I've sent an e-mail to the kat@eds.org address. I hope that is what you still use. It was not my intention to anger or hurt anyone and I hope that we can discuss this further off of Blu's journal.
I have already taken up too much of her time and upset her needlessly. My appologies.
I'm not upset. You're wrong about Loco and I'm comfortable with that because, as a few of us have, I've hung out with her, talked to her in person. Meeting someone in real life, I would hope, would give you a little more well-rounded perspective. I see no reason to beat this into the ground. I don't hate you. I don't dislike you. I just don't agree...at all, with what you said and how you said it. I'm not here to change your mind, but tell you how I, and possibly a few others, see it. But frankly, I'd be more worried about how you come across than what you said. It seems to be the bigger issue.
Blu, I'm really sorry. I don't have the words to really express it and I wish I could go back and delete this before you saw it. I don't hate Loco, I only think she needs help. I didn't mean to come off sounding holier-than-thou or any of the other things. I thank you for letting me know you're opinion I only wish someone had expressed it to me before I made myself into a bigger fool.
I was with you up until that "I only think she needs help" bit.
First of all, it's statements like that, without KNOWING a person, that make you seem a wee bit arrogant. Statements like that illicit such responses as the one I wanted to post. ("OH, is that your PROFESSIONAL opinion, or just your opinion as a DEAR, CLOSE FRIEND of Loco's) You can talk to someone online until you're blue in the face and still not really know them.
Second. No shit. We all do.
Third. What you saw of Loco isn't an indication of her "needing help" necessarily, but I thought Kat and I pointed that out.
I don't know why I'm responding when I know better. I just felt like I had to give you an example. Again, I don't hate you or dislike you, just letting you know how you come across to me sometimes. Take it as you will.
E-mail away.
