Hi Linda,
When people choose to act, whether that act be putting up a play, making love, cooking, cleaning or just blogging on OS, they need a strategy.
You chose yours, depending on who you are and ittefak se, it worked for you - I do not see why you need to be apologetic about that. You did not call anyone "bitch", or bitch about someone behind their back, or spread lies about people or whine.
A lot of people here lost my trust and respect over time, and a few have earned it, you are one of those people.Write if you want to, do not writeif you don't want to.
Some of us fucktards really are lonely and do not have a life as some of the oversmart people here suggest is the case.
And we like to have a warm person like you around. Even my mother never ever really listened to me, but just the sight of her, made me feel all is right with the world.
I dislike being around smart strangers. I prefer to have circle jerker people that are decent to me, bec in my bloody world am the most imp person and that is that. Whoever is good to me, gets good in return, and it doesnt matter even if they be the mafia goons.
I am in a very happy state of mind right now andwould prefer to see you stay and weather this and keep posting. Do so, when you get back from seeing your son. I do believe he needs it as much as you do too. See ya when you get back.
I remember the time I nearly threw you off thinking you are one of Victoria Wolf's friends, now, am glad you bore with my anger and stayed on and over time I learned to appreciate your ways and even learned to be kind myself.
I am a decent person but I don't think I have the capacity to always be kind. When I like someone or am happy it is easy but when am unhappy or angry I find it real hard. I have been ruthless and I know I can hurt people real bad when am in I see red. So I admire people that can keep their heads until other people calm down.
I am a weak person, I tend to give in to choler - I think you are strong, and I like that in people.
Love and hugs to you (easier virtually, in real life, we Indians find it real hard to 'touch' - we are not a 'touching' culture at all, we say namaste from an arm's length ;) so we do not have to touch people :) ...
Stay well wherever you might be, I for one shall miss your presence.
------
Linda, I think, is not gone. She is not the kind that would run away and give in to fuckmuppetry. One reason I admire her. She had told me she would be in Canada mid June, it is end June. She must be visiting her son in Canada; he is unwell, has been very ill, lately. I hope no mother in the world ever has to deal with what she has had to. I hope and pray things turn out for the better for this family.
She could not go earlier as she herself was not well.
I have never been ashamed of who I am. I have never pretended to be smarter, brighter, writer, or any of the super either.
I live by some very simple principles, the most basic of which is, until someone is bad to you, harms you, attempts to harm you, malign you, hurt you in some way or any of your friends, you be good to them. If someone is good to you, you be good to them too.
Algis, I tried a hundred times to get the comment box in your blog to open so I could wish you on your birthday, it just doesn't for some strange reason, and I didnot want to sign off without saying Happy Birthday to you, have a great day, woman. Keep posting. I enjoyed some of your black and white pictures but not all - and not so much as your graveyard pictures - but then I hardly understand the grammar or science of photography.
Good night.

HUGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
O and I dont mind mutual admiration societies either bec the whole world, runs on a give-n-take transaction basis, those that choose to believe otherwise, might be deluding themselves. We do what we do, bec of what we get out of it. Sometimes, it is earthly gains, tangible stuff, sometimes it is transient and transcendental - the transaction though is still there. I live life with an open mind and I love life nevertheless. And that's why I think am a great person and worthy to be here or wherever.
On a side note: maybe am like this bec I have all these fire signs influencing my life - just cant help being egotistical. I have a Leo moon and then a Sagittarian sun, I never forget me, myself, mine, ours, us, we - even for a second. It has to be that way. ALL the BLOODY TIME. So, another hug to you, Linda. Not bec you are usu polite and nice but bec am happy ;) you must take care, there shdnt be a relapse.
On a serious note, DHA, I am not surprised that you understood and took it in the right spirit.
rated with love
It may only be blogLand here but politeness can easily be forgotten and a tribal mentality set in.
It's good we never forget we are online n hear by choice and no one needs to swear like a English Trooper every five words to make their point.
Rated with a cheap Chinese UG.

I hope she comes back. She's a great girl and a good writer getting better.
And heaven help her, she's nice. That's still not a crime, even among artists. There ARE nice artists. Just not a lot of them.
I agree that Linda is a lovely woman, and I hope she returns to us soon. Nice post.

