Woah there...I read that thread and my first thought was "who got Myst's password and is writing under her name?"
All Lavy and Misch did was to point out that Myst was not "acting like herself" and I have to agree completely.
The only time I saw Lavy lash out was when Pablo inserted his foot into his mouth and tried to talk around it.
Several times Lavy asked Myst what was going on and why was she doing this because this did not sound like her. She saw the warning signs of something being wrong and wanted Myst to tell all in PM, email or otherwise. From what I read I could see the signs of concern towards Myst if anything.
Quite frankly, my admiration for her went up a few notches. And then she apologized for when she did strike out...again several times.
Myst, for whatever reason, (and bear in mind I like Myst..she has never been anything but kind to me) left a fire burning and people picked up on it and lashed out at one another. Myst was not around most of the time to lash out at. In fact, the subject got off track so many times that it was head spinning.
I wish Myst all the best and hope she comes back but I have the feeling it was more RL stuff than board stuff that was the cause of it. There are very few people I think should be run off the board and Myst and Lavy are not any of those. Neither is Mischca.
We all can use time away from the board. Everyone...myself included. And Myst is an intellegent person. Once she works through things she will be able to clearly make up her own mind whether or not she comes back or not. I wish her luck no matter what she chooses.

Slow it down a minute, guys.
I never, ever said Myst is right and all y'all are/were wrong. I didn't even imply it. I took no sides, pointed no fingers, dissed no one.
If any of you guys who were involved feel i unfairly cast you in a bad light, such was not my intention. Just slow it down there, girls and boys. I don't do big gang-bang fights. Ever. Not my style. Nor is it my style to pick the scabs off old (or healing) wounds. Whether or not you're pissed at me at the moment, you have to admit that's true.
Okay, everyone here is ostensibly an adult. Therefore, every one of us has sometimes complex RL issues and problems and stresses and joys we bring with us when we come here. Inside our brains, our various issues swirl around, filtering through our blood and tissue and bone, and coalescing into emotions that underscore and highlight the words in our posts that our fingertips eventually send off into the slipstream place that is Lit.
Beyond that, we all have personality quirks that endear us to many others here, or make them want to erase us from any kinda reality - real or virtual - or do both, in turns.
I miss Myst.
I would miss Mischka or Lavy or Never or CB or anyone else who i interacting with regularly if they'd left the way Myst left.
I can say i miss Myst, i think, without it becoming a federal offense. I can say it without picking sides, without feeling like i have to pick sides, without feeling like i already picked sides just by voicing the fact that i miss Myst. I'd say the same about any of you. Saying one misses someone who is no longer here is not a criminal act, nor is it a slap at anyone at all.
I can also voice my 20-20 hindsight, distantly-removed-from-all-tensions view that y'all mostly acted pretty badly. You did. You know you did. Y'all know what to do when tensions get out of control. You know how to turn the machine off. You know there are other things to do on the net, if you can't turn it off, rather than stay involved in something that's just getting uglier and uglier.
You know you acted badly, those of you who did - and that's certainly not all who posted on that thread, either. However, some of you were PMS'ing all together - and you let it get out of control. As a result, maybe only partly, but as a result, Myst is gone, hard feelings and hurts trailing along behind her.
It was a very poorly done nights' posting. You know it. And i can say, too, without taking sides, without fearing for my life, without any censure - because it's true.
I didn't bring it up to hurt anyone or to pick off healing scabs or to point fingers.
I don't do that.
I brought it up cuz i miss Myst.
I brought it up cuz i think those involved - all of them, the ones here and the ones gone - should goddamn well be ashamed of their part in this ugly matter. I think they should grow a little from this and resolve to NOT lose control again, so badly. I think they should vow to turn the machine off the next time the blood pressure goes so high rather than say that last little bit, the proverbial straw bit.
I brought it up cuz we all should learn a little bit from this about saying too much - going too far - and really hurting the people who, for better or worse, share habitation in this place with us.
If you're feeling bad, get offline.
If you're in bitch mode, go someplace else. Or, alternatively, TELL US - and we'll jolly you out of it or post jokes till you plead for mercy or we'll understand.
Now, who else has issues with me?
C'mon.
I'm in full lecture mode and i'm taking all comers...

