Carol Tacker was born in 1949, so she was early sixties.

As for the rest, all I can say is, I love you!!!!!! :) ♥

I made the edit, thanks, bb. Love you, too! And thanks. You know why.

FYI her obit states she was 64, not 41. Still young.

And can I just say I love your post! I did tweet with "Brian" and feel used.

Thanks for your take on this bizarre affair.

I did the edit about her age, but forgot I had to edit here on LJ too.

Sorry you felt hurt by what happened. In retrospect, I think that some people get in too deep with alternate personas and don't know how to get out, you know?

I already knew your name. **preens**

Seriously, it has happened multiple times among the Tolkienites - and one of the perpetrators was a real bat-case. As you say, your current uproar won't be the last sockpuppet debacle, either. People are very, very strange, and waaaaaaaaaay too many of them love drama. :P

**hugs**

Yup! But we go waaaaay back! lol

Every fandom gets this wank. Best you can do is Keep Calm and Grab Some Popcorn.

We need an icon for that...

Dude why isn't there an icon that says that? That was my response to all the E.L. James sues the porn parody of 50 Shades...

I remember that post!

I forgot about all of the money Cael collected in my post! See that's what bugs the shit out of me is because she only seems to pop up to make snarky remarks before disappearing once again.

If I didn't hold besame_bj in such high regard that I didn't want to start drama all over her journal I would have said something then and there. It would be interesting to see if she pops up here as well! (Maybe her ears itch because she knows she's been talked about and that's why she pops up time and time again.)

vlredreign March 11 2013, 03:12:16 UTC

Part of me really wanted to comment to Cael and yell BOO! lol

YOU HAVE A NEW GRANDSON?!?!

yes, that's what I took from this! Such exciting news :) and the only part of your declaration which came as a surprise.

Ps... I've always admired your gutsy attitude and willingness to call a spade a spade

vlredreign March 11 2013, 03:13:41 UTC

I do!!! He's almost 3 months old. I adore him.

Thanks, bb. As this incident shows, life is short and I have no time for bullshit.

My reaction to this post was like Steph's lol So ITA with everything! (btw, where is all this wank happening??? I haven't seen one bit)
