violations, the Quizmaster insulted her with a condescending remark and an offensive image of a stuck-out tongue.
OK, that was not meant to be insulting, just a kidding reference to lighten the mood of a complaint that I misinterpreted. I probably should have used a sad face instead. I thought Diana possessed a sense of humor -- my error. I did apologize -- twice. Apparently not accepted, so here comes a third one -- I apologize sincerely for having unintentionally offended you. (Frankly speaking, if that doesn't work then you can just go to hell). _____________________________________________________________________________________________
I suggested that Diana continue the complaint in a PM message where we could iron out the problem, but that suggestion was also rejected. I was told that she had no intention of joining my other 'PM Pals' and would continue to berate and insult me on the main board. (FYI -- I have no other PM Pals).
I was accused of playing favorites. Another FYI -- everyone playing Garth Games is a favorite, including Diana (at least until the other day).
I was told that I owe Linda an apology -- not sure why. Something about delaying or postponing a contest? As I recall, I believe I delayed a game BECAUSE of Linda. (By the way, if I DO play favorites, Linda would be at or near the top of that list). ___________________________________________________________________________________________
Perhaps one solution to this dilemma is to bring back Garth Games, but with one adjustment -- to place Diana on 'Ignore.' That way, players can return again to drink from the fountain without someone present to poison the well.

I think you know I only started posting like that in this very game, after you set fire to your own rules, so:
Oh my gosh, more threats? I'm so super surprised!
Whoever said you were biased and that you made threats must've been, hmm, what's the word, I can't, ummm, oh yeah: 100% correct.

I would like to apologize for my posting variants due to the fact I am using an iPad. I have to switch keyboards to do punctuation and I can't cut and paste. I am partially paralyzed and half blind, and Matt has been kind enough to let me get by. I can't have more than one window open, which does slow me down a bit and only being able to type with one finger and have to read the screen with a magnifying glass.
So there are my excuses. Sorry.

Not acceptable under the new regime, Linda! There are no excuses in the revised Garth Games! It's my way or the highway! (OK, on second thought ...)

Hello. If this post is in anyway directed toward me, the only thing I thought and posted about you in this game was to express that it was not right for you to be kept waiting to better accommodate the schedule of another player, especially considering how difficult things can be for you. I'm sorry if that was misunderstood or not mine to speak of, but it cannot be easy for you, of all the players, to wait and wait and endure a delay. That was all I was trying to say relating to you.
