Umm.. please READ the paragraph.. and use your thinking cap:

"It is a shame you act as you do and I am sure you would say the same about me. To this day I have not titled a thread Rainbow only to start an argument based on a conversation (that did not include you at first) that made you angry. You insinuated yourself in that conversation and started in on my accomplishments."

___________________

I said YOU insinuated yourself into my conversation with someone questioning my accompliments. That means, it was between myself and someone else and you butted in then when I slammed you back- you cried foul.

Please get a dictionary and learn the proper meaning of words before you start talking about cobwebs.

Man I feel sorry for you.

PROVE that Mirandee and I tried to get you banned!

You can't....you know you can't.....

and I know you can't because it NEVER happened!

YOU SAID I QUESTIONED YOUR BACKGROUND.....

Now you're trying to twist the fact that I chided you for "bragging" about it, which is totally different from questioning it.....

You're the master of "twisting..."

I certainly HOPE you were NOT directing your (readily understandable) exasperation at the behavior exhibited on this thead, exculsively toward the dialog between Pid and myself that took place on the last two pages here...(to be more specific pages 7 and 8)....

......because if THAT is the case, it appears to me that you kinda, sorta, OVERLOOKED all the discord that already took place between various "other people' on the first pages of this thread.... (that would be pages 1,2,3,4,5 and part of 6 ) Waaaay before I entered the picture!

Things took a different turn on page 6......as discussions then came up about
homeschooling and Waldorf which certainly must have given some much welcome relief from the insulting conversations that had been taking place, prior to the sane discussions on schooling...... *sigh*

I guess what I'm trying to point out to you is that this is NOT a thread that has been entirely devoted to a knock down, drag out war between "Rainbow~" and "Pid!" (as many people like to point out when referring to the "discord" at GU)

There was "war" taking place on this thread before I even entered the scene, and there were a number of different people involved!

For goodness sake, I did not even come here until seven pages had been filled up, mostly with inconsequential prattle....
and when I did come here, it was once again to defend myself....when my name was brought up, by Pidaua....

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++=

FOR THE RECORD....THIS IS WHAT MY FIRST POST ON THIS THREAD, SAID....

I don't know who "Ol' Stainblow" is (yes, GROW UP, Pid), ....but I'll tell you this....YES, I am here for DayDreamer and my screenname is Rainbow~... (altho she's proven she needs no one to back her up...I admire her spirit!).....

She really took a lot while she was here alone, and I was gone!....

Like the person with the strength of character I knew she possessed, she did NOT let it get to her...

Perhaps it's immature of me to want to defend myself (I think maybe Lotus has it right when she says to ignore it)....but it's still part of human nature that I possess.....

Maybe one day when I'm nearing sainthood (which I'm sure is many, many lifetimes in the futue), I'll have the forbearance it takes to overlook rudeness and meaness directed at me from other people....but right now....I don't take to it too well.....

Sorry to have messed up your thread...

I don't see any problem in defending yourself against people that make lies about you. And I thank you for your support against attacks on me

It's funny cuz I could have sworn I started this thread on the Racism (or Bigotry) in GU, and not waldorf or homeschooling.

I agree Harpyr, all that insulting and name calling makes me cringe....it reminds me when I was at school tbh.......

Feels sort of to see grown woman going there?

I think its very sad too....

Rainbow, I realize that you and pidaua aren't the only two people around here who relish in all this drama

Relish?

You actually think I enjoy this? Having to defend myself all the time, because someone is telling lies about me?

On the contrary!

I HATE it!

With a passion, yet!

In fact, I hate it so much that I often have to take a "vacation" from this place from time to time, just to renew my worn down spirit!

What you are mistaking for "relishing" is rather, evidence of the backbone that I finally grew after years of being told, "You're a wus...you have no backbone...you let people walk all over you" (I lay it on the Pisces stellium)

When I'm called very insulting names, such as "a drooling old hag" "a brain-dead moron" etc., there's not much I can really do about it (except at times, to "name call" right back which actually makes one look like a damn fool)

However, when I catch someone on this forum tellng deliberate outlandish lies about me...I WILL DEFEND MYSELF!

You may call it "relishing" the tension and sparks here, but I call it the RIGHT to set the record straight so the liar is exposed! A person's reputation is a pretty important thing!

I do NOT relish the nasty stuff that goes on here...

I'm truly Sorry to have given you the wrong impression...

Those who don't understand or don't want to understand the need for me to defend myself will just have to get over it....because I WILL defend myself everytime I catch someone LYING ABOUT ME!
