Hire? Am I paying you? I don't recall this conversation.

And of course it's Sinn's fault. She's so bad.

That was not even me.

I really don't think SinnocentALDID or whatever was so bad.

*Grumble* I voted and STILL didn't get my bribe

 

[AnelizeDarkEyes]

Don't really know either applicant, since I seldom even lurk these days, but good luck to the winner. I enjoyed my stint as librarian, believe it or not, LOL!

I go away for two weeks and all this breaks out.

I don't know whether to laugh and ignore it all or cry.

I have thought long and hard about what to post here. I have veered from damn right nasty and mean to plain rude.

In my opinion a librarian should be objective and have some thought before acting on an impulse.
Graceanne does not have these skills.
I could go into lengths as to why I have such strong views and believe me this is not the first draft of this post.
Suffice to say that her first round of thoughtlessness resulted in Marquis pulling a thread which was about me and the second time resulted me my leaving another group because she hurt me emotionally beyond repair. It has only been in the last few months I have taken her off ignore on Lit.

I am not stupid enough to think I am the only person she has caused distress to, yet; others have not spoken out. Just as I would not have done had this discussion not raised its head.

I have no idea if Grace is mean or stupid, and I do not care which it is.

I do know that I would not like someone who acts in such thoughtless ways (all under the guise of 'care') to be in a position of choosing on our behalf what should and should not be in the library.

I have been in Lit a long time, I am not threatening to leave, that is not my way. I am saying that I would not trust Gracie to be objective and clear sighted enough to make the right decisions.

I have no wish to make this a bitch fight. I have said my piece to Gracie on how much pain and emotional hurt she has caused me. The pain was nothing to do with Lit and everything to do with dumb acts she made at a time when my grief for my son was unbearable. Even thinking about what to type and how to explain it to you all has made me shake with tears and anger at the thought of such a stupid woman having the ability to make decisions here.

It is probably common knowledge that Rebecca is a friend of mine. I think she is wonderful.

I can't be objective in this poll.

Therefore I won't be voting.

Honest to God, Shy, I care about you both. I know you had a falling out, but the post above was childish and petty. Grace has not aired what happened in a public way, and has not attacked you or vilified you in any way. She has kept what happened between the two of you between the two of you, and has not attacked you. There was no reason to do what you just did. If you "really" think Grace isn't a good choice, then don't vote for Grace and be done with it! But spilling your private dispute on a public forum in such a vitriolic way was unnecessary and hurt you more than it did her. Please try to get past the hurt and anger and put it behind you, as she has done. As I said, I've heard from both of you since I've been back that you had a falling out, but she's gone on with her life. I thought you had too.

I was hoping this thread would avoid the sort of nastiness that invaded the discussion thread, but apparently that was too much to hope for. I think Grace would be an excellent librarian, and the reason I didn't vote was because I support them both. They'd both do an excellent job.

 

[shy slave]

Snowy, thank you for your point of view.
I have kept my point of view for two years, three months and fourteen days.

Yes, I can be that precise. She hurt me that much, twice.

I have never aired it in public before, and I am not doing so now.

It is all too easy to think people are perfect, they are not. No-one is, I am no exception to that.

I am entitled to say what I feel about any person, just as you, and anyone else here, (including Gracanne) is.

I appreciate you think I am being petty, however, we will have to differ on that point.

 

[intothewoods]

Just how objective does the librarian need to be?

 

[catalina_francisco]

Very.

[snowy ciara]

Shy,

I don't think you or Grace or I are perfect. I do think that you are too emotionally involved right now to be thinking clearly, and it shows in your posting.

You are entitled to say and feel anyway you want too. And now I'm going to repeat what I feel about this.

The rest of us do not need to know what happened between the two of you, and it does need to be a factor in the voting for the Librarian's position. I understand that you're hurt, but it seems like you're lashing out emotionally and not thinking things through. There are several other places you could have posted the information (which again, I feel is unnecessary. As I said elsewhere, I'm getting a total TMI feeling off of this.). For example, if you feel that this information was vital to the vote, how about posting it in the discussion thread? That thread is still active.

