Passionflower, you can ascribe what motives you like to me

Of course I wanted the people who've had so much to say on this issue to read the idea I raised.   I also wanted to take the focus away from the discussions that have focused so closely and negatively on individuals. What is the big deal about that?

If I wanted clicks so badly, I first would have tried posting more than three times in the past month ;-)

Azur...your posts relates to the events of this past week

And You know as well as I that people will click on it simply because of your headline. Around here we call that a "Click Whore"...most of us who are one wear the name proudly and dont pretend we're doing our deeds for the good of mankind.

Passionflower, you'll need to elaborate on the word for people like me

We both want things to settle down but have completely different approaches. You'll need to explain to me too how my post that raised the idea of a rapid suspension policy is in  the same category as posts that discuss individuals and speculate on their intentions and state of mind?  I don't understand how so many people can presume to know what is going through the minds of others.

 If we had a suspension policy that I posted about much of what happened recently would have been avoided.

Azur....Don't get on your "High-Horse" with me!

I just saw your post....You're just as guilty as the next guy now...at least I knew the people who were involved and was only trying to help things to settle down some.

You're just posting your crap for the clicks...they have a name for people like that.

There is much talk of letting it go and moving forwards

but little evidence here. Nor has the whistle blown on the blame game, it's plays on with the spotlight on others.

Passionflower,

Your argument is ludicrous. I wasn't here - true, but I spent all of Tuesday reading everything available. I saw the viciousness. I saw the kindness. I agreed with Blogit's decision to ban.

You can ask me not to post on this (better than demanding it, as you've done elsewhere), but the answer's no. No, I will not shut up. This is not just about the weekend, this is about the state of Blogit that led to it. This is about the future.

Oh yes, there are 'bad guys' in this, but they were hidden in amongst many other innocents and helpers who got hurt. By saying 'all of US', you're trying to set me against a much larger group - you're trying to demonize me as a 'blamer' in the same way Corbin Dallas has done.

No-one disputes the hurt Blanche caused at the end. No-one disputes the banning. But everyone should be concerned about continuing the discussion on this. The discussion will decide whether we're a civilised society or a mob-led anarchy.

I think others have said this and I agree...If Dave is really Blanche's

friend then he needs to focus on helping Blanche as best as he can.  The blame game is not helping any of us.  What's done is done and pointing fingers will not change it.

posted by shelly_b on December 13, 2006 at 9:31 PM | link to this | reply

Azur...I appreciate your opinion...but I believe Dave is only

Expressing his opinion in order to keep the whole mess going...He loves to get into shouting matches with people. He's a bully. He doesn't care as much about who is right and who was harmed as much as he does about making his own voice heard loud and clear....

That's my opinion for what it's worth....it all comes down to motive...some of us just want to let it go and move forward and some want to keep harping simply because they love the sound of their own voice.

Again, IMO, Shelly Blackcat and Ariala never responded to her harrassments as severely as many others would have. They did try to get along.

They didn't just lay down and become someone's doormat. I hope you don't think they should have done that. You certainly wouldn't have and neither would anyone else around here.

She could have CHOSEN to leave them alone and they wouldn't have ever said a word about her or to her. She kept the shit stirred up bec something in HER
 just could NOT let it go.

Passion, forget it!!!

She used that mean, nasty, "pet name" when she would attack the three of us.  It always got me angry and upset.  She wasn't just attacking me when she started that crap but my friends as well.  Of course, none of us deserved that kind of treatment.  I remember when she first used that name.  She said some AWFUL stuff about us.

Too me, it's not a joke and NOT funny.  I want that name out of blogit forever!

posted by shelly_b on December 13, 2006 at 9:12 PM | link to this | reply

It is hideous when threats are made against you even when you know

 But  really, the demonizing of people that is occurring here is appalling and has got to stop. There are people who Blanche despised and people who despised her right back. Such feelings can be expressed in all sorts of ways - aggressively, insidiously, occasionally or often.

 It is somehow being cast here as all being one-sided and I believe that is disingenous. Blanche's life unraveled in the past week and all of the talk of terrorism seeks to do is demonize her. She is plagued by her own demons far worse than any harm she can inflict on any of us.

And now we see the start of Dave being demonized  because he is calling what he sees. Indeed, it shows how seriously his words are taken if there is a request for him not to post them. It seems incredible that people think others should shut up but keep talking themselves.

I believe that no one knew more than Blanche of the challenges she faced and she did say more than once about how it made her feel when  people made light of mental illness. Unfortunately her fears were not groundless. People do make light of it.

I don't like the fact that Joe and Dave can so easily

Dismiss what Blanche did and forgive her and even blame her victims....to me, it's like telling a rape victim that it was her fault because she dressed in a pair of shorts and a tank top.

It puts the responsibility on the victims and releases the perpetrator from any guilt.

