Kitso made a comment to B about using his cancer to excuse himself for being an ass to people. I've had family members who've had cancer and they never used it as an excuse to be dicks. Lets not make it sound like i was saying, "you have cancer, god must hate you" or something like that. He was being a jerk and i told him to blame it on the cancer again, cause that's real cute.
There are a few H&A types that did a lot to run Hootie off, mostly by attacking her in the mod forum. So, then, i guess we should narrow it down to the H&A kids who were mods at the time. She got pretty sick of having to defend herself daily to people she thought were her friends. Especially ones who should be the LAST people on EARTH to question a woman like her. Look, neither her nor i am ashamed of our actions. The fact that a very good friendship has grown out of it is something we both really are thankful for. I just think that the people who were attacking her and i are the real questionable ones.
So Kath gets a lot of isht. She also goes looking for it in most cases. When she jumps into threads and starts running grammar smack on people, what does she expect? She gets into threads backing up rudey and then gets attacked again. What does she expect?
Look, i've tried to bury the hatchet with you people, i've apologized and said let bygones be bygones, but some of your buddies can't resist from making snide comments that i know are targeting me. The broken bed one being a perfect example. I don't go trolling much, maybe with the comment about Austin bein better than whatever the capital in Wisconsin was, but i really don't do that often. I've taken an attitude of live and let live. Y'all are the ones that feel the need to continue it.
I'm not specifially directin this at you S&S, because i really don't remember you being one of the people, but when the people that make these attacks rally around the H&A cause, what do you think that makes us think? If you roll into a fraternity party and some dude drops a roofie in your drink, regardless of if he's a bro or not, what is your instant impression of that fraternity?
If FireK, Mon and i have to band together to voice the feelings of others, so be it. everytime someone posted on here in support of EE just makes it more worthwhile. I'm not goin to take the fight to PM, because this does involve the whole board. This is in support of people who are made fun of with fake LJs, the fake names, i.e. SheetCake, Hatchet Face, etc etc. I'm lettin them know that not EVERYONE on GC thinks that crap is funny and some of us are sick of it.

1) B. was not using his cancer as an excuse for being an ass. In fact, that was the only time I can ever remember mentioning it to GC. He only told a handful of people on GC that he had it and he told most of us to shut up about it. So in fact, I would say that he was doing the exact opposite of using it as an excuse for being an ass.
2) I have no problem with you having a relationship with Hootie. I do think some of the circumstances surrounding your friendship are humorous, and I'm certainly not the only one. If you or she can't deal with that, either don't do what you did or don't let other people find out about it.
3) OK, so first anyone who belongs to a GC clique gets blamed for being obnoxious. Then as this thread goes on, it's made clear that this is mostly directed at the H&A. Recent posts have made it obvious that some of you are just harboring some personal vendettas against mods who may or may not have been H&A (I am guessing Kath and Sandy, but whatever, because I'm not a mod so I have no idea what went down in there) -- so why can't this be addressed via PM to them instead of airing your issues to the entire board? And why can't Hootie fight her own battles instead of getting other people to fight them for her? IMO she has taken the best course of action possible from this -- she got tired of the board, so she left without drama.
4) I don't think Kath goes looking isht anymore than you do, but I suppose that's a matter of personal opinion.
5) I think you're very much denying your role in the ongoing feud that you think we perpetuate. I can't remember the last time that I (personally) have said anything nasty to you that wasn't provoked. Yet you continue to make snide jabs like the ones in the state capital thread that make it clear that you're harboring some bitterness -- obviously I don't take them all that personally, but if I have some people that I'm friendly with and they think you're attacking me unprovoked they're going to make jabs back. You can't say "I'm innocent, I'm innocent -- except for those three or four times."
6) You know what? Some of the people responding to this thread in support of the H&A AREN'T H&A -- they just like us. Some of the fake personalities are not H&A girls (Internet Lawyer being the example that comes to mind first -- I know that'll surprise a few of you). In fact, I imagine there is not a single one of you on GC who knows who is even considered to be a part of this "clique." Hell, even half of the H&A themselves couldn't. And there are, of course, lots of people on this board who are plenty nasty who have no tie to us whatsoever. There are people who had a hand in driving many people off this board who have no ties to us whatsoever. I remember a recent incident where a member of this board accused Kath of something she hadn't committed, something that this member had no proof she had committed, and tried to get her demodded for it. AFAIK, no apologies were ever made to Kath. It's like the second anything mean happens, it's all of us who get blamed for it -- even when most or none of us aren't even involved with it.
Which is fine -- I can't change y'all's opinions and I don't really care too much one way or another. But I really wish that you would do some rethinking before you automatically point fingers at "the H&A" when you couldn't even name half the people who are associated with that label.
At any rate, I'm out of this thread because it has become way too unfun for me -- y'all can always reach me via PM if you have any more issues to address.