You know what really bugs me? Every time two people don't get along, people start talking about how "Lit sucks". I'll take responsibility when the servers are slow, or when the site crashes. But I think it's extremely unfair to blame the site for conflicts between two people. I'm mother to two cats and that's all. As adults, I would hope that we would all take responsibility for our own actions. I know that there are people who have reasons for trying to paint Lit as this terrible angst-filled Jerry Springer fest. But I would hope that the rest of us would be able to see past their agenda to all the good people and the good posts and the comraderie that happens here. It's depressing that all it takes is one fight between 2 or 3 people to make everyone forget all the love and caring within this site.

Lit blows and sucks and swallows. And Lit does for us all equally, moaning with joy all the while, its toes curling and its cheeks glowing rosy with arousal.
april? Happy Birthday, darlin', and my PM (fucking goddamn cocksucking [since we're on the subject] probably broken) box is emptied now, too. Thanks for the heads-up.
Laurel? Not really that many people whine "Lit sucks" at the conclusion of every knock-down drag-out fight we have here. You're probably just a tad sensitive about that particular refrain, though it must hurt to hear it over and over and over and i'm sorry for that. However, you know, and i know, and april knows, and Never knows, and CB knows, and bratcat knows, and - hell, we ALL know - Lit doesn't suck at all. Lit's cool.

I swear...
I am in the company of some amazing people.
I had a sense of dread when this thread popped up. Then the boards got shaky. I thought maybe this thread would fade away to the third page.
I read straight through to Isolde's post and stopped. read it again...was there an echo in here? she said eloquently everything I was feeling...to a T. and they got even better down the line. A little humour crept in.
Laurel honey, you're doin' great. I think I found this site in the winter of 1998. There were no boards, there was no chat feature, the entire index of stories was only a few pages long. I bookmarked it and I returned, again and again. This little outfit has really blossomed!
My panties are off to you...I do not often wear a hat... or panties....never mind, we'll work that out later.
As I said, there are some amazing people here. Intelligent, proud, strong, funny, neurotic, light hearted, dark spirited, mysterious, mischevious, flirtatious, charming, combative, helpful, romantic, defensive, lusty, bodacious and loquacious men and women!
I am rollin' around and gettin' dirty with it. Buckle up friends, 'cause I am startin' to feel at home!

Lit sucks? nope! though it might be about sucking and many, many other things.
All you have to do is look around at the many people who jump into the fray when the phrase is pulled out. I have seen many people sitting on the sidelines watching a couple of people go at it and not jumping in and then someone says that and reamings begin!
Laurel...this is one of the best sites around. And the only erotic site that keeps pulling me back into it. You guys have a winner and we all know it.

Lit will never suck, sheesh. My email was suddenly full of people wanting me to see this thread. I didn't leave because I thought Lit sucked (because as we all know, nothing quite compares). I thought I had made this clear when I emailed the people who had the questions of why I took off. So I'm posting now, clearing up confusion.

We all make our own decisions. I wasn't around for the big "to do" but ANYONE involved in that argument could have chosen to leave Lit - stay at Lit - go roast a marshmellow or whatever.
We all make our own decisions.
Its a shame when anyone decides to leave (well - most anyone, *lol*) - but its their decision.
You know - I miss MP... I miss Deb - and others who seem to no longer be with us... but each of them made a CHOICE for themselves.
I hope Myst returns. I like to think that we also choose who we interact with - this is a fairly large community. We each have the option not only of making our own choice about whether to be here or not - but as to what we do and who we interact with. I have neighbors I choose not to interact with - that doesn't mean I'm about to move.
So if there are enough people here who matter enough then a person will stay for those people. If there is enough here that is interesting and fun that a person WANTS to be here, then they will stay. If they choose to leave then they are making a choice that says the bad outweighs the good. That, again, is each individual's own choice.
