| Emails from Pat |
[Mar. 22nd, 2011|09:47 am] |
I was going through my mail account and trying to delete things to kind of reduce my digital footprint. During all of this, I accidentally started to delete things from our dear friend Pat. Thankful, I've recovered these.
My earliest records available go back to 2005 and there is some good solid advice and humor that was handed down. With that, here is the 1st of many things I want to share so they don't again fall into a digital wasteland.

Mmmmm. Nice tasty drama. Crunchy even when doused in milk, e-tears and sorrow!
Now to make sense of that ever so confusing topic I put up there, not neccessarily in the order posted.
And it'll even have headers! So that you can scroll to what you want to read and ignore the rest! Yeah! Rockin!

TO: Everyone who *replied* to the rant by weasel or whatever. The caps one. With swears.

First off, just to make sure that we're whipping a grease spot in the pavement, rather than the dead horse, I ask that you NOT USE CAPS OR SWEARS in the topics and entire email posts. That includes when you're replying to them. You do not need to fill my mail box with five billion and one posts that have a subject of "RE: FUCKING BITCH" and on and on. Nor do you need to quote the entire message, especially if you're trying to send a disapproving message to them regarding their conduct.
-----
TO: Therians and anyone else who is taking a drama-rific approach towards 'I'm leaving the list, now cry out your anguish at these injustices I have suffered because you people suck, etc, drama'
-----
As for the Therians, you can go off and have your own list for all I care. Go. Please. Now. Now I may perhaps be bitterly jaded, and quite often I am, but the few times that I have even heard or read of Therians, drama was involved. Either waaaaay back when ya'll called yourselves lifestylers, back in the mid 90's, or more recently with our young and at times misguided LAFFer by the name of Mix Master. I seem to recall a painfully long and drawn out email of 'Yes, I'm leaving. Really, I'm leaving. You all suck and I'm leaving now', etc. etc. etc. etc, well, you get the point now, I'm sure.
Just for the purpose of bringing this post away from me pissing in to the wind and more towards having an actual point to this, I'll follow up the Therian topic with this: Yes, you may have your own list. You can even mention it. But for the love of all that is holy and unholy alike, please don't make a long diatribe any time you consider leaving this list and/or creating a list of your own. Heck, for simplicities sake, just make an LJ post with your reasons, make a link, and post to the list that you're leaving and that you're making a list for (insert interest here), and your reasons are here -> (URL of your LJ rant)
Quite honestly I could care less what you do or don't like about the list, and I'm sure there are several others who share the sentiment. Either that, or I'm just a cold and heartless bastard, and you can view my hate and invective as a growing experience for your character in the coming years. A win/win situation, right?
-----
TO: Weasel or anyone involved in the drama, whoever or whatever you are.
-----
Speaking for myself, I could care less what your side is. I skimmed over the origional post, I skimmed over the eventual responce, I skimmed over most of the responces. As many people were bringing up, this was a drama that belonged in LJ. Here's where I repeat suggestions, due to the fact that some people probably are skimming this email even now!
Take your pent up frustrations, make yourself a good little rant. You know, the kind that if you show it at the wrong people, their retinas will spontaneously combust? Yeah. Then post it to LJ. Make it public. And if you STILL feel the urge to tell everyone about it, sum it up in a paragraph (Between six and eight sentances. Or between two and four if you use run-on sentances. And if you use horrific run-on sentances, may you get arthritis at a young age as punishment for making my grammar gland twitch that much). Then you can post that paragraph to the list if you really really really want to. And if you still are thinking "Oh noez! I need to say more than that! I need to spew forth the guts of this horrific drama to everyone!", then include a URL to the appropriate LJ entries. But PLEASE, for the love of the gods and demi-gods, do NOT re-post the entire damn thing to the list.
Hmm... How do I put the horribleness of this in words that you people may understand. You're killing your future chances of spending intimate time with others of your prefered gender! Think of the horribleness of that!
Meh... I tried.

TO: Those damn aliens who are controlling my brain

Get out! I told you to get out of that cookie jar! Bad snoogie-woogie! Bad! Do I have to get out the rolled up newspaper now?! Out!
