And Here We Go ... Again.

“Circumstances are beyond human control, but our conduct is in our own power.”

― Benjamin Disraeli


Let me first say that I have been dealing with some heavy shit in RL since Christmas Eve.  My Mother has been in hospital, my housemate and I have the flu, and now his Father has passed away last night.

So, the last thing I wanted to hear, yesterday, was, "Have you seen Frenzy's blog today?"  I just facepalmed mentally, and thought, what now??  They haven't worked at Exile for weeks, things have been so quiet, and drama-free at Exile since their departure.  So I wandered off to have a look.

There was a bit about how supposedly, two of our staff members, who were working at Fitch's club, had "stolen" an event from them for Exile.   Let me address that first.  The idea for that event had been presented at our staff meeting.  It had been on our calendar for well over a week. Secondly, Crystal Rose is hardly the first club to use an event titled "Naked Furrsday" in reference to furries and nekos, which is something Frenzy even says in her blog.  Kudos for that bit of truth. I think its much more likely that two people had the same idea separately, at around the same time. It doesn't mean that anyone stole anything from anyone else.  And it certainly wasn't intentional on our part.  That said, are we going to change it?  Probably not.

But ... while we're on the topic of "stealing" from places ... How about the event "Time Warp", or the use of the slogan - "Accept No Imitations" - which was Exile's slogan for well over a year now? How about your Cyber Monday event, which started out as a Cyber Saturday at Exile?  How about the mass teleporting of Exile VIPs to Crystal Rose events, including ones who were actively participating in an Exile event at the time?  How about going after Exile staff to work at the glass house?

Seems a bit like the pot calling the kettle black, if you ask me, to use an old expression.

You want to talk about loyalty, and how those two staff members had none?  Perhaps you should take a long, hard look in the mirror - and your lovely "Miss" as well.  (Or is that Sir?)

Not to mention ... I really don't understand why Jynxx and I were mentioned in this blog, or today's blog, for that matter, on my part.  There's no reason for you to be bringing us up.  You haven't said two words to me since you left, nor I to you.  There's no interaction between our venues.  And, since all of you took off, Exile has been stress-free and drama-free.  No one feels as though they have to walk around on eggshells anymore.  Stop bringing us up.  Stop trying to stir drama! It really is painful to watch.  Quite frankly, I'm tired of hearing about it.  Keep whatever happens in your glass house, in your glass house, and let that be that.  If I have a need or want to look for some tomatoes or cucumbers, then I'll look you up, but really, don't count on that any time soon.

Also, if those two staff members in question have something going on - its no business of yours. Its no business of mine, or anyone elses, especially to "call them out" on it.  Mind your own business for a change.

Maybe I am being snarky - I probably am.  As I said, I've had a rough time lately.  But, we've got enough going on at OUR place, with OUR staff, and OUR patrons and friends, that we don't have time (or the want!) to be bothered with what is going on at yours.  If you want to pick fights and belittle people and etc, that is completely your business.  If you want to post about it on your blog, again, completely your business.   All I am asking is - leave me and mine out of it.  We've got nothing to do with anything that goes on over there, nor do we want to.

There's an old saying about people in glass houses not throwing stones... Might be good for you to have a read and contemplate the meaning.

BTW ... sincerely shaking my head at all of the alts that you refer to as if they are separate people. Tooo cute.  Maybe someday, you will figure it all out.  Its also funny to see how you talk about the events being "busy" or "packed" ... and to know its really just one person on 6 different avs.
