About This Author
I am a 40 year old married mother of two teenage boys. I live for writing, especially romance. Love the happily ever after scenerio. The best thing about writing for me is the ability to lose yourself in your work, and feel as if you've accomplished something great. At the end of the day, that's all that really matters.

Is that a joke...
Ah, where to begin. It's been one hell of a week. Good? I think not, but what the hell do I know.
My Sadness
I am kinda depressed. Why? Well, the resident chattie, the one who I love to hassel, share banter, kick booty of, get aggitated by, am constantly looking to one up, and makes me write my butt off has been permanently banned from chat.  I love chat. I love to go into a room and have people happy to find me, to laugh with, to share our sorows, and to find help on a variety of subjects. Now, chat just isn't the same. And I have to wonder - am I next? I am well aware that I am brutally honest. Gets me into all kinds of trouble. Again, my name does start with "T" All I know is he doesn't deserve to be ousted by WDC and he sure as hell deserves an explanation. I wrote a letter to the upper most person on WDC, The Story Master. What did I get? Nada, nothing, zero, ziltch, zippo, wellashee. And that sux. I fork over a great deal of money to this site on a yearly basis. I spend more than I should, but I have a heart and enjoy giving to my fellow writers. sciwriter1 can be a pain, but we all love him. It's a clash of personalities, and that whole alpha male syndrome. Yeah, it's pretty much a disease, one us women folk could do without. And being in a private room, with of rating of XGC, and freedom of speech something we aspire to achieve, well, something stinks. Don't you smell it?
Today, I was called out in chat. Not in front of everyone, no because this person knows that others would come to my defense. I have done nothing to this person to warrant an attack, complete with f bombs. They have the opinion that I blame them for Sci's situation. Have I come out and said that? No. I am not a fool. One person alone will not get Sci booted from chat. His letter stated more than one complaint. I do admit that yes, I think this person complained, and I know another who did as well, and one that I am 100% sure did too. As for others? Who knows. Now, I copied the convo today, so I can easily send it off to SM and complain harrassment. Will I? I'm just not sure. I for one would rather take the high road. I don't expect people to be nice to me. I have been chewed out in chat, harrassed by others, you name it. But I don't let it bother me. I choose to go there, and I would like to continue to do so. I find it all very sad.
If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen. It's that simple. Every single day someone comes thru the chat door beggin for a fight. I can't count how many times people make complete asses out of themselves. It's life. Get over it. I would like to know what it will take to bring Sci back. Or, do I need to start monitoring every word I say, afraid that I am next on the chat chopping block. Good questions. I know rules are in place for a reason, but come on. Ever heard of he said/she said? Should these issues be investigated further before a permanent solution is rendered?