I personally block all those who like to stir up trouble and constantly try to find someone to bicker with....it's childish and I won't stand for it in my blogs.

You're probably right about that one, Passion. . ,

Shelly...there's not use arguing with Joe.

He ACTUALLY BELIEVES he speaks for all of us because he thinks he knows how we feel -

Though I believe each of us has done our best to show him that he's wrong and doesn't understand how we feel or what we think, he nonetheless persists.

Joe, I don't watch soaps. Terrorist or not...I don't trust her.

You don't have to be a terrorist to make a death threat or to say you are going to blow up a building.  I don't care who you are, if you make a threat like that, you are a dangerous person!

Shelly, you've been watching too much All My Children.

All I'm pointing out is that the good ole folks at blogit didn't say bye-bye blanche because they thought she was a terrorist.  That's a bit ridiculous.  They got rid of her because she was disturbing the peace and threatening losing clients.

Joe, this is not funny. A death threat was made...

She wanted to see someone die!  A person who doesn't deserve it!  THREATS of any kind should be checked out immediatley, IMO.  I don't live in NY but this frighted me as well.   I don't know Blanche but I know she has an illness and  because of her background, who knows what else she could do.

LOL Offbeats not in my front yard

though the neighbors chickens like to visit my front door , I told them the next time they show up on my porch I am having a nice chicken dinner!

The cow blocks one particular road here and that is when their damn goats aren't in the road.  These people shouldn't be allowed to have animals because they don't take care of them.  Anyway, Daisy and I have had our go rounds because she refuses to move and I refuse to let her block me so we usually stand in the road and make noises at one another LOL!

Blackcat

all I can say is I am grateful that I missed that part and I am so very sorry that you had to endure it.  For what it's worth in the state she was in, it is unlikely that she is even capable of getting herself out anywhere and the last I heard she was still under the care of professionals.  I suspect that with a break to this degree they will see it quickly and deal with it accordingly.

Passion

I love you dearly so before I even say this, I just wanted to clarify that:

It's interesting how many people misunderstand that people from small towns live with the same fears and concerns as anyone else, the difference is this:  We learn to rely upon ourselves and our neighbors.  I live in a town of 3000 yet we have meth labs going up all over the place, I live next door to one of the most abusive and scary human beings I have ever met, while we don't have many we have had locals murdered in the past few years in their own homes.  I live close enough to the big city that I know only too well the dangers.  We are seldom naive and most of us at one time lived in the bigger cities.  I lived and around the Ann Arbor areas for a long time, I moved to the country in hopes of giving my children a safer place to go to school and I still lock my car door when I get in the car, I don't leave my home unlocked and I hide in the corner of the window as Pam waits for the bus because she needs to be independent and I need to know she is OK.  We all try to escape the dangers of the city but in truth it never goes away.  We aren't naive we are just a bit different from the big city because we make a point of knowing our neighbors, we take care of one another in these little towns and as much as I hate having a stinking cow block the road, I know who to go yell at when it happens because I know the damn cow!

I know to most small town people seem very removed from real life, but believe me we are very tuned in because we want to preserve our way of life and little by little we are losing it due to the crime that is finding it's way in.

It would have sent a chill down my spine, too. . . , as I imagined her

peddling across the country on her bicycle (as she claimed to not have a dime to her name) to blow up the building I lived in.

By the way, ladies, I do agree with you.  But, I'm not going to play into the melodrama of Blanche being a terrorist.  Sorry, that's just a bit too much.  Now, if you're going to say she went around spewing viscious, vile names, yeah, I agree with you. . , and don't like it.

posted by Joe_Love on December 13, 2006 at 7:40 PM | link to this | reply

Thank you for speaking up Blackcat...

I feel the same way...we can't laugh a thing like that off like it's nothing...just a joke. If it had happened to any one of us, I know we would have felt the same as you.

I'm hoping everyone will do this...just ignore Dave and his ranting and whoever else writes about it.

posted by Passionflower on December 13, 2006 at 7:36 PM | link to this | reply

to answer one question here...

about how I felt when I read the threat.... well, the moment I read that comment, it sent a cold chill down my spine.  There was no laughter inside of me.  No one in NYC would ever take that as a joke.  This was a credible threat having come from someone who admittedly loathed me and had repeatedly lashed out and abused me for the last year.  It didn't surprise me that she wished me dead, but yes, it scared the crap out of me.

Not once did I ever report her, but this was the final straw.  I will tell you this much, if there was an ounce of my personal information on this website, I would have quit that very day.  I still fear my for my friends that aren't as anonymous as me. 

I do not intend to address this issue again.  I'm planning to bury it and ignore as much as possible from this point forward, no matter what anyone says.

I would love to volunteer work for the Salvation Army, but after hearing where one of the workers got shot while working for a soup kitchen, I'm simply unwilling to.