But anyway, I feel like I (and several others bystanders) are getting sucked into your personal stuff between you and Grace and it's uncomfortable. So I'm not going to discuss this further in the thread. Feel free to contact me via PM if you want to.

 

[shy slave]

Snowy I have been off line for two weeks.

I wasn't even aware there was a discussion thread.

If I had been online and seen it, I would have posted sooner than I have.

Yes, I am being emotional.

I am entitled to be, just as others are entitled to be anything they wish to be.

I have kept quiet on this for over two years, as has Grace.

I won't be discussing it, I wanted people to know I don't think Grace has the necessary skills to be the librarian. If I had put that and only that, the next question would have been 'why?' This way it cuts out pm's to all the wrong people flying in all kinds of directions.

Other people post in other threads their dis-satisfaction with people and issues here on Lit. How is it when I do it I am 'petty' and it is seen as unnecessary? Yet, when others do it, it is seen as ok?

I am not often a bitch, but I can be when I think I need to be.

Yes, you have said that you didn't feel Grace had the skills for the job in a much less inflammatory manner. You just did so. And if people would have asked why, you could have said "it's personal' and the majority of us would have left it at that. And as I said to you via PM, it has NOT cut out the gossip flying around.

Again, as I said to you privately, it is not that you expressed a negative position. You're right, people do it all the time,and you're entitled to feel the way you do. It was in the manner you did it that upset me. Again you could have said "I don't feel Grace has the skills for the job" and left it at that, but you chose not to. To me, your original post read like a personal attack, and again, brought a personal dispute into a public forum.

We've hijacked enough. I'm not discussing this further here. If you wish to continue the debate, please take it to PM.

You want to make this public? Fine, you asked for it.

The first time I'd known I was hurting you, was when you cut things off. Evidently I'm supposed to be a mind reader, and just psychically know what's going on with you. By the time I'd known I hurt you, you'd left a snotty message on a site, then left before I could defend myself. If marquis deleted anything it was your fault, since I (a) had you on ignore, and (b) didn't air our problems to anyone but a few close friends. Maybe you need to take a close look at your ego? Or at someone else? This is the first time I've heard of a thread about you or it being deleted, since I've been doing my best to ignore you and your threads.

Beyond that, I accidentally hurt you, by assuming what made my sister in law feel better would make you feel better. You deliberately and maliciously hurt me. Lemme see, accidental as opposed to malicious? Tell me who's the bitch. You talk about this great fucking friendship we had. Then tell me, my great friend, what's going on in my life? What's going on with my kids. For years it's all been about you, you and more you. I put up with it, cause I told myself that you were going through a hard time, but their comes a point where you gotta realize that it's not about your hard time, and just an excuse from you to be a bitch.

If I'd been getting ANY feedback from you, I'd have known that I was fucking up, and stopped what I was doing, but I wasn't. That's not how 'great friends' act, that's how immature children act. I recently took you off ignore, because I figured you were mature enough to keep this private. Evidently I was wrong about that, TOO, my 'friend', so you'll be going back on ignore. Don't fucking talk to me, just leave me alone. I promise I'll return the favor. All you do is take your bad moods out on me, and hurt ME. But who the fuck cares about me? It's all about you, AS USUAL.

So what time are these polls closing tomorrow? And if the news is first broke on the east coast, will that effect polling in Big Sur?

I made a boo boo with the poll date, but at the beginning of the thread said we would close it today. If everyone is OK with that we can do it this evening...I have to go out for a bit but will try and check back when I get in.

Catalina

 

[catalina_francisco]

It seems the poll has finally closed and rebecca is our new librarian by 2 votes. Thanks to both ladies for not only offering to stand for the position, but having the commitment and endurance to wait out the process. I wish rebecca the best in her success, and commiserations to graceanne...it was very close to the end which demonstrates how fortunate we are to have both ladies on the forum.

Catalina

 

[graceanne]

Congratulations, rebecca!
