For the sake of clarification:
"But when you PM me and tell me you know my name and use it like a weapon, then you ask for what's coming" Gee, that almost sounds like a threat, Diva.
"And I still have those PMs from you. Should I post them to show people how your tried to make this whole thing MY fault. By all means, Diva, but do post them unedited, in a screen shot, so everyone can see how I abjectly I begged you, over a 24 hour period, to delete the names you were so "outraged" that I had posted. I literally said I didn't care if you made me "look like the biggest a$$hole on the planet - but please remove their names". For their sakes. You refused. To spite me.
I lowered myself to begging and pleading with you to try to correct my wrong, and when that didn't work, the only "weapon" I had in my arsenal was letting you know I would give that life coach your name if the subject came up. The life coach is an acquaintance of mine and a former performer who reads these boards. If the subject came up, I would first admit my culpability, ask forgiveness - and then tell that person (and that person alone) that [Diva's real name] was the one refused to delete their name - but only IF that person asked me about it.
"How you think that I have any power to be able to ruin your career is beyond me." Don't be ridiculous. Our business is a small world. It is very easy to start rumors and do a lot of damage - and you threatened to do just that. Anyone who wishes to see Diva's threats to me can private message me for them - unedited, in a screen shot. I will not post them here.
"I never would have called you out if you hadn't done something vile." The thread was about two life coaches who committed double suicide. I observed that most life coaches seemed to have issues, and mentioned, thoughtlessly, two life coaches that I knew (and are fairly well known in this community) whose personal lives were train wrecks. While this was true and fairly common knowledge, it was nevertheless indiscrete for me to say. It was a thoughtless mistake - and I owned up to it and corrected it the moment Diva pointed it out, within an hour of posting it. There was no malice involved. Just stupidity. I posted before I thought it through. Too many of our regulars here did see that thread and my exchange with Diva before the thread was deleted. They know I didn't do anything "vile" or "very rude."
"See... You have turned this whole thing around and tried to make it my fault. You posted something very rude about someone and I called you out on it. Then you wanted me to help cover your mistake.
That's not my job. I owe you nothing." You sure don't - but what about those people who were named, one of whom you claimed to care about? If you're going to pretend to get upset on behalf the the people I named in order to fuel your vendetta against me, it's ridiculous for you to express your faux outrage while leaving their names public -after I deleted them - for the sole purpose of showing me in a bad light. You know what IS vile? Having the ability to remove the names and protect their reputations, but actively choosing not to because making me look bad was more important to you.
tl:dr?
Back off. Leave me alone. Stop the personal attacks and nasty comments - or keep them up if you can't help yourself. Each unprovoked attack only makes you appear that much more unstable.
