  SkyeDS: how do
  SkyeDS: know you're on phones just thought would say hi. Didn't come
  in until 1:15, had a call right as I was walking out this morning,
  woman wanted a group lesson for three kids, right then, so I stayed
  home this morning and made $45 for an hour's worth of work.
  evile: Oh, hey. I was worried :)
  evile: I'm done with phone duty. Only have to do it 1 hr at lunch.
  SkyeDS: she's got three kids and two horses that are at an age to be
  broken, so maybe it will be good business
  evile: awesome!
  evile: OMG...too much stupidity on the poly austin list. :(
  SkyeDS: ?
  SkyeDS: haven't read mail or lists today yet
  evile: I'm so embarassed. I don't know what got into me. especially
  after Mouser posted that article about trolls. :(
  SkyeDS: juggling about a million things right now and trying to read
  groups and mail at the same time
  evile: *nods*
  SkyeDS: respect for "goth" as a subculture, hm.
  SkyeDS: most of them (not all, most) have no idea what Gothic means.
  SkyeDS: and if they don't do research about what they call
  themselves, I have a hard time respecting that
  evile: I just can't figure out what got her knickers in such a twist.
  I said Gothfest was fun and the people were cute....
  SkyeDS: I got attacked the last time I posted to my learning coven
  evile: *shrug* some people just want drama, I guess.
  SkyeDS: I tried to explain like half a dozen times that what I said
  was misinterpreted, and asked them to please stick to what I said,
  and not paraphrase me
  SkyeDS: and more than half the group continued to attack after I
  explained myself multiple times
  evile: no good.
  SkyeDS: so I'm not going back
  evile: good plan.
  evile: Sounds like brandyeileen is ditching the whole poly group
  after a month of hanging out with us because of one person (me).
  sad/stupid.
  evile: I disliked her instantly, so no skin off my nose, but it's
  pretty short-sighted of her.
  SkyeDS: was about to ask you about Mouser & trolls. surely Mouser 
  wouldn't apply any troll standard to you.
  evile: and drama-queeny in the extreme.
  evile: Next time I see him I'll ask. He tends to have a pretty low
  tolerance for manufactured drama.
  evile: I wonder if she was pail & shoveling in hopes that others in
  poly group would jump in and say "Oh, Diva, Please Don't Leave Us!"
  evile: Earlier this week, I think, Mouser posted a link to an articlec
  alled 'trollspotting" on how to recognize & deal with trolls when
  they try to disrupt your coven online or in RL...
  SkyeDS: I've been on IRC long enough tos mell a troll from many
  leagues away
  evile: *nods*
  SkyeDS: but some of them are quite sophisticated
  evile: well, near as I can figure, BrandyEileen either a) wants
  people to jump in and beg her not to leave the group just because of
  mean ol. E (I preemptively struck on that one) OR b) wants to get me
  OUT of poly group.
  SkyeDS: like Kim telling Mimi I abuse the horses trying to get me out
  of Barad Duin?
  SkyeDS: ironically we just rejoined Drandmir
  evile: cool.
  evile: Unfo, if BE wants to r un a smear campaign on me, I'm in class
  on Wednesdays until mid-August.
  evile: So she's got plenty of opportunities to access the group and
  poison people while I'm not around.
  SkyeDS: friend Uriah has moved in with Kit & Kim, who are in Round
  Rock
  evile: interesting. poor kid.
  SkyeDS: so Uriah wants to talk K&K into leaving BD and joining
  Drandmir
  SkyeDS: all I have to say is, I was there first
  SkyeDS: and she hasn't got a hope in hell of running me or the horses
  out of there either
  SkyeDS: because in Austin, all she has to do is complain to the police
  SkyeDS: but SGP is an equestrian P, and I can be there riding
  regardless of what she (or anyone else in Drandmir) has to say about
  it
  SkyeDS: I don't understand people who feel the need to spread poison
  about other people in social groups
  SkyeDS: if you're an awful person, people will figure that out on
  their own, no poison spreading needed
  evile: pretty much.
  evile: And, there's no rule that says every person in every group has
  to be friends. There are plenty in the poly group I find
  uninteresting and I just dont' talk to them or sit near them. No
  poison needed. They have as much right to be there as I do, whether I
  like them or not.
  evile: brb, gonna go photocopy real quick.
