Where did you get the name Ash?

Hi Laura_Marie . . .We have an (unwritten) rule at BtN, which is that if someone is told that their post is on the wrong board, you don't reply to that thread any more. I know you're new and didn't know that, that's why I'm telling you :-)This girl probably won't come back - you get to recognise the not-coming-back style after a while - but Ash is a tree or word name (the supposed "vampire" association in this poster's mind is probably to do with ashes) or a nickname for Ashley.:-)

First of all, thanks for writing as if I'd never see your message.
Secondly, I was asking for the original poster's reply because there is a vampire named Ash in a book series and I don't see anything wrong with my asking. Sorry for the blatent disrespect for your (unwritten) rules.

Lol . . . *shakes head in bewilderment*Firstly, thankyou for making a fool of yourself. Your sulky little huff at my very polite post is entirely childish.Secondly, I *didn't* write as if you'd never see the message - c'mon, I addressed it to you and spoke directly to you, why would I bother if I didn't think you'd see it? If you're referring to the "this poster won't come back" thing, you misunderstood - I was taking about the Chelsea character who started the thread in the first place. Don't go blaming me if you misread my post.Thirdly, as I said, I knew you hadn't been around long enough to know about the don't-reply rule, so there's no need to act all offended. I wasn't telling you off, I was letting you know so you wouldn't do it in the future. While you might have wanted to talk about the book, this board is not for off-topic conversation and even if the poster had replied you would have immediately been told to take it elsewhere anyway.80% of being an adult is about learning society's "unwritten" rules and following them. Welcome to the real world.

I'm sorry for interrupting but it seems you two are both way off topic and if that's an unwritten rule Chrisell don't you think you should follow your own rules? (Just saying...)

No . . .Telling someone about the rules isn't off-topic, it's necessary. Laura-Marie needed to know, and her out-of-line response begged a reply - as did yours.
