That's it.

[conuly]

Freezing a bunch of threads now. I'd rather not, but I don't like it when things escalate like that and I don't even get to be part of it :(

Don't curse at my friends. This goes for all of you. It just escalates the situation. Cursing, in general, doesn't bother me, but... well, judgment, 'k?
Don't make comments which imply that my friends should die, or would be better off dead.
Don't use deliberately inflammatory language, such as "murder". Murder is a crime. If it isn't a crime, it's not murder.

I love you all dearly, but if my journal itself ends up on LJ Drama, it had damn well better be because of *my* efforts, not anybody else's.

Really, considering the way people across LJ hate me (ever read what fandom_wank has written about me? Remind me never to google conuly again...) it's amazing I don't get more drama over here!

[bridgetester.livejournal.com]

*points at community name* Now why are you giving them any credibility?

[conuly]

'cuz they all hate me. It's really kinda cute, if a bit disturbing.

[lakidaa.livejournal.com]

It's because you're so blunt and steadfast in your beliefs.

Yep.

[conuly]

Quite probably, though they seem to think otherwise...

[lakidaa.livejournal.com]

When I look over the threads, it's usually because of a misinterpretation of what you said combined with a lack of tact (to some degree).

and the topic.

What do they say?

[conuly]

That I'm determined to be in every last flamefest on LJ. How stupid. I just don't have the *time* for that sort of effort.

[bridgetester.livejournal.com]

Sic the Addams Family on 'em?

[lakidaa.livejournal.com]

HA!

I dinnae do it this time! *does the woot woot dance*

[conuly]

And aren't you glad? Because if I had to give you the lecture again, I'd feel silly. *huggles*

[lakidaa.livejournal.com]

and I would be all ;_; and feel bad.

*snoogle*

Hey, I've been meaning to ask. What's up with your icon?

[lakidaa.livejournal.com]

Fell? He's awesome.

I have a post explaining him...
Here. (http://www.livejournal.com/users/lakidaa/7259.html)

the Short: He's a dabus, a race that maintains Sigil, the biggest, baddest trade city ever. However, Fell is special, as he was, singlehandedly, he cause of the death of his god and every follower (but himself). and he got thrown out from his official job (that is, being a maintainer of Sigil.). He now does Tattoos, and is quietly rebuilding his religion, one fanatic at a time. He's actually a really nice guy, too.

I do not love thee, dabus Fell
The reason why I cannot tell
But this I know, and know full well
I do not love thee, dabus Fell

[lakidaa.livejournal.com]

Fell: ;_;

I just like Dabus, and Fell is the coolest one. :P

i only cursed at the people who cursed at me. and i was completely unaware you had people on your friends list that are on life support, with absolutely no brain function above the brain stem. seeing as i never said medications are bad, nor did i EVER say insulin isn't needed in the body (still trying to figure out where they all misunderstood that one *searches*). But, for your friends with only brain stem fucntion, i will censor my comments. and i change my murder word to killing...but you better tell that to jenn too, since she said we should just "kill them all" in her being a snooty little...oops, no cursing connie's friends list...wait! make a seperate family list, then i can curse them...I'M KIDDING!!!!!!

wuv ya! BTW, sethy is doing pretty well, had his 3 biopsies today, waiting for results. *pout*

[conuly]

1. *hugs seth*
2. You made a number of comments about life support, with no reference towards brain functioning. You also made comments about "normal life".
3. Sarcasm is definitely okay - but not in that thread anymore, which is why I froze it.
4. I don't generally mind cursing, but when it's getting to the point where it's almost entirely cursing, that's just escalating the situation - and it's stressing me out too. The last thing I need when PMSing, y'know?

[lizziey.livejournal.com]

yup, read it. i did meantion about brain function, it was just in a seperate comment, as a clarification.

[lizziey.livejournal.com]

yeah i know. hey, i left a mesage on your machine did you get it? the machine was acting funny, beeping and stuff, so i don;t knwo if you got the whole message, let me know.

[azarias.livejournal.com]

I didn't jump into any of the other Schiavo threads because, honestly, I can't think of a way to say "I think she should die" that isn't going to offend you or a large portion of your friends. *shrug* I don't particularly want to do that, despite the fact that I'd do it in other journals; you're an actual nice person, which seems sadly rare on LJ at times.

[conuly]

Well, you could say "I think she's suffering, and I do believe she doesn't want this, so I can see how letting her die is a good option". I don't *agree*, but we're not heading into dramarama.

[azarias.livejournal.com]

The problem is that that isn't an accurate summation of my thoughts. I don't believe she's suffering (though the whisper of the idea that she might, might have some portion of the ability to suffer left makes me angry that a certainly quick and almost certainly painless death by injection is too much for our squeamish societal morals to take, whereas death by dehydration is "nature's way"). I do believe that she wouldn't want this. I also believe that the fact that her frontal lobe is no longer there -- not just nonfunctional, but atrophied to nothing, liquified, sloughed off -- is a good indication that her case is not the same as that of anyone else who has been in a catatonic or vegetative state but remained aware or capable of recovery. Not having a frontal lobe is not analogous to anything anyone on your friends' list has ever gone through, so I don't believe that advocating the death of one can be anything like advocating the death of the other.
