Some Things You Just Can’t Fake

OK people, this is just a quick FYI and if you’re not one of the guilty ones that this won’t make much sense. But I recently realized that I could pinpoint EVERY comment to it’s IP address to it’s originator, regardless of the screen name you use.

It has come to my attention that a certain individual who will remain nameless, unless they want to make a scene with me …. has been bashing me in the comments section under fake screen names. While simultaneously using other fake names to build up their side of the story. While on yet ANOTHER hand (because apparently underhanded people have many hands with which to stab you in the back with) has pretended to be my and Remi’s friend.

Comments that this person have left have had the sting of familiarity and Remi, more then I suspected that we knew who this was. At her urging, I tracked all the comments of one IP address and *voila* MANY more comments and fake names than I had even imagined came up! INCLUDING her real name. (Or screen name that I know her by, along with her personal email.)

Apparently, she wasn’t as slick as she had thought she was …. because while most of her “real name” comments came from one particular IP, most of the harassing and hateful comments came from a different one, with the exception of that one tell tale comment, where she used her real name. (I suspect it’s her work computer or a coffee house) And we all know, it only takes once for the truth to be revealed and it can never be untold.

So hopefully this person will read this blog because I don’t want a big confrontation with them. Although I have ample … and I mean AMPLE ammunition to use should they force one. Because this here? This was just the icing on the cake! There’s a whole lot more shady business they are guilty of and I would be more then happy to bring it all to light.

Me? I’ve got nothing to hide.

So if you’re reading this and I’m pretty sure you are … I won’t reveal your identity. Not out of respect for you, because you have shown me and my friendship NONE. In fact you have disrespected me and Remi more times then I care to count. But I kept giving you the benefit of the doubt. Well, the cold hard truth is hard to ignore and I have all the proof I need in black and white right in front of me.

So like I said, I won’t reveal your true name, because while you deserve it. I like to think that I’ve held myself to a higher standard then you have held yourself to and I will continue to do so. If we meet at some random lesbian joint, I will be cordial. No matter how you conduct yourself.

In case readers were wondering … I will let you see two of her “fake comments” under one her “fake names” …. this just that really hit below the belt, coming from a so-called-friend.

Weaksauce: Seriously? This the big revelation and conclusion? Sometimes I think you just get off on hearing yourself “speak” or write. Engaged or not you thrive on drama and live to retell it. Bring back the other writers! Remi good luck – I’d hate to be with anyone who can so quickly recall EVERY single detail of all her sexual escapades for her own pleasure and those around her.

Weaksauce: Hey DJ B & Tony –I’m definitely NOT an ex of Sasha’s, biopolar, dramatic headcases are not my type …

The only reason I don’t leave more of her “fake name comments” is because it would be obvious who she is, by who she so rabidly defends. Let’s just say that not everyone is what they would like the world to think they are.

Good luck to you, Weaksauce. I’ll call you that, because it was the most fitting of all your names. I wish you the best in your life. I really do. Just stay out of mine.

    You go, Sasha! Very noble of you. Not all of us could be that kind in this situation. Let karma do its work…it will.
    Power to you for standing up for yourself.

    That is awesome. I mean it’s not at all awesome that someone was playing games like that, it’s actually rather childish as it’s so EASY to try to hide yourself on a computer while it takes confidence and pride to show yourself out in the light. What is awesome is that she was busted. And that, is the most fitting of punishments for those attempting to be shady.

    Good for you for taking the high road. While it would be must more instantly gratifying to put it all out there, it will hopefully teach a greater lesson to force her to come to you should she choose to maintain a relationship with you. :)

    *narrows eyes* damn. There a not so many who comment here that appear to know you and Remi in real life. Not knocking your decision to take the high road by not revealing, but this causes me to be suspicious of everyone I know to be your “friend”. Sorry that assholes exist, Sasha. At least you took control by posting this.

  4. serenissima November 30, 2010 at 10:57 am Permalink

    wow. i dont know you personally, sasha, or this person, but i can relate to getting bashed online. i recently started receiving nasty comments on my blog (all of a sudden, after blogging for MONTHS) and, while they are under different screennames, all ‘read’ the same, if you catch my drift. they reek of one particular person venting at me.

    i have no idea who it is, but i have a feeling its a. someone that knows me personally and b. quite possibly an ex-friend or lover. and i will tell you this about online bullies, especially online bullies that arent even bold enough to leave their real names: they’re cowards.

    theyre angry cowards that hide behind a computer screen to try to make themselves feel better about their pathetic little lives. its sad and, if anything, it should make you feel like youre doing something right that youve already amassed such a collection of HATERS (i majorly dislike that term, but still)

    good luck and sorry for the rant lol

    This level of manipulation and deception reeks of Antisocial Personality Disorder, Narcissistic Personality Disorder, or something of the like (which makes it even more disgusting that they would bash you for being bipolar – we may have our challenges, but we aren’t cruel sociopaths!). Good for you for calling them out – that said, sociopaths by nature have a severely damaged conscience, so definitely steer clear if you do see them out and about.

