Jeez.

I... I don't know what to say anymore.  Am I not allowed to post personal feelings about someone in my LJ?  I realize that I've been coming off as a bad person, and I... I'm sorry.  I really am.  I would like to clear up a something, please.

I did not make my posts about giving away the Death Note board game files to harrass anyone, especially the

The internet seems to give so many people the guts to say or do some things that they never would do in real life. It also gives you the option to be a total bitch in return without retribution.

*hug* Just don't let 'em get to you.

This isn't any of my business, but I am going to post a comment anyway.
Just don't let people get to you, dollface. If you had your ex friend's permission, then there is nothing wrong. You aren't posting her art, like she asked, so therefore there is nothing wrong. You also posted the fact that you had her help in making the board game, so you are not claiming the idea as your own.
If people keep sending you negative comments, just ignore them. Don't waste your time on them.

I hope things turn out well in the end.

Thank you. I know internet drama can turn into a massive, sucking force, and that it takes a lot sometimes to step back and ignore things. It's when I see people making mocking, spiteful posts about stuff they've heard second-hand, and watching them receive all the sympathy and agreements, and not being able to defend myself. I guess they could argue I did the same thing, but I really never thought I did. Sigh. This is all very tiring. Thanks again, friend.

Meg has apologised. Over and over and over again. But it never seems to be enough of an apology, and that's really getting to me, because both of them are my friends and I hate seeing this happen. There were extreme overreactions on both sides.

I though Z quit Y!hosting because 1)Creepy stalker from school found her and 2)This drama started up and she figured Meg had somehow destroyed her reputation as an artist because of a journal Meg made in the heat of the moment, then deleted, posting a new journal taking back those statements and explaining that it was a miscommunication.

Internet-connected strangers are fickle and impressionable. That's the way it goes--we stand by the person that we know against the person that we don't, and assume the former is the victim. I saw comments when this drama went down about what a horrible person Meg must be and how Zeda is better off without someone so petty, etc etc, from people who never met her or saw the two together. Either way, most folk only got one side of the story (from either

Joining a Death Note public community to accuse her and try to make profit with her game isn't my idea of a good apology. Is it yours? Would you really accept that as an apology? Do you honestly can't see why Zeda-chan would be hurt

I wouldn't ever think poorly of you for maintaining a neutral stance on a disagreement that's taking place between two friends. If anything, that reflects a certain desire to recognize where both parties are coming from, and I think that such a desire to maintain and cultivate your own opinion is good. I want you to know that I don't think poorly of you for it.

However, I also want you to know that, whether you intended to cheer Meg up or not, comparing me to Azula hurt. We've never professed to knowing each other very intimately, of course, but I would have thought that you'd recognize that comparing me to a character who's baselessly murderous and ends-up the series practically foaming at the mouth and thrashing like an animal in chains is fundamentally wrong. I'm not mad at you for it, and I'm not trying to guilt you or accuse you of anything by saying this, but I just wanted you to know that I felt that way. You're still someone that I consider a friend, even if we don't chat very often since school let out, and I want you to
