A response to Preyfar's rant

[giza]

This is in response to this rather angry post from shutterwind aka Preyfar wherein he proceeded to rant about me.

Time to clear a few things up:

1) I was not running the event. film2edit was, and she was the one who was inviting people. If you are upset because you were not invited, you should bring it up with her. I had nothing to do with it. Furthermore, she posted about this in her LJ quite some time ago, and asked if people were interested in coming. It's not like this was some secret thing.

2) This was hardly a "PA furry" event. In fact, I was the only person from Pennsylvania who attended. film2edit lives in New York, and others who attended were either from New York or New Jersey.

3) Invoking the PA-Furry mailing list in your rant was uncalled for. That list had no relavence to the event.

I really don't know what your problem is, but I do know that ranting about it in your Live Journal is not going to solve anything. And you know what? By going and dragging my name through the mud like this, you've given me a really good reason to be pissed off at you. Can we say, "self-fulfilling prophesy"?

The post is no longer there, as shutterwind acknowledged in the post of 5:54pm today. Perhaps it's best to shake hands and make up.

I was highly upset at the time, and given some very conflicting information. Still, my "rant" on the mailing list was most a sarcastic post than it was anything else, and not very spiteful. Yet, besides this, I also heard several people tell me there are people on the mailing who have been telling people that I'm next to clinically insane, which really upset me.

Coupled together, I got extremly anger, and hurt being all belief. =/ I wrote an upset post feeling like I had been ignored by the people I called friends, and that's still how I feel.

A lot of it was done in haste, and the fact I literally wanted to cry. I mean, imagine if half a dozen people you know and call friends are literally hanging out on your block, and they know how to get into contact with you, but don't. Then they message you the day after and tell you all about it. But then you ALSO find out one person in the group purposefully didn't want you there, and made sure not to tell anybody until after everyone left.

Yeah.

I didn't feel that hot either.

Well, you were at the bookstore I hangout, chilling at my building, and you didn't think to stop by and say hi? No. But, I was kindly told that you privately only mentioned I lived in the building you were all hanging out after you all had left, so you didn't have to deal with me.

So, was I upset? Yes. Yes I was. Wouldn't you be if half a dozen of your friend were hanging out in the very place you live and didn't even consider the courtesy of saying hi?

You know I lived there. I know you ignored me. I was kindly told.

Thank you.

As for her posting it to her journal, I didn't have her on my friends list. I wasn't to know about it until later. As for the PA Furry rant, it wasn't a rant, it was a pure sarcasm, not rantage. Besides, you responded back to me after I e-mail it to your admin address, and I didn't see any complaints about the post, so I carried it over to the regular list after you correctly pointed me to it.

Which, looking back, was greatly in error.

*blows the whistle* Okay Referee time!
Okay, way I see it, it seems no attempt at even trying to contact Shutter was made. Despite the fact it may have been so openly advertised of a get together. I always drop my friends a "Hey man, party is going on, wanna come over?" ring-a-ding, just to see if they knew, or if their like me, forgetful :P

Thats my only question in this whole thing, why was there no attempt? More the merrier I say, and after meeting Shutter irl at AC, seems like a fun guy to hang out with.

But personally I think the whole argument should be taken off the journal, seeing as Shutterwind promptly removed his to not stir up things. Why not take it to email instead? I think mixed up communications was a big fault here, and I can sympathize with how Shutter would feel under the circumstances. I'd feel pretty down too. As for the message to the lists, apologies were made, lets shake hands and make up?

Work time! ^_^