  6. Jazmenha November 30, 2010 at 11:46 am Permalink

    That is TOTAL bull shit that someone would have the nerve to use several different CCL names while writing on here making disrespectful comments and such under various fake names, like your blog is a big game that they are playing. This is Sasha’s blog where she shares openly and honestly her personal life experiences- show some fucking respect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry you are dealing with this Sasha- hugs to you- you know I am who I am :) by all my personal emails sent directly to you hehehe and you even know what I look like now. hehehe Please don’t loose faith that we are all frauds using various names (who the hell even has time to do that?????) cause we aren’t and those who are doing that will be discovered.

  7. Jazmenha November 30, 2010 at 12:23 pm Permalink

    Sasha I have to add that I am even happier now knowing that you have someone as wonderful as Remi in your life by how she had your back in this situation and she encouraged you to track down this slime-bag and call this person out on her B.S.. Remi you are a class act and I am so sincerely glad that Sasha has you in her corner watching out for her best interest (now for a lifetime-smiles).

  9. Jazmenha November 30, 2010 at 3:39 pm Permalink

    And what is creepy now is that she will prob take on another couple of fake names and keep writing under them since she’s been caught. Can you block her from accessing CCL all together? I’m sure there is some way- I’ll research that :) for you. She doesn’t need another fake name (s) she needs to get a life and stay out of yours! OMG some people are serious mental issues.

  11. Rexie November 30, 2010 at 5:36 pm Permalink

    I have been thinking about this today, and I believe I know who the bitch is. I am gutted because I truly believe what people say about themselves, and when they go to the extent she did to portray herself as an honorable person with integrity and then stoop to the level she did, well, I sort of lose faith in humanity. I am sorry, Sasha, that you let her in only to be stabbed so royally in the back. There ARE good people out here, people who WOULD NEVER to what she did to a “friend”. Why did she do it? There are a millions reasons why, but I don’t waste my time psychoanalyzing that kind of treachery. The irony of this is so rich it makes my nose bleed.

  12. Femmelover November 30, 2010 at 7:50 pm Permalink

    Sasha, I was at work and logged onto my FB page and saw your comment about this. Couldn’t wait to get home to ready about it on CCL.
    Damn! What a loser this person is. There’s a song about backstabbers. It makes perfect sense about this idiot! I knew you would be the one to take the high road…zero doubt about it, lady!

  13. Elegy November 30, 2010 at 9:53 pm Permalink

    Am I the only one who still thinks this poster is going to keep writing under their given name as if nothing happened? >.>; I hope not, but when you make multiple accounts, that’s usually the type.

    Sasha and Remi are bosses.

    P.S.
    I’m sorry those comments bothered you so much Sasha, to the extent that they were still on your radar to this date.

  14. jesse November 30, 2010 at 10:04 pm Permalink

    I don’t know if anyone else noticed, or if this even has anything to do with it, but I noticed that someone’s blogs are mysteriously missing from CCL? Not to cast stones if there is some other, less sinister reason behind that. My apologies if it’s totally unrelated. But um, ya, that totally blows on many levels. It shakes my opinion of the lesbian population, which sucks since I’m part of that.

    Sorry Sasha that happened to you.

    Never commented before always just been a reader. But this made me so mad! I too have put 2 & 2 together & pretty much figured out who the psycho is. Wow! She’s really unstable you might want to Avoid her if youvrun into her. Can’t give you enough credit for how you dealt with this whole bizarre situation. Not sure I wouldn’t have put her shit on blast for such treachery. But that’s just me.

    On another note, mad props on the techie ninja skills you showed with this cyber smack down! Damn girl! Who knew you were so geeky in a cool way I mean. Haha :)

    Ya so like. What a really fucked up thing she did.

    You rock. Remi rocks. Your geeky tech ninja skills rock.

    Prop be my 1st & only comment I ever leave so I thought I’dake it count.

