Some ass hides behind anonymity and posts stuff about me in my wife's journal. Lovely, and so courageous. Tell you what... when you have been through what I've been through, I'll listen to your criticisms. Until then, you're standing there with a few snapshots in time and half the story, thinking you know what's what. Fuck off. You managed to catch me during the worst point ever in my life, and part of that drama took place right here. You wouldn't have looked any better, and you probably would have fared worse. Insanity is a sane response to an insane situation. Sometimes you just have to do what you have to do to make it through, and I'm not about to apologize for that.

Fuck 'em.

I, of course, have a completely unasked for perspective. If you're interested in it, drop me an email and I'll present it to you privately. And, for the record, it's not that it's "secret" or anything like that. Just my attempt to share my perspective on potential LJ drama and the perpetuation thereof. :-)

He's just compensating for his little dick, you've got to feel sorry for him. :-)

Not that there's anything wrong with a little dick, but it seems to bother men when they have 'em, so they resort to trying to look big and knowledgeable in cyber.

I missed those posts, but I won't bother going to find 'em, coz it's obvious what's what.

I hope Althaea's amused, at least.

i'm completely lost...and i don't mean at all to pry...in fact i don't think i want to know...i just would suggest turning off anonymous posting in your journals...you and your wife's and that way they can't pull crap like that...w/o facing the music...

and second...i send my support against the assholes of this world
(((((big hug)))))

I have anon off in mine... she keeps it on in hers because

?

Actually i don't know why. I think it has something to do with her Salon blog.

Check her out... althaea on LJ or Althaea Officinalis: MallowDrama. (the stuff on Salon is a subset of what is on her LJ... she mostly posts serious writing on Salon)

But thanks for the support.

well, that's smart on your part...
i'm sorry if this comes off cold...
but then, i can't feel too sorry for your wife...
if she wants to put herself out there for stupid idiots to comment in that manner...
yes, they really don't have a right...
and it is cowardly...
but if you keep posts open to the public on a public forum...
you have to deal with the stupid idiots...
sadly, this is the "world" we live in...
more stupid people then not!

i have anonymous posts turned on because i have readers who do not have LJ accounts. every time i have turned off anon in the past there has been an outcry from people who read me and can't comment when they want to.

as for this *one* particular post, i was asking that people leave anon posts, telling me what they think my negative aspects are. it's a meme that is going around, if you haven't seen it. a few decided to snark about my husband instead, and i reminded everyone that it was *me* who asked for the feedback, *not* him. some of my readers saw a more negative side of both of us during some marital problems we were having a year or so ago, and i guess a few people didn't realize that neither of us was at our best during that period. it's dealt with. life goes on.

and, by the way, i'm not asking anyone to feel sorry for *me*. i asked for the feedback, and most of what i was given is stuff that i think is probably true.

Like Real Live Preacher. I remember now. I knew it had something to do with Salon!

yeah, he's one. and that nice Russian lady who sent me virtually an entire garden of herbs for my birthday this year. :)

and a newly adopted girl who comes from a similar background, and whose adoptive father has her read my site so she doesn't feel so alone. that's pretty cool.

i didn't mean to come off insulting...
you have your reasons...
and as i told misterx i really didn't know what this post was about that got you flamed...
i just made a suggestion...
you have your reasons for keeping posts viewable and available for all comments...
but that is the risk we all take when we open ourselves up for other's interpretations via the web...
we can ask simple and straight forward questions and come back in awe of what we find...
b/c other's interpret things there own way...
and often can hurt in the process...
i'm happy things are working well for you both...
sometimes it's best to let the past be just that...
the past...
something to learn from and move on from...
however, everyone has opinions...
and just like everyone has an ass...
they like to share the stink!

be well...
