I like that Sueleen ventures onto that site and reads her stuff so that we don't have to. A noble service to humanity. People can be horrible, but they can also be very good.

I took awhile to respond here because, believe it or not, I really do take the input and try to understand the perspectives.

First of all, let me dispel any thoughts of me being near any ‘edge’ – this place isn’t THAT important to me.

What really struck me was the use of the word ‘sanctimonious’. I realize that much of what I present here can be seen as ‘Pollyanna-ish’, but I really have difficulty understanding that particular ‘accusation’.

You know what, I DO have a problem with what I’ve experienced as the meanness and cruelty of the world in general. And what gets presented here only seems to illustrate that vividly. I GET that this person doesn’t quite fit what some consider ‘the norm’. But honestly, if she actually exists as someone ‘less capable’ in your eyes, WHAT is the benefit of CONSTANTLY berating her publicly?

And there are others that seem to get fixated on who get this EXTREME negative reaction – and at least one of them is someone I have had a problem with, and very publicly voiced my opinion.

BUT, having said what I had to say, I let it go and move on. I simply do NOT understand the need or desire to pound away at a perception or thought until it becomes mundane. And frankly, in some specific instances, that is at least MY perception – it’s mundane, and it’s become boring in the extreme.

If that makes me ‘sanctimonious’, then so be it.

DG, do you realize that you sound very much like Blanche du Bois? Is that intentional?

[DG]

Posted: 11/13/07 at 9:50pm

What is intentional, Dolly, is that I speak from my mind and my heart. If you interpret it that way, so be it. But your response having NOTHING to do with what I said is what I have come to expect. Unfortunately.

That's too bad.

As for myself, I'm inclined to depend on the kindness of strangers.

"the kindness of strangers"

That's what I'm interested in - and finding little evidence.

Which I'm sure sounds 'sanctimonious'.

Of for frack's sake, St. Deej:

And really, the value here for me has been to make connections OFF the board, which apparently is something you have never had an interest in. I'll keep the friendships I've made here - and keep them viable off the board, where they belong - and you can have your dominion here.

You really should get better sources. I've partied with some of the best freaks on this board. Shared meals, beverages, the whole nine. I love those motherfluckers. So I don't know what it is you THINK you see, but you don't see much. (And generally, this is where you reply that you KNOW you don't see much because you don't "do" this very well. Or something like that. But extra purple. With luck I've circumnavigated that inevitability with this parenthetical aside. FYI, I wrote that last sentence in your style when you're in high dudgeon mode.)

On that note, I am leaving Broadwayworld forever because I can't stand people who criticize others for being critical of others but couch their criticism of others in an exasperated above-it-all tone. Hate. That.

[FindingNamo]

Posted: 11/13/07 at 10:31pm

I'm back. I know the people I'd want to miss me must have missed me terribly. So I came back, but just for you. You know, the people I have made connections with, you know, like DG. In a way that's real, and valuable. And DG's connections-like.

Love, Namomonster

Namo - I recognize the hypocricy, and you're right.

If you've established relationships here, then I apologize - I honestly thought you had been avoiding that scenario (although, I do know a couple you've met - who swear by you.)

And you can make fun of my admission that I don't do this type of forum well all you want. The fact is, it's true. I can't hide from that. It's not an excuse, it's simply an acknowledgement.

My exasperation is that the 'critique' of some SEEMS TO ME (hence the reason I'M responding - no one else) to serve no purpose than personal satisfaction at having tormented. I have seen you give REAL feedback, that appears to have the intention of opening somone's eyes/seeing a new perspective/whatever - but this only seems to exist to amuse yourselves.

What is it that you think your posts are meant to acheive? Is she supposed to disappear? Renounce her ways? See the light? Realize that her way of thinking is completely skewed because it isn't everyone else's?

Honestly, I just don't get it. And I realize the double-standard implied by my accusations, but I just don't know how else to put it.

And I'm NOT hiding behind that - it's the truth. Let's face it - you're a professional writer (at least that's what I think I understand,) and I'm a suburban, gay house-wife. But I know what I think, I know what I feel, and I express it the best way I know how - however mock-worthy it is to others.

***But will she return as Corine, Corine2, Corine3, or that persona where she pretended to be a gay man?***

E-vil-toil: your are exceedingly mean and incorrect. I am niether Corine nor Corine2 either, nor a gay man. I am a bisexual man who is not Corine, but rather a former model and the very happy husband of a beautiful Latino named Hogan. I went to Columbia where I was 4.0, so forgive me if I tell you the truth that you are not smart enough to understand the beauty of Corine who is beautiful both inside and out but especially inside. She is a special lady who knows how special she is to me and how much her importance in my life could never be estimated acutely but she was there for me at a time that I needed her and let me tell you my husband was far too jealous of her for good reason, if ever I might have left my husband Hogan for anyone it would maybe have been for Corine, my green glass love. This is why I could never risk meeting her in person. But through all that she knew how important she was and I only wish you had people in your life like that because if you did I insure you she would have more understanding of you than you do of her. All of you should have people like that.

But you don't and I say this as a sexual assault survivor.

All other drama just went flying out the window.

Is that post for real?

You two are equally just is mean and this is why the truly beautiful people never stay here.

I couldn't find the popcorn-eating smileys, so I respectfully submit this image instead:



I hope it fills a void.

I was assaulted on a look-see and only Corine was there for me, ONLY Corine was. So you see why I get a little proctective when people hurt her you should all pray she comes back.

"So you see why I get a little proctective when people hurt her you should all pray she comes back."

"So, you see why I get a little protective when people hurt her. You should all pray she comes back."

Fixed that for you. I would change the phrasing, but que sera sera. I've never had a real beef with Corine until this thread.

How dare you criticize the Colombian with the 4.0 inch penis!
