if she is a member,
and this is a known fact,
and we aren't allowed to trash talk members in general,
why should you be allowed to trash talk her?
she should have the same level of respect that the rest of the members get.

Because last I checked, not every member winds up on the front page of newspapers periodically for "wacky" antics. I disagree with the American mindset that what celebrities do is automatically interesting, but this is a woman that knows she's constantly under the microscope and clearly couldn't care less. What that poor child of her's must go through every time Mommy shows up on the eleven o'clock news.

The FAQ doesn't make allowances for celebrity status.

Cool. Well, I'm going to go get elected into congress and drown a dozen puppies on prime-time network television.

Yeah, I can't believe she did that.

are you saying that i shouldn't have brought this up because she might be a member??
and/or that i'm an asshole for doing so??

i may, indeed be an asshole, but not cuz of this.

No, I'm trying to say that Jeff made an amusing graphic for use in Courtney threads and for some reason it didn't show up in his post. However, the official stance on Courtney threads in the past has been don't be any more of an asshole to her than you would be to any other member because she is one, like the rest of us. Sometimes people forget that.

Exactly. I get tired of the "don't talk shit about her because she's a member" crap.

Um, excuse me, since when do we not talk shit about other members here?

I can't even pronounce that word.

I see no problem with reporting her missteps when they are in the news anyway. We should just avoid the urge to bash her because, as stated so many times before, she does come around here. I wish that, just once, after someone calls her a freak or worse, she would be logged on and rip into that person.
