Let me just say two things: #1: I don't know you all that well, (which we should FIX soon), but what I know of you does not match that description at all.
#2: People say REALLY hurtful things when they are hurting. Its a coping mechanism. So you have to ask, is this person hurting, and if so was it something I did? It may not have been, it may have. We hurt people on accident and on purpose, and there is a difference.
But remember - you are an amazing person and no one's hurtful words can take that away.
You know we all used to say "Sticks and stones can break my bones but words can never hurt me..." Well we lied. Words hurt. I for one, would rather get hit with a stone, because those types of wounds are easier to heal. If you need a hug or a long conversation over coffee, let me know, they work like band-aids for those word hurts.
Nat is making a very good point here. She and I said hurtful things to one another since we were very hurt at the end of our relationship. We, years later, are finally putting those things to rest because we are WILLING to talk to one another, and acknowledge that we were hurt, and we were both at fault for various things. We grew.

And I agree that we very much need to get acquainted. As is probably obvious by now, I am swamped with....well........everything. But, well, there has to be some time during faire that we can eek out to hang a little and talk fiber.
Besides, I am dying to see more of your knitting, especially if it is going to be any of those awesome yarns I peeked at during workshops.
Well, you know my opinion. It's a good think they posted all secret-like I could so go in for some serious ass kicking right about now. Remember that conversation about learning how to shoot....?
Savages. Do not allow yourself to be manipulated by fools. I've accepted the fact that I will hurt people in relationships. Sometimes they wig out and write/say shit like that. Like everyone else said, one just has to ignore it and move on. I'm surprised you allowed anonymous posts on such a topic. Bad ass.
I'm not sure I'm a bad-ass. Maybe just stupid. I honestly thought I wouldn't get anything quite that negative. I thought there would be a little bit of criticism, not a hailstorm of reasons why I should die.
*shrug*
Oh well. In a few months I'll be over it and probably forget it happened.
i didn't post on the original topic because i didn't really feel it was my place - i don't feel like i actually know you that well, except through livejournal, which is never the complete story
( ... )
I know I don't know you very well, but it seems to me that someone was simply trying to hurt you.
I know my opinion can't count for much since, again, I don't know you well. But the Erin I saw felt genuine and joyful, and I never heard a single bad word about you, though I heard plenty good.
