The person who is, at this point, removed from both our friend's lists. They were not fully familiar with the situation. This was not the best way to go about it. I am so pissed off, right now, I can't give you more "calm" so I will end my comment.
Not off of mine, yet. I'm being polite and letting her respond for likely another day.
After that . . . how in the hell would I ever feel comfortable having her where she can see locked posts if she's going to go running off to one of the poeple I'm *talking* about?!?!?
Wow. I mean, there can be reason to screencap or save a f-locked entry of someone else's (long story), but you don't go sharing that, reposting it, or emailing it to all and sundry.
Honey I'm so sorry. I wish I knew what to say, but I've got no idea. It's horrible that this mess is going on in the first place and even more horrible that the drama just got amped up by a third party.
I think that Bear Cub is old enough to decide where and with whom she wants to live now, isn't she? In Florida I'm pretty sure that the age is 12.
Lots of hugs to you and yours. Not very helpful but all I got.
TN child custody law is a bloody pain in the rear to go through, but from what we've been able to find, then yeah, it's pretty much up to her at this age. The only way it isn't (as far as I can tell) is if there's a problem that would make it a bad idea. Which is where the current disagreement lies.
-thud- I mean, it's not like the three of us are frickin' gypsies or anything! (Insert disclaimers galore here, most of which boil down to: If you're a gypsy, please don't sue my ass.)
I haven't yet read the aforementioned entry -- my girlfriend is visiting so I've been a bit lacking in keeping up with the flist :P -- but that's just so not okay.
What? Who are you and why are you suggesting bodily harm (presumably toward me)? I don't think I've ever met you online or in person, although I could certainly be mistaken.
For what it's worth, since you've locked me out of replying to the post in question, here's my response (http://chaiya.livejournal.com/549176.html), which is locked to the same filter (the five of you, plus Warin's two sibs on my flist, plus my husband).
I really am sorry you see it this way, Naomi. And I'm sad that you've decided to include me in your us-versus-them mentality, which makes me Evil and Wrong, instead of trying to hear what I have to say. That is your right, of course. I still wish you all well, although I think much less of you since you and Louis started heaping all this public and private abuse upon me. You can be really quite venomous.
I am certainly fallible. However, I honestly have no idea why you'd have a grudge against me, and you'd think I would remember if I've done something to deserve physical violence ... Perhaps you're confusing me with someone else?
As for the current storm with Naomi et al, I have tried to communicate further with the parties concerned, the people who actually matter in this discussion. I doubt I'll ever be able to discuss it with any of her friends, who now think that I have posted her words to the web, or some similar transgression (which is, I repeat, not what I did). And it's sad that a number of you have attacked me for this apparent transgression, while barking at me about stepping in where I'm not welcome or don't fully understand the situation.
Ultimately, hopefully everyone will calm down and realize that I am not the enemy, that I am not evil or whatnot. If the general masses never get that far, I will care less, but I hope Scott, Naomi, and Louis do get there. And if they don't, well, that's sad, but I can't change that.
No, dear, you're the one who's easily led confused, not me. You inserted yourself into a situation which you clearly know nothing about, and made it exponentially worse, and you don't have the grace to apologize, but are instead defending your actions? Get over yourself, and go meddle somewhere else.

Date: 2007-06-08 10:09 pm (UTC)Commenting publicly about something in a locked post is crass and stupid. Rather like commenting on a comments-locked post. Gauche.

And then posted in her LJ, same folks on that lock.
No, not public. But just as bad, as far as the resultant 'boom' is going to be.

Date: 2007-06-10 08:22 pm (UTC)do you actually know what “kneecapping (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kneecapping)” is?
if so, do you mean what you just wrote, or are you shooting your mouth off in order to make
omimouse feel better?
