Dear extended family. You and I have had our ups and downs throughout the years. It has not always been pretty. But I have to say I am honored to share such an amazing friend and family member with you. He is definitely our glue. And I appreciate how much you have reached out recently. ⚘
Sincerely,

^I could definitely agree with this sentiment.
To those ends, I'd like to thank those friends who have stuck by me and loved me despite all of my myriad flaws. it has been an interesting nearly two decades Lit and I'm grateful for all of the people I've met. Most specifically i'd like to set the record straight one more time for someone who still feels he has been maligned and painted unfairly. I want to say one more time how very grateful I am for the year that i had the most wonderful, kind, and honestly good man in my life; ExiledWelshman. While we have, for your own good, had to part ways so that you can LIVE i want to state clearly i hold you in no form of ill will. Anything betwen us, the negative lays squarely on me. my inability to let you lead, my inability to let go and trust you, my inability to be patient, my inability to let you be the shelter and the storm, my inability to be loyal, and in the end my inability to make you happy. You worked your hardest, more than anyone would have or should have. You fought for us. You were always honest with me, to the very best of your ability. You stood up for me aqnd stood by me. You can never be replaced. You asked me over and over again if you wrre a good Daddy... the fact of the matter is you are the BEST Daddy, so much so that i can not and do not ever want to know what that feels like again. You will be loved from now until the end of time.

To whoever has any misconceptions about the goodness kindness or safety of this man know that i take back any concern i ever had. I'm a provable liar (just message BFG she will be happy to inform you how and why). The truth of the matter is that this man has been my world and i have never been even 1/8 the woman he deserved.

I do love you Cariad,
i always will.

All you mfers 50 years old and up, don't you think it's time for you to stop making excuses for clique behavior and grow the fuck up.

Excuses? Where the hell do you come up with this garbage? You appear to be obsessed with the entire clique thing and its the only brass ring you have to grab hold of. No one ever said this madhouse was a paradise or that everyone here was perfect. People aren't. The people on here have all of the same complex issues in life that everyone else does and come here for whatsoever reason that they choose.

Well, Ange/SurrenderedFaith/featheredfaith...I don't think they would need me to see you obviously are obsessed with EW. Most of your rants are focused on him. Kind of tragic, kind of scary in a stalker type way.

I said it before, and I'll say it again...not meanly. You need help. I surely hope he's got a state of the art home security system.

Dear Harley Shopping Litster,

Not every work day gets to end at a Harley Dealership with a handsome man smiling like a kid. I am so grateful that you drove so far to meet me (and check out the Harley shop) I am so happy I got to spend even a little time with you. It was perfect. I hope your birthday was amazing, and your return drive wasn't hectic.

Sincerely,

Very Happy Litster

 

[PrettyLilPussy19]

Yeah... it's long... I'm sorry...

Dear SoulAssassin,

In the interest of keeping everything as public as possible, I would like to issue a public apology. Our conversation yesterday really bothered me and I acted out of character. I am definitely one of those people who prefer to keep the PG light and friendly.

I really don't have much to argue about your points. It was my name being thrown into a conversation about racism that really got my hackles up. I know we have different points of view here, but as someone living in the deep south, that is not something to be taken lightly at all. I think your overall point, while a good one, wasn't expressed as clearly as possible or with the forethought to how it might be interpreted.

As far as AudioPhiles goes - I can see play counts and that episode (Race & Sexuality)has a lot. People listened but maybe didn't feel like they had much to contribute to the conversation. I can tell you that almost ALL of the more serious episodes don't have a lot of conversation around it. That's fine. A similar example would be the episode A Woman's Mental Load. Serious topic. Lots of plays. Little conversation.

I can point to several reasons why people on the PG (I won't bring the GB into this because this isn't the GB and for the most part the two don't overlap) don't bring up racism.

1. Like I said in the opening of the AudioPhiles episode, Lit is overwhelmingly white. Most people don't have much to say in the way of the topic of race. Simply, they have nothing meaningful to add. Or they feel if they do add, then their opinions aren't wanted. You yourself did say that yesterday to myself and another Litster.
There are many more females on Lit, so yes, you will read more about body image, sexual harassment, etc. because that is something those women have experienced and about which they have something personal to say.
I can't say I've ever seen anything I would interpret as racist on the PG. Either, I didn't see it (no one sees everything) or because I didn't interpret it as that. Knowing myself, had I seen something like that, I would have said something.
If this is an issue felt by the Litsters of color, I would be really interested to read something from their points of view too. Sincerely. I don't doubt that it happens. Lit is a slice of humanity and some humans are racist. That's just statistically factual. So, please let your voices be heard. It may even attract a more diverse crowd, hopefully.

2. As I stated previously, the overwhelming majority of people do not come to Lit to talk cultural inequality, politics, or news. We have an inundation from every other source on those topics. They are important topics but escapism is okay too and, dare I say, healthy. Sometimes, I wonder if addressing such a huge topic in such a silly forum may undermine the very important topic. But again, Lit being a slice of life, people should get to talk about what they want. But you also can't get mad when people don't want to talk about those things. You simply cannot force people to have hard conversations and then expect those conversations to be productive, if productive conversation if what you're looking for.

3. Lastly, I would encourage you to think about what you want out of Lit. If you're just here to rile people up and troll, as you yourself have stated, then fine. Please carry on and most people will carry on either ignoring you or taking the bait. But if you really want to have some honest and productive discourse, you're going to have to change your style. You can't be a jester and king at the same time. I think some of things you bring up and have brought up in the past are valid. (Please note: Key word being "some" not "all".) But I don't think the way you express your points does those points or yourself any favors.

All that to say, I apologize for getting worked up and being rude to you. I expect better from myself and that's not how I prefer to act, communicate or treat other people.
I apologize to the other Litsters who had to read that (or this! sorry!) and roll their eyes. I've been in your shoes, I've yelled through my screen at others, I know how annoying it is and how it ruins the fun vibe that the PG often has.

I will carry on with my silliness. This is all I have to say on the matter. Have great week!

Signed,
PLP

TL;DR
I was a jerk who didn't express herself well and I apologize.
