In response to "hey, that's awesome! pass along congrats from your internet friends! :) -- nm" by Beaker

I saw the other morning, Thursday, that you decided to really dog on me. You might have been a little too subtle, you didn't use my name so maybe not everyone knew who you were talking about. That was a bad slip up, you lost a lot of impact. Unless, you were too chicken shit to use it and that's just sad.

I thought about it a couple of days and really couldn't figure out what I'd ever done to you that would make you take something you knew nothing about and make me a subject for mockery. I realized no, I'd done nothing to you. So you either thought you were being really funny--you weren't, or you just basically disliked me. That's cool, I don't like everyone either, but I don't put them down when they're not around. If they bother me enough, I say what I think to them either right here on the boards or in email.

Not that you really deserve it, but here's the background as to why I (and my husband too) waited until the last minute to sign up for secret stalker. I started participating about 7 years ago. The first 5 years I had fun getting a gift together (one year I even went on a baking frenzy and Spawn got about 10 pounds of homemade cookies and candy) mailed it off, and my giftee just loved whatever. In that same 5 years, I only got a gift twice. So I sat out a year. 2 years ago, I participated again. Sent a great gift, never got a gift in return. I didn't participate last year. I went back and forth with myself this year and finally decided about 10:30 Wednesday night, the 2nd, to sign up. It was already closed. Jax was posting later that night and I posted a little message to him that maybe next year he could look at timezones when posting deadlines. Then I thanked him for the work and went to sleep. A couple of hours later I woke up and saw where he'd opened the sign up screen back up. I thanked him and signed up for myself and Crash decided to sign up too. End of story.

Well, not quite end of story, for some reason you had to make a big deal over it and post your snark. It didn't affect you in the least and it didn't cause you injury so I don't know why you felt the need to point it out, but there you go.

So here's the deal. If all you were doing was trying to be funny, it didn't work. If you were dogging on me and pointing out that I was some kind of airheaded bimbo well I (and my friends) know that I'm not, so massive fail on that one too. If you did it out of sheer meanness, I guess you succeeded. I responded to you. I'll continue to respond to you in kind, that should be fun.

So my bottom line is, it's pretty lowlife and cowardly to be saying shit about somebody who's not around, whether it's me or anyone else. I don't play that way. If you want to keep it up, well, you are what you are, right?