When driving, I don't trust ANY other driver on the road.  Not one of them.  I never assume.

And, I always question sincerity and motives.

And, just to get the record straight.  I can honestly tell you that I didn't like some idiot posting about offbeats and the dallas cowboys, and I can honestly tell you I didn't like a warped individual calling blackcat a "chunt".  And, I can honestly tell you that I didn't like some idiot threatening others about their opinions about soldiers (whether right or wrong) and threatening to "contact Brian at Blogit".  And, I didn't like her attacking Ariala.  And, I didn't like her attacking Taps.  etc etc etc

In the world we live in, you have to be on your guard all the time

From danger, Joe.

In my business I see people like you all the time. You live out in the 'burbs' where there's no real threat of crime and you quickly forget what a dangerous world we live in until some major storm comes and takes away everything you own and you're living down at the Red Cross shelter eating MRE's.

It's a big reality check. You suddenly remember that the whole world isn't going to bed with full tummies tonight.

Suddenly it dawns on you that alot of people have never owned their own home and never will. It makes you see the world the way it really is...not some "Norman Rockwell" view of it.

IN the real world, when someone with mental illness who has spent time in jail and in a psyche ward tells you that she's coming to your city to blow up the building where you work, you'd better damn well take it seriously!

I asked Blanche about two weeks ago "Do you need some more rope, Blanche?"  That's about all I said to her.  All that needed to be said.

Understand, Passion. . , I'm not being confrontational whatsoever.

I'm just being honest about what was running through my mind as I watched all of this going on.

I can't help but wonder WHAT was actually going through each person's mind when he/she saw individual comments drift scroll through the lobby.  From what I've observed, most of the women here are very thick-skinned, and I can't imagine many of them being "afraid" of anything or truly "offended" by much of anything they had seen here.

What "actually" went through your mind when you saw some of the incidents?

I know with me, it was "omg" and "this is gonna get good". LOL

As far as the banning thing goes. . , of course the community has to rid itself of people who chase off potential new members.  It would be unhealthy not to.

Joe, I'm sure if the authorities saw that comment they look at it as

I guess I don't see your point Joe.....

I cared about Blanche...but she DID hate and badger Shelly, Offbeat, and BC for months before this incident.

At any time she could have backed off, stopped doing it, settled down, etc.

As far as the terrorism thing goes, none of us can say whether she's really capable of that...I don't think you or I know for sure. People climb towers at colleges and kill innocent students all the time these days.

People who were normal, average adults that no one suspected. Blanche has a history of mental illness plus she has been in jail. I think you have to take threats about blowing up a bdlg serious when they're uttered by someone with her history.

Joe, I guess everyone was shocked when she said that she

Wanted to come to NYC and blow up the bdlg where BC works. All of us get nervous about these sort of threats because of 9-11.

Why is "death threat" continually being the spin concerning this event?

Maybe 1 or 2 complaining to Blogit referred to "death threat", but I would say the reason she was banned was due to vulgarity.

I'm sure if a death threat was made to him and his country, he would

have a different opinion about this, no?

I knew he would do this Taps...

But I thought if a few of us asked him to stop, he might listen. He's stubborn and bull-headed.

Passionflower, he is not going to leave it alone.  He has already promised more for tomorrow.  I wish he would change his mind.   I also hope that we all can leave it alone soon.

Bel, Dave said in his post that he had taken several hours

To read the posts of various bloggers so he could understand what happened. He didn't want to know the truth though.

Offbeat and Katschu...

I've heard that my predictions came true....I've heard that Dave DID write that post....and I've heard that he's been on Blogit all day stirring up more shit.

I personally hope he gets booted off too. He's a bully.

Warrior...I know Dave and I know how he behaves.

NO matter what I say or do, he will start a bunch of shit if he can. I thought I'd ask him NOT to do it....is that okay with you????

I wasn't involved in this mess (thank God), but I agree. Its time to let bygones be bygones and move on with our lives on blogit.

Passion

I also considered her my friend

and to say the least it was painful to watch someone who has such a beautiful way with words breakdown to the point that instead of expressing her pain in a healthy way she inflicted pain on others.  I do hope Dave takes the time to ask what really happened because even though I feel a great deal of compassion for Blanche what occured here had to be stopped as it had gotten completely out of control.

I don't really know what happened over the weekend

and I don't want to be seen as taking sides because I have no side to be on but my own but I do want to point out a couple things in this post.

First, what I'm learning about the weekend, I'm learning from this blog.  So I'm confused.  Do you want to let sleeping dogs lie or do want everyone else to leave it alone while you continue to go on about it?  Be honest, this is part of the click game, isn't it?  =)

Second, verbal assualts hurt?  Between my police work and my security gig dealing with drunks, if I was hurt by every slur said to me, I'd be a quivering pile of tears by now.
