ETA: For people arriving here via direct links, this post is in reference to my previous post here. /ETA

I offered to re-post the comments deleted from the top of this page by tnh so here they are.

Comments

I responded to Anna (she and Ellen Fremedon are making what I hope are sensible points that TNH will pay attention to) after your comments were deleted. link

Apparently, though, I'm not a very good reader, because I didn't parse an apology out of PNH's comments on the Copracat thread, nor find his comments clarifying.

[spiralsheep]

I know I'm trying to be as polite as possible on this post, as I was in the comments of tnh's post but your comment made me laugh:

"Well, no, not really: since if Spiralsheep *had* responded to TNH here, TNH would have deleted it. As it's on Spiralsheep's journal, anyone can read it, assuming they can find it."

/is easily amused

I'm probably a terrible reader from a writer's point of view because I have this annoying habit of engaging with text and responding to it.

Hush, you! With your insidery knowledge! ;-)

[electricwitch]

Oh geez. Are they telling you off for being nice to them?

[spiralsheep]

Possibly? I'm mostly still boggling at the idea that my comment saying "Okay" required deletion. o_O

[vito_excalibur]

It really says something, doesn't it. :/

BTW, hi: friending you, if that's all right.

[spiralsheep]

I FEEL LIKE TROTSKY!!1!! ::is erased::

::pre-emptively "friends" you::

I follow reccing links to your lj regularly to read one or another of your posts and, hey, "what these people need is a honky" will never stop being funny.

[spiralsheep]

Hello! ::waves::

I appreciate your thoughfulness in asking but as far as I'm concerned any public post on my journal is linkable.

[nextian]

... So why in God's name did she delete yours and leave mine up?

[spiralsheep]

I could presume an answer to that question but I have no evidence on which to base it and so I shall refrain. ::sings a happy refrain::

[nextian]

I'm clinging with both hands to the fact that Tempest was left on. Otherwise ... yeah, what you didn't say.

[spiralsheep]

Argh, no! It appears that I should say because that wasn't what I was thinking!

It's possible that my comments violated some unspoken etiquette that neither you nor I know about and, if so, okay then cos it's tnh's space and her rules apply but I'm actually guessing that I was already on her, ahem, "blacklist" since this comment:

For which my explanation, not that I feel it needed an explanation until mac_stone locked/deleted the context is here:

And my piss-taking attitude is explained here:

And... I'll get my coat.... ;-)

Oh my God. Is annafdd complaining about tone?

Seriously, I'm so sick of this shit.

[spiralsheep]

She's filled a lot of bingo squares during this discussion but my personal NO!meter reached red levels of FAIL when she was telling Actual Brown People (tm) that she was a White Ally (capitalised) and they should be silent because she knew better than they did about anti-racism.

[la_vie_noire]

YES. THAT. Oh God, 'YOU AREN'T MAKING THE WHITE POWERFUL LADY LISTEN TO YOU.'

[spiralsheep]

To be fair: a quick peek at her journal indicates she might be suffering from mental health problems at the moment. I'm sure she means well but she's still in 101, and if the comments in her journal are anything to go by then her friends keep trying to drag her back. :-/
