It's a short list, and it really was made quickly and as a joke. I was just trying to help her fit in. She reached out to me when she started to feel excluded, and I was trying to tell her not to take offense or worry overmuch about one persons opinion...

I'm not happy about her bringing it up in public, and using it as bait or leverage, but then again...I did write it and will own up to it. I am still trying to salvage the possibility of being friends with her privately. I love all of you...my cyber family...even the ones on the asshole list. And it's tough to see friends fight with each other. It certainly seems improbable that she will be able to recover gracefully from this bloodbath, but I will still try to help her do that if I can.

Bri, you're not on the list. As I said, the omissions are the worst part of it. I forgot glatt too.

Monster is on all 3 lists. I'm on 2. So please, don't take it seriously.... It was but a jape.

And UT, I can't argue with your point. I really wish I could. I am trying to be more considerate of other people's perspective.... I think life has been bonking me over the head with that lesson lately. My history says that I am what you say, though. Remind me of this post if I should come down hard on a male newb?

I am disappoint.

Oh well, as they say...meh.

Jim, the one flag she didn't show in her signature line was an all red one. But it should be obvious. Be careful.

Or he'll throw you under a bus, given the right circumstances.

Kidding. Really, kidding.

I'm sorry

Trilby · 10-19-2011, 11:50 AM

so - I'm NOT on the list and she baits me with it?

what does that say about her? IIRC, I was nothing but nice and welcoming to the lady. I thanked her for some interesting posts about new jersey ffs!

I just got fed up when she kept saying she was leaving as we were horrible (for not commenting on her breast cancer thread?) but then she didn't leave which is the hallmark of someone who is ....you know, drama-whoring.

She's probably loving this.

eta - anyway - glad we're friends.

for you.

jimhelm · 10-19-2011, 11:55 AM

She didn't say you were on the list. I assumed someone else had talked to her about you privately

infinite monkey · 10-19-2011, 11:55 AM

jim, you don't have to apologize to me. You owe me nothing. Except the friendship and respect that you have spoken of. If it's not there, don't speak of it.

I don't understand it, but I don't love you any less.

Of course, as paranoid as I am, I have all kinds of ideas that hurt about what "list" or lists I was on, but it doesn't really matter. You were working on a goal that I can't fathom. It's not really about any of us on that list (which might even be worse than actually being on a list: not even mattering which list you were on, it only mattered to the person hell bent on destruction and division, thinking she had a secret, that she knows more...though we don't know her "trials and tribulations", her quote, she thinks she knows ours, and "us") it's about something that is not my business: your private life.

But she made it public, and made a lot of people feel badly in the process. What does that tell you?

She never did say specifically that you were on "the list." But it's possible you were mentioned elsewhere. She was apparently PMing a lot of people. Including me. But I didn't talk about any of you.

Well that's even better. Join a forum, then immediately start...what? I don't even know what the name for it is.

ffs (not at you glatt, sorry)

If you received a PM from Dis PRIOR to the blow-up, please raise your hand.

I did not.

I suspect you needed to have a penis. I could be wrong.

This is making me ill. What a crock.

glatt · 10-19-2011, 12:03 PM

Oh, no. Mine was post blow-up. She was just answering a question I raised in this thread.