  20. RadDyke December 1, 2010 at 5:24 am Permalink

    Ladies and gentlebutches! Accusing someone when you have no idea if they’re the person Sasha is talking about? Totally doesn’t sit well, especially if that person was indeed not the correct one.
    I think we should just sit back and let Sasha do what she had to do on this one (which she did) and keep all the dyke drama out of it at the risk of hurting someone who we don’t know is guilty.

  21. A concerned friend December 1, 2010 at 7:03 am Permalink

    Yes, this person was in the wrong. Yes, we seem to know who it is. However, I respect Sasha for not putting the direct name of this commenter on this post, and I would like to think we all have the tact to do the same.

    Please, also keep in mind that any name calling you may do of said person will just be stooping to their level and bullying them in the same way. Be the bigger people here.

  22. Mz. Pink December 1, 2010 at 7:53 am Permalink

  24. Jazmenha December 1, 2010 at 9:13 am Permalink

    Maybe it is the part of me that got totally burned lately, but I can’t help but think she is reading all of our comments and laughing. That she feels no regret and that she’ll be back on here commenting under another name or 2 or 3 if she hasn’t already. Creepy! Who know? Hopefully she learned her lesson and will leave Sasha’s blog alone.

    *big hugs*

  29. Rexie December 1, 2010 at 2:18 pm Permalink

    Sasha is a classy lady, and it shows in how she handled this situation. The evidence points in a certain direction, and I think if we were going down the wrong path, she might step in and say so. We know for sure that Weaksauce person publicly said some pretty hateful and potentially damaging things to Sasha. We can only guess about the things said under other assumed names. In my opinion, that person deserves whatever hate she gets from us here. Bah! To think that she didn’t want to be associated with or grouped in the same class as another esteemed CCL writer just makes me cackle. I guess I have no class.

  30. Bec December 1, 2010 at 2:50 pm Permalink

    Sasha-

    Please explain- why one of the writers here on CCL has gone- because somehow it’s getting mixed in with this issue and I don’t think that’s right or fair. Raye is also saying it’s vindication- which seems to further confuse the issue with this one. Please could you enlighten us.

    I, for one will miss the her posts and prescence on CCL. I do not condone what’s happening to you from weeksauce but had ‘jesse’ not drawn my attention to the missing blog posts it would of gone un-noticed. My question is only to clarify that these two issues are unrelated.

    Thanks.

  31. Natalie December 1, 2010 at 3:14 pm Permalink

    I feel no shame in jumping to a conclusion here – it’s not much of a jump (self-obsessed guest writer mysteriously disappears from the list along with some of her posts the same day this charade is revealed), and if it’s not said guest writer, well, she can pipe right up and set things straight with a new post. God knows she loves her a self-righteous rant. Time will tell.

    Vindication indeed, Raye! Too fucking bad she victimized Sasha so harshly in the process.

  32. Sasha December 1, 2010 at 3:19 pm Permalink

    Dear Bec and all the other readers that have commented on this …

    I feel I must tread lightly so as not to do the very thing I said I would not. However, I can not tell you what you are hoping to hear. Take from that what you will. :(

    I will say that like Rexie said, I would never have allowed my friends to be wrongly accused on here and damage their reputations.

    I guess when it comes down to it, I can only protect this person so much without totally compromising myself, my blog and what I feel is right. I did what I had to do to cut weaksauce out of my life entirely.

    The comments she left did hurt me a lot, more then most of the other hateful comments, because when someone knows you personally they can hit you where they know it hurts the most. It also leaves me wondering how many other fake names and IP addresses she has used. But I neither have the patience nor desire to spend tracking that down. What I found out already was more then enough. Any more evidence really wouldn’t change anything.

    That person is not longer in our lives. I do not wish her any ill will. Honestly I don’t. But I’ve been hurt way too much by her and others like her in the past and really just want to spend my time with my good, trusted friends. I know who they are and this entire situation only acted like a spotlight to highlight all the truly wonderful angels in my life.

    It is what it is. I’m sure there’s a lesson in there for me, I’m trying to figure it out, without taking a cynical lesson from it.

    But we can all move on now. Happy that CCL is once again, ALL OURS :) The good, the beautiful and the butch ;) And of course, everything gloriously in between!!!

    I love you guys. Seriously.

  33. Natalie December 1, 2010 at 3:31 pm Permalink

    Sasha – I’m so so sorry she did this to you, and used her knowledge of your vulnerabilities to victimize you so heartlessly. I know all too well how this sort of thing can affect those of us strong enough to be openly navigating the bipolar road. Just remember you are incredibly strong and talented – that’s why people like her gravitate to you. And everything she said was utter bullshit.

