Misstuned

This is in regards to a bit of e-drama that is just about cleared up that Mari nipped in the bud by closing comments on another post yesterday. If you don’t know what Mari is on about, then you’re not involved and not coming from that post, so please feel free and Mari asks you to overlook this post entirely. However, there is a small bit for hostees at the end, which is marked “Hostees:“, so if you are a hostee at Misstuned, please read that section.

A summary of my comments on this post, after a few different-minded¹ commenters decided to comment: “I hate e-drama. Yeah, I know I suck; everything I do sucks: I’m pretty much made of fail² , thanks for pointing it out, but my fail is pretty much the topic of my entire life at this point.”

Comments are now closed on that entry, to prevent needless e-drama. The comments there serve as discussion enough. There are views from both sides of the matter, and the three people affected have already commented and have already been responded to. They may reply to the replies I sent to their email addresses, if they have any further messages for me ³ .

To anyone else interested in commenting on that particular post, I’m sorry if you had something different and to say, but I need to curb the e-drama on this site. I’ve heard all I need to hear on how I suck. Really, I never stop hearing it from my friends, family, and myself, so to those of you who have nothing else to say, you’re just terribly unoriginal. Any comments on other posts that are in regards to this issue will be deleted.

Sorry, I don’t have time to reply to any more comments about that post. I’ve said all I have to say on it in the comments on it⁴ , and those who may have need to comment further have been emailed.

[EDIT 19 April 2008 15:18pm - Maria in an incredibly kind gesture, offered some suggestions on how to edit the particular post in question to remove the words and phrases that were offensive, and make the intent of the article clearer and less unintentionally hurtful.  Thank you times a billion, Maria.}

Hostees: I didn’t want to say anything before I felt it necessary to explain it to you, because I don’t like to report on anything regarding other people’s personal lives online. However, Jaclyn⁵ , has been having some things go on, which I don’t want to state here for respect of her personal life, which prevent her from being online to help restore your sites. I’m absolutely sure if you all knew what was going on, you’d all feel the same way as I do. So, let’s all send her some good karma!

1. I’m not trying to be snarky or intelligent or anything here, I just need to note that they had different opinions than the first few commenters [↩]
2. And not even the funny, macro-able sort of fail [↩]
3. Which they may very well not, in which case I’ll take everything I asked in regards to ceasing to read their blogs and removing their links as a yes [↩]
4. In addition to the actual post, which any further commenters have a 50% chance of not reading at all [↩]
5. Who is the only helper I still need to help set everything up again [↩]
