Sounds like a wonderful you, Aim.
~r

Man,
Why are people so MEAN? There is absolutely no justification at all.
I have lots of deficits and am the first to admit it.
We are who we are and we stand proud. No need to write this but it was said well. We know who you are.
HUGGGGGG

I think you're still cute as hell - what I can see of you, that is, peeking around from behind that tombstone with the little devil's horns poking up. Yep, cute as hell. ;-|

Oh lord, looks like we are in for another long spell of ugliness on OS!

Do you have any idea who this person is?

Drunk, drug addict, prostitute, whore - whatever. But don't you dare say I'm boring!

I too think you were a pedestrian. If walking on the street made us a whore, we'd all be whores-- darling. I don't think there is such a thing as a boring whore, and most drunks are either pretty or ugly-- not plain. I must take a walk now and I will feel like some whore.
WTF to this all , and life in general. E-GAD.

Haha. You are not boring!!!

Sounds like Red Rocket had a heaping bowl of mesquite for breakfast. From where does all that invenctive come? How can it possibly make him/her feel good about him/herself? From where the chutzpah to think his/her imagination is large enough to know the smallest fragment of the mystery you are, or any of us is? Aim, your response is classy, and sharp--this is good: "I remain happily without any more info about you."

I believe you to be a very kind person who reaches out to those you feel have been treated unkindly and unfairly, and that is beautiful, if not cute, in my dictionary.

jramelle: The comment is posted on my last blog post...at the very end. You'll have to scroll through many comments. Thanks for your comment today - you obviously know what you're talking about,
and it is nice to see someone who embraces sobriety without any residual bitterness. I know that is tough, and I applaud your strength.
TME - Thanks!
Linda - I am guilty of continuing a cycle of mean by posting this, but...BORING?! That makes me mad!
Matt: Thanks. I suppose my avatar is not very revealing except for the fact that I rock.
Fernsy: Careful out there! Walking down a street can easily become street walker. I'm actually offended for the prostitutes - how dare anyone devalue women who are most often forced into prostitution. I have never had to sell my body for money, and I'm sure that it is a very unpleasant experience.

Thanks Jerry! I suppose we always imagine the worst things that could be said about us. So this is it for me, I hope. But having it in print makes it almost funny, like a grade school insult fest. Truly, the only thing that bothers me is the accusation that I am boring. Them's fighting words!

Aim, One would never say you are boring hahaha. You are FARRRRRRRR from that baby.:)

I've actually met you. You are adorable and definitely not boring. Definitely not. ~r

Thank you Romantic Poetess. Hope you are thriving today!

Joan...adorable? I love it. God help us if any of us become boring whores! One or the other, but not both!

Linda - I can't help but agree. Thanks!

aim,

Christ Almighty. Some people - in this case a woman, I suspect - need to get a life. What a classy way to respond to that bullshit. Kudos to you.

In my state it's decriminalized and we might be on our way to having a sane drug policy.


my state too. the constitution one. shall not name names.
dont wish buncha potheads
like art james & scanner to
be tempted.

I've never understood this side of OS. Or why editors put up with it.

You are a gorgeous writer who is capable of such sublime beauty in posts as to render one a mess of thankful tears.

Boring? You? I musta fallen asleep before I got to that part. As the kids say nowadays, "Nuh uh."

Thanks Scarlett. Funny that this comment is on my last post in...early May. So someone wants me to be pissed off. But I'm not. There's a strange satisfaction when people rip off the costume and reveal themselves. I remain a proud woman with an interesting past that is strangely similar to others pasts and experiences. Pain is a great way to generalize, I guess. BUT I AM NOT BORING!

James: Great to see you. I noticed that on the news feed. Vermont is going further. Maybe it will get you hungry enough to go to that women bbq outside your window!
Vanessa - it would be great if everyone behaved with dignity, but whatevs - it's the internets. Best to do as you always do - write and comment far away from the stupidity. You do it so well, you lovely person!

I was told that Red Rocket is actually an alter for Robin Sneed (she said as much on a post on Susan Creamer Joy's blog) and that she has another identity, Weiner's Wiener. Both of these identities have recently been leaving ugly comments on posts here of respected writers. There is a long history here that many of us know the details of, and it's a sad picture of someone taking advantage of good-hearted people.

There has been a lot of discussion about this behind the scenes, but it's time for the next generation of folks who are going to be taken in by requests for help to know what they're letting themselves in for.

The comments I've seen have been left on blogs that belonged to people who have not, to my knowledge, had any history with this person, so AIM should probably not take this personally.

The editors should take note of this behavior and take the appropriate action.

aim, you've got lots of friends here, too. that crazy jealous person is a fruitcake.

Hehehehe! I started the red rocket blog to perhaps put up some mystery fiction...and I saw your blog and automatically commented! Good news: I got to rate twice! xox

Robin Sneed
FEBRUARY 10, 2011 05:16 PM


On Susan Creamer Joy's Bloy Feb 10. Just so we know.

Through the last year or two of reading I have always found your posts touching and well written. Not one has been boring. The rest of the invecitves are just so much sturm and drang. Never let the bastards get you down. Ever.
Strength, peace, love.
Rated.

This is real? Where is she, let me at her! No one insults my friend unless she can defend herself back....which you did quite well....so I guess that ends that.
I still can't believe someone who did not know anything about you would write something this hateful out of the blue. WHAT is wrong with people?

I'm with Scarlett - a very classy response to a big load of bullshit. You continue to impress me, my dear. xoxo

Well, I suppose the mystery is solved. It is indeed R.Sneed taking on multiple identities and crapping all over people's blogs. Or she has given this alter to her new found family member...it;s so weird to me, because the last thing I would do if and when reuniting with family members is to introduce them to OS and have them take on roles and start leaving comments. I guess I'm traditional - we usually eat cheese and crackers and talk to each other. Just saying...

I am not an alter for Robin Sneed. Robin is my boyfriend (Weiner Wiener's) aunt. We think your never ending pummeling of her, someone who never comments on your blog or relates with you in anyway is despicable. Robin set the Red Rocket blog up over a year ago in an attempt to get a mystery writers group going. It didn't go anywhere. She was showing me around Open Salon and told me she had set that up because I love writing and reading mystery novels. I asked to use it. Please don't blame her for my well placed attack of you. She neither asked me or my boyfriend whose name is Jason (mine is Katherine) to do this nor did she stop us. Our aunt is a gifted writer who went through a terrible time. That's over now. She's back home where we wanted her to be for the last year. I was just giving you a taste of your own medicine.

Thanks, Tired of This for your very apt comment.

Rita - I love you. Let's blow the lid off of this whole stupid thing.

LL2 - I'm sorry that this obviously reveals someone who you might like. Thanks for having my back. I am truly sorry taht you, the kindest person, have to wade through this crap.

Scylla: Thank You. Let me know when you take your trip - I would love to meet you on your way to the mountain.

Unbreakable - it is so strange and absurd. But I really plead that nobody else consider taking R. Sneed into their home.

**I AM NOT BORING! **

So, Katherine...please explain why you think you know I am a a drunk, a drug addict and a whore.

One last comment: for about $60 anyone can run a background check on a person which would include any criminal convictions and outstanding arrest warrants. Before anyone considers giving personal information about oneself and/or money to someone one has "met" on the Internet, it would be a wise investment. The stories some people tell about themselves online can be mostly or entirely fabricated.

Just for the record: I have only left comments on R.Sneeds posts when she is blatantly dragging someone through the mud or deliberately skirting the truth. I did try to leave a comment several times on her post about the Paper thing, but it kept on being deleted. All I ever ask is that she tell the truth about her hijinks with people from OS - including, but not limited to, almost destroying a families life due to her psychotic behaviour and subsequent unfounded accusations against them. I don't forget this stuff. I'm delighted that she is now with family - maybe they could all go away forever.

**inhaling banned substance**: you are clever and made me snort with laughter. **exhaling banned substance**: i wish i had appreciated the body i had in my youth that might have made anyone believe i was a streetwalker. i'm assuming at this juncture, i'm more often mistaken for a bag lady, and proudly so.

don't let the trolls get ya down or angry. every site has its crazies and we have ours. sometimes we are them. :)

i would shake my head in dismay along with you but it would make me too dizzy for no good reason.

Sounds like your on the right side of road walking in the right direction.

Good evening! Lots of people here seem obsessed with my aunt. Literally obsessed. From what I understand only one person commenting here has ever met Robin and the remainder have very limited contact with her. No one here has asked her about any of it. You simply choose to believe whatever you read or hear about her. The lack of critical thinking here, the willingness to jump on this obsessed with Robin Sneed bandwagon is remarkable.

