Not sure how to say this, but here goes

[nasa1974]

The news that Lady is still with us has shocked us all. Some are overjoyed, some are angry and others feel betrayed. These are emotions that none of us should deny. We all grieved differently.
The connection we have on this MB is as close to family as anyone can get without actually being family. But we have to remember that we live all over this great country and it only seems like next door. We know each other as “Birchtree” , “Buster”, “JTH”, “alevin”, “squalebear” , “CountryBoy”, “nasa1974” and many others. Some of us know first names of MB members, maybe even a last name. Some have personal E-mails. Some of us may even be in multiple MB’s with members of this MB. We trust our friends and family in these MB’s but because most of us do not live next door or even in the same city as other members good news or bad can be difficult to confirm. So we trust our friends and family and sometimes with a heavy heart we pass along news we believe to be true. We all make mistakes and sometimes it gets so far along it becomes difficult to correct. Our emotions make us do things that we think we could never do. On this MB members have gotten second and third chances from mistakes made. To some on this MB, trust will need to be earned again. As family we need to forgive.

Welcome back Lady

I'll take a "two week friendship suspension" ... I made a stupid mistake.

i can't stay mad at you two whole weeks, i believe you when you say it wasn't on purpose. way to own up to it.

I forget to be a Lady. (You will remember one appallingly inappropriate example of that, I'm sure.)

your hair looks nice today, hey why don't you put on one of those new wigs, maybe the long blonde straight one, we could kiss and make up right now. (there, we're even).

And because my opinion doesn't jive with the majority over there

that's why we like you. i hope your account gets unlocked, i prefer the Lady.

Boy, never a dull moment around here - guess I missed most of this particular um...drama? (kinda glad too)

I will attest that drugs can cause people to do very irrational things. My substance-abusing Ex still calls me up in chemically-induced stupor with some wild imagining that I am going to send her some monetary contributions to her manifold habits or providing supplemental assistance for her continued dependence (15 yrs?) on govt. bennyfits. This month it was "our air conditioner got shut-off) Well, my my, those Texas summers are might warm...Heres my advice to you... go and get yourself A JOB!!! (thats been said countless times I assure you)

However, she has chosen that lifestyle for many years now.
I think Lady was just a short-term victim of what drugs can do to one's judgment.

I've always believed in reincarnation, but have never met anyone who actually was, that I know of anyway. Now I know!!!

 

[Viva_La_Migra]

I don't know how I missed this thread the last four days, but WOW! What a surprise!

Lady, the joy I feel in knowing you have not passed outweighs my disappointment with how you handled the situation. Illness and medication can make one do crazy things. Lesson learned. Next time someone mistakenly reports you dead, please chime in with a line from Monty Python's "Search for the Holy Grail"

I'm not dead yet!:nuts:

I hope you are recovering well. Will Morgana be arguing with us on Beltway Talk anytime soon?

 

[Afishegg]

This is "silly"! Look, I know you all have been on here on the "net" blogging for sometime, and have even in some ways grown close, but this event shows the silly-ness of the entire thing! (I have an idea!) here goes, why don't those of you who have not met already, MEET!?!?!? I know, I know it's not THAT serious, but with all this "OMG! she's not dead stuff going on, I think it appropriate! It is easy, pick a place and time and be there then, get to know one another, I mean for gods sakes, ya'll call yourselves friends, but I mean. Have you met one another?...NO?..then .....it's TIME!

When you meet someone online, it allows your inner souls to meet without the obstacle of the human body getting in the way..............yeah right............

 

[FlippedOutFERS]

First of all I just want to say that the way that most of you have taken this news warms my heart. My friends here mean more to me than you can know.

I hope you are recovering well. Will Morgana be arguing with us on Beltway Talk anytime soon?

Thanks for asking, VLM. The bad days are getting less scary all the time. As for the Beltway, I probably won't be back there any time in the foreseeable future. My passionate explanations of my point of view have probably cost me too much already. :embarrest:

Lady

 

[burrocrat]

My passionate explanations of my point of view

that's why i like you.

you know i would never shoot you right? just the gun out of your hand.

 

[Frixxxx]

Welcome back!

 

[Show-me]

First, I don't need anyone to comment on my comments. That will be a sure fire way to start a fight and after wasting my morning reading all of this, I'm ready for one. I don't need a apology or a explanation, just go away.

Second, I'm glad your not dead.

Third, you lied. You broke my trust in you to be truthful and worst of all you faked your death to dozens if not hundreds of people on the MB. That is not something to find humor in or easily forgive or forget.

You people that think its funny will be setting a precedence for the next "fake death". I see absolutely no humor in faking a death or lying on a MB. Trust and truth are all you have via the internet/MB.

How about having some standards and sticking to them?

You wasted my time and emotions. You belittled us all with your charade and now YOU feel guilty or just miss the attention. How would we know which it is? How do we trust you at this point?

It does take balls to come back out and explain it all, unless is it all a lie to get more attention?

How would we really know?

I think of Spaf and Wht00ss.

 

[burrocrat]

i don't agree with what you said, but i don't know the circumstances that led you to feel that way so it's not for me to judge.

i do, however, strongly agree with the way you said it. hooweee, that is some conviction you got there. preach it brother. way to go, the world would be a better place if more folks spoke their minds instead of the wishy-washy don't offend anyone crap of a world we live in now.

i tried to give you some reps but it says i have to spread it around first, now i like spreading it around, but it always seems to get me in trouble. searching for a post i can rep before coming back and paying tribute here.

The circumstances are simple, she lied to us all AND faked her death. It is yours and everyone else's place to judge and punish a liar. There should be a punishment for both or all you do is condone it to the next person that wants to do it.

You need to set a standard and then stick to it for it to work. Look below for a refresher of the rules.

I really can't believe we are even having a poll or discussion about this.

Everyone gets a pass for everything. Why do we even have rules or laws or a Constitution or a Bill of Rights?

You break the rules you should be punished or erase the damn rules.

Unless, of course, there is more to the story that you might not be aware of, Show-me.

I, for one, am happy that she is alive and back.

That's enough for me.

I celebrate each breath. I celebrate each moment of life.

It's a very, very precious commodity.

Neither you nor I can create it. Both of us have the power to snuff it out.

We should rejoice the very fact that life is here and exists.
It's a far better thing that life exists.

Rejoice! Rejoice!

 

[Show-me]

Don't come at me with that Bull$hit, Moderator James and try to spin me as the bad guy. I am happy she is not dead too and that's all I'm happy for on the subject.

Remove the rules or enforce them, no more of the politically correct Bull$hit democratic weak spinned crap.

No matter who started it, she let it go on and posed as her husband and kept it going for days.

Rejoice in her living but enforce the rules.

Unless, of course, there is more to the story that you might not be aware of, Show-me.
