I swore I wouldn't get involved with this, but it's getting out of hand. Having brought up an ADHD child to be a well-balanced individual with good self-esteem through the primary strategy of ignoring bad behaviour (unless dangerous) and rewarding good, I lay before you the following case analysis:
Post 1 - Hello to just the Dommes - I is lovely, and you should like me
Post 2 - (shouts) I know lots of stuff - the Dommes should like me!
Post 3 - (pick on someone and use them to highlight the fact that) I know lots more stuff than anyone here, and DOMMES SHOULD LIKE ME!
Post 4 - (shouts) I'm far more informed than anyone else, and I have great ideas!
Post 5 - (shouts) Loads of other people thought I was great! You should too! Why are the Dommes ignoring me!!!
Post 6 - (shouts, using attention-grabbing words) I'm very liberal about what Domme I want ... oh, and btw, I'm caring about other subs (flutters eyelashes)
Post 7 - (pets lip, does puppy eyes) I have great ideas and fantasies ... (stamps) You're going to listen to me!
Post 8 - (shouts inappropriate attention-grabbing offer) I'm very caring - Dommes should like me! Give me what I want now! (stamps foot)
Post 9 - (shouts) Why do you like him?! Why aren't you paying attention to me?!!! I'M THE BEST!!!
Post 10 - (screams, stamps, goes red in the face) You're all horrid and rubbish and I hate you all!!!
IC (chidingly): Now, now, you're being very naughty and rather silly. Come and sit down and we'll explain why you're being naughty - you can have this sweetie if you promise to be good!
Post 11 - (smirks, eats sweetie) Well, ok ... (petulantly) But most of you ARE rubbish, and I don't need you anyway ... and HE (points) said the rude words and you weren't cross!
Now, (as a child psychologist would say in a non- threatening manner) given that a child will respond to any attention, whether negative or positive, where do you think your actions reinforced the undesirable behaviour?

btw, my practice sessions at doing triple irony are coming along well ... errr ... or was that double irony? ::gets tangled up in her own semantics and falls over:: Drat - I hate it when that happens ...