Even more pathetic is that it's Friday night and although you talk of sitting around chatting with your family, you're here talking about someone you have never met. I'm only writing this because it involves my aunt. Otherwise, you wouldn't find me anywhere near a computer on my off time. My aunt showed us around Open Salon because it has had something clearly to do with where she got to. Believing people online are true friends is always a mistake. My aunt is very trusting. She tends to see the best in everyone. I do too, but at a distance.

While all of you sit here discussing her, in true fan form, she is making snacks for us to all watch a movie together. That's what we do around here on a Friday night. We enjoy. We have fun.

I'm out.

God bless.

Stand up for yourself, Aim, you're all right in my book.

Thanks Cranky.

Um, WW nephew of Robin...I am delighted that you are all together as a family and hope you all comfort each other in a great way with popcorn etc. I just ask that you refrain from leaving stupid comments everywhere. Robin is a talented writer - support her and find new venues for her work. Right now you three ( I am suspending disbelief ) are kind of being assholes. BTW - how is the family business going? I was thinking of getting the armed liquour cabinet, but then I realized that Robin is thousands of miles away.
If you are happy and your girlfriend is happy and your aunt is happy, well, that is great news. Go be happy and stop commenting - really, just go away.

Amazing, there are still OS rats who find Ms. Sneed benign and encourage her antics in the name of "art".

The question is who is more dangerous? I say, they are all to blame.

Red and Weenie are definitely alters.

Yes, the miracle family involved in the Pyramid scheme "deus ex machina".

Like I said, if we are all drunk, tomorrow we will be sober. The alters and the original will still be the people they are, "questionable".

Oh my goodness gracious. Gak!

You've been targeted too, eh? I got this comment out of the blue a few days ago on my blog:

Okay, you're that idiot. I've heard so much about you. You've done some really stupid stuff. Your brother must be the other idiot. From what I hear he can write when he isn't bombed off his ass. You on the other hand seem to have no redeeming qualities.

June 06, 2011 09:04 PM


It took all of a minute and a half to figure out who it was.

I suppose I was targeted but I also have been very vocal about R. Sneeds horrible and slanderous posts. All of which get deleted on her whim. So accusing someone of something heinous - that gets my attention. Deleting the post does not mean the slander is gone - at all,. Auntie Robin has done her best to ruin the reputations of people as she slimes her way across the country. She's like a slug - moving along via her own regurgitation - but she's also fast. I, personally, would not blow off a court appearance. I think this thread is proof enough that she is a real threat to people. The bottom line is this: I hope she can snuggle up to her (suspending disbelief) relatives and just go away. Forever. Until then I will make sure everyone knows exactly what she does for a living - grifter.

Red Rocket posted vitriol on one of my old blog posts. I deleted it. You have NOTHING to prove to anyone who knows you here. Don't stoop to that cretin's level.

Why on earth is this red rocket attacking you? What's WITH people! Mentally disturbed, obviously. My advice is to ignore such crap. (I have two mentally/emotionally disturbed people who have [mildly] crapped on me, and that's what I do: ignore. Anything more so and I'd complain to the management, FWIW...tho a few nasties have got thrown off ... eventually...)

I have the utmost respect for gay women. Are you a drinking poet?

Weiner's Wiener
JUNE 07, 2011 12:22 PM


please make your popcorn and whateve red rockert, RS. Weiner Weiner but not on my post about my dying father.
appreciated.
it took me awhile to learn.

I think we know all we need to know about RR.

You, on the other hand, are endlessly fascinating and entertaining. And no, never boring. I'm appalled that someone would be so coarse (and arrogant) to respond as that "person" did. I'm impressed by your response. Good aim.

I think you are fascinating and an enthralling writer even before I found out here you met Joan H. and she thinks you're terrific. The commenter must've been having a very bad day to write such a mean string of words.

Just send these nasty PMs and nasty comments to the American Weiner's Osar Grouch Association. Then-save ballet dance club.

Email to Sarah Palin's fan club.

Here's to mud in yer eye, egg in yer beer, ye've never been boring, yer aim's crystal clear. Bukbukbukbegorrah.

Oops, thought I was Chicken Maaan.

There's room on this blog for only one rooster, buster! Buk on that, old man.

