Bustier, thanks for your attempt at a heads up, whomever you are. I'm sure your intentions were well meant on some level. I was unaware of any of the goings on, but now that I've read all the links and loops and loop-de-loops, none of it means a hill of beans to me (except that I am sorry for every one who suffered through those terrible feelings of being bullied or abandoned by their peers)!
By way of background, Saraphina came to my city, and as I do to all visiting SP's, I sent her a message of welcome -- I believe hospitality is key to my own personal nature and extend it unquestioningly to everyone I meet (maybe some people believe that is naive, but hey, I gotta be me). Just follow my posts and you will see that I always extend a welcome when I notice a lady is travelling to town, and any of them will tell you I always drop them a quick PM with my number and an offer to grab coffee or go shopping if they would like some downtime.
Saraphina and I had fun, we laughed, we enjoyed some additional companionship, and I see no reason why (even after reading the links in your post and your accidental misquote) I shouldn't continue to behave in a friendly manner towards Saraphina or any other SP for that matter. I see no reason why you shouldn't continue to post your opinions either. No one should be surprised if not everyone agrees in the world, right? As I've said before, PERB is a rhobust enough area with enough diversity that we can all play in this sandbox without crossing the paths of those we dislike. If you don't like the broccoli, man, don't eat it; just don't expect everyone to listen to you when you tell them that they shouldn't eat it either.
I do plan to come and visit Vancouver sometime soon, and when I do, I will visit those people whom express an interest in sharing good times. I may never know if that includes you, but you will be treated by me as I treat all people -- with respect.
Kisses......
