It’s getting a bit weird – could you stop please?

Ta.

C’est tout.

did you really think thatwould help Begineers error and it is not me so begin your process of elimination

you were expecting those ^^^ when you started this thread weren’t you? Not my tags btw.

Are you / were you blackgem?

I would guess that the mods would be able to tell you who it is?

are you really blackgem – how’s the boy now – still cycling?

cool…another witch hunt.

I joined this forum as derek_starship – I have never been blackgem.

derek_starship = cheesed off.

So what does blackgem refer to then DS? Any ideas?

(Not me BTW! 🙂 )

Complain to the mods then

who is tagging almost all of my posts with this?

It’ll be one of ‘the locals’ fishing for a bite – don’t give ‘them’ the satisfaction…..

Begineers ? Is that like an engineer who’s just starting out?

Ok, but why? What is a black gem? …apart from the obvious.

I don’t even know what the obvious is!

😳

I don’t even know what the obvious is!

Me neither!

Neither do I.

If I google it will I end up getting fired?

I Googled it. Unless Google knows something it’s not telling me, a black gem is a gem, which is black.

I’ve met Derek_Starship off of the internet. He is neither a gem, nor black.

HtS – Only one way to find out mate, and it seems you volunteered! 😉

She posted on here back in the day.

I too have been a victim of malicious tagging and feel your pairn.

Perhaps we can start a mutual support group?

A bit of advice, ignore them and they go away or embrace them. Starting a thread letting them know that you are not happy with them is playing right into their hands.
I loved my moments of ‘don simon = AWESOME’, butthen again I am a whore of the attention seeking kind.

So, despite the combined efforts of STW and Google, we still don’t know even if it’s an insult or not 😕

I feel left out. I thought I’d been here long enough to count as a regular but I’m not being singled out like this (or I’ve not noticed). I seem to suffer from tag blindness unless someone points them out.

A quick google and you get this thread – the post by IanMunro mentions “blackgem”

I think it means you smell if I read this reference properly…
I could be wrong, it might mean you have been on the telly briefly, in which case I am blackgem, and so is my wife!

I regularly get tagged… I think someone likes me..

*blows kisses at teh stalker*

…looks like it could be the tv thing then (preceded by WackoAK), if, however, it includes nudity then I am not blackgem, and neither is my wife…

as above – blackgem joined after appearign on a ‘fat families’ show a while back. Her son (Adam?) was shown riding a cheap bike badly and there were comments on here.

She joined to defend him and, despite a lot of stick, hung around for while making irrelevant posts about the minutae of her private life.

I think she got bored and left after a while.

It maybe the irrelevant posts bit that the tagger is trying to make a dig about?

Blackgem is/was/purported to be a mum who posted on here, didn’t ride much but joined in on the banter. She did get a bit of a slagging IIRC, maybe for her weight.

You’re far too nice/uncontroversial/non flouncy-argumentative-extreme.

And I can promise you my high point of 5 “cynic-al muppet” tags has not changed my life.

I don’t even know what the obvious is!

A gem which is black. Y’know, like Onyx.

So it’s a low wattage bully hiding behind tags?

Very brave.

Certainly some sort of bulb.

Y’know, like Onyx.

That’s the noise pigs make silly not a gem.

Booo! Get off! 😉

Back to the OP.

You going to out them, delete the tags and slap their wrists?

A-ha. So blackgem was a chubby bird and somebody thinks that the equation derek_starship = blackgem is amusing.

May I remind this tedious individual that I have lost 3 stone in weight since I published a pic of my distended and bruised belly back in October 2009. Okay so I was a chubster. And now I am much less so. Perhaps you should get out and ride a bit too instead of seeing my username and peeing yourself with mischeivous excitement as you add your hilarious tag.

derek, ignore it, it is beneath you.

DS – looks like the tagger has got what he wanted.

Chapeau!

Thing is, I am assuming Drac can see who has gone done it and have a word. So not hard to sort? I do think some people do not realise they can be identified from their tags by the powers that be.

I thought it was her son that was fat?

Otherwise seems to sum her up pretty well.
