I got two emails this evening, I jumped with joy because I saw it wasn't spam, one was from Heathyr (and I like talking to her!), and one was about my latest story. I haven't gotten much response aobut that one, so I clicked that one first. It was a really nice email, which made me go :):) while I read it (twice, I suppose).
Then I clicked the 2nd mail, and after the first sentence it was clear she was upset because someone had taken it into his head to write her about some things, and whatever truth there may be in his assumptions really isn't important. What IS important though is that it's none of his concern, and I don't need a babysitter looking out for me.
I especially don't need someone upsetting my friends, and Heathyr IS a friend of mine, a special dear friend at that, and it sickens and disgusts me to see the pain and heart-ache this email caused her.
I have no idea who you are, my invisible babysitter, but I don't appreciate you going behind my back like this. What, you didn't expect I wouldn't find out or something?
You owe me an explanation and Heathyr an apology!
Please do not do this again, you have been very rude, I hope you understand that yourself. >

This thread has seen some 50 views now and I guess you, Mr. Mystery Mailer is one of those who read it. Now you know that I am NOT amused, you need to write me like, ASAP and f'n explain yourself, because if I have to find out from someone OTHER than you directly who you are, let's just say you won't have to worry about my well-being anymore okay?
I don't like it when people secretly interfere in my life by sending anonymous cowardly mails even if it's believed to be on my behalf, or especially, upset my friends!

After a short conversation with Heathyr this morning I am still quite confused about who sent the e-mail or even what was in it. It did seem to upset her which I was not at all happy about.
I don't want to get in the middle of whatever this is. So my advice for both or you is to ignore it, if that is even possible.
Much love to both of you,

I thought the general consensus was that things begun elsewhere were to remain elsewhere.
Especially rants.

i think it was gathered that since it was involving, and about *my* involvement with certain people on the board, and about me being at the board, and about my activity on the board, yet the person wouldn't sign a name in the mail, it was assumed perhaps they'd speak up on said board and board occupants they were trying to "look out for."
how is that for a run-on sentence? anyways.
though it's done very well to plant several (or well, three) seeds of serious doubt in my head, i didn't write back. simply informed those that were mentioned in this eloquently-put email, in the event they get one, too. no one's trying to wreck the board, and i don't think that was the intent with the thread. it's just someone's trying to get ME to leave the board, and leave one, possibly two people alone in particular.
don't they know not to f*** with a "sociopath"? for real!  )

Why should someone want you to leave?
That is rediculous.

I agree with "Nob. spec." about taking this off the MB and keeping it to emails and the wonderful world of IM'ing, where rumours are free to run rampant.
I also agree with Kevin that perhaps the best course of action for the people involved is to ignore it.

There is no email address because Heathyr deleted the one she was sent, and I can't really blame her for that, and obviously I can't IM an anonymous person either.
This business DID start here so therefore I posted, I don't want it to CONTINUE here, nor do I intend to let it, but it's the only way I have to let the Mystery Mailer know my displeasure. I expect to get an apologetic email in short order from whomever it was that mailed Heathyr.
Now stop polluting my thread with complaints!

This needs to be taken elsewhere.

Dude, I already EXPLAINED why this can't be taken elsewhere. Now please respect that and stay out of this. Thank you.
The only reply I am interested in to this thread is of Mr. Mystery Writer saying how sorry he is for upsetting my friend.
Don't start a discussion where one is not needed, nor wanted.
Replies in email ONLY, thank you.

If you are truly a guest among us I, for one would prefer that you refrain from telling registered participants what to post here and what not to post here. I also think that it is rude of anyone, but especially a guest, to say that someone who "lives" here is "pollution".
If you are a regular participant here who nevertheless prefers to remain icognito I suppose that would explain the matter. How sad.

So am I.
This is not the place.
And if this person is not sorry? What then?

but don't you see that this thread didn't get littered and polluted until you started the argument? i'm not being vicious or anything, i mean of course everyone can have a say here, but i too explained the reasoning it came to the board. the email was full of stuff about the board, my involvement on the board, my meddling on the board, and board-board-board.
yes, i deleted the mail, else it could have been solved there. but it was an email address off hotmail, that was random letters and numbers, very obviously not a real email addy. i only opened it because it was titled: "Concerning APOS...."
had i known this was going to turn into a huge spat that has nothing to do with the topic at hand, i'd have not deleted, and i'd have written back. though i have a sneaking suspicion the address in question wouldn't be accepting return mail. creating bunk emails to harrass someone is not uncommon on the internet.
so i'm sorry this is "polluting" the board, but all it was, in the beginning, was a request for whomever to step forward, on the board they were telling me to basically leave--and leave two people alone on. NOW, it's become polluted. just nevermind. it's a shame friends can't step forward in the place another friend was told to "please evacuate" and find out what was going on. if this was some argument about politics or churches or movies or music or something NOT related to the board, then i can see taking it off the board. i understand your point, though .. but i also understand lenny's, and others.
however, the thread didn't get polluted and bigger and bigger until....
ah, well. it's not like being slammed to hell and back is anything i'm not used to.
just take kev's advice and forget it, everyone. lenny--the person's obviously not going to step forward here, and probably never meant to, so.

Well that is just another opinion.
I'll file it along with his.

Christ...! You have just succeeded in doing what you're accusing me of; causing trouble. I guess congratulations are in order or whatever, Mr Anonymous (Marc?). Tip for the future: if you don't like a thread, don't reply to it.
This was never meant to be a discussion, it was a formal notice to Mr Mystery Writer. Thanks to you, this is now a mess instead. See what happens when you uninvited stick your nose in other people's business?
Send an email if you want to present your opinions to me in any kind of *meaningful* and adult manner, do NOT reply to this thread again as it is not meant to be a discussion.

Whoops, I did it again. Silly me.
Steves has a valid point about you being anonymous. I am not saying you don't have a right to your opinion, but to dictate behavioral rules while remaining hidden about who you are doesn't seem right.
Perhaps if he knew who the person was he might have left it off the MB.
I just don't think you should speak to Steve like that. I always value his opinion, even when I disagree with him. He is only trying to help.
So please all calm down, lets not drag this into another fight. We have all had our fill of that crap.
Give peace a chance,
Kevin (or John Lennon not sure which) ::-)

Do not presume to have control over what (I or anyone else for that matter) has to say and whom I (or they) choose to say it to.
Thankyouverymuch.

Lenny had no sensible alternative way of expressing his feelings to the emailer, by all reports.
This could, and should, have been left there. It shoudl neother have spawned a myriad of replies, nor turned into vitriol.
I don't care who "caused" it. Now is the time to walk away from it. Like right now.
