Susan, I tried sending you a DM, but you closed that possibility. I hope this gets to you.

Please don't take this badly, but I don't think that it's fair to punish all your friends on the basis of the behavior of one person. Why not defriend or ban that person from ever responding or posting to your entries?

In the couple of years I've gotten to know you, I really learned to like you and even learned a few things that I never knew about (e.g., Geoffrey Rush). I will really miss you.

Just to show you how much I care, I typed this whole message on my iPhone's keyboard, which is a truly sucky keyboard.

Your friend, Edith.

Thanks, Edith. I'm sorry, I don't mean to punish anyone. I believe you have other means to contact me if you wish. I only want to avoid LiveJournal for my own sanity as this person has been very cruelly bullying me knowing how to strike right where it hurts, and deep, and I don't want the discussion and drama she stirred up to continue, even with her banned from my journal. It turns out it was NOT a misunderstanding after all; she truly does hate me, will not open her mind and listen to anything I say, and is instead purposely twisting my words and using them to mock and bully me. To hear my friends (and, frankly, I'm not even sure who my friends are anymore) defending her makes it hurt all the more

PS: I'm not sure what a "DM" is? I've never used LJ messenger cuz I couldn't figure out how it worked and it was full of spam all the time. I finally put a note in my "Welcome" entry to alert people that they can't reach me that way.
