Yep-thats me, for the most part anyway, sometimes my fingers will get away from my brain and I will post something I regret though. This has been a very busy year for me. Snowleopard was a true genius and like so many of them she was crazy, at least IMO. Bigeasysnow seemed like good people to me though we never interacted much.

BES was just one of those people who attracted drama, even though she didn't invite it. i suspect most of it came from the pointy elbows brigade, who wanted to prove that they would indeed talk shit to a pretty girl. it's a shame--she had a lot to say, but it kinda got lost behind the 'pretty girl' label that got stapled to her around here. that must have been tiresome for her. her perspective is missed. dan...i don't know about dan. he could be loud and obnoxious, but you need that kind of energy at any party.

She is doing just fine, too, and regularly says to tell you hello, Jane. Some folks have odd reactions to pretty girls, especially smart ones with a brash internet persona.

I'd be one hard sneeze away from a stroke if I was being confused with Snowleopard. You could run a pressure washer off my BP. It's funny, but I'm not at all offended. Thinking back, I wonder I was so hard on her because she reminded me of my own oddities and social shortcomings. She may have been annoying at times, and she may not have had the best grip on reality, but she never fought back or got ugly. She (or he) took the abuse with a lot more class than I would have. |

I used to feel like I fit in here with paranoid gun nuts, but it seems like there's been a trend towards normalcy in the arfcom populace. These folks don't shower with a gun under a towel next to the tub, they don't give fake names for baristas to mark on their cups because of persec. And they want everything to be light and positive.

hmmm...never saw anything from snowleopard that i thought of as genius--she just struck me as an odd bird. but we didn't cross paths much, so i'll take your word for it. BES was just one of those people who attracted drama, even though she didn't invite it. i suspect most of it came from the pointy elbows brigade, who wanted to prove that they would indeed talk shit to a pretty girl. it's a shame--she had a lot to say, but it kinda got lost behind the 'pretty girl' label that got stapled to her around here. that must have been tiresome for her. her perspective is missed. dan...i don't know about dan. he could be loud and obnoxious, but you need that kind of energy at any party. While I think she had something to contribute, I'm not sure I agree with that highlighted part. Didn't she have some sort of club devoted to leg humpers who were lining up to be her minions? Again, not saying that she didn't have something to offer the site, but IMO she had a hand in inviting some of the drama. The minions never caused the drama. z |

There were three ways to handle the minion situation: 1. Ignore it and go on with life. 2. Participate on some level. 3. Get angry about it and lash out. If anyone lashed out, it wasn't for anything you did. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:
