About Those Emails.... - lord brazle - 11-30-2004

LBs 2nd apology to the rest of the hipbase
(Enjoy it cuz it happens very seldom, lol)

The multitude of PMs and emails I have received point to a disturbance in the force, a disturbance that must be quelched and should've never had reared its head. I thought the rest of the hipbase might've enjoyed reading it. I thought it was utter bullshit. She reeled me along, basically told me really cool (romantic/epic) backgrounds and stuff, and then, in the end, merely left me hanging for like 2 weeks. I didn't know what to do about it and I had spoken with others from the hipbase here who had told me that she told them the same stuff. Why a former lover of Gord would come on the hipbase and tell fans such information is beyond me. One argument people have made is that she told me not to say anything and I violated her trust. She told several others the exact information and then told me that I was the only one she had spoken to. So, whatever.

Anyway, I can deal with people's mixed opinions about how I shouldn't've put it on my site or I should leave it on my site, I can deal with her emailing me saying that I violated her trust and that stalkers on the Hipbase were going to get Gord and I can even deal with people saying I am a "bad fan" for posting something (about the lyrics, which my site is dedicated to) that could potentially embarass Gord... but when Lance says "not cool" then it isn't cool. I deleted the page from my site and told Lance if he feels it appropriate than he can delete that entire thread. I was just relaying what I had heard and I did my best to remove any inkling as to this woman's identity along with the majority of the personal stuff, but if I am a "bad fan" for posting something like that, as she said, then what does that make her?

In closing, I'm sorry if I offended, insulted or disappointed anybody from the hipbase, or Gord, or the hipbase itself. But, even if it floats in the realm of fiction, I thought it would've at least been an interesting read.

Thank you for removing it from your site. I didn't think you would.

Don't ask us "what does that make her", because she isn't a member and we don't have to deal with her. This is about you. Like I said, I appreciate that you understood the gravity of the situation.

And that's what it was, an interesting read...I know I was entertained.
Thanks LB, don't hang your head in any form of shame.
And to all of you "poo poo'ers" out there, don't kid yourself I can guarantee that a number of you would have done the same thing yourself.
Goulet!!!

LB...

I have no opinion on the matter in question, but I do have an opinion about you:

A class act all the way. I mean that. I honestly think you meant no harm (why would you?) and I'm behind you 100%

Kudos to Lance as well for stepping in...

Nobody else did. He was not the first perosn she contacted. Everyone else knew what "confidence" was, and those who didn't care about confidence knew better than to expose themselves as fools for posting that tripe.

The topic was locked and the link gone by the time I got home from work, so most of the thread was irrelevent to me. I must say though, I LOVED the bunny with the pancake on it's head.

:lol:

Me too, I laughed all day. As for the thread Im glad its gone, nothing personal LB, I knew it was horseshit when I read it, but Id rather have not read it at all, but I dont blame you for putting it out there, most people would have done the same.

They would not be wrong

- joshwayy - 11-30-2004

I'm absolutely sure it was REMOVED.

I'm proud of you Braz...although it thoroughly made my day...it upset a lot of people.

It has all the markings of a very well thought out prank.

Look up "anthypophora".


But thank you, everyone else, for not holding a grudge or anything against me. :thumb:

Look up "anthypophora".

A figure of reasoning in which one asks and then immediately answers one's own questions (or raises and then settles imaginary objections). Reasoning aloud.
Anthypophora sometimes takes the form of asking the audience or one's adversary what can be said on a matter, and thus can involve both anacoenosis and apostrophe.
