Dave- Don’t get me wrong I’m not looking to yoiu to comment on their behavior or to try to defend it in any way. It’s not your responsibility. If I really cared that much I’d take it up with them.
Well, I’m not standing by any longer 11217. Your point is valid. It’s all just fucking around and fun until people REAL PEOPLE get hurt. And I’m PISSED OFF now.
The garbage that is being SPEWED on BOTH sides HAS TO STOP. Teasing and goofing around is one thing, but acting like we’re in 5th grade and hurting people IS NOT.
The people that want to brush it off and say “ah, it’s just a blog” and not take it seriously can do as they please. And will pay me no mind, and that’s their perogative.
I’d be happy to meet you and anyone else I’ve bickered with. But that’s me. And I’m generally happy to bury the hatchet if the hand is offered. And with you, I did do that.
11217 – No matter how one feels about what has occurred, there’s nothing we can do to change it.
My hope is that the get together will be a time of healing – thus far the ones I have been to have been amicable w/ frenemies able to discuss differences w/o all the carry-on they indulge in on the thread.
Dave- I just went over and took a gander at What’s OT. Now that I’ve seen it for myself I will say there does seem to be a real preoccupation in what’s going on over here. Seems like everyone is keeping tabs on both blogs.
As someone who came out and immediately defended both Bitter and Beoch from AL’s attack I find their not so thinly veiled passive aggressive and mocking comments with regard to the USPS and shipping inquiry’s petty. (for those who don’t know I was inquiring about how to ship packages to Canada yesterday).
If this is the way they talk about someone who’s been nice to them then that’s not exactly my type of people. I get why so many people have become disenfranchised with their behavior.
There was no reason for that other than to be nasty. Nice job *ladies*, jeez.
Arkady, sweeping it under the rug doesn’t solve it either but it is better to have a good honest chat between friends face to face to resolve things vs. on the blog here.
You’d be very surprised at the changes that can be effected in the human heart. Resentment can be cured. Remember what someone said to me this week:
“This conversation will go a long way toard ending our differences. In fact I think they are ended.”

Just making a comment based upon what I just saw.
THL, I don’t think the USPS jabs were meant for you specifically, just that it was probably a long and boring discussion about, well, the USPS.

And where did I initiate stirring things up today???
What’s weird is most of us are still friends! I’ve hung out with PLUSAs three times this week.
