A few people had my back in the
very first dramatic Tiki thread, which precedes everything. Tiki had about 5 big fuck-you posts calling me the worst she could come up with. I wound up not just a "fucking bad person", but rather, "a completely worthless waste of humanity." She sprayed a torrent of liquid shit at me.
S123, DanaC, Moar and Flint, and a few others, "had my back" with statements about how Tiki should not have attacked me in such an abrasive way.
LJ had one-liners trying to poke Tiki in humorous ways. Jinx had nothing.
But it was OK! I actually secretly enjoyed being given the huge FUCK YOU posts. I just make my case best I can, and let people decide what they think. Wacky feisty bitch, I thought, this is actually fun, a little, someone who wants to flame the shit out of me. Nobody has flamed the shit out me for a few years, they all treat me differently here, that's actually not what I really prefer. So bring it on!
And, I thought, at the end of the year we'll all look back with a sort of satisfaction -- that was a really feisty whack-job bitch wasn't it, but she was fun for a while, man it takes all kinds.
