Would you mind emailing me (laurelinintherain@yahoo.co.uk)? I'd like to give you my p.o.v on the whole thing if you don't mind, but for various reasons I can't do it on my blog or here. <BR/>Many thanks.<BR/><BR/>Laurelinlaurelinrainhttp://laurelinrain.livejournal.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25271000.post-30441505560522207092008-09-10T13:39:34.336+10:002008-09-10T13:39:34.336+10:00Feck, that should say "mental illness" not "mental image".

I'm stuck wondering if there is any female experience Heart won't co-opt as her own."<BR/><BR/>good question. heart ignores what she wants quite well...i mentioned my female on female dv situation- ignored, and she only ever thinks about what will be triggering or upseting to people that are "hers".<BR/><BR/>I don't think I get triggered in the way people describe it, but i do get very angry and upset about certain things, and damn if that thread did not do it. Her space is for her women only and not safe at all.<BR/><BR/>I'll be posting my last hurrah on this whole load of dismissive, hurtful load of shit (and some other things) later tonight. It's long, but check it out if you want to.<BR/><BR/>This whole thing really, really sickened me, and her treatment of you, Jill B and the way she talked about Nina and Ernest really, utterly, in that special way, enraged me.<BR/><BR/>I'm sorry if she fucked with ya Hexy, you're good people.
