I didn't get angry. I'm fine. I was being equally friendly to you.
Kathy's email and post came across very harsh to my bf and I. It was like she was threatening me with the "terrorism" Shirley described. It felt like I walked in and disturbed a whole hive of wasps. I'd rather just step away from such an unstable situation with my whiskers intact so to speak. I've found other groups to be involved in now. Perhaps I'll come back, but probably not. The whole situation is water under the bridge now. Friends? Ok, back to friendly talk, Alaska has always sounded wonderful to me. I'm hoping to go on a cruise there for my honeymoon whenever that may be (my bf has hinted it may be after college *grin*). I took Tai Kwan Do for about a year when I was in junior high and have my green belt (though I can win hands down against high rung red belts even today). I would probably have my black belt if it wasn't for my vertigo and asthma. Speaking of math, where were you when I had to do quadratics? Ugh, I hated those and no matter how hard I tried it never worked. I'm ok with normal math and such, but ask me to do something harder than simple trig and I'm lost. Computers are sooo much easier for me, I even did my whole site in HTML from scratch and help build the computer I'm using. Astrology is fascinating, I've found that by delving into it I know myself more fully than I ever imagined. I value self-knowledge so it's perfect for me. In case you're curious, I'm a Scorpio, hence why I can be so emotional based. I can go from sad to angry to happy in less than a minute depending on the situation. My bf is on the Pisces/Aries cusp and can be very protective of me. One can learn a great deal about someone just by their sign. If you're familiar with Eastern astrology I'm a water dog and my bf's a fire snake. What's your sign? I also read tarot and runes. Another hobby of mine is learning Romanian (which is very slow going). Elaine |

No offense guys.... but you are all still cross-posting. (which is far worse
than one mistake of the original cross-post) I didn't realize I did it (until I did) in my post, so I know how easy it is to make the mistake. :-/ Can we take the war back to the bead group and out of the marketing group? She didn't upset anyone here... and the flame war isn't really needed in both groups. I hate people arguing (makes me nervous), if it was up to me I would wave a wand and it would all be over. Thanks all, hope you understand my post. lol no flames please! I haven't gotten back my asbestos underwear from the cleaners! ARTEMIS http://stores.ebay.com/id=1689023&ssPageName=L2 AUCTIONS |

Name one *newsgroup* that accepted her advertisement and welcomed her with
open arms after she spammed them without reading the group long enough to discover what was appropriate to post. This I would like to see. Yahoo groups or any other web based groups do not count. Only Usenet newsgroups. -- Kandice Seeber Air & Earth Designs http://www.lampwork.net It's a shame you've driven her off. She would have been a great contributor. The point of a worldwide community like Usenet is FREEDOM! We have enough rules and laws in everyday life. There are other Usenet forums where she was accepted warmly. Keep your elitist beading cult here to yourselves. Maelstrom I have unsubscribed to rec.crafts.beads do to the continual assault there. I have been flamed, insulted, and criticized. I didn't see any of the "Very co-operative, eager to help" you described. I am saddened that beaders would stoop to such terrorism. I apologized for my blunder and explained that I was new and yet they call my apology complaining. I do not take kindly to insults, I'm a very sensitive person, sometimes I'll admit, too sensitive. I am very emotional and intense so I tend to take everything personally for that's how I am. I say what I mean and mean what I say and do everything whole-heartedly. I'm quite friendly once you get to know me, but before then I'm super shy. If I get a bad reaction to something I stop doing it and in the case of groups, if I feel insulted and unwanted, I leave. Just today, I got a flame from Kathy N-V that was so violent and resentful that I was shocked. My boyfriend insists I should just ignore it, but any emotion directed towards me is taken to heart. It's my nature. She may not have meant it personally, but even then my boyfriend agreed it was totally uncalled for. The fact she treated me like that after I honestly apologized hurt. I am sad to say I will not be visiting rec.crafts.beads again. I am evidently unwelcome there. As for my knowledge of rocks, well, it's just one of the many topics that I know lots about - animals, rocks, plants, beads, the weather, ecology, fossils, art, writing, drawing, mythology, astrology, astronomy, painting, computers, and travel. I didn't learn much of anything in school mainly because the system here in upstate NY is pathetic, but I have always had a fascination with learning. In 4th grade, I was introduced to rocks and plants by my slightly bizarre teacher, Mrs. Marsh. I have since researched all the topics that interest me to the point it drives my boyfriend nuts. I have gone all over the northeastern US, Eastern Canada, Ireland, Wales, Scotland, and England to find quality stones for beading and my ever- growing personal collection (as well as satisfying my lust for travel and exploring). From jupiter-marked agate to kyanite, to lab-created bismuth crystal from Germany to mahogany obsidian straight from Mexico, I collect everything that fascinates me. Each piece I have is from high quality dealers or passionate collectors like myself. Most of my collection is not for sale, but the stones that are will be lovingly put into hand-made bead and wire jewelry. My knowledge is not absolute though, I have quite a number of stones that I do not know the name of. I do my best to research everything about the stones I have and will never mislabel a stone. If I don't know it, I don't guess. The lazurite I have comes from a shop in Montreal, Canada where the owner bought it from a dealer in the Middle East. I do not know if it was Afganistan or not, but it may have been. I bought numerous stones from her (at a lovely discount due to the size of my order, lol). I've always considered lurking to be bad, but it seems this newsgroup thing is warped. I talk about my beaded stuff on a bead group and I'm flamed, I think lurking is bad and you suggest it. It is quite confusing. I will |

I agree. Flaming is completely different from what has happened here. What
has happened in this case is a slap on the wrist. You want flames, take your spamming to a really scary group and see what happens. Let's see......the alt.fashion group would rip you to shreds. And I love that group - it's three times more popular (in sheer number of posts) as this one. And one hell of a lot stricter when it comes to posting. -- Kandice Seeber Air & Earth Designs http://www.lampwork.net You don't seem to understand that she spammed a newsgroup...under your tutelage. If you are so experienced in ng's then you should have educated her in what is appropriate and what is not. It is unfortunate to think that she might have been a great contributor, but she set off on the wrong foot, and when it was pointed out, the pouting started. No one is perfect, but she straight away blamed the lack of a manual for how to use newsgroups, rather than admitting that she should have lurked...even for one day...to see how newsgroups operate. Nowhere has she been flamed on the group. I went back and read every message in the thread. Nope, not even a spark, never mind a flame. She was educated in what is appropriate ng behavior, and chose to pout and blame. "Maelstrom" wrote in message ... It's a shame you've driven her off. She would have been a great contributor.

Artemis -
Umm, dear, you did it again. I've deleted RCB from this tho. Like you said - it needs to stay where it belongs. (By the way, I used to have a cat named Artemis. May she chase mousies in peace.) -- JoAnn Do not meddle in the affairs of cats, for they are subtle and will **** on your computer. --Bruce Graham "Artemis" wrote in message ... No offense guys.... but you are all still cross-posting.
