Well, I think Azalaksh has a good point ... indeed, a point that is perhaps easily overlooked. There was an S on the end of that word ... to whom was it addressed to? All of us? I'm sure you all know what that means but I frankly think that having someone refer to a few or all of us here as B*TCHES says more than what any of us could say about this situation.

Frankly, I don't see why this person is still here. When you get banned from a website it isn't just your username that is banned .. YOU are banned. You are not whatever name you choose to be called by, you are the person making the posts. Just changing your username doesn't make you a different person. You don't get banned from a website, especially this one, for just overstepping a boundary a little. Being banned from here requires a lot ... Randall is one of the most tolerant, patient, and understanding people I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. This person has been banned repeatedly ... and, oddly enough, not just for being recognized for who she is, ie, she hasn't been banned just because someone found out who she was and that she wasn't supposed to be here. She has been banned repeatedly for her behavior here. So ... here we have a person who has gotten herself banned, come back and had people willing to give her another chance, gotten herself banned, come back and had people willing to give her another chance, gotten banned, come back ....

Not only am I having trouble understanding how this keeps happening, I'm having trouble understanding why it keeps happening. Perhaps we haven't had too many people who keep coming back after they've been banned (and letting someone come back really rather defeats the purpose of banning someone in the first place). Or perhaps those others who have sneaked back have learned to be respectful of others here and thus have not called attention to themselves by refraining from behaving in the manner that got them banned originally.

You are more than valuable here. I wasnt attacking you personally. I dont even know you.

I was trying to state the way it is generalised that signs defend themselves.

Please, theres no need to say anymore.
Actually, I dont need to say anymore.

I guess we all have learned a way to respond any way we like without expecting a "negative" response ... just post in another language.

1) SBM was NOT cornered. I advise everyone to READ through her posts and actually OBSERVE her attacks - then come to a conclusion.

2) SBM has been given THREE chances to redeem her online LL personality. She was first banned for posting under the name of

"Atlantic Myst" in Dece/ January:
http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum16/HTML/001065.html

3) Atlantic Myst then became "Mystic Dreamz" I implore you doubters to please go to GU and just look at the many times she has posted - not only that she adds hateful little notes to just about every post she can find. When AM / MD gets angry at someone she calls them something racial- like Hick or tries to call them "stalkers" " Lesbians" etc...

4) When she became SBM she tried to be a nice as possible. WE WERE all tolerant of her, knowing her true identity, but also knowing it was only a matter of time before she became her normal gutter mouth self. Sure enough- here we are again.

5) PUTA...that is slang (especially here in the southwest) for b1tch, wh0re, s1ut. Take your pick- we use it interchangable in our Spanish. It is extremly derogatory and it conjures of the vision of a slum prostitute waiting you take you around the corner. If I ever used that word growing up around my parents or my dad's family I would have had a red mark over my face from where I got slapped.

6) WHERE in the history of LL have we had someone that kept getting banned, then reappearing under new names? It is NOT A.D.D it is something sick.

We are tolerant here, we always give people chances, we have all done stupid things before- but this CRAP has to STOP. It is getting old and polluting this forum.

So- SBM...change your name again..do what ever it takes, but should you come back- act like a responsible person. Post all you want, disagree all you want, but save your mean little remarks like "I'll bet your husband..or go back to your hick town" for the people you meet on the street or another forum.

If you keep this up, people will begin to ignore you, your posts will go unanwered and you will, in effect, be shunned. NO one wants that, but you have to start being civil and not resort to using, race, economics or perceived sexual orientation against people.

How are ya sweetie!!! Sorry I didn't come sooner - I have been kind of busy taking care of the Bull now that he is home LOL...

Sorry you had to go through this. You are NOT someone that lashes out or gangs up on people. You are one of the most tolerant people here- and yet- you stand up for people to care about. That is something to be admired.

It is better to stand up for someone you care about and love (or for the little guy) that to be apathetic. In this world we can't always have "Just anything goes" words hurt and they do damage- I am glad you are here because it seems we don't have enough people that care enough to protect others.

Your husband has found quite a woman (as is obvious from the sweet things he says to you.. )

Lots of Love and Light