  34. Bec December 1, 2010 at 3:34 pm Permalink

    (just reread all the comments)

    I can’t believe how quick we all are to turn against one of the writers on here- I agree with Raddyke- lets not jump too massive conclusions…I find it beyond hard to believe all this. The missing CCL writer gave lots of good content, was cordial with everyone, defended her beliefs, was always helpful to us all- went out dancing with sasha- wrote pieces for this website when sasha wasn’t up to it, spurned some interesting debates, gave style advice- and for the most part was a very active prescence here at CCL.

    Why are we suddenly all jumping to conclusions? I have asked Sasha to explain why- I don’t think we should be ‘running anyone down’ Did noone see the hilarious recaps she did with AJ? I just find it beyond hard to associate her with this other person Sasha is having problems with (weeksauce).

    I love this blog- but man, let’s wait for confirmation on it before we jump in on the bashing wagon. IMO.

  35. Jazmenha December 1, 2010 at 5:09 pm Permalink

    Hugs to you Sasha – We all love you, support you and stand besides you. Just keep on blogging with your bad self :) and know that the rest of us take what you have to say and what is shared on CCL seriously. And OMG come what may in the end you are the biggest winner of all having Remi in your life forever!!!!!!! :) hugs Jaz

  36. Raye December 1, 2010 at 5:50 pm Permalink

    I have missed you too Sasha! I have also missed CCL. I know you understand the craziness of the season & making time for family stuff but I will be back shortly… possibly with a new blog soon. Happy Holidays everyone!

  37. Elegy December 1, 2010 at 6:57 pm Permalink

    Well, that says it all- we know who it is. Tnanks for clearing it up, and once again sorry she was acting like a sociopath towards you. #kanyeshrug

  38. WWG December 1, 2010 at 8:32 pm Permalink

    I know nothing of the behind the scenes drama that happened, but I am sorry that it had to happen. I truly am shocked at who the suspected person is as I originally assumed it was an ex of yours who was bitter. I found the missing blogger interesting in many ways, as I do of all who take their time to write here and share. I don’t condone such underhanded and nasty ways however and if that is happening, then it’s a good thing that the offending person has been removed.

    Moving on…

  39. Jazmenha December 1, 2010 at 8:36 pm Permalink

    Bec – Didn’t Sasha’s letter to you at 3:19 clarify with enough “confirmation”? She was pretty clear about who is behind all this hurtful mess in her reply, “I can’t tell you what you were hoping to hear” among her other responses. Out of respect for Sasha I think we need to focus our time and energies not on the bullshitting back-stabbers in life but instead on those who lift us up, those in life who inspire us and encourage us to be our best selves – with that being said Sasha :) I would not mind reading another blog about the Remi/Sasha love story. :) smiles

  40. GC December 1, 2010 at 9:56 pm Permalink

    Wow Sasha, so sorry you had to deal with a backstabber. I know how it feels to think that someone is your friend only to find out that they’re backstabbing you.
    Any way, I’m glad you figured out who she was, so now you know where you stand with this person.

  41. Rexie December 1, 2010 at 11:07 pm Permalink

    Bec: I agree with you on many points, but also I think the reasons you gave are exactly why some of us have a feeling of betrayal beyond defending Sasha. She was a familiar member of a community, well accepted, and appeared to be something she was not (as difficult as that may be to accept). I don’t care what the backstory is or was, she masqueraded as a personal friend to Sasha and Remi, and to cut Sasha’s throat in front of her public is inexcusable and unforgiveable. Just the snippet of the comment that was provided in this post is enough to determine she is an abuser, which is reason enough to stay as far away from her as possible. She needs help, and I hope she seeks it.

    I agree with Jazmenha’s last comment, though. I think it’s time to focus on more positive things. Onward, Upward and Forward…

  42. Bec December 2, 2010 at 7:19 am Permalink

    Re- Onwards and upwards-

    Thank you Sasha for answering my question. I have read your blog for the past 18 months- before all the guest writers etc and whilst you are far away from me in a different time zone- I have always felt an affinity with you and at times you have been a voice in the dark for me- being a gay femme also, is never an easy road.

    I naturally I support your decision to deal with this as you see fit, and at the urgings of others on here- I can see that onwards and upwards is the best policy, but something about this whole issue doesn’t sit will with me. I still feel you may of made an error, based on you saying that all the bad comments came from a different i.p address and on my gut feeling, I also fail to see the motivation for it. I don’t want to drag it on. I can see that would upset all on here.

