I've not sent PM's to anyone today, that didn't send one to me first, and it was only to thank them for their kind words.

I searched over threads, and the only name I ever called you was "Ice Princess", and this was in direct response to you calling me a "drama queen". In fact, I've made every effort to avoid you, when possible, and I don't feel like I am a victim, because victims are usually hurt in some personal way, and I'm not. I just think it's stupid.

I don't speak for forum members in specific, but more than a few members are pissed because of the puppet accounts. I don't really share their ire about the situation, but I can see why some would be upset. I did feel baited, which isn't cool, but I'm not so messed up about it that I would react in any way out of anger.

I agree with what whateverist said, and several people today have mentioned the word "clique", which I find odd, as this isn't high school, but an atheist forum. I don't want to be a member of anyone's clique. I am just here to connect and relate with people with like-minds, and have discussions. It's becoming more and more obvious that speaking freely about your opinions here isn't cool.

This is the most immature group of adults I have ever witnessed. Bravo! He said! She said! But, but, but... And then...

It's really quite entertaining. Thanks!

[Shell B]

All things you have said to me in one thread.

your stuck up ass

I don't have many female friends in real life because they're so insecure and negative all the time. Like you.

I don't like you at all, Shell B. I think you're a rude, mean-spirited, snobbish hater of sorts.

Ice Princess only, huh? You checked, huh? You're lying again.

FYI, it's not a clique, it is the staff and I'm positive that at least one is rather pissed at me for going off on you. I can't speak for the rest.

I'm glad someone is amused.

Well all your buddies over at the insider-popular kids table can tut tut all you like about how this has gone too far. I was asked for honesty and gave same. I think I'm entitled to discuss her sock puppet characters, at least as entitled as she is to make one up for fun. Having fun?

For an April Fool's joke, you're entitled to run an inquisition on the character of Shell?

Shell you lack openness and vulnerability and I don't like that. On the other hand you're a good writer and witty, at least when it doesn't cut too close to home. I don't think you think too much about me one way or the other but I'm fine with that. If you didn't have a popular kid's sense of entitlement you would handle it better when the situation is reversed.

Cite actual examples. Else this is just empty rhetoric.

Now I don't know if you feel attacked by me or not but I know I have resisted shouting "flame on", well other than the cyber bitch remark. I'm not sure if that was noticed or mattered but I will reign it in now. Feel free to retaliate if you like. You probably owe me a blow.

I'm fairly certain what is really owed is evidence. Why don't you present some if you want to play inquisitor?

I could cut and paste all the remarks Shell made about my currying favor with LMA or Alei which would fit here beautifully. But I'm done with this. I had a nice chat with Rayaan about his experience making up his character. I was actually trying to do the same with your princess when she hit the roof. "Inquisition" is way dramatic, if not paranoid. Maybe you're the one who should go back and reread all the posts. Or just go on repeating what you already believe into the echo chamber until you get bored with it. Makes no difference to me.

[Aegrus]

This argument is pointless. Alei, Shell, it must be obvious at this point that neither one of you is going to admit where you're both at fault. No one is going to be able to force the other to give any ground, considering how personal this has become.

One of you is just going to have to stop replying and stop fueling the argument, difficult as it might be to back away. Otherwise, this is just going to go on like this all week, and you're both going to get steadily more irritated until someone goes on a hate rant and storms out anyway. There's no bright side to this. You'll only both lose more the longer this continues.

[Erinome]

I admit that I should have kept my opinions about Shell to myself. Especially knowing what trouble it's caused. I had heard complaints about it from several different people, but no one was willing to be honest about it, and I thought that was fucked up. Since I felt the same way, I thought I might set an example for how to tell people your issues with them. I am at fault for doing it in a moment of anger, and being too abrasive about it.

I was under the impression that we squashed it all in that thread, from where those quotes came... and that was a month ago. I do not feel like I did anything today to warrant being called a cow, a twat, and tits mcgee, other than stand up for someone who I thought was a real person. I took special care to not insult anyone in doing so, I just wanted to say my piece, and I did.

I'll take all the blame if that's what makes this stop. Blame me. I'm ready to bury this, honestly, and go on about life.

I guess I misjudged you when I said no one would admit their errors. For what it's worth, I think that that was brave, and you've earned my respect.

[Erinome]

Well, you made me realize that maybe I should. Thank you for that.

[Rayaan]

It's good that you realized and admit your errors, Aleia.

I think this kind of problem could be avoided if all of us take things less personally or, at least, not hold onto negative comments for too long. Your mistake was that, even though I didn't see you call any names to Shell, you were saying that she was a very mean person, or a bully, and stuff like that. I've seen this and I know where those threads are. But, I'll forget about that because you have admitted that and that's very good (although I think you should also apologize to Shell if you haven't done that, but you don't have to). At the same time, I think that Shell is also at fault for saying some inflammatory things to you, but she had a good reason to be angry. But, still, I think that both of you should simply forgive each other and move on.

That being said, please don't take anything that I said in this post as an insult either. I honestly like both of you. I just wanted to state my opinion on this matter because it's something serious. I don't want to see the two of you continue verbally fighting each other this way and say the same things over and over again. This whole thing started looking like Tiberius vs. reverendjeremiah.
