The Saga Continues - Another PM!

[ostarella]

Yes, she did! She sent me another one - which I again have sent to TPTB over at DS. Some neat quotes, folks:

"he was very hungover the Saturday of the Motor City Comic Con by his own admission during the his panel (which I have on camera now)"

Strange - because as I've said before, I was at that con and he certainly didn't look hung over to me. And I'd love to see her film of that panel (again, which I also was at) - must be a wonder in the world of "creative editing"

This referring to some person (no one I know, btw) who is apparently part of the infamous Dirkette Mafia (which, I'm proud to say, she now includes me as a member):

"she will pay for any vandalism to my mother's house no matter who really does it. I weigh more then she does, am stronger and I have my sanity."

Not only does that sound like an absolute threat, but my god - she has her "sanity" - by whose definition?

"I'm too grown up."

Right...

"Karma is a bitch and it does go around"

Does she even know what karma is?

She told me not to bother responding - and there probably is no point, as she would ignore anything I said. Funny, she's perfectly willing to say this crap in a PM but has yet to post publicly on DS. I'll bet when she does, it'll be so profound and full of truths it'll just knock our socks off...

I'm not really into sweets... but I like chocolate, beer/wine and icecream and CAKES :D

All in moderation of course ;-)

[odonaill.livejournal.com]

Well that's just it isn't it?
That's her MO. She does put in these little digs and for the most part people just shake their heads and don't respond, but when she gets the claws out and starts in on the totally outrageous, then your conscience says "I can't let her say these things because I know they aren't true" because there are those out there who *do* believe it.

I do not, nor did I ever, want this woman in my life. I don't want any battles of any sort, but when she comes on and says "he's a drunk", "he was stoned on his cruise", ... I mean..I KNOW this man. It couldn't be further from the truth and when a *friend* is being attacked, you're darn rights I'm going to stand up for them and set the record straight. Put it this way, if she's going to spout off she better have the hard proof to back up what she says. And she simply doesn't. She never did. All the things she said behind his back about his cruise she was on and bragging about "all her friends" who were "witnesses"...not ONE has come forward to back up *anything* she said. To this day.

He doesn't *deserve* this, none of us do.

And I know if it were me being talked about that way, I'd like to think *somebody* would say something in my defense.

Absolutely ;-)

Hey - I read your LJ - moderation my foot! LOL

[ostarella.livejournal.com]

LOL - I think you're right. She's made her alter-ego into a career. Guess that's better than exotic dancer... :p

[billy-shriner.livejournal.com]

It's the weekend... I'm *allowed* at the weekend :D

Hey and I'm exercising too... I do that so that I can have my cake and eat it you know ;-)

[ostarella.livejournal.com]

Yeah, exercise has been my real downfall, especially after going back to work. Somehow can't get "into" doing sit ups after shoving 300 pound crates around for 8 hours...I did get Steel Stomachs out and started that - I got about 2-3 attempts made for every 10 of Dirk's. :p Just wait though - given enough time...and I'll be too old to care! LOL

[ostarella.livejournal.com]

They're two arms of the same straight jacket

LOL - love it!

[billy-shriner.livejournal.com]

The thing is... I think with Steel Stomachs... I'd be too busy watching Dirk to actually care about exercising lol!

[ostarella.livejournal.com]

Well, yeah, there's that. Doesn't help the count when you're stopping every two seconds just to watch...:D

[ani-bester.livejournal.com]

Exactly! You had the right idea in what you said above, responding to specific things she's down *now*

That way, you know exactly what is going on.
And all she can do is make vague incoherent word vomit back at you -_-

I hope DS's policy on harassment via PM bannable too.

[ani-bester.livejournal.com]

So can we tie the two arms together and no more crazy typing on forums!

YAYZ!

[mossy62.livejournal.com]

Well, I don't know half of what went on behind the scene in this case, because I'm not into it long enough, only the bits and pieces I read here and there. It looks indeed a little like pot calling kettle black. Believe me, I'm far from judging or favouring one side or the other, because of that. In fact I was pretty angry about the DBO part, although I don't know what is true or not. I only liked the place and was very sad when it closed down. All I know is that I don't like alienated's twisted and unreasonable attacks, be it against Dirk or someone in his fandom.

