my favorite thing in the universe other than free publicity, are the fatheaded bitches who are providing me with it.

you and your friends are taking things out of context and personally attacking ME, and not my writing in obscene and gratuitous ways.

you do not have permission to quote my writing. You are welcome to link to my entire post.

I'll gladly share my occupation and professional affiliation, as well as my personal experience with you in a private email correspondence. At the moment I do not trust the mob, and would prefer not to have anything exposed to them.
feel free to email me. my email is on my info page.

I will try to accommodate your wishes in my posts. I cannot modify comments, so those will stay as written.

I have to say, however, that the reason you find yourself enjoying such unexpected popularity is not entirely due to my post, but because people could not tear away from your writing. I link to LJ entries here and there, usually without any great brouhaha. To produce such an explosive effect, the post itself has to be... compelling.

the popularity is nether unexpected nor unwanted. You are by far not the worst offender but I have absolutely no interest in dealing with the other one simply because she is on a solid course of self destruction and is completely useless either as a correspondent in this matter or a human being. You on the other hand, seem to have retained some basic tenets of a person who is on some level trying to understand and possibly work on the issue, not just spew bile of various colors at everything around you, though you came pretty close.

your efforts to accommodate my wishes have been insufficient.
please refrain from further discussions with me until you are capable of acting with slightly more integrity.

All right, let me try - I was hoping you will help me with modifying the first post by giving me some idea of how you want me to present your professional affiliation,. Let me try to do it without your help then.

I have now removed all references to your professional affiliation other than "CPS insider", which I would think is accurate. If you would like me to re-write that in some way, I don't mind. Let me know.

alisa_ivanovna April 26 2008, 16:50:56 UTC
no, it is not accurate. and I have not seen any email to you.
I am as far from being a CPS insider as you are from being a gourmet cook on a space shuttle.

Look, I don't mind characterizing your professional affiliation in your own words. Why don't you suggest the changes, and I will most likely implement them.

I need some guidance - my two previous efforts are not good enough for you, and I am out of ideas.

"YOU DON'T MIND" ??????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

how thick are you?
you have no right or business to write ANYTHING about me.

this is about my thoughts and ideas, NOT ABOUT ME.

you are not my autobiographer, and you are not authorized to discuss me. You are allowed to LINK TO MY POST. that's it.

Alisa, I would like to take a few days off this discussion with you.

You need to cool off, and you need to start respecting people. My posts linking to your writing were polite, and contained no insinuations. There may be a misstatement of where you work, which you are free to correct. I am willing to modify the post to correct factual errors, but what you are engaging in right now is not dialogue.

"WOULD YOU WANT THIS CPS WORKER TO COME TO YOUR KIDS' BIRTHDAY PARTY???!!!!" [insert picture of alisa ivanovna here].

you call this respect?

if you do, I'd prefer taking a few decades off of dialogue with you. Keep everything the way it is. all the idiots who get a kick out of momentary sensationalism will get their kicks, and since very few people out there seem to be bothered about the fact that they are getting their kicks at the expense of others, anyone will integrity will form their own opinion about you, and everyone else is of no interest to me.

But just as a side note, if I were a CPS worker, and if you did have a kid playing alone in the sandbox, and if someone DID call CPS on you, you would pray to every deity you can conjure up in your overactive imagination that it was I, or someone just like me, who came to your house to investigate.

The fact that I would have to pray to a diety (instead of trusting the system to do the right thing) should a CPS agent stop by the house is what this discussion is all about to begin with.

And really, this is not about YOU. ;-) This is about about the CPS culture as a whole. This is about any adult who not only feels comfortable working for that organization in sound mind and spirit, but is moreover cavalier about an "occasional" unsubstantiated removal of children from their home in the name of the greater good.

I think many of my readers did not realize the kinds of attitudes common among CPS workers, and you were kind enough to write them down. The conclusions my readers come to are not actually uniform - quite a number were reassured by your post. The rest, especially parents of young children, feel ambivalent. Unfortunately, I cannot help you there as I share their feelings.

If you are going to be enlightening your readers on CPS culture as a whole, why don't you get an actual CPS worker's perspective?

ant_fugue April 26 2008, 23:45:36 UTC
"Yes, most people who work with or for or around CPS think along the lines that I do."

(I hope it's all right to quote your writing within your own LJ - if not, please feel free to screen the comment)

If at some point I find a CPS worker blog that going into their decision-making and attitudes, I will likely link it from my page also.

it doesn't answer my question.

the "thinking" I am referring to in my comment is that every child has a right to be safe.

Somehow, thanks to the tireless efforts of you and your friends I am getting the impression that people are going to be scaring their children to behave or I will come get them in the middle of the night. Sharing perspective is one thing. Creating a scapegoat, making up lies, allowing cruel and incompetent bashing of the people whose very words you are using to boost your popularity is gratuitously indecent.

If you consider the chrolonology of the past few days, you will realize that there is certainly no abuse of your post for LJ popularity going on ( ... )
