LEB's last post:
a fitting final goodbye
Feb 20, 2012 - 08:59pm PT
I will catch everyone tomorrow - I am turning in early tonight. It was my day off and I have not felt very well all day. Passed on a desert hike and now I am off to bed early.
nighty night

I just logged in and read this thread for the first time, and note with interest that Rox has been ranting incessently about me. Uh, wtf, over?
Did I miss something? Besides LEB getting handed her hat, I mean?

No prob, Rox. There are so many of us Bob's out here it's unmanagable. I'm one hell of a lot better looking than Bobby D, though!
As for leb, well, I guess she won't have that Old Washed-up Sparkle Jockey bvb to kick around anymore...

Roxjox - I KNOW the importance of AA to the people who cannot control their drinking and I did it ON PURPOSE.
Why shouldn't I have been stripped of my colors and sent packing instead of her?
You maybe should have been. But probably weren't because you didn't have the ability to inflict the damage LEB did.
Or maybe you do. Time will tell.
Let me say - I read most every post Lois ever made(except on the threads I don't go on, of course). I found them excruciatingly painful at the start(when she had poor grammar, and was airheaded). I WAS mean to that person back then. But then I realized I was doing just what some people on rc.com were doing to me - joining in a ganging up beat down. I decided to not do that anymore, and so I didn't.
I did think some people were VERY beyond the pale in hatred toward her. I haven't any respect for those persons, for that behavior.
I have mixed feeling as to whether the LEB was a troll personna of several people. I wish, now, that I HAD taken the time to meet her in person when I was traveling through AZlast winter. Then I would know.
If LEB is a single person, it is a shame that they couldn't find a way to turn around the signal to noise ratio. Apparently the medical advice to some was very appreciated and apparently good information. But...there are other nurses/docs here, who do help out when called upon(though usually more careful about crossing professional boundary lines).
If LEB IS a mix of several people - then those people are really f*#ked up. There's no other word for it. And I say that in a general sense, from the level of malaise brought to this site over the years.
As it pertained to me, in the sobriety thread, it was not really skin off my nose. As someone said - I can take care of myself. But that place is a place where people who could be ONE DRINK away from catastrophe. Catastrophe not only for themselves, but for others who are in their lives or may cross their paths. You might think "F*#k the f*#king alcoholic" - fine. Within your rights. But we active alcoholics have the capacity to cause a lot of collateral damage.
Who KNOWS if the ruin of such a thread can the capacity to be the fulcrum on a lever that switches a situation from living to dead for some person - the alcoholic or someone related - their child, their lover, some bystander going about their business....
I can tell you that I have had someone come to me, years after the fact, and tell me that a few words I had said - A FEW WORDS! - were the DIRECT link that switched them from a plan of suicide to a plan of life.
Words I barely recall, words whose power I was completely oblivious to. The sobriety thread has similar power.
And yes, negative words, too, carry the power to destroy. Why not live our lives with an awareness that every word we make, every action we take, has such power. Power to uplift, power to take down. We can not know if our words/actions will have that life, or if they will lay fallow. That is the beauty of life. We have ALL power, yet we have no ability to control that power - no matter HOW much we think we do!
Why would we choose to wield a sword of destruction, when instead we can hold a bouquet of hopeful blossoms? Why would we CHOOSE that?

just checking to see if Rox has been offed yet, though I really do agree with his first post on this thread.
Very nice words Terrie! Good luck, hope you're climbing today. I am.
You guys really think someone could make up those consistent idiosyncrasies that get under so many of your skin?

well said happie!
problem is rox probably still won't understand. CMac is a Kalifornian and so.... blinders.
this was most likely a one person job - cmac. he probably got tired of the noise ration (100%). whine and bit all y'alls want but half of you seem to be hacking away at the "reason" she got the axe. his site - his call.

But that place is a place where people who could be ONE DRINK away from catastrophe.
The internet is a bad place for anyone one drink away from catastrophe. It's bad enough for people without issues.
I'll have to go read that thread and see what LEB did to get banned. This drama of people getting banned is sort of new here and really quite strange and a little sad. LEB seemed to make long winded posts that moved the focus onto her a little bit but other people seem much more deserving of expulsion if this is going to be an exclusive club from now on.
If I get tossed out, I'll have nothing to do at work all day except read posts at rockclimbing.com. That will be fun.

I agree with Roxjox and Jaybro.
Also I think that Lois NAILED it in her first couple or so of posts, before everyone piled onto her and she got defensive.
