Because I was not sure if Scape likes being DMed as she’s on Do Not Disturb. No, it was not about you, it was checking to make sure I hadn’t stepped in where I wasn’t wanted (which believe me, I’ve done before). Yes, it would have been better if they’d asked. We have gone over this on the Discord.

The name has nothing to do with my nationality or ethnicity. It’s a demi-reference to a very obscure series of sci-fi novels called Spinward Fringe.

I don’t really know how Discord works, but I presume that for someone else to see it, your message to Scape would have to be public. In which case, I could’ve seen it if I were on the Discord. I’m not quite sure how that’s much different. In which case it was at least

I guess it wouldn’t really count as being about me, then? Is that what you’re saying?

I guess they could have asked you first, which would have been better. Right?

Not Mad at Scarlett, just a little confused,

It is.

I will preface this by saying I’m not angry at you, Linstar, but I really dislike my information being shared without permission. The statement in question was asking Scape if she was ok with me asking you that because I had not been involved in the conversation prior to that. It was aimed to make sure she specifically was ok with it. So I really don’t view that as talking behind your back persay.

(Psst: are you from Vietnam by any chance?)

I don’t think you’ve got what the “little birdie” did. They sent me screenshots of people talking about me on Discord...which would be behind my back. So...they were speaking for themselves.

Yes, I agree with your first statement. Bad behavior does not more bad behavior excuse. I’m sorry for that.

Well, as I saw it, I was trying to change my “Let’s go over all the Legendaries!” to “What about these two, one of which no longer even exists?”, since Scape had rightfully pointed out the grandfathered-in bit of the Legendary article.

I don’t think I expressed that perfectly, but it felt as if I Scape couldn’t tell the difference.

I also felt that rather than getting a link to the thread where you all agreed that we should keep even the unLegendariest Legendaries or something, got a “shut up, I already told you not to”. I would have liked a specific response to my specifically different post. And frankly, I still wouldn’t have done anything if I’d gotten zero response to the second post.

—Ls, trying to be clearer

It’s kinda premature? I’d just wait. Or perhaps offer to beta for the author. People like that.

I think we've now seen ample evidence that people here can be trusted to speak for themselves when asked to. Please don't tattle on people behind their backs. It's underhanded and rude.

To Linstar: Since I was in that thread, I'll say my piece on this:

First, someone else behaving badly is never an excuse for you to also behave badly.

Second, I also felt that you were pushing to continue the discussion about Legendaries despite two people telling you it was a bad idea, and furthermore, you'd just tried to argue with me using my own words from six years ago, as though my opinion isn't allowed to evolve over that much time. I didn't appreciate that, and the only reason I didn't say something is that Scape already had and I didn't want to dog-pile you. From where I sit, Scape was not in the wrong. In hindsight, please be aware that she saved you from getting a non-passively angry scolding by me. {= P

Here.

Less-than-ideal SPaG, a sudden timeskip, and the Sue of this story apparently having a Devil Fruit belonging to a canon character with no explanation of how she got it. It's only one chapter at the moment, but we'll just have to wait and see if it's sporkable.

Apologies for it coming off as such.

It's mostly mental health, combined with guilt over hurting someone (which I'm glad I didn't in either case, it seems) and... well, I think it'd be best to take a break from the PPC.

It was this thread.

A little birdie (who may or may not choose to reveal themselves) sent me a screenshot of your Discord info.

In that thread, I felt that Scape was being passive aggressive as well, and responded in kind. I also felt that I was saying something different in the reply to Nesh, and it wasn’t the same. I didn’t want to blow it up into a big mega-drama. Which has happened anyway.

So that's why I never replied.

I’ve really enjoyed interacting with you. I hope you can come back with better mental health.

You have not hurt me. I am fine. I like it when people are direct, because I understand that. If you had directly told me how you felt, it would’ve resolved this easier. But I am completely fine. Don’t leave over me. If you want to vent to me, you can do it over email.

I don’t think Sierpinski is mad at you. When I last emailed him, he seemed fine, and like he was just bored with PPC-ing for a while. If you want, I can email your message to him.

Very sorry to see you leave, and 100% Not Angry,

—Ls

My issue was over a post further down on the board. Neshomeh asked you to stop and you continued and Scape asked you to stop. You then replied with a rather passive aggressive comment and never apologized for it. My issue isn’t with the initial passive aggressiveness, it’s the fact you never bothered to apologize. My apologies for talking on the discord, I should have addressed this with you personally.

I was worried that you weren’t interested. I’m sorry I came off as aggressive. I, being not on the Discord, also didn’t see any of the things you were talking about, and was worried that you weren’t PPC-ing anymore. I’m sorry I came off that way, it wasn’t my intention.

Hello.

If you don't know me, I'm Kittyauthor, a recently-elected PG who's been around here in this community since December of 2019 (December 1st or 2nd, depending on whether you listen to Discord or the Board). I haven't been super active lately here because of my job, but I have been active in the Discord.

And I want to say: I'm sorry. Both for what I have done and what has happened today. I left the Discord in panic because I've hurt someone here by venting in the Discord, which is back-talking in that person's case, and I might have beem what drove away another member a while back.

I feel incredibly guilty for this, so I need to write it out. Then, when everything I need to do is done, I'm leaving for a bit.

I need time. I need therapy.

I vented about Sierpinski instead of talking to him in #generic-salt. I complained about the crits being harsh instead of looking at myself. I am too senstive to crits. I complained in error. I weighed in on the denial of Permission based on this. I shouldn't have. I should've stayed out.

I haven't seen Sier. I hope he's okay.

And then with Linstar. I noted that I needed to finish a co-write with him in #writing, but I wrote it badly, making it seemed like I felt forced. I did not. I wrote it wrong. I weighed in in #generic-salt about Linstar, said his comments about the co-write updates felt passive-aggressive. It was the emailing that felt that way, and that's on me. I don't check email that often anymore. It is my error, my feelings.

I need to stop. I need to stop venting in Discord. So I left, after venting (stupidly) and worrying everyone. I hurt people when I vented.

So, I left.

These are my mistakes. I'm seriously sorry. I feel like I cannot fix them, but it's best to get them off my chest.

After a bit, I will leave for a little while. I need to go outside more often, enjoy the air, enjoy people physically around me, get therapy. I need to live.

I'm so sorry for harm that I caused.

(This isn't meant to be a guilt trip. I'm so sorry if it comes off that way.)

-Kittyauthor

Now, of course, I am terrible when it comes to interpreting tone from text, so if I misunderstood you, that 100% on me, Linstar.

But when you continued to email me after I said I was busy (before I said it was an unoffical pause) on the co-write came off as a bit aggressive. Again, I could be totally misunderstanding the situation (in which case, my error! I apologize!), but it made me not want to write the co-write a bit more.

I wish I could explain my feelings better, but today is not a good mental health day. I'm sorry!

-kA, not upset, just can't think.

I've dropped a note in Discord suggesting this would be a good idea.
