The flame war. I got in the last word before it all vanished into the wired ether. An extremely petty reaction, but I was so annoyed by the end. The delusional attacks on my character were rather grating, even if I know they were so far off base as to be landing on Mars. I feel blessedly free of the interaction now. Good riddance to rubbish. I need to remember that as entertaining as flame wars can be, I really shouldn't encourage those people.

Onward to more pleasant topics.

I had great fun hanging around Metro tonight and playing cards. We taught Sarah how to play Shanghai Rummy, and she did very well for a beginner. She definitely has the trash talking down. I think she makes a fabulous addition to the crowd, and must come play with us more.

Sarah and Rachel both brought me cds they burned, and Rachel gave me a moonstone egg. It's super cool, and supposed to soak up the bad energy in our apartment. Hey, if a rock can keep our pipes from breaking and send the mice away, I'm all for it. I'm putting it with my other shiny stones and candles on the bar.

I admit to following the thread for a little.

Terribly amusing stuff.

I honestly think it goes to show that everyone has a bad day, but not everyone is big enough to back down and admit it, take some responsibility for their words or, at teh very least, say they were wrong. I'm amazed you kept as adult as you did as long as you did.

With regard to the CDs... I don't have a huge collection, but if you can put together a list of what you're looking for... I might have some... and I'd be glad to burn and mail them.

It was perhaps the most absurd war I've ever engaged in on the net. It got pretty ugly in the end, and it was hard not to be more crass. My willpower is not always so good.

Thank you for your kind offer! There are a few coming in the mail, and when I get those I'll post about what I'm still replacing.

That person was delusional to the point that at first I was sure I'd actually missed some of the thread- you know, the part where you attack her, personally. Then I remembered that this is the internet, and logic is a luxury.

It's the flame war from the Twilight Zone! *cue creepy music*