    I can not also understand why now suddenly her blog is gone and her tweets are now locked. Which is an admission of guilt I guess. I just am really, really surprised and Raye whilst I like you and welcome you and your blog back to us here- to seek this as vindication is uncool. Since there are no winners out of this- not for us, not for Sasha and definitely not for lost writer.

    I guess I will just have to trust your judgment- and accept it is, what it is. I won’t comment any further on this as obviously I’m the only one with any problem with it and it isn’t my intention to piss anyone off. I really hope not to face a backlash from everyone for having an opinion and asking Sasha to be really, really sure. I have read quite a few nasty comments to Sasha on here, and what they are all from ‘said writer?’… Why? Whilst all the time contributing very personal posts to us- sorry but none of that adds up- it seems very out of character…There is a chance that we have got this wrong. Wasn’t it Alice from the L word- that said, ‘lesbians just love to eat their own’

    I heard a quote once that has never left me- and it went something like- ‘when people do seemingly unforgivable things- we should fall back on greater truths we know about them’ and whilst my opinion is clearly unpopular- I just find it hard to believe, beyond hard.

    Sorry Sasha- its just hard to take all in. She had a blog I used to read and I watched her on you tube her running blog there, she’s mates with A.J and well I have always found her to be lovely and giving and not the sort of person to take any interest in ‘back-stabbing you’. She seemed to moral and too, well let me stop since I’m the one that needs to accept this but really it doesn’t seem like the same persons whose nasty comments I read bashing you. That did seem like an old bitter ex.

    (Sasha if you don’t want to post this- I fully understand) I have no way of contacting you other than this. I just wanted to tell you really, this seems wrong. Bec.x you have my email.

  43. Natalie December 2, 2010 at 10:53 am Permalink

    “Bec” – There is nothing “cordial” or “helpful” about bashing someone repeatedly under multiple identities and betraying a friend in such a cruel manner. Your vehement and detailed defense of this person is…interesting. She portrayed herself as upstanding and above reproach, while committing atrocities behind the scenes – extremely common behavior for a sociopath. She doesn’t need anyone to defend her character, she just needs a great deal of help. It makes me cringe to think she works with kids.

    And Sasha has taken the high road, which speaks volumes on her fortitude and character. Take lemons and make some damn delicious lemonade! CCL has a host of wonderful writers, for which we are all clearly thankful, or else we would not obsessively read and comment. ;)

  44. Raye December 2, 2010 at 12:48 pm Permalink

    oh and Rexie… You’re all class Love.

  45. Jazmenha December 2, 2010 at 3:42 pm Permalink

    (Side note to Natalie- I totally agree with you (if I may queot you) in what you said to Bec “Your vehement and detailed defense of this person is…interesting.” )

    Like I mentioned previously and then Rexie did as well- for respect towards Sasha let’s just move on to something positive please Sasha does not need to keep rehashing this crap…. I mean this is a VERY special once and a life time time in Sasha’s/Remi’s lives with their recent engagement and planning for their upcoming wedding and it does NOT need to be overshadowed by some nutcase (regardless of who it is) trashing Sasha under various names on CCL. Sasha defended herself and put and end to this unbelievable harassment. We are all rallied around her and will continue to do so (Sasha you know I love ya :) ). Like I said before out of respect for Sasha we need to focus on those in our lives who build us up and help us be our best selves. It is not good for Sasha or anyone who deals with betrayal like that to have to keep having to rehash it and keep defending and explaining why she was understandably hurt etc. Sasha don’t make me fill your email box with 30 or 40 etc different wedding websites again LMAO cause you know I will. :) hehe- I think that made ya smile. :)

    @ Raye Hey my feelings are hurt lol I AM a class act too :) smiles – be nice I have a bad head cold. lol So yes Raye I agree Rexie is a class act :) and I toast my glass of cold medicine to her. :)

  46. Jazmenha December 2, 2010 at 3:49 pm Permalink

    Natalie – Just to clarify what I wrote was not directed at you- just what I queoted because I totally agree with you. I wrote the rest as a general statement. I think what you wrote was very well written and very supportive of Sasha. I agree with your comments there completely. (I have a bad head cold and have had a little too much cold medication LOL today.)

