http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bd2B6SjMh_w I remember when, I remember I remember when I lost my mind There was something so pleasant about that place Even your emotions have an echo in so much space And when you're out there without care Yeah, I was out of touch But it wasn't because I didn't know enough I just knew too much Does that make me crazy? Does that make me crazy? Does that make me crazy? Possibly And I hope that you are Having the time of your life But think twice That's my only advice Come on now, who do you Who do you, who do you, who do you think you are? Ha ha ha, bless your soul You really think you're in control? Well, I think you're crazy I think you're crazy I think you're crazy Just like me My heroes had the heart To lose their lives out on a limb And all I remember Is thinking, I want to be like them Ever since I was little Ever since I was little It looked like fun And it's no coincidence I've come And I can die when I'm done But maybe I'm crazy Maybe you're crazy Maybe we're crazy Probably— March 11, 2010 7:03 p.m.

#Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Caught in a landslide No escape from reality Open your eyes Look up to the skies and see I'm just a poor girl I need no sympathy Because I'm easy come, easy go Little high, little low Any way the wind blows Doesn't really matter to me, to me# :)— March 11, 2010 6:01 p.m.

Actually here is what we are going to do. Since apparently I can't comment on your threads without you claiming that I am stalking you, I am going to ignore your comments. Will that satisfy the boring little control freak in you? :) But here's what I bet. You comment on my comments continually. It will be fun to see what you do, now! I'm thinking you won't be able to resist, darling, but let's hope you prove me a liar! :)— March 11, 2010 5:17 p.m.
i guess i just wish...../Pistol Pete
nan, I was on a forum where we were allowed to remove comments, and/or posters on our threads. People just ended up removing comments from people they didn't like, removing people they didn't like, it got very segregated and there were a ton of cliques, was really really horrible. People should control their mouths (fingers), and not expect others to clean up their messes. I think Reader admin here acted because they had to, and I support their decision.— March 11, 2010 5:09 p.m.

(cont.) Now personally, I think you owe me an apology for implying that I had something to do with a threat to your family, particularly your seventeen year old daughter. And I secondly think you owe an explanation to all the people you lead to believe that you were leaving. But I don't expect either of those things to happen. As to who I've alienated here or not, matters not in the least to me. I only have to worry about pleasing the people who share my plate and my bed, and thankfully, I don't have to consider anyone but myself in those matters. Why you seem so concerned about who my friends are, just reinforce how much you've been made a tool of others' machinations, as I said before. Now, it has long been obvious to me, my dear refried, that you only see what you want to see. But the obvious is right in front of your eyes. I have been pretty tough on the Reader, their writers, admin, as many people know who read my comments. But my comments have never been banned or sanctioned. Pete was banned. I was not. Get a clue, Forum God. :)— March 11, 2010 4:15 p.m.

refried, here are the comments where you state that you are leaving, and when certain members urge you to reconsider you insist that you will not: No, CF, you dropped a couple of clues, don't mind if I keep them close to the vest, as insurance. You've researched me and my family (at least, you've tried, and that's enough). I could go over there to your country and get a court order, or I can get the hell out of here. I think I'll get the hell out of here, it's quicker. I'll still read the Reader, I love it, but I don't think anyone will miss me here any more than I would niss my family if you offed them. Maybe you're not the killing type, but I really don't want to stick around to find out. You can tell me all damned day that I don't matter, and I'll wish I didn't, because obviously I do. By refriedgringo 1:45 a.m., Mar 5, 2010 Pete, I want to clarify one thing. My reasons for no longer participating here have nothing to do with Reader editors/administrators, I think they've been stellar. … I'm quitting because I don't enjoy being stalked. … Because, apparently, my infamous internet nickname invites some probing queries that, quite frankly, makes me nervous as all hell. God bless all of you, I want the best for you, and I sincerely hope that you can all love one another in spite of your differences. Because it's the human thing to do. By refriedgringo 1:35 p.m., Mar 5, 2010 I'm sure that CF will embrace this comment negatively, but to hell with it. I owe you SD, so I'll make this my last. By refriedgringo 1:29 a.m., Mar 7, 2010 Ms. Grant, this place will be just fine without me. I'm not leaving because CF enjoys running her mouth at me in here, although I'm sure she would like to think that she "took me on" and ran me off by her snarky comments. ... And I apologize for this taking place in your blog entry here, I simply felt the desire to clarify something to Pete, then to let SD know that I think the world of her and that she has a great shot at making this a better place, and now to you to let you know that a couple of other things happened that night (not on this website, but elsewhere) that are too well timed to be coincidental, and that sort of exposure doesn't make me feel comfortable. … I'll still continute to read your stuff with great interest and enjoy watching your writing develop and evolve (I can't wait for your next vacation!). I dig it. By refriedgringo 12:11 p.m., Mar 7, 2010 (cont.)— March 11, 2010 4:14 p.m.
