        Pay no attention to Gravel Gertie.  When you come upon a post by Gert or the other one, Angeltop,  just turn the music up loud and sing along until you get to the next post.

        Merry Christmas to Bonnie Braids, Moon Maid, Tess Trueheart, Honey Moon, Sparkle Plenty and to all of you, too.

              Squishy text now?  Sherlock, did you also do a search to check if I've ever typed any of the words before? Tedious. Any  long term poster knows all you have to do is type text in an off-site program and paste it here. Oooooh, I wonder who that can be?  You are becoming as irrational as the rest of your tag team. Using your logic, this must mean that you are claiming ownership of all the non-squishy anonymous text?  You can put down your Bassett Hound and magnifying glass…I am not responsible for all the past or future anon posts that use *words*  or the bold type option either .

              Ever turn your mirror on yourself ? No matter the topic-you and yours are determined to view my words out of context , using any opportunity to apply a false intention or unkind motive – using anything to accomplish your goals. Linda, besides acting like a pesky harpy- you are always trying too hard. During your latest run I've hit upon who you remind me of…Igor in Frankenstein- the sniveling, smarmy , hand-wringing lackey. You seem to take similar pride in following your friends around and striking out.

              It's obvious your circle believes you few are the supreme, valuable / giving members of the social group and you must monitor and direct all interaction here. The only behavior you don't police is your own. We have quite a few Stg4 people here who post like hellions ( some of them 20+ years Stg.4) and *I* am not the only one who respond to them in kind. Funny, but I've never seen you jump and take exception or try to shame any of these responders after they post their snark to a Stage 4. Where are you when these patients are being responded to harshly? Unless it's me-nothing. You couldn't be more hypocritical if you tried. You can also save your faux apology and sarcastic show of concern. If ever in need -you and your group of vindictive, self-satisfied pot-stirrers would be the last place I would turn for help. You are the least self-aware people I've ever had the misfortune to encounter— constantly demanding respectful posting while chumming up every opportunity to  post disrespect of your own. 

               Again,  I'm done responding to your 'good works' , so PLEASE have the last word- nothing I like better than foiling "Barbiedoll and her plastic friends." Have a super-de-dooper weekend, Igorina !

              p.s- oh, I can't let this slide…as to your snarky disdain about my  reasons for involvement in the board, I'm a Melanoma patient, with friends and family with Melanoma—posting about the dismissal and nasty treatment  of early stage patients isn't "fun and games" to me any more than your causes are to you.

                     As I mentioned, it was important to me so I made certain that I would remember as this has come up before, obviously. I have looked at the mess-it was *Darkness* and *Miss Kitty* posting. I responded to them- not to you. This has nothing to do with image, being right, telling you how wrong you were . How many times can someone assure you they are sorry for your pain and had no intention of hurting you? 
                     
                    My apology and explanation are inconvenient for your purpose right now, and it always comes in handy, when complaining, to conveniently forget the form of the Darkside – it wasn't about taking issues seriously. It was a place where we let our hair down, said outrageous things and attempted to look at situations humorously. Many people specifically posted their "creations" to stim conversations…poems included. Hardly a sensitive, lovely place for the suffering and that wasn't the board's  purpose.  
                     
                    I wasn't *scolding*  Miss Kitty or Darkness, I was participating in what was often a Darkside lark…as we all did until it became the place other patients came to complain about what went on there. You decided to take it seriously, my response was the normal type for the board- waiting for another bus to come along was my attempt at lighter mood and humor.  I can do no more now to convince you than I did then…

                     ** told you I was very sorry for your pain

                    ** explained that my comments were not directed at you

                    ** told you who they were directed toward *

                    * why I commented the way I did and

                     that there was a danger of misinterpretation when coming to the Darkside as it was not the place for the sensitive. Only the sensitive  themselves knew if they could handle it and they came at their own risk. The Darkside was clearly the place vulnerable people should have avoided- but many people there  were apologetic if feelings were inadvertently hurt- including me, to you, at the time.

                     LV,  this is the last of me trying to right a wrong I didn't commit. My sympathy for your loss is real, but my patience with your insistence I have no sympathy has hit my limit. I'm going to spend the evening relaxing. You, and anyone else who decides to jump on, can snark away ( please have the last word…Barbie just hates it when she can't accuse me of it )

                    and if you were, how was I to know that?

                    You most certainly have witnessed the propensity of some of our members to
                    express their lonely heart dating sentiments on the board, and there is
                    the history of that goo you may not be aware of. I merely addressed the
                    poem as more of the same.

                    Therein lies the danger of visiting the ugly board when you are in a vulnerable state. It can be too
                    upsetting, especially when comments are taken out of context. Only you can know, or be responsible to, your situation or state of mind when

                          Colorful word  that *castrating*…stopping them from producing (additional children,posts), hurting them, taking away their ability to pass on their "essence"…I liked it.

                          Yea, it's pretty harsh , but you're perfectly within your right to soften the rhetoric if that serves your view of the situation- obviously.

                                We went over this bit of nastiness from the Darkside over and over again and despite how many times I've tried to explain that my post was in reponse to a love-lorn post by a Miss Kitty (if *memory* serves) ,  that it was misinterpreted, as many times as it was explained to you by others who knew the context and noted the times of posting ( as was shown clearly on the Darkside posts), you refused to accept that I wasn't insulting you.
                                 
                                I was not insulting you -my post wasn't about you, it wasn't in response to your post to Miss Kitty ( your post came after mine)it was commenting on the love-lorn nature of the Miss Kitty's poem : " get over it -…another bus was going to come along" …every pot has a lid, plenty of fish in the sea. I wouldn't be this callous and tell a new widow to forget it and get man-hunting… the fact you always try to portray me as such a hateful character says a lot about what happens here. Refusing to agree with your misinterpretation doesn't mean I won't own up to something I have done. I will apologize when I've done something wrong, but won't accept blame for things I haven't done. I did not insult you or try to hurt you.
                                After you refused to accept many other's explanations, and those looking for any opportunity to mix it up ( as was the purpose of the Darkside) joined in, it became apparent it was impossible and was no longer about the original misunderstanding. Haters gotta hate as my child often tells me when people cannot be reasoned with as seemed to be the case. I apologized — my post was misinterpreted and it wasn't my intention, but it was without accepting the blame for insulting you- because I DID NOT. That wasn't good enough. I am not going to admit to doing something I did not no matter how invested anyone was in portraying me in that light.
                                 
                                It also works the opposite, LV. Just because you don't agree with my opinion or statements… doesn't make them wrong or invalid. Despite what you think, this event was important to me and I made certain I would remember it.
