Absent from BOTB due to Drama & Other Personal Concerns
To Whom It May Concern here on BOTB,
I have just been catching up on all the drama involving multiple blogger comments. It has come to my attention that you girls think that I am somehow involved with these two very delusional individuals. There was also a post with something to the effect of how I must be working with them because I have not been posting on BOTB. I have been absent because I choose not to participate in drama online. My life is stressful enough without dealing with secondary school type drama on the internet.
I would respectfully request that you leave my SN out of the gossip and assumptions. I have no desire to be a part of the drama and I don't appreciate my SN being dragged through the mud. I am dealing with a very good friend of mine (who is pregnant) that has been diagnosed with uterine cancer. She and I joined the bump together when she got her BFP and I have been offering her support on her blog since that time. She has been very distressed by this drama on BOTB. I have stopped posting on thebump all together (I prefer the nest at the moment due to the lack of drama on there) because she has needed a supportive friend. This is part of the reason I ask you to take me out of the equation. I have no affiliation with either PPK or VDL, nor do I wish to make myself an accomplice to their crimes.I am asking in the spirit of good will and common sense that you just leave me be. I feel that I am being unnecessarily attacked and vilified when I have done nothing to any of you except try to be a positive contributor to the boards. If you can name one negative post that I have made that offended you then I apologize for that. Though I think you will be hard-pressed to find any post I've made that fits into this category.
That being said, once again I sincerely and utterly apologize for any posts that I have ever made that gave the illusion that somehow I was involved at all with this mess. I have come to like all of you who are regulars here on BOTB. I have no ill-will towards you and wish none in return. I wish to simply go about my business.
Please don't bother with the flaming, or extraneous extra threads about this post. I would encourage you all to think positively and banish negativity from this board. I am not talking "puppies and rainbows" singing koom-by-yah or anything, but just really appreciating the network that is here for you. I imagine it will do us all a world of good to just get a move on. I am not going to DD and I am not responding further. I have a flight to catch to get to the US. Once there I am helping my friend's husband prepare for hospice treatment for my best friend. I don't expect sympathy (because you don't know me and think that I am a horrible person apparently) but I respectfully ask for some compassion with regards to my situation. I'm not asking this for myself but for my friend who is heartsick over the aspersions being cast upon my character here on BOTB. I find arguing over the internet to be a futile enterprise but my friend requested that I say something so that you know what we are going through. She will lose the baby due to this diagnosis and we are just trying to make it through this very sad situation. She may only have months to live and I think that it is a small thing to ask that her best friend not be disparaged over the internet. Mock this request all you want, but I have made it because she requested it. I know who I am (and who I am not). Your opinions on the matter are quite meaningless to me. I just wish to be left alone.
In closing I hope that you all have a blessed day and good luck with all of your BFP's now and in the future. I wish you all nothing but the very best. Thank You.
Sincerely,
Antoinette2011

How can you have no association with PPK when YOU ARE PPK. You're nuts and need to leave. Go deal with whatever you're dealing with and stay away from here if you don't want drama.
Nobody else posts novellas besides you.
I'm confused about why your dying friend gives a crap what anyone is saying about anyone? She's about to lose her baby, and she might die within the next few months, and you expect people here to believe that her dying wish is for BOTB to leave you alone and stop dragging your name through the mud?
Does not compute.
Jeezus. Do you even KNOW how to write a short post? I didn't even get through the first paragraph.
Stop being such an AW about everything and talking trash on your blog about this board and maybe you wouldn't be considered a suspect.
Extraneous extra is redundantly redundant.
I'm a regular and I have no idea who the fvck you are or what you're talking about.
I beg to differ with this assertion. If our opinions were meaningless, you wouldn't be here WASTING MY LIFE.
:falls in love with Isha all over again:
"oiy"
::giggle::
Blah blah blah blah blah.
My BFP Chart~
I see bold text, but all I read is
"OH CRAP, I THINK THEY MIGHT BE ON TO ME AND MY ISP BECAUSE THEY KNOW WHERE I AM POSTING ALL OF THOSE HATEFUL COMMENTS FROM. I WAS BUSTED BECAUSE OF MY USE OF THE WORD OIY AND NOW I'M TRYING TO PROVE THEY ARE AS EVIL AS I---ERRRR-VDL SAYS THEY ARE. SO I'M GOING TO MAKE A STORY ABOUT A SICK FRIEND AND THEN WHEN THEY CALL ME A WEIRDO IT LOOKS BAD ON THEM.
SINCERELY.....
...................... CRAP, WHO AM I SIGNED IN AS?.......
SINCERELY,
YOU KNOW WHO"
(that being said, if she is real and her friend is real, that sucks for her. However, her friend needs to worry about her own life and not about what some strangers think of her friend on a chat board).
He's the single greatest thing I've done in my life and reminds me daily of how fun (and funny) life can be. He's turned out pretty swell for having such a heartless and evil mother.
