I found it: GDN01. That's the most horrible...I don't know, I could swear there was more.

There was, but GDN01 requested that I delete it. (On edit: Though I can't remember if she asked that it all be deleted, so other examples may remain on the board.)

Hope she's well. That was awful.

Israelirealities/havanagila (sp?) left over the same thing, I believe. I/P discussions can really rip apart a community.


The way I remember it, havanagila left because she got freaked out by Dream's End haranguing her, accusing her of being a drama queen only pretending to have considered suicide in order to get attention, and practically daring her to do it. His behaviour was disgusting: incredibly irresponsible at best, and sadistic at worst. He wouldn't let up.

She was a real survivor, someone who'd been through hell and was struggling to get back on her feet, while raising a small child all by herself, under very difficult circumstances.

I liked her a lot, she was smart and insightful and had a LOT to contribute, especially on topics related to Israel and the Middle East. But she was too fragile at the time to deal with an asshole like Dream's End. I was livid that she left, while Dream's End stayed.

Of all those who've been banned or left, at least the ones I was familiar with, she's the only one I missed, and still miss.

Well, I'm not surprised he was banned, he could get pretty volatile and irrational, but I was just curious what the specific cause was.

My God Alice, you're right! I had forgotten all about that horrible situation.

I think the final straws were his accusations of pedophilia [to other board members] and his promises to see them imprisoned. I'm certain these allegations may've upset some people. That was the last thread he participated in anyway.

So he actually accused other people here directly of that? I see. Yikes.

Yes. Although I was only indirectly accused.
Personally, I had already abandoned the discussion when this other happened. It came to be obvious to me that we weren't getting anywhere fast.
It is sad I think, because he clearly has passion for his position, if only he could've found a less inflammatory means of expressing it, things would've been better and we likely could've had constructive dialogue.

I have a soft spot for the "christianist" sort myself, being raised and surrounded by them, so I kinda like him anyway. Maybe someday he'll be back and we'll all get along better. Y'know, like at the VERY end of the Bible...

I missed this one. Floyd always gave me the creeps. I've seen him post in Jeff's blog, so I know he's still around.

Handle Me - Robyn

Yeah, I heard about some guy that you beat pretty bad and got in the papers
Sure, you own a cool bar and I hear you get far with every waitress
Yeah, I saw you on the poster your song is the bomb and you're outrageous
Sure, I see you're livin' large with your crib and your cars
and that's just great but..

Let me tell you how it be
You won't get with this you see
Cause you can't handle me

Yeah, you make your big move and I see you're not used to being rejected
Sure, you makin' that call to your guy and I'm sure you're well connected
Yeah, judging from that line you just passed you are well known and respected
Sure, would me and my girls come participate in something you directed

Let me tell you how it be
You won't get with this you see
Cause you can't handle me
It's a simple fact
that you can't seem to handle me
No matter how you act with them
you can't handle me
You gotta make me feel you got my back

but you're a selfish narcissistic psycho freaking bootlicking nazi creep
and you can't handle me

Yeah, I think you're kinda cute when you try and act like you ain't lookin'
Sure, I think you're kinda fly and your ride sure is off the hook
Yeah, bet you could take my mind off things for some time and take me shoppin'
Sure, you writin' those rhymes and the acts you produce are really kickin'
but

Let me tell you how it be
You won't get with this you see
Cause you can't handle me
It's a simple fact
that you can't seem to handle me
No matter how you act with them
you can't handle me
You gotta make me feel you got my back

Yeah, I was checking out the Gosch thread (to see why it had gotten so long), and found her posts. Now, that's synchronicity! I was truly delighted to read she's doing well. If she wants to, it'll be great to see her posting more often.

Sorry, Alice, but hava had me convinced that she was seriously considering suicide, too.

I know you and DE didn't see eye to eye, but I miss his perspective.
