In reading the later posts on my 'hissy fit' thread, I've decided that this one was missed by many of you so am posting it again. Let me just add that I
don't think that Yorick sent that blind email about the Moon's Hope and that I was calling that person (whoever it was) a coward and not him! Also, no Paul, I haven't doubled my prozac and in fact don't take any. And, no, I haven't shceduled any appointments for counseling. Thanks for your concern, though
I sent an email to ShadowStrider last night, apologising for my remarks about TeamBG. Hope this helps.

I wanted to reply to you all and, yeh, not go away mad. Your reactions are just what I thought they would be, especially the women's. And, yes, I do apoligise for the lauguage used and the anger that I didn't try very hard to 'lighten up'. Thank you all for your responses. And Special thanks to RudeDawg, my newest friend here and to Moiraine, one of my first friends here.
Rudy, I know your heart was in your tale of the awful experiences you've had and that it is never easy to share such a thing, especially with a group of people you've known for such a short time. My friend, please know that this meant much to me and that you are someone I would like to continue to know.
Moiraine. Brava! Wish I could have said it as well and made my point without all the shite hitting the fan! Thanks! I will ALWAYS remember you!
Memnoch. Ouch! My tone was angry, yes. but the language not that bad. The only things not censored with ##'s was shite without the 'e' and the word that rhymes with 'witch'. But I'm sorry. It's not my style and I should've maintained not even saying cr@p or h$ll without the 'censors'.
Melusine. I will chalk your reaction up to the fact that you come from a generation whose 'men' quite legitimately refer to their girlfriends as 'their bitches'. You can't help it. As to the 'sugary sickening love-talk that goes on in other threads'? Let me touch on that before I say goodbye.
The Moon's Hope Inn was an accident. I thought it up as a way to 'get us all together' in one thread after chasing people I wanted to talk to all over the board and never catching up with them! I never meant for it to become a 'serial' that would sport 100's of posts a day! Jeesh! Even I haven't read all that! But it's not it's success I'm amazed at. It's the controversy. That post that Yorick created that night was a lot more up and up than his coming into Reeka's post-party thread and 'attacking' her. And me. It would have been better, Yorrick, to have left the original thread that I was indeed planning on replying to. And it would have been a lot more honest.
No. In answer to some of you, the tetosterone thing isn't the 'last straw' in my real-life. It was the last straw here. Of people deciding what is right and wrong by what suits them. Yorrick never mentioned Vic's thread where there was anything from sexist to very rude content all the time he went on (and on) about about the 'porn' that going on at the Inn. Why didn't you just say it was the fact that we role/played romance while being married/engaged in rl that bothered you, Yorrick? Like in your deleted post? And whoever it was who sent the anonymous blind-email, you I will call a complete coward. Any one of us would have responded by 'toning it down' had we been approched in a reasonable 'up-front' way!
Ziroc. God Ziroc. Thank you Dan. For all you've done for us here. For all you've dome for me. And for your email. I don't cancel my membership. I would like to leave it with my email for any who would like to maintain a friendship with me.
I am sorry all, for the anger. That isn't my style either. And yes, you menfolk, I do forgive the thoughtless remarks as I know you are the product of a society that condones this kind of thing in it's men. 'All in fun' is a great excuse for injustice committed against all minorities. The fact that it's still okay for this against women but not for those other's mentioned in my first angry post gives me hope and tells me that we have indeed come a long ways on the road to being civilized.
Goodbye all. Be well. I'm thinking Ziroc will grant my wish and leave my profile (at least for now) and, PLEASE, any who want to contact me, you are more than welcome.
I will sorely miss you all.