  
  evile: back.
  SkyeDS: wb
  evile: I think some empirical testing is needed. I'm going to Elysium
  one of these 'goth nights' and approaching the gothiest goth I can
  find and I'm going to say "you are so cute and adorable. You are the
  cutest freak I've ever seen!" and see if they get offended.
  SkyeDS: I liked Elysium when I went
  SkyeDS: was hoping they still had retro nights
  evile: I thought it was WEdnesday.
  SkyeDS: don't know
  SkyeDS: I really do wish women who throw themselves at sonar0m and
  sineater would leave my horses out of it
  SkyeDS: I don't care what the men do so much, but if you're going to
  court my men, you aren't using my children to do it.
  SkyeDS: "do you mind if I make passes at (insert name here)?" ~ no,
  have at it
  SkyeDS: "do you mind if I take your horse and leave you here by
  yourself on foot while I'm at it?" ~ um, excuse me, how rude can you
  possibly be.
  evile: hm. hard to find a line to draw when you seem to freely lend
  your horses at various events & gatherings...
  SkyeDS: at events everyone is allowed to ride equal time
  evile: *nods*
  SkyeDS: this particular girl wants to monopolize his time and the
  horse's time
  SkyeDS: the key word is "share" not "monopolize"
  evile: ugh.
  SkyeDS: plus she is just so obvious about the whole thing
  SkyeDS: cozying up to me because she wants a shot at my husband and
  my horses
  SkyeDS: you can have my husband
  evile: *shrug*
  SkyeDS: but if you think you're going to get free riding privileges
  think again
  evile: I'd rather deal with a straightforward person than a sneaky
  one.
  SkyeDS: she's trying to be sneaky
  SkyeDS: she doesn't think she's being obvious
  evile: heh. silly.
  SkyeDS: she thinks she's going to be out at my place, all day every
  day, riding, as part of a relationship with sineater.
  SkyeDS: I can see that would be attractive on both counts.
  SkyeDS: but it isn't going to happen.
  evile: What time do you think you'll be done with work & landlording
  to be over to my house?
  SkyeDS: rent won't be available till Monday, so I'm comin straight
  there, leavin here at 6:15
  evile: sounds good :)
  evile: Casa de Luz does have food, but it's vegetarian/macrobiotic,
  if you wanted to stop elsewhere first.
  SkyeDS: I'll eat before we go, if sok?
  SkyeDS: I don't even know what macrobiotic is
  evile: macrobiotic=nasty.
  SkyeDS: matter of fact, I usually pick up something snacky right
  after I leave here
  SkyeDS: I have a very hard time driving an hour before dinner when
  I'm already starving
  evile: it's basically very freaky vegan
  evile: *nods*
  evile: I have nothing in the house...I have *got* to get to the
  grocery store this weekend.
  evile: apparently Marlon Brando passed away.
  SkyeDS: nods
  SkyeDS: sineater takes very good care of feeding me.
  evile: Sweetie takes us out frequently. :P but tha'ts as good as it gets.
  evile: well, OK, he's made Mac&Cheese & Hamburger Helper a time or
  two since we've been together.
  evile: Of course, I haven't cooked a meal at home in ages,
  either...now that I think about it...
  SkyeDS: sineater has been shopping & cooking
  SkyeDS: and packing me little meals to take with me (little microwave
  boxes but hey) and the cookies or other little treats that are the
  highlight of my day
  evile: cute.
  evile: Well, I get to leave now since I worked thru lunch :)
  SkyeDS: enjoy your afternoon :)
  evile: see ya later :)
  evile: *hugs*
