Dear Scout,

No making fun of someone's fetishes. We're all adults here.


Yours in consideration,

Dear Atticus,

I think you are right and that was a bit harsh. There are plenty of other reasons to poke fun at Indie.

Consider it considered,

Scout
 
Dear Rob,

True, but then there's this post from last year, which mentions an over the age of 18 granddaughter. And the story to which he refers in the quoted post has a child as a side character, with the love interest being the adult female day care provider. There is no underage sex in that story because Lit does not allow sexual situations involving people under the age of 18.

Our ToS forbids sexual content involving people under the age of 18. If anyone sees any such content anywhere on Lit, I'd appreciate it being brought to my attention. However, I don't want to start a McMartin Preschool style witch hunt over misconstrued posts. Not being likeable is not the same as being a pedophile. :)

Thanks everyone, and please keep me posted!

Love,

Laurel

Dear Lorilei,

Something to do with muscles and nerves. Mine does the same, only opposite. I've often thought I'd sleep radly in zero gravity. :)

Dear lovetoread,

No, because then they'll use all the cheese on their eggs. I love me some cheddar or swiss on my scrambles.

Love,

Dear Joeybagadonuts,

Dear Yoss,

You are the boss.

And I didn't just say that because it rhymed.

Okay, I sorta did. But I meant it, too.

Love,

Dear Laurel,

If ever we should meet I shall shower you with rad stockings.

Totally stoked,

Yoss
 
Dear Laurel,

Why am I always picked upon? I am so cheerful, friendly and never tease anyone. This level of bullying has gone too far, and in today's society, it's amplified. I don't deserve this one bit. I am just appalled.

Yours,

Indie

Dear MC,

Karma from a previous life?

be careful. if you get in his way i understand that you'll likely get your ass beat nastily. in fact, he'll make your father watch just to cause embarrassment for your entire family.

but, then again, that's only if candy is involved.

and giant hell drills.
 
Much ado about alts of late...

Dear Laurel,

There's been a lot of accusations of people not being who they say they are lately. Do you compare IP addresses or have other special powers that allow you to see who has multiple identities?

Your one and only (maybe)

Shut up, Cade.
 
Dear Artfan2,

As admin I have the ability to see IPs, though it's not really a special power. Most webmasters of sites running most software can see IPs. IPs are not fingerprints. They do not show a person's identity or even pinpoint their location. If two people use the same IP, all it may mean is they may use the same Internet service provider, or that they both use the same proxy service, or they're married, or they're the same person, or their dog logs on when they're not around, or any number of things.

I don't care who is who on the Internet in general and on Lit specifically. So long as a user doesn't violate our Form Guidelines or ToS, they're fine with me. I think some of the dramas are funny, but I also think people get way to wrapped in the "real"ness of words on the Internet.

Long ago I met this guy, a Thai ex-Buddhist monk who now trained people on how to be more effective and happy. He told me that the mind "needs a home" - that it must be kept busy at all times. If you don't keep your mind busy with positive things like hobbies and relationships and work, your mind will find something to busy it - and it will usually be whatever's easiest at hand, usually office gossip and negativity.

I remember his words whenever I find myself caring about stupid stuff like gossipy rumors, or getting angry over petty things. If - whenever we found ourselves aggressively and seriously worry about whether Bigcock89 is the same person as HotYoung18 - we turned off our monitors and took a walk, or read a book, or watched a movie or TV, or made a gift for a friend, or went outside and made new friends, or went bowling, or did anything but sit online and fretting about what other people may or may not be doing on the Internet or next door or at our office, our happiness would increase 1500%.

And that's my Ann Landers impression for today.

Love,

Laurel
 
They seem very happy.

This make me happy.

And keeps my mind at homo. Or home. Or whatever the fuck.
 
Dear Laurel,

Please terminate all of my alts effective immediately.


Yours in going solo,

islandman
 
Dear Laurel,

I'm likely very set in my ways, and guilty of resisting change. However, there are people here who are abusing the Laws of Pizza as they were explained to me many years ago. I do not expect you to punish them, I just wanted you to know.

Cheesily yours,

Adre
 
Dear Laurel,

Thank you for such a thoughtful and thorough answer. I actually think that the recent drama concerning alts is quite humorous and that pretty much everyone who has been involved in blowing it way out of proportion is just having fun with it.

Btw, I have three dogs and I think they may have figured out my password. Not that I'm making excuses for anything that has happened or is about to happen.

Love,

Artfan

I want candy!