  47. Raye December 2, 2010 at 4:39 pm Permalink

    Bec, I understand your need to find an alternative to this disturbing truth but there are other things behind the scenes that Sasha has not divulged about this person due to her generous and classy nature. I have not made mention of things I am privy to because it was not my place to do so. And despite many opinions to the contrary here, I do in fact have class and integrity. I only made mention of the vindication because Sasha personally afforded me the opportunity to do so. She knows I am on her side and we have BOTH been on the ugly side of this person’s fake personality. I said it a long time ago and no one believed me. Like I said… sweet vindication and I have sweet Sasha and Remi to thank for that. So I will.

  48. Raye December 2, 2010 at 5:00 pm Permalink

    lol yes Jaz you are a classy lady as well for sure. I hope you feel better soon. If it makes you feel any better I am a little under the weather myself. Here’s to better health around the corner… cheers!

    As the saying goes what goes around will come around and the truth always shines through the darkness. Some people are just very manipulative. The truth is we don’t really know everyone the way we think we know them. And that reality can be a harsh awakening and is not always the easiest thing to take. The reality that some people have many sides and many personalities is also not easy to process and personally I find that a very disturbing truth-creepy!!! Unfortunately that is the reality in this case. Sometimes the best you can do with the reality you are unfortunately given (especially when that reality is based in cold hard facts) is except it and keep moving forward. (And for the record Raye I do think you have integrity and that is NOT my cold medicine talking.lol) Jaz

    “I naturally I support your decision to deal with this as you see fit, and at the urgings of others on here- I can see that onwards and upwards is the best policy, but something about this whole issue doesn’t sit will with me. I still feel you may of made an error, based on you saying that all the bad comments came from a different i.p address and on my gut feeling, I also fail to see the motivation for it. I don’t want to drag it on. I can see that would upset all on here”
    Since you can identify with Sasha, I think it’s safe to say that she feels or felt that same way. I know first hand as well that it’s a slap in the face that a person or people you considered your friends turn out to not meet your high hopes. Of course you don’t want to believe that this person who you thought was a friend was being two faced! Of course you want to look for another explanation. But I do have to say one thing- tackling it head on instead of sticking one’s head in the sand is a courageous thing of Sasha to do. In addition to that, she’s also courageous for not openly naming names. Anyone who comes to this blog as a clean slate will, for the most part, not have a negative impression of our previous blogger, and she will, for the most part, be able to move on with a clear slate.

    Also, Sasha said three telling things:
    1) In the original blog she wrote: “Comments that this person have left have had the sting of familiarity and Remi, more then I suspected that we knew who this was. At her urging, I tracked all the comments of one IP address and *voila* MANY more comments and fake names than I had even imagined came up! INCLUDING her real name. (Or screen name that I know her by, along with her personal email.)”
    Also, in the paragraph following: “…with the exception of that one tell tale comment, where she used her real name. (I suspect it’s her work computer or a coffee house) And we all know, it only takes once for the truth to be revealed and it can never be untold.”

    2 and 3) In the comments when she confirmed through omission, “I feel I must tread lightly so as not to do the very thing I said I would not. However, I can not tell you what you are hoping to hear. Take from that what you will.” What I personally take from that is: the previous commenters singled out a guest writer. Sasha can’t tell us what we want to hear, which would be “no, she’s my friend and I’m not talking about her,” and “I will say that like Rexie said, I would never have allowed my friends to be wrongly accused on here and damage their reputations.” Just saying… read between the lines.

    And I don’t think it’s overkill for Raye to feel vindicated, she did profile how she saw said (*alleged*, for the PC folks) backstabber, towards the tail end of the tiff.

    Ok- I accept that I have been wrong in my judgment of her. I trust in the consensus of opinion on here. I will let the matter drop, as I definitely feel this is usurping on Sasha’s engagement joy as you all have mentioned and I also agree she shouldn’t have to repeatedly defend her actions to me.

    @Raye- thanks for your understanding response- I have at times questioned your opinions but never your integrity- your comments out of all the others gave me the most solace= so thank you and yes I agree more was left unsaid than said.

    @Jaz & Natalie- thanks for your response(s)- I appreciate that with so much fake naming coming to light- it must seem ‘suspicious’ to you that I should and I’ll quote you’ “Your vehement and detailed defense of this person is…interesting.” but you have to understand that I just found this incredibly difficult to accept and I wanted to be able to say that- to help me understand- it was not for any other reason.

    I have read a lot of replies from both of you over the last few months and I know that neither of you would of meant to offend by that comment- despite it’s outward appearance. It was detailed- to show you what I was struggling with. Thanks again- I can see I was now under a false impression and I can more easily let it go- so my post was useful, well, for me at least.

