I think she does us all a great service. Most of the time she gives us a
really good reason to hate her.

I always feel so justified after flaming her. It's totally guilt-free.
OK, I did screw up a few days ago. But she never keeps her word either.
Now, who were we taking about, anyway. <giggle>

I know I really, really, really should just ignore this. And I know I am
going
to really, really, really regret this. So, I sincerely ask the group's
forgiveness,
and I understand if it is not forthcoming, but this one is just too much for
my
twisted sense of humor to pass up. Oh, and you are hardly a stranger. When
I first encountered you on alt.transgendered, some years back, I spoke up
in your defense, because I thought you were being treated unfairly. Then,
not long after that, I said something you didn
Laura, first off, the gang is in alt.support.srs. Second, no one has dumped
on you. In fact, I specifically spoke out against what I have seen recently
in
s.s.transgendered. What gripes me the most there, is that the same people
who engage in transsie ethnic cleasing in a.s.srs, are in s.s.transgendered
trolling.

Laura, if you will simply not post here anymore, and either lurk, or simply
leave in peace, then the group can stand or fall without you. If it still
falls,
no one can blame you. If it doesn't fall, then all the better.

The thing that just fries my ass about this little gang of yours is that you
are real goddamned quick to dump on others, you make no bones about flaming

quickly turned to hope,
and that hope is quickly turning to dismay.
I come here pretty much for the same reasons anyone else should. I am
looking to learn,
and hopefully, to pass on some of what I know from my own experiences. That
was the
same reason I pull alt.support.srs. And, alt.transgendered, and
soc.support.transgendered.
But, in each of those groups, the signal to noise ratio is rather poor. I
honestly hope this
group can be different. Given a chance, and reasonable assurances that
things really are
safe, I will eventually open up and reveal more of my situation. I refused
to do that in alt.
support. srs, for reasons that should be obvious to anyone who was there
during the time
others have been so quick to mention. I put up with a lot of crap, mainly
because about
90% of was so far off the mark, it was laughable. I was sure not going to
give anyone real
information that they could use to inflict real pain.
Again, I am really not looking to start a fight.

It's not worth your time nor trouble. If your newsreader has a
killfile available, please consider using it. You'll feel better in

Actually, I never killfile. I find it much more satisfying to read it,
provided it actually interests me enough, and then ignore it.
Sometimes, and I am speaking of no one is particular here,
you run across some really funny stuff.
But, I do agree about it not being worth my time.

Well, some of us consider Diane to also be a kook. One of her favorite

And some others have been the result of Diane. Several of us here
have said no to flame wars. As to Diane, just visit the groups she is
currently stalking people in....like soc.support.transgendered, and
alt.support.crossdressing.

Yes Nora we do. You are very new it appears so I will tell you that
the person you were responding to, Laura blake, is a kook who has been

transsexuals. Sie is not transsexual hirself (I am post-op) and in

Well. if you do have an open mind, there's nothing really wrong with her...
I do not agree with her on all points, but i never end up in a mess.

I learned a lot from our exchange, btw.
The problem is that unlike you, Christine, they weren't talking to me, they
were talking *at* me... getting madder and madder as they failed to bully me
into dropping opinions and ideas that have worked very well for me for a
very long time... With them it isn't discussion, or debate... hell it's not
even an argument... it's an attempt at oppression. They don't want to
exchange information or develope mutually beneficial ideas... they just want
to push me into thinking like they do. My own ideas and experience means
absolutely nothing to these jackels all they care about was imposing their
views on me... and, honey, I react VERY strongly when someone tries to bully
me like that.
They can get just as pissed at me as they like... I've been digging into
gender issues all my adult life. I'm not going to dump 30 years of
investigation, 20,000 pages of files, and 10 years of successfule advocacy
work out the window, just because 6 or 8 braind dead transsexuals can't
leave me alone.
Now... the deal, often stated, is that IF they will leave me alone, I will
happily leave them alone... but so far I see no hint of them even trying.

Diane and I have been around the NG's for quite a while (Diane over ten
years, me almost 3) and we have had long experience with LB. She is rude,
vicious, and obsessed with certain poorly formulated ideas that she has either
developed or taken from others and then warped. Reasoning with her is an
exercise in futility, much like banging one's head against the wall.
This took me a while to find, but it was worth looking for in my saved
posts. It is an except from a xchange between Andrea Bennett and LB. Andrea had
been trying to reason with her, as have so many over the years.

That is Laura's methodology. Make a lot of noise in the belief that noone
will pay any attention otherwise.
She does not believe in reasoning. Most of us have tried to engage her in
a rational discussion over the years but she does nor change.

Didn't Celeste have a thing about having her name mentioned for a time
as I recall. there's nothing special about your name or you - however
see my post regarding a proposal. I'm sure that I can get virtually
every known transsexual to sign and agree should you agree to do the
same.

I guess you should look better, Lisanne...

>>>Why do you yell and curse at me, Laura? I treat you with respect and
>>>courtesy.
This statement is at least a bit polarizing. Saying someone is yelling and
cursing is generally not a good idea.
I think if you do want to make a point like this, you should at least have
the courtesy not to show things disconnected from it's context...
And about ramming your head against the wall...
This feeling often occurs when someone does not see the opinion of someone
else as another opinion, but as a wrong opinion. Saying someones opinions
are wrong usually ends up giving the person who's opinion is claimed to be
wrong, the feeling of being personally attacked.
When dealing with different opinions one should not try to convince someone
else. This rarely works. One should put their own opinion not forth as a
better one, but as an alternative one. Allow the room for thought, and for
dignity. IE a discussion is never won or lost. It is had...
The opinion of someone else is a gift. Treat it as if you were tasting wine,
it may taste bad, or it may taste good. That's oke. If it tastes bad, you
simply do not accept it. And if you want to give your opinion in return,
that great. But NEVER give your opinion about the opinion, just say you see
it differently, and then tell how YOU see it. This way you can avoid having
the different opinions end up in opposed position, and get them in a paralel
setting in which is left open which one is better.
Everyone is old and wise enough to make their own mind up. Don't forget this
simple fact!
> She does not believe in reasoning. Most of us have tried to engage her

I tried, and all went well, although i did not adopt her opinions, and she
did not mine. Well that's ok ISN'T IT??
Reasoning is not something to do in an arena...
Greetings,
Christine!
PS If you do want to convince someone, this method works better too!
