Which, I can’t imagine why that would be? what with your charming habit of interrogating and bullying people and your generally lovely demeanor; still, at this point, you know, I’d think maybe you want to worry less about nectarine, and start worrying about, well…you.

unless of course having people eventually get fed up with your bullshit and turn and render you the way you’ve been doing them would just feed your sense of righteous martyrdom, in which case by all means, continue the way you’ve been going. No skin off -my- ass, heaven knows. I’ll just be over here with my pals and the popcorn, ‘k?

So, who you gonna terrorize and threaten now? Philomela? Someone else who has fled the fold? Me? Again…though I will say, I would advise against that. Some other random person who really would just prefer it if you ceased to exisit in their personal little corner of the universe…I mean really…you show up here HOW many months later? You can’t seem to type a response on a blog without mentioning at least one of the people supposedly involved in that little treaty, spewing shit and making up some more to follow that…and then you say other people have no life?

Smirk. Yeah, my “supposedly manicured” fingernails are flipping you off, right now, at this very moment!

And this? “Make sure you hide the evidence of your original attack by cloaking your blog so no one can see the evidence.” This coming from one of the dread collective hive queens of the deep, deep super secret bowels of genderberg where a bunch of lies (woo, marketing front) run rampant? FUCKING PRICELESS!

It really would be funny if it wasn’t so fucking sad, and, oh yeah, if it didn’t shread all over the emotions of people who used to think you were a friend and ally….there’s a life-experience I’m glad I missed…I mean, it sounds a lot like having a mother who just loved to shame and was never satisfied…and yep, I sure as hell can’t stop you from fucking around and bullying or attempting to “slag off” or intimidate some folk, but yep, I can observe it and keep a running commentary…after all, I’ve been there first hand, seen how you work, and I’m sure as hell not afraid or intimidated by you any more.

Oh, and if you do decide to threaten me again? Well Stormy…it won’t be pretty. And that is not a threat, merely a fact.

1) Write a critical post about someone

2) Hang out and be best buddies with the bloggers trashing radfems – in a sustained war that lasted six months, but latterly just radbashing posts every day or two.

3) Make sure you hide the evidence of your original attack by cloaking your blog so no one can see the evidence.

4) Act really really really surprised when person mentioned in 1) recalls your name in relation to 1) and 2).

This formula is failsafe. Many have used it very successfully.

But you can also go the route of others:

5) Just make stuff up about person 1) that didn’t happen, because it has become very fashionable to 1)-bash.

I know how you feel re. the comment stormcloud left at pisaquarisise’s blog. It does seem that there is a lot of narrow mindedness with some people, and for this reason, I also feel frustrated and don’t really know how to deal with it. It’s difficult to move forward when you feel as if you can’t express yourself openly on your blog because someone might say ‘no, that’s wrong’ or insult you personally, if you dare to question something. Anyway, I sympathise, although it does sound like there have been a lot of misunderstandings, from all sides, really. I’m glad everyone seems to have worked things out, kinda xx

A community that has to rigidly enforce groupthink (like the
USSR) is on its way OUT… eventually. The fact that they have to be so ruthless in their enforcement, is a sign they know their authority is slipping. The house of cards is falling, albeit slowly.

Also, if the event was arranged by ethnic minority women’s groups, then surely it’s even worse that the photos in the reports are largely of white women and someone got called a black bitch. Still, Arantxa, you’re probably right that I should have checked on that – considering people like Feminist Fightback and FAF were the ones debating over the manifesto, I assumed they were the main organisers.

Still, I’m kind of glad you guys called me out, because I was concerned about those things while writing.

i dont think everyone is having a go at you, so much as (I and arantxa) are expressing exasperation with the generalisations youve been promoting, and pointing out how some of the stuff youve said has really been unhelpful, or even misleading and erasing. its not like youre the first or only person who has ever done that, and i wouldnt have even bothered to comment on it if i didnt think that you might be the sort of person who would listen and talk the problem out. im feeling good and positive that you have listened, and also that you explained a bit how you also have felt patronised and marginalised, i think that gives us something to ally over, rather than be in opposition.

so, no grudges held, from my end, i hope that we’re alright with each other.

on this thread – would it be possible for everyone involved to please avoid saying anything personal, making any personal attacks, on anyone else? nectarine has said she is away for a few days and i doubt very much she needs the stress of coming back and having to wade through a bunch of nasty stuff here. actually i think we could all do without the stress of gratuitous hostility.