"Some of us fucktards really are lonely
and do not have a life
as some of the oversmart people here suggest is the case."
As the smartest person on os,
I say: it's a dreary, predictable, boring thing,
ultimately,
a so-called "dust up".
Nothing inspirational or intriguing is inculcated in anyone's mind.
Just pain or the ephemeral pleasure of "ha, gotcha, fuckface!"
The world is boring enough as it is.
Why make it more uninteresting?
Linda had alot more to say.
And anyway, she ain't gone,
she moved.
You have a naughty mouth, by the way...
Ha! What would yr momma say?
:-)
i also like trig ... i happen to know him better, but that is neither here nor there.
whats interesting to me is how everyone seems to think their reality, their view is THE true view; as though they are completely unaware that what they see isn't what everybody sees and is only THEIR truth.
the egos involved on BOTH sides are incredible... and i don't mean that in a good way.
I think tr ig was just a bit abrasive.
Folks need skin as thick as pine bark.
Native Indians never could figure men.
The woman have smooth delicate skins.
In an imperfect world folk need tough hides.
A porcupine has natural - sharp defense quills.
One day I was stung by a honey bee on my penis.
It swelled up bigger than a Lady's Pink Softball.

Lezlie
I'd like to address what Lezlie said. "Many could learn from the gracious way Linda addressed this attack."
Attack? Let me assure that there was no attack.
I left a comment at a meta post of a blogger I had never read before. She asked advice; how to up her readership. I said "ask Linda" who reads and rates damn near every post posted with a hahaha and a hug, usually little else to give the writer any inkling that she knew what the content of the post was. She commented on every single post I did since she arrived, often times first, but the comments were obviously rushed, as if she was in a hurry to get back to the new post feed to find a new one to rush over to and comment, then to the next, etc.
Now, the best way to get readers here at OS is to "read, rate and comment" often. It's OS 101.
I, as many others have, got the impression that Linda may not have actually been reading, due to the extreme quickness of her torrid comment trail, that she was taking fuckmuppetry i.e circle-jerkery, to the next level, a place where no reader and commenter had gone before. As I believe I asked over at that post, in response to the wise and venerable, sometimes delirious and ever condescending to women in general, old coot Matt Paust, "have you EVER been to a post to comment and not seen Linda Seccaspina somewhere above you with a big ol' hug?" (from memory) I haven't. EVER.
I asked how it is humanly possible to actually read and absorb that many posts, that quickly.
To me (and once again, many others) it seemed like she did it for the sake of bringing readers to her own blog, which admittedly is often cute and well done.
Well, turns out I was all wrong. Linda is an accomplished speed reader, and genuinely just likes to encourage and "find the good" in people.
What a freaking stink I started by saying "aloud" what others said in private for months!
Personally, if people were talking, casting aspersions, behind my back, I'd like someone to tell me, even if it hurt a bit temporarily.
So I took the hit and the ensuing heat "for the team." What a mistake THAT was!
Anyway, that's my last words on the subject. I've done my best to explain over and over again. I too, like Linda.
Attack? I have in fact attacked at least one person here at OS. Her name is Bonnie Russell (hence departed). She deserved it too, repeatedly. You want to see ATTACK, then look those pieces up on my blog. Truly, I'm sick to death of hearing here about how I ATTACKED poor Linda.
Lezlie
like f---muppet, circle jerk, and f---tard.
uh, do you even *know* what a circle jerk is?
but yeah, thanks for assimilating so well.... wink
your attempt at being condescending was amusing. Keep up the parochial mindset and you would go far where you are, wink ;) - thanks for your visit.
Is it slap Linda Week?
I am finding all kinds of Rhetoric and , sadly, she is not on this blog.
I was looking for another blog to share my antics, but alas, most are droll and have singular mindsets.
Personally I don't care if someone's a rating hound. I mean, after all, aren't we all?
Just like any media, we cannot continue without a fan base and money.
Linda works awfully hard for this. She gives us ratings, we give her ratings.
She is working her ass off to give us essay's and editorials as well as visiting us, giving us attaboys and a thumbs up.
What is the problem
