It's called boredom. 
Sometimes people just want to fight.

You know what they say.......  the people you talk about the most are the ones you are jealous of and see
as a threat.

 ;)

You're probably right, and I'm not really shocked, or surprised, or anything like that.  Actually, I've been out of the discussion, but saw red when I heard that Gary was being attacked over there.  I couldn't stay over in Satan's lair for long; I had to get out of there, pronto.  I don't really care that Jess has started a hate forum, but I have a problem when a dear friend of mine is being ridiculed behind his back.

It is cowardly when you cut and paste threads from this site, sneer at them and then make it so others aren't able to respond.  That is cowardly and really sort of pathetic.

I honestly am not understanding what the difference is between cross-posting from here and "sneering," and pasting something from any other blog and discussing/analyzing/criticizing it without the author's knowledge or feedback. Why is one acceptable, and the other not??

Well, I have a problem when members here copy and post our post there, but, if it gives them some
kind of thrill........  whatever strange thrill that must be, then good on them.

Sometimes it just makes people feel big and important.

So anyway.......  we all love Gary for the sweet soul that he is.

He has many friends here, and appreciate him for his ways.
That is all that is important.

I would never call someone a 'tard.

Well, not since I was in 2nd grade anyway.

The author(s) of those articles copied and posted here are probably flattered that someone chose to discuss his/her missives.  If not, why write them and put them out there in the first place?  Besides, whether the authors know that we're supposedly cutting their articles to shreads does not stop them from coming here and defending themselves.  They can do that.  Posting threads from this site to The "retreat" and allowing others to read catty comments about those threads/posters but blocking people from responding is cowardly and pathethic.

You know, we all could set here and trash Jess on this forum.
What's the point.  She's gone.  We go on to better things.

I am happy for the ones that followed her and that they feel they have a place
they belong now. That's great.

However, the fact that they feel the need to continue to come here and
copy and post and ridicule everyone posts, tells me they might not be that
content.

If they were, why do they keep worrying about what we are saying and doing.

I say we just don't worry about them.  Ignore it and take the higher road.

They obviously have some deep issues.

We really all should be flattered they are so interested.

 If they don't get why we are upset with what they are doing, then
mores the pity.
Ain't gonna change.

OK. So its not the cross-posting and conversation going on over there, its the fact that others are prohibited from participating. That I can understand. Maybe its not "fair." But I don't think its reasonable for anyone here to expect that Jess is going to let you in after being kicked off this board. She's allowed to pick and chose who her friends are.