But as Tracy said, you can't reason with someone who is beyond reasoning with. She's provoking people, but is unable to take the echo. Choosing the battles is the way, ignore the small things, but tell her off when it gets too serious. And hope that she will keep it on the net and won't show up on anyone's doorstep. Because I think people like her are potentially dangerous and that's really scaring me.

[ostarella.livejournal.com]

She'd probably tongue-type - kinda like Linda Blair in the Exorcist...

[odonaill.livejournal.com]

Kind of makes you wonder why someone is so insistent they are a "fan" and "deserve to be here" when all they can do is really put down the person isn't it?

I've just found it easier to lock her out altogether and I don't sweat the small ( but really petty ) stuff. However, if she goes off full tilt like she did with the "drunk" accusation, I'll be ready. Somewhere, a line has to be drawn because if she had of made that kind of accusation in say a newspaper, she'd be hunting for a lawyer right now.

And at the end of the day, the only person she's hurting and making a fool out of...is herself.

[odonaill.livejournal.com]

Now wouldn't that be bliss? ;-)

[ostarella.livejournal.com]

The DBO thing always confused me. I was a member, but hadn't really gotten into it that much (more of an occasional lurker) and the next thing I know it's closed down, with all sorts of accusations back and forth. About all I know is they had the "red circle" thing going, and I saw some "unpleasant" posts that I wondered about. Probably why I didn't get into it that much. If anyone would like to clue me in - just a synopsis so I know what others are referring to, not the gory details - maybe just message me privately. Don't need to rehash all that here. ;-)

[odonaill.livejournal.com]

OK you REALLY have to stop making me laugh while I'm drinking a cup of tea! :P LOL

[mossy62.livejournal.com]

It's hard to break the circle, but I noticed that it is easier to leave the sugar alone if you stay away from animal proteins and vice versa. Not that I'm fully into MB yet, mind, but in that case Dirk has only confirmed something I had already noticed myself. Have a cup of coffee with a piece of cake and you will crave for meat two hours later. Chemical reaction, that's all it is. The need of the body to balance yin and yang, too much of both extremes. It's easier to handle if you leave both.

[ostarella.livejournal.com]

I have moved away from red meat - I've found that chicken can be used in everything I used to use beef in. (Although according to MB, I shouldn't eat chicken either. Don't know if I'll get that far into it, myself. Tofu just does not cut it for me.) But cutting out red meat definitely cut my craving for sweets, in general. The occasional cinnamon roll is more a fall-back to comfort foods - I tend to crave sweets when I'm stressed out. But then I tend to crave food of any sort when I'm stressed out. *That* is the root of most of my health problems - stress. Never have learned to deal with that adequately.

[billy-shriner.livejournal.com]

Generally I don't eat a lot of red meat. I've always been a chicken fan. It is great... you can do lots of things with it.

The only time I really have red meat is when I make a bolognese... or the other night the lamb curry ;-) Very occasionally I'll buy steak but chicken is my main meat.

WARNING LOL

[ostarella.livejournal.com]

I got warned by the mods because I let people know the troll was back - the message was deleted, as well. LOL Unbelievable. And yet her crap about Dirk is still up.

I replied to them, of course. Expressed my incredulity that they let her back on and gave me a warning. Also told them as long as it takes them forever to do anything, I wouldn't hesitate to respond in kind to any crap from her. Will be interesting to see how they respond to that...

But no response from them re: the pms she sent me. I love how the mods are so concerned about keeping their forums "nice".

Re: WARNING LOL

[ostarella.livejournal.com]

Got a response already - stated they have the right to decide who can and cannot post, the terms and conditions are very clear and those who can't abide by them will not be allowed to post - and that the discussion was now closed.

Gotta love it. Just gotta love it...

[odonaill.livejournal.com]

Well alienated's forum status now reads "banned user", so I guess they really did decide who cannot post and who can ;-)

[ostarella.livejournal.com]

OMG! OMG!

My opinion of the mods just went up several notches.

(sighs)

Peace reigns again... :D