  52. Elegy December 2, 2010 at 5:24 pm Permalink

    Aww, Jaz and Nat, if I may be so bold as to nickname you to keep my longer posts just a smidge shorter! You guys are so uplifting, it’s really needed and appreciated! :D I hope you guys continue to post.

  53. Natalie December 2, 2010 at 5:38 pm Permalink

    Raye – You have always come across with integrity…incredibly opinionated and full of attitude, but definitely a person of integrity. A true Texan through and through! :) (And I’m guessing many (if not all) of the “Raye haters” that popped up during that feud were actually her…or a bunch of her fans huddled around one laptop in one coffee shop…yeah, right, that’s the ticket.)

  54. Sasha December 2, 2010 at 8:40 pm Permalink

    ok, WOW! This blog has gotten so many comments, my blog did something I didn’t even know it could do, it cut off the older comments from the first page and there is now a link at the bottom left hand corner that says, “older comments” …. just a little fyi if, like me you freak out when you only see 3 or 4 comments on this blog. LOL, I thought I had lost them. *update* I’m going to see if I can change this so they all show up on one page.

    I want to thank all of you for being understanding and moving on from this topic. I want to get back to happier things.

    But several of you have been extremely perceptive and I want to thank you for that.

    And dear heart, Bec …. thank you for letting this go now. But at least, like Elegy pointed out by not naming her publicly she is free to go on with her own path, untainted by the mess she left behind. I won’t go after her with it as long as she steers clear of me and mine. I just want peace.

    Raye …. I hope that you do blog again for CCL. I always loved your strong voice and brutal honesty. I’ve missed you and you are the one that has been chivalrous all along. Even to the point of bowing out of CCL, just to keep the peace. But I felt that was a HUGE loss, both personally and publicly. I hope that now, you will find it in your heart to come back. As you can see, there are a lot of us that miss you.

    But I want to tell the world here, that Raye has always been my dear friend and always will be whether she has time to blog or not. :) She’s CCL family. :)

    And thank you again to every single one of you strong women that have jumped to my defense. It really has made my heart soar and more then made up for the hurt caused by one individual. That is nothing in comparison to the support and camaraderie I have felt reading your comments.

    It’s been very upsetting and sad, this entire situation. But it is over and hopefully I’ll be able to post something a little happier in the coming days! :)

    I like the way you handle things Sasha. You’re a pretty cool girl.

  56. Jazmenha December 2, 2010 at 9:15 pm Permalink

    @ Bec I did not mean to offend you by agreeing with what Natalie said. I just thought that she brought up good points and I agree with her. I now see you were expressing concern since you weren’t sure she actually did it and your were understandably shocked that this person could actually have done this. I hope you can understand where I was coming from in agreement to what Natalie said about it looking suspicious. Thanks for clarifying that and again I meant no offense. Believe me I know what it is like to have someone let you down. Keep your head up Bec there are a lot of wonderful people out there. :)
    @ Sasha YES Happier things please! :) Actually I am in Happy Land LOL LOL with this cough syrup. LOL LOL OMG I don’t understand why I am not feeling better I took a lot. LOL

  57. Sasha December 2, 2010 at 9:17 pm Permalink

    lol, Jazi!!!! Slow down on the cold medicine my dear.

  58. Jazmenha December 2, 2010 at 9:41 pm Permalink

    To Sahsa- LOL I have bronchidus (spelling???) an ear infection and sinus infection and feel like …. plus I have been coughing nonstop and LOL drinking cough syrup all day but I don’t understand why it is not working to make me feel better. It should be working by now. ??? LOL Oh well hopefully this will teach others not to do the same – cough syrup does NOT work- and hopefully brought some MUCH NEEDED- OMG – much needed laughter to you etc.

    *lifts a jigger of Nyquil up in toast with Jazmenha* sneeeeeeeeerrrrrkkkkk!! I, too, have a cold at the moment. Cheers and hugs to both you and Raye.

    geeeeeee….the comment didn’t take the first time, so I did it again and now there’s duplicates…..or maybe that’s the cold meds making me see double. 8P

  62. Jazmenha December 2, 2010 at 10:46 pm Permalink

    Rexie LMAO well at least we are not the only one tipsy off cough syrup. LOL LOL I just wish for all I drank of the med that it would have helped somewhat oh well……and now I am wide awake -great. LOL I wish we could have a BIG bridal shower for Sasha that would be wonderful….but I don’t think we should serve cough syrup. LOL Hope you and all the others out there- Raye is sick w a cold too- feel better very soon!!! :) Jaz

