Wow! Sometimes this place really is full of lunies, yeah??

Because I had been banned

from the site while I was being de-liced by Rich at RW, I had no idea that this had been going on here. I left a few nights ago, still trying to change my name back to my own and that's when all hell broke loose for me -- I deactivated myself and then couldn't get back in -- could not even bring up the peter gabriel website. Thanks to the de-bugging and decontamination, I'm all squeaky clean and bug free . . . and I'm back as me, Pat Parker, just like I used to be!

So I have spent some time perusing the various threads and their discussions and when I came across this one, well, I just had to read it -- because at first glance, I thought there had been a death threat against Rena and I wondered what that had to do with the Peter Gabriel topic -- somehow I just don't picture him making death threats against anyone.
Well, of course, now that I've read the various exchanges here, I wanted to comment on it -- not to keep this thread alive . . . hhmm, the irony . . . keeping the death threat thread alive . . . but I really just wanted to comment on the overall discussion, not to be argumentative or anything.
From what I read, the post by Rraven is what it is . . . it seems to be a direct quote (something which I know Cyn likes to do, so that there's no question as to what's written), and it's definitely Rraven's style of writing. That, and the fact, that the topic is not new (or at least it's not new to many of us who still frequent the forums) makes me realize that the same old shit has begun again . . . and I'm not taking any side here at all, there are no sides to this because this is all "history" in the sense that nothing was accomplished the last time this went down and nothing will be accomplished again. It's just really old, tiring, and very, very zzzzzzzzzzzz . . . boring. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

So, it's in the spotlight once again, whatever "it" is and Rraven has written that "all we can hope for is for her [Cyn] to drop dead." Granted, it's not the nicest of sentiments,but neither is it a threat -- it is not a threat at all, not even if it was said face-to-face, person-to-person, lunie-to-lunie -- it's not polite, can be considered rude or mean, but in no way does it constitute a threat.
As far as the "lies" told by Rraven concerning computer damage, well, again, that would need to be validated and I'm not sure how that can be done. Even if it is true, that is something that would need to be worked out between the parties involved.
I do not think it wise to continually bring up the past, to make derogatory comments toward each other -- Cyn and Rraven are equally as guilty in the name-calling departments, let's face it lunies. To use words such as "insane" (Rraven) and "emotionally unstable woman" (Cyn) are not appropriate because these words would typically represent those used by mental health professionals, which neither of you are. So, the best thing for either/both of you (Rraven/Cyn) to do would be to either: (1) stop feeding into each other's webs and/or (2) stop visiting the forums completely -- which I would not expect you to do.
I realize that you started this thread, now want it to stop and my comments will only add to it. For that, I'm sorry, but quite honestly, you cannot expect to write a thread with such a catchy title and not expect us lunies to read it and possibly coment on it, yeah?
So, all this to say, I think Rraven's statement is not something I would say or do, but that doesn't make it wrong and it doesn't make it illegal. It's just the way in which she speaks (writes, in this case) -- it's not the first time she has spoken harshly against someone.
At the same time, I think Cyn's constant condescending comments toward lunies like Jen, Moonie, Darcy, Rev, etc., are equal to the supposed death threat of Rraven -- they're both harmless, but annoying and unnecessary comments and they wreak havoc with the harmony of this place.
I agree with Moonie above when she writes: "With respect, and now that I have been able to say a little bit on how I feel about the matter. I will let this go, because you are a human being and have faults & I am a human being who has sympathy." -- I agree 100% and thank her for writing it and hopes she doesn't mind my copying and pasting it.

So, let's all settle down and carry on -- we don't all have to like each other or get along, but the beauty of this place is that we can wholeheartedly ignore someone -- and that won't cause anyone any harm at all.
Kind regards to all,
