I can see why it bothers her when people don't treat her with the same respect, or resort to manipulative tactics to try and get on her nerves. From what I have seen, she would never do that. She never did it to me, and we did have quite an argument.

So my respect for her has been steadily growing all this time.

I realize you are androgyne, Lexx, and hope my use of "she" is not offensive.

Gratitude and peace to you.

For what it's worth, a lot of people think very highly of you and want nothing but the best for you. You give very insightful and meaningful posts, and it is clear you truly care about people.

Sibyl brought up Lexx's argument with Ami. Lexx responded, as would be expected, and then it seemed normal for others to let her know she is valued.

With my own comment, I didn't mean to suggest that all of Lexx's accusations against anyone, ever, are true. I don't know anything about your interactions with her, for example.

By bringing them up and rehashing the whole episode but this time leaving names out is not letting them die down.
It's a passive aggressive way of keeping the conflict going.

Lalalinda, I get what you are saying but I was just speaking in general that even though Lexxi feels frustrated or unable to talk that I support her and want her to keep posting. When I meant "haters" I wasn't referring to anyone in particular, as I haven't been around long enough to know the exact history between certain posters. The statement was to say rather that no matter how some people feel about Lexxi there are people like me who want Lexxi to keep posting and work towards resolving issues with other posters.

You are all excellent in your way.

Otherwise; Randall the Wise would not have called you forth.

Not surprising that such strong-willed women would show that.

It seems to create blockages in the different Forums, and that's not good for anyone.

Really, if you Love what LindaLand stands for, you will try not to let that happen.

Not that I don't do it myself.

But I would hope that we could all try to do a little better. If not for our own sake, perhaps for Randall?

I'm sure it tears him in two.

Even when I reference something from a couple of years ago I give a disclaimer of it as opposed to saying that person is like that today. And 10 years? I can barely find it in me to care.

My "favorite" was bringing up something Lexx supposedly did in 2005. For many of us, if you have to reach back nearly 10 years to provide a clear example (and that's even assuming it was exactly as it's reported) then you're actually complimenting them, saying they got better because you can't find anything since then, and many people would love to be with someone who only did something clearly wrong a decade ago but not since then. Had it been me who got called out on it I'd have thanked her!

Hmmm, me talking with myself when I was 21 (10 years ago)...that would quite the conversation, I'm not sure we'd get along.

Pixie, please, try to de-escalate, rather than escalate the situation. Thanks.

Still, it doesn't help when Lexx keeps being bashed (and those who defend her or even just say she's a good person then basically told to stop it, that they're causing the conflicts by being nice to her rather than those who bash her) and then when she responds back as y'all know she will then you act like she started it which gets her even more upset (as if she needs that when she's as sick as she is) while people like me don't like the blatant unfairness of it.

People do not see the entire picture, even Randall does not always see who started attacks;
like certain attacks on Charmaine and Catalina and myself and others.
So when I am finally goaded far too long by a haters and blow up because they attacked other members unprovoked and me unprovoked;
then I look like the one who started it.
That is what clever sly manipulative attackers do; goad and attack indirectly until I and others blow up and get the blame as the attacker planned.
Randall has told me to take the high road many times and I have done so. Yet those times the attacker was allowed to get away with it again and again and again. There have been several down through the years and eventually they blow it and Randall finally bans them for attacking and harassing folks.
So please do not paint me out in a negative light when you do not know the whole story.
And from what I have seen you are buddies with my main hater so you will of course badmouth me for her sake.

I am tired of this crap over and over.
It takes me a long long time and many repeated unprovoked attacks on myself and others before I finally lose my calm.

[b]This reply was NOT meant as an attack on anyone;
but as a defense against negative biased things the above poster has said about me without having all the facts.

Really am very tired of walking on eggshells, fearful of speaking out when folks are being abused,
and not belonging in the cliques I am a convenient target.

Surprised I have not been voted off as a mod by some mods and some members since it seems many hate me here especially my main hater and the buddies of my haters.

Big thanks all you nice folks here who do try to get along
and bless you all! [/B]

I meant no offense, Lexxi. And I am also not defending your main hater as you so say. If you had seen all our interactions you would know we frequently question each other's behavior, which I appreciate because it gives me insight. It is the reason we are on good terms, not because we often agree and are non-critical towards each other. I was therefore not referring to the content of your disagreement, which I neither believe nor disbelieve. In fact I know nothing about it, and did not wish to open that can of worms. I was merely referring to the most recent example (I, as a quite new member) could think of. I do not assume you started anything, nor do I blame you for whatever part you have in whatever this disagreement consists of. I can have no opinion on it as I am blissfully unaware. I did see the frustration behind your post, and so I know it was a single post and not something you ordinarily engage in. My post may have been slightly confusing as I was operating with multiple agendas. For that, I apologize. I was machinating again. I actually did not mean to refer to the matter of your disagreement at all. Simply that you were a Moderator criticizing another Moderator, as I am sure was preceded by more criticizing by the other Moderator. Such things rarely travel alone.

What I meant to signify with my post was this;

Firstly I was stating that contention between Moderators makes me uncomfortable.

Secondly I was attempting to question Faith on whether she was willing to give up a fraction of her independence.

Thirdly I was using your situation as a means of reminding Randall that should he choose to enforce such a rule it must be equal, as I worry he might be tempted to use it arbitrarily against Faith, especially as it seemed to me he brought it up to warn her what Modship entails.

Seeing as Moderators should have access to each emails (correct me if I am wrong, but this is my perception). It should therefore not be necessary to discuss personal disagreements in an open forum.

Please do not take this as a personal attack, it is not meant that way. There are obviously many people here who see things your way rather than mine. I am simply throwing in my two cents, which I feel obliged to do merely because they have not been voiced yet. I do not intend to question your integrity, position or contribution to this forum. I just thought I would toss in my perspective in hopes it would give people something to think about.
