Going to war...

[agilebrit]

Figuratively speaking. Why, yes, I'm looking at ginmar again. Now, understand that I haven't looked at her or even thought about her much since my last entry about her. And then last night I start getting emails in my inbox from that entry. Note the date of the entry: Clear back in May. Apparently ginmar found this entry last night somehow (I'd love to

Good grief! This woman is extremely ill-mannered and unpleasant - and being in the armed forces is absolutely no excuse for the vitriolic profanities she is spilling all over your journal or the way she insulted both you and one of your friends. Being in the forces should surely have taught her some respect. My own views on the war in Iraq could well be seen as left-wing - it was a pointless invasion based on spurious non-information just about sums my views up - and I know that at times you and I are likely to have differing angles on things - but it is no excuse to go on like that! And if seeing mass graves has had the effect on her that it appears to have I think she should seek counselling. I should go and say so on the actual page I guess - but I'm probably too much of a coward to put up with her verbal diarrhoea.

And if she starts dropping f-bombs in my LJ again, I'll ban her butt. I'm actually rather embarrassed that I dropped on on that entry myownself last night, because I use that word maybe three times a year, but I was furious.

[curiouswombat]

I was brave after all, and have just put my head above the parapet - as you will have noticed if the e-mailing is working better than it was!!

[agilebrit]

Email's not working...or Yahell is being wonky and not telling me when I have mail--but I'm obsessively refreshing this post because I have nothing better to do, since the Muse has apparently gone into hiding. Having looked at the entry again, all I can say is, you go, girl! Good on you.

I haven't been involved in a kerfuffle in awhile. Heh.

That person is so crazy. What the hell is she angry about?

You said you admired her and wished her well.

All I can figure out is that she would have perfered you to have been brave/rude by attacking her on her lj becuase you're public post was cowardly. She's a nutcase.

I am tempted to make a post on my lj about how crazy I think she is to see if I can increase the number of comments on my lj. Right now the number is really low and it makes me look unpopular. If I can get this person to leave me 15 or so comments asking if I have seen mass graves and calling me a cowardly bitch it would increase my lj cred.

[agilebrit]

I think she's just angry in general. She'd like me to attack her in her own LJ because her 1203 minions could then attack ME. If I "attacked" her in her own LJ, she could call me a troll and ban me for a "reason." Why should I subject myself to that? I'm still in shock that she somehow found an entry from May and is angry about it.

[fikgirl]

I like that idea. I'm relatively low on comments too. Maybe everyone with low comments should just make a post about how psycho she is. :P

[kathleendoris]

you try it and if it works make a comment on my lj and then I'll do it.

[calliopes_pen]

Wow, that is insane. I originally friended her because I, also, wanted to see how she was doing in Iraq. I, also, defriended when things got a little too political.

She had no reason to go completely over the edge like she did. (And I'm trying to be nice--I could say something else, but I won't.) You did great in the way you tried to talk reason to her, but you shouldn't have had to go through that.

*Hugs you*

[agilebrit]

It was one thing if she had responded to me. But she didn't even answer the post; she answered the replies to the post. And the way she treated honorh was inexcusable. Gin owes her a huge apology.

*hugs back* Thanks.

[calliopes_pen]

I think I have an idea of how she managed to find your post. LJ Seek. It's the only thing I can come up with.

I did a test to see if it could go back far. With my username, it went back 3 months within 3 pages. There were a grand total of 10 pages, so maybe it goes back 6 months.

(Also, do you mind if I make a comment in my journal about this whole thing?)

[agilebrit]

Go right ahead. We've been OTF_Wanked. What more could happen? LOL

I used LJ Seek on my own name and came up with something like 18 pages, mostly my own icon posts. Whee! for vanity searches!

[kantayra]

*blinkety blink blink* Whoa! o.O

You know, I've had people insult me in their LJs before, and I've known about it. You know what I did? Nothing. Because they're entitled to think whatever they want of me, and they're allowed to say it in their own space, and it's really not worth my time to try to piss in their pool. But seriously... WTF? The gratuitous swearing just makes her look so very crazy. And, from what I can gather, I might have even agreed with her original viewpoint.

Also, since when is avoiding conflict 'cowardly'? I would have called it more 'mature'... This situation is so very strange to me. It does not seem to follow Earth Logic. o.O

[agilebrit]

And it was that whole thing I was trying to avoid by posting it on MY LJ rather than hers. I'm a much smaller fish than she is, and I figured she wouldn't even notice. And she didn't...at the time. Why she chose to visit it at this point in the game is anyone's guess.

[kantayra]

Why she chose to visit it at this point in the game is anyone's guess.

Maybe she ran LJ Seek on her username and found it? *shrug* Unless someone decided to tattle on you...six months later. o.O

[ludditerobot]

She's a big part of the reason I fear talking about politics on LJ. I unfriended her because she just got to caustic.

As you well know.

[agilebrit]

Yeah... You know what though? I'm not going to let other peoples' opinions stifle me on my own space. Anyone who reads my userinfo knows what they're getting into. But if she has a problem with ME, she should take it up with ME...not my friends who happen to comment on the post.
