This whole thing is a long story which I won't go into detail, but simply put, what started out as something really small has escalated into a death threat against me.

What's worse is that someone else is ignoring me and believing the other person.

All this... due to the fact that the person that made said threat has been to 46 more shows than I have, and she has to be all high and mighty about it.

Note: Mods, if you feel this is inappropriate, then you can lock this. I just need a place to vent, and I have no place else to do it.

We all need a place to vent at some time or other. ;-)

And, I can understand that it's disturbing to receive death threats - especially over something as trivial as number of shows you've attended. :souka: (At least, I assume that's what it's connected with...?)

You can at least console yourself with the fact that anyone who gets their panties in so tangled a knot over such a thing evidently has no life worth living. :okashii:

Stop spewing this **** everywhere. A death threat was never made to you. Saying you're going to "fix" someone is hardly a death threat.

Elitism has nothing to do with this. You're being a jackass, taking the argument (if it's even that) into places it doesn't belong (why don't you go post on CNN.com while you're at it?), and acting like a child.

Someone who has been to 46 other shows than you HAS THE RIGHT to be high and mighty. Thinking otherwise is like equating your art skills to Da Vinci's when you've taken a year of community college art classes. She's been around years and years and years in the Dir fandom; knocking a one-show "newbie" into his place is her right. You have an LJ (in which you like to spread lies, as I saw this morning), so why don't you go "vent" there instead of involving people who don't know both sides of the situation?

And why don't you just repeat to yourself "I don't believe in witchcraft" ten times; it'll probably make you feel a ton better.

*chants "Jerry Jerry Jerry Jerry"*

lmfao ... I'm totally not helping out this situation so I'm out~~~


(btw, to the inital poster, there's already a thread about elitism somewhere in here...)

I'm not spreading lies.

You don't know the whole story. And unless you pay attention to me just once, you will never know exactly what happened.

I want this crap to end more than anyone else.

P.S.: No, she doesn't have the right to act like that. She is hated on Batsu and by the majority of people who read her nonsense. If you paid attention to the official BBS, you'd know that I wasn't the only person there telling her to stop her crap.

Okay, so I feel as though I'm a relatively neutral party ... seeing as I just read about this stuff today ... and I know neither of you. I have absolutely nothing to do with my life now that I'm finally out of school for a month, so I decided to be a internet nerd/sleuth.

So ... I read through your LJ and I read through her LJ and I compared stories and comments and ideas and thoughts and if I had to choose sides I think I'd choose hers.

I mean, I can understand why you're upset to a degree, but to a certain ... well, large extent all of this drama seems to be greatly your fault as well. It's not necessarilly "elitism" that she is displaying, not in the way that I think of typically at least, it's more she's just fed up with nonsense and isn't going to be "sweet" about it.

Especially because you're coming into forums all over the Jrock world and posting stuff like this just to smear her name anywhere you can think of.

Like I said, I know neither of you... so coming from a neutral party

no offense, but on the real

how about you just drop this.

I'm not trying to smear her. I'm just merely fed up with her crap and am going mentally insane because of my admittedly provocative nature.

The bad thing is that she banned me from commenting in her journal, so I can't even attempt to defend myself.

Whatever. I didn't want this at all. I would've stopped days ago, but she just continued.

I don't know either of you and I don't know what the hell you're talking about.

There's no need to have an entire thread for a personal vendetta, anyway. Lockity lockity, anyone?

Whoever she is and whatever she's doing, put her out of your mind and get on with living your life. If you dwell on her comments, that only lets her win by getting under your skin. :okashii:

Just how many forums do you need to vent on? The response on the others wasn't satisfactory so you have to take it to a new one? I thought LJ was the appropriate place to vent about personal matters.

You hadn't even made 10 posts in other threads here on jref before you started your own new thread to vent. Do you generally make a habit of walking into communities, acting like you can do whatever you want there from the first moment even before you've learned what's acceptable in the new place, and then complaining about elitism when other people don't like it?

I'll say it again: I don't know you, I haven't read your posts in any other places, I haven't read LJ and I don't know what the f**k you're going on about.

I don't care if this is acceptable or not, I am going to ask in a loud voice for one of the mods to LOCK THIS THREAD. :jama:

I second the motion :crab:

Eh, I knew this was a bad idea.

Sorry.
