Well, this is interesting. I hear via the grapevine that my character is being assassinated in private posts by Lakme, and games are being played along the lines of “If you’re my friend, you won’t be his…”.
That sort of stuff is just childish, if that is what’s happening. being on the outside of Lakme’s journal, and not a part of dotgirl or carrie’s journals for quite a while, I don’t have the whole story.
Here is my take on it, though, feel free to correct me in polite words if I’m wrong.
Lakme claims that I gave out my password to dotgirl, so she could continue to rea private entries of carrie’s. Well, no. I don’t give my password out to anyone, unless it’s an admin in order to change to a new one. since that’s done automatically by LJ, no human has been given it. Now, I’m not calling lakme a liar, because she could just be misinformed.
In all honesty, I do remember enjoying carrie’s journal, but there’s a lot of fish in the LJ sea, and I really have too many linktos on my friends list anyhow.
I do think it’s strange, given Lakme’s love of confrontation and combat that she hasn’t attacked me publicly with her accusations, which is why I put the disclaimer “grapevine” comment at the front. last conflict I had with her was months ago, about me dropping her from my friends list. I hear that there’s some sort of proof, but nobody has seen it. I’ll be interested in seeing or hearing what it is, if it exists at all, as I’ve not done any of what I hear I’ve been accused of.
Folks who know me, and read both lakme and myself no doubt will see some very real personality differences… I for one, do not delete my journal in an “on-line suicide” in order to get attention from folks that read my journal. I try to work things out, or if that doesn’t work, I walk away from the fight, if there’s no logic in it.
I don’t think of myself as an angry person, or needy for attention. If folks would like to unlink, or link to my page, well, have a nice trip, and welcome aboard respectively. I really don’t know the bulk of you folks… most of you are quite nice, friendly, and offer a clever comment or just a friendly wave. I won’t be mad if you leave, though. This journal is for me and stuff I find to be fun… you’re welcome to visit whenever you like. Longtime linkers here know that my posts are either public or totally private. I think that I’ve posted probably 5 or so friends only posts, and even then it was pretty much the same as I have here out in public.
This whole “my friend your friend” thing smacks of the politics of high school. Hang with who you want to hang with. Take advice or don’t. Good luck with whatever you decide, and I hope you do well.
Just so everyone knows, my journal is staying as long as LJ allows it. People that get outraged with me and my friends are welcome to continue to be so in public or private, but they are not welcome to treat my friends cruelly, unfairly or without kindness.
