Subject: Ladyday, if you're out there lurking, click pls.

Ladyday, I tried at least 2 times on ATB to post a response to your comments about my presence there, but someone imemdiately deleted me. Luckily, the entire thread, including my comments, has been memorialized in one of the TT folders. I know you no longer hang out at TT, so I suspect you won't go to take a look. I'll be happy to cut and paste if you'd like.

I guess my point is that Jackie, Cabbie, Pilar, et al are ALWAYS out there deleting anyone's attempt to either (a) discuss Todd and Blair vs TnT or (b) defend him/herself against accusations that s/he is a flamer. I am NOT a flamer, or at least was not in that thread; in my early days I did some instigating, that's to be sure. All I did today was challenge others' comfort levels, which I believe is healthy and OK. Especially on a board that has access to the public.

It's long been my opinion that if Jackie et al want a board totally protected from "outsiders", they should make the board members-only. The fact that they do NOT indicates to me that they get their rocks off by squashing anyone who attempts to challenge their viewpoint (I say viewpoint rather than viewpoints because there truly is only one viewpoint there. For some reason, you are given a little slack over there, but I notice that whenever you cross the line over there, certain individuals start to get edgy with you.)

I'm sure a fair number of TT regulars would totally enjoy a down and dirty discussion about Todd and Blair vs. Todd and Tea. Unfortunately, way back when some loud squealing by the TnT group rapidly put the kibosh on that idea.

I just wanted you to know that there IS another side to the story.

Anyhow, have a great weekend and all that. I had great fun on the boards today. Actually got a little (and I do mean little) work done, too.

[> Hi Phil, I haven't been keeping track of the back and forth lately, but I always got the idea that they wanted to keep their board (and MD for that matter) completely free of T&B discussion because they might have some illusions that someone at OLTL was reading those boards and they want it to look like TnT was the popular fan choice... -- Sarah, 18:52:37 09/06/02 Fri

And bringing up an actual comparison between a couple who's had a real marraige with proclamations of love, children, and sex vs. a faux marraige of convenience sans sex and love but with punching and constant looks of physical disgust... well... just makes their couple look pretty sad.