Well I love you dearly. I still remember getting the "chill bumps" about the Civil War soldier story you wrote ages ago. I am trying to feel compassion for someone in such distress that they resort to a baseless, juvenile, pathetic attack. It's hard work.........

I'm clearly out of the loop. What the hell?

I don't understand 98 percent of this, so perhaps should withhold comment, except that I like you, aim, and it seems a time and place to express that.

What the?@*#? I have enjoyed your work, and am sorry you are being maligned in this way. It is completely in appropriate.

Here we go again? Oh Joy!

I'm now my aunt Robin's (Robin Sneed) press agent. You can send all of this through me from now on.

God bless.

Wait, it's wrong to be a prostitute? Crap, now you tell me!! ~tears~ :D

"So, don't insult prostitutes by comparing them to me."

Pfffft, I think you're cool and pretty, make a fine damn prostitute!!! :D (What? I like drama like the next cat but, I have a unique way of showing it!! :D)

P.S. you're awesome too!! Why?

Cause, you're a friend to the Tink. He needs friends. TEARS!!

The more prostitutes he gets as friends, the more candy he gets!!

:D

~wanders off~

I too respect sex workers Alison.

Wiener wiener nephew etc.: I didn't sneeze. (God Bless!) I am thrilled that you are going to be your aunt's press agent and hope you find many new venues to represent her work. I wish you all the best of luck as you explore and discover other places on the internet.

As for the rest of you!
Emma - anytime anything controversial comes up your name gets dragged into it. So you have been accused of writing "mean" things using an alter identity. PLEASE OS LISTEN UP: Emma, like me, never writes using an alter. Ever. I am not Emma, Tilapia is not Emma, and Emma rarely posts here anymore and probably couldn't care a whit about most of this stuff.
The reason I wrote this blog was to expose R.Sneed and her (suspending disbelief) relatives for writing horrible things on many people's blogs. I will now pat myself on the back and say "Good job!". I like bad things that hurt me and others to be exposed - kind of like when you expose something dark and moldy to sunlight. You go "Yuck!" and you throw it away.

Dear suspended disbelief, umm, I mean AIM: I can attest to the fact that you are the opposite of all things RS's uninformed "neice" had to say, and then some! I can also attest to the fact that she just plain frightens me!

Murder of Crows: Snort! (cough) You are hilarious. Don't shake your head in dismay while inhaling - that's my golden rule.

Myriad: It seems to be a regular component of this online site - the crazies. Sorry anyone has denigrated your blog - that magic garden.

Rita: So sorry - that is truly horrible. C'mon now, WW Sneed et al - really? Leaving a nasty comment on a post about grief? Shaking my head in disbelief...

AHP: Thanks so much. Truly.

Algis: Thanks for commenting. You are one of the best artists on this site, and I feel like your gift is diminished through this crap.
(actually, I feel the same way for most of the fine people who have commented here. So many amazing and talented people.)

Linnn- Thanks so much. I am also delighted to know that a Joan H. endoresement lends me so much cachet! She's a dynamo, and a kind and generous soul - who happens to write beautifully as well.

Art: I love you. You are brilliant always.

Matt: Thankks for cracking me up with the Chicken Maan.

Ann, Kathy, greenheron...thanks for reading and wtf and it's all going to go away soon. I hope. I kind of don't mind if I'm the target since, well, I can handle it. I don't like seeing nice people abused, slandered, and treated as fools. If nice is foolish, well...we are all in big trouble.

Sheila T - Thanks and sorry! Mostly this can be ignored while we concentrate on actually writing stuff and reading stuff I hope.

Tink: So confusing! I am not a prostitute but I am your friend. I am sorry to dissapoint you . I'm still trying to figure out if I'm an ugly whore - not sure that fits your requirements. But if so...!!!!

tr ig: I hope you and your loved ones are having a great weekend. Loved the pictures from your last trip. As you know, none of this really matters in the entire scope of things.

Ooh, you got a really juicy comment from her. I got one saying "Oh, you're that person who pays for sex on craigslist." Then she comes over here to complain that you that you're *charging* for sex. Damn, some folks are just never satisfied.

~huge hug~ Nah, you not ugly!! And pffft, remember WHORES GET PAID TO DO IT, SLUTS DO IT FOR FREE!!

;D

~wanders off again~
