26. I didn't say she was a bully for that

I said she was a bully for all the other stuff that has happened, most of it at DU2.

Before the incidences with the members of the LGBT community, I considered iverglas friendly. The way that she treated them was abusive and therefore, I have found that I don't have anything in common with her anymore and find her to be quite unfriendly.

I get it, seabeyond. iverglas is your friend and you don't want people saying bad things about her. I didn't google the feminist hosts site so that I could trash iverglas. I did it to try to figure out what was going on with all the talk of the off-site hosts group. And what I found didn't look very nice for iverglas, unfortunately. So, no I'm not a bully.

According to the dates, it looks like Neoma removed iverglas as host after iverglas banned her from the host off-site group. I could be wrong about that, but that is clearly what the dates look like. I think that iverglas should have been blocked for all the other things that she has done to people (I've already stipulated - not me) that is divisive. I think that Neoma probably shouldn't have done it out of retaliation, but I don't think that makes her a usurper, hostage-taker or any of the other things that she has been called.

I think I will now take Violet's advice and just let this die. I think I've stated my position clearly and there's no point in hashing and re-hashing this. We disagree, seabeyond. We will always disagree about this matter, but I'm OK with that.