  63. Raye December 3, 2010 at 3:40 pm Permalink

    I actually laughed out loud when I read your comment Natalie. Jaz & Rexie my health issues are unexplained as of yet (I guess that is why they call it practicing medicine) but they are neurological in nature (probably from working around chemicals since I was 19). However thanks for the well wishes. I used to get bronchitis about 6 times in a year and I can tell you that what always helps me is Mucinex and green tea with lemon(2 bags) as hot as you can stand it. If that doesn’t work, Gentleman Jack (Jack Daniels) in hot tea ladies… at the very least you will be feeling toasty and happy. lol I hope you are all feeling better soon. Sasha, I love ya girl.

  64. Jazmenha December 3, 2010 at 4:00 pm Permalink

    Thanks Raye I am on doc meds for this damn bronchitis and ear infection etc but nothing seems to help. I drank so much cough syrup yesterday that I was beyond wired until 1 am and then am exhausted today. LOL I think Rexie and I need to stay away from drinking cough syrup for awhile LOL after our happy land experience as evident in our posts above LOL LOL or heck maybe not- life is short right. :) LOL
    Hope all goes well w your health issues.

  65. Rexie December 3, 2010 at 11:48 pm Permalink

    Am going to try your remedy/ies Raye, thanks for suggesting. Will start off with the lighter approach, but will resort to the heavier artillery if needed. I usually am able to shake things like this off after a couple of days but this one is holding on for dear life and threatens to dig deeper. I am sorry to hear about your troubles. Chemicals can cause all kinds of problems that are difficult to trace. Hope you’re able to get the upper hand on everything soon. I know about you Texans (lived in Dallas some years and worked with a seriously “Texas” family you’re likely familiar with; dad was also born and raised there). I do know that not many things are able to keep “y’all” down for long. ;) OOooooOOOooopppsss….I seem to remember a certain poster was not pleased with personal stories being shared on here so I’ll just be mosying along now, ya hear?

  66. Sasha December 4, 2010 at 12:07 am Permalink

    I wish I could figure out a way to make a social networking section for CCL!!!

    But until I figure something out, y’all should make facebook pages if you haven’t already … or if you’re super private just make one “just for online friends” … you don’t even have to put any pics up to give away your identity! Just use your screen names …. and then you can freely exchange your FB links on here :) Personally, I adore the fact that the comment section is so active. But things can get lost in the thread.

    @Raye – sure it’s not asthma? I used to chew Zpacks like candy and was still always sick. Finally got to a good doctor, got dxed with asthma and while not always better, I know how to handle it now.

    Hope y’all feel better soon! And bless you (to whomever just sneezed – yes I heard you through the internet ;-) ).

  68. Raye December 4, 2010 at 1:44 am Permalink

    WWG actually I have no signs of the common cold just a staggering drunken feeling (without the fun of making a drunken ass of myself)that leaves me off balance, foggy-headed and absent minded, and it never goes away for sometimes months at a time. I think when I was having bronchitis all the time it was partially due to being a Texan in New England who was too stubborn to wear a coat when I should have. ;) I still have a wet cough when I wake up from time to time as a result of that. But as a laboratory technician exposed to a myriad of chemicals for years I am sure some of it must have leached into my system causing whatever this is now. It first showed its ugly head in 2006 I think when I was a service technician for Honda. I have had MRI’s, X-rays, ENT specialists, neurologists, chiropractors, all of them stumped. eh. I live with the episodes and keep on movin but it sure makes me tired. My workouts help but it is still rough. I have a family to feed though ya know? Anywho… enough about me. I just wanted to clarify that I don’t have a cold and the explanation got way longer than I intended lol.

  69. WWG December 4, 2010 at 4:02 am Permalink

    @Raye – Then you need to see an allergist, and a pulmonologist, and an environmental doctor.

    Rexie – Where the f*ck are your manners posting personal details like that??

    Kidding!! :)

    My previous comments referred to lighthearted chit-chat posted on a blog requesting help for the family in dire straits…it just seemed disrespectful of their situation. And yeah, I found some of the more intimate exchanges a bit off-topic in the past, but that’s just me and my married panties getting in a bunch. So feel free to ignore me. ;)

    Sasha- you could just install a board, or link to one (like proboards or the type of boards you see attached to webcomics*) and that would take care of that. :)

    IP Board; Invision Powered Services product- http://www.invisionpower.com/products/board/

    Proboards is, of course, free.
