Trying to draw a parallel between Pegasus' request and Gmuxx's? The difference being that I didn't respond to Gmuxx hysterically, and REFUSE his request while at the same time accusing him of inciting drama. I believe my response to Gmuxx was, "Of course, I'll send it after my next power down," which will be faster for him (two days) than if I tried to push fiat through Coinbase, Bittrex, or the Atlantic Ocean.

Since we're on the subject of gifts now wanting to be refunded and apparently immediately - how about you refund the $53.00 SBD I'd transferred to your account over the course of my short time at TWB. None of that includes my SFT or contest donations - just stuff to you personally, @rhondak. I'd like it back.

Sure, as soon as you show me the contract stipulating those monies were either a loan, or conditional only until you got your panties in a wad. Methinks you've taken a few too many hits off the crack pipe, Inna, or spent to much time at the bottom of a bottle. Because surely sober you'd have more sense than sabotage yourself and the Isle of Write Discord group so publicly with this ridiculous tantrum. You guys are only harming yourselves. Frankly, this whole temper fit you're throwing on Jordan's post is starting to give me a headache. So if knowing you've caused me that much discomfort satisfies you somehow, please. By all means. Take it as a win.

Oh @rhondak - never you mind. I never would ask for any of MY GIFTS to be refunded, your insults on here and elsewhere notwithstanding. I just hope you treat those animals better than you do people.

My request was simply to illustrate that you do in fact believe that you are above rules, laws and basic human decency. What you are demanding from others apparently never quite applies to you. Point made, and taken.

Here's a question for you: why do you think YOU are immune to any response after you and your troll friends hijack a post intended to promote an initiative by Jordan Lesich, who never did anything to any of you? How do you figure that you can come here in the comments, behave as deplorably as you've behaved, yet be exempt from suffering any pushback? I have never understood that kind of twisted logic. You don't get to go around bullying people, Inna, talking trash and starting trouble, without a reasonable expectation that you will end up face-first in your own pile of stink. Have you noticed that no one from the Writers' Block has trolled any of your posts? (Or anyone else's?) Have you noticed how there has been no campaign to blacklist your little server, or taint the community against any of you? Have you noticed that we didn't caution any of our members against affiliating with Isle of Write, or toss down an "either/or" mandate? I suppose you were too busy planning your attack on me to pay attention to such things. I just don't understand how any of you think it's okay to come after my jugular, but act soooo defensive and pitiful when you're met with a bit of resistance. So here's some advice. You want to play server goddesses on the Isle of Write? Be our guests. We at the Block will never challenge your right to do so, or to write as much second-person narrative as you wish. Have at it. But if you don't want to leave with a face full of mud from all the slinging, don't bring a fight to us. Not to me, or any other member of the block. We will not be antagonistic toward any of you. But neither will we tolerate this kind of nonsense aimed at hurting any of us.

Oh please. That wrapping yourself in someone else’s victimization doesn’t play with us anymore. You aren’t protecting Jordan with your replies here; if you gave a crap about Jordan you wouldn’t have expressly used this post promoting his club to rub Peg’s nose in your refusal to stop using her art. You need to stop with all this projection about bullying and wanting to rule servers. I’ve never seen anyone so drunk on such little power. I’m sorry to break it to you but no one left Writers’ Block out of envy of your position. There was no “faction” and no one wanted to be you. We just wanted to write stories and hang out with other writers in a place that allowed differences of opinion and style and didn’t pride itself on being rude in feedback.

Uhhmmm...okay. Now whose yardstick is getting a workout? LOL But I really could not care two whits less what you personally think of me, Jess. I saw how you treated Bex, how you bullied her into leaving the group for a week until we could make some sense of what happened. I saw your rude feedback to her, how you cut her off at the knees in public. I also see how you've managed to get Carol so twisted up that she doesn't even know who her friends are any more.

I don't know how to make this any more clear: the gif in this post is not "Peg's art." This is the "Peg's art" that we offered to no longer use:

And here is her giving express consent to not only use it, but create derivatives from it.

Neither of which option we have fought to implement after you guys left. The old version of the logo--the gif--was not mentioned in any of the dialogue we had about use of the images. You guys are acting like buffoons over a monochrome piece of clip art that is indistinguishable from the hundreds of other inkpots and feathers in the public domain. But that's your choice to behave this way. At least it has been done right here in the public eye, so people can see exactly what has transpired.

Even still, another thing is bugging me.

You need to stop with all this projection about bullying and wanting to rule servers. I’ve never seen anyone so drunk on such little power.

Okay, so Muxxy actually owns the Writers' Block server. He is the absolute rule when it comes to what is allowed to go on in that community. Not me. He made a lot of the decisions you didn't like. So why was I the target? Why, out of all the people calling the shots at the Writers' Block, am I the one you choose to fixate on? That alone tells me there's more to this than the simple argument you try to make in your own defense about leaving the way you did. This is personal. It always has been. And I'll give you points for being ruthless and calculating. You're among the best I've seen at being downright insidious.

authorofthings (57) · 7 years ago

@rhondak - I am pretty sure Carol does know who her friends are. The ones who'll never use her as bait for a shitty contest. But that, too, is ok. Frankly - you've dragged more mud out into the open than we could have ever done. We left, quietly. The only thing I took issue with was use of Peg's art after the promise to cease using it. That was all. It should have been all. But you chose to drag everything else into this thread on Jordan's post.

I would apologize to Jordan, had it been my doing. But in this case - it's very much yours.

Are you mentally ill, Inna? Seriously? Did I twist your arm and force you to comment on this post? Did I hold a gun to your head and make you introduce a totally unrelated topic into a post about Write Club? Methinks not. You were doing just what I said earlier--craving attention for yourself and craving drama. I think some people are just born with that defect.

So--using Carol as "bait" for a "shitty contest" is the logic you have used to persuade her that all her friends have turned against her? I suppose it never occurred to you that we were trying to use the CONTEST as bait to draw new talent into the arena for Perihelion. Furthermore, I never quite understood how being lauded as "she's the reason you want to enter this contest, folks!" is an insult. That's a construct of your own minds. If someone thought highly enough of me to organize a contest that put me directly at center stage, deferred to my expertise and status and sought to promote and bring publicity on Steemit for the magazine I help edit. . .gee whiz, I rather think I'd be thrilled, honored, and humbled by that. Not entertaining thoughts that some evil plot was afoot to use and abuse me. No--I think that was all yours and Jess's doing. I think you put those ideas in her head. And if you didn't plant them, then you certainly exploited them when you saw them germinate. Shame on you. Shame, shame, shame for taking advantage of her that way. Karma will get you in the end.
