On Circuses and Silver Linings
On Circuses and Silver Linings And people wonder why I take so long to blog lol. I've just spent a good 4 hours*, multiple revisions, and total deletions for this post. On Silver Linings. First: I was reminded tonight that it's probably a good idea to back up all of my original works from this site onto my computer. Of course: it's probably an even better idea not to post the original versions here. So here's the ubiquitous reminder: Always Back Up Your Work. (and always tell those you love that you love them. And tell your best friend where you hide your toys and porn so in case you die it won't shock the rest of the family). Because you never know what will happen. "Always wear clean underwear" is another one of those sayings, but I've been commando all weekend, so that would be rather hypocritical to say Second: I had a great discussion with a friend about the fact there's no need to throw myself onto invisible swords. Albeit he appreciates my willingness to do so. Of course had I realized ahead of time I'd be cut I would have just stayed out of it. It was a case of "I'm here, I'll ask" which backfired spectacularly. On Circuses: "Not my Circus, not my Monkeys" I've been a blogger since 2005. The only "drama" I participate in is my own. I admit some of my blog posts probably seem full of drama... venting about heart break, devastation, etc. Sometimes a person's heart and soul are cut so deep there's nothing one can do except bleed all over and cry for help and hope somebody listens and helps staunch the flow of blood before one bleeds to death because the wounds are too deep and too numerous. Other times getting the words and thoughts out help get everything to a manageable level. But I have never played games. I do not participate in, encourage, or create drama between others. Those of you who know me (and probably most who don't) know that is not the way I am. ** In case any of you saw an earlier version: I'm still working this post out so it "feels" right to me. Right words, right intention, etc. ** Essentially: I reached out to a blogger tonight because a friend was worried he'd said something to upset her, though he didn't know how. I checked what he'd commented and saw nothing wrong with it. While the blogger and I aren't "friends" I always felt we were "friendly". So I messaged her privately. And got all sorts of vitriol back. Apparently my email violated all sorts of TOS: talking about another member. Telling her my friend's user name. And another which was caused by a poor choice of wording on my part - taken as I meant it NOT a violation of anything but as she read it: supposed banning for life. She accused me of playing games, of starting drama, etc. And threatened to report me if I ever contacted her thusly again. Or of playing games or trying to involve her in my drama. Actually it's starting to almost be amusing now. But... basically I'm sharing this so, worst case scenario and my profile and blog suddenly disappear, friends and readers know this is what caused it. Thus ends my participation in the drama. Circus Pic... Because I feel this needs lightened up a bit. *Part of those 4 hours were spent copying all my favorite portions of my blog and chatting. |

I like reading your blog. As to drama, we all have it our lives. As far as I could tell from my limited experience in blogland, most bloggers vent here. I found that putting thoughts on the virtual paper helps me think and make decisions. Some people are overly sensitive or too angry, or agitated to listen to reason. Often, they attack the messenger. That's the sign of their insecurity, imo.

For people who love drama, accusing someone else of starting the drama is a standard tactic. Good idea to be proactive. I don't get what you're saying about the user name. If she had a beef with him on A.F.F., wouldn't she already know his user name? If you linked his user name to his real identity, that would violate 12(n), disclosing private info of another member.

I haven't read all the rules, but fortunately they are in titled sections. Section 12, Your Conduct, seems to be the only relevant one. I like the forthright clarity of 15(a): "We reserve the right to terminate or restrict your access to or use of the Services, without notice or liability, for any or no reason whatsoever." Live in fear, A.F.F. members. Live in fear.
