Feeling Sad
venting about being attacked as a kiddie pornographer
"bluinks" has forced me to go private again, after only three weeks being a public journal. Ironically, she is pleased at her successful censorship of my family. She is a self righteous prude who felt she needed to tell me how to parent and protect my children from molestation.
I feel bad enough about what happened to Mandy--I trusted and loved someone that hurt my child. He was a dear friend.
Posting an innocent picture of a toddler--which, by the way, does not show her "slit"--does not make me a kiddie pornographer, as she asserted.
is this kiddie porn?
Do I need this woman harrassing me and making me feel worse? I do not.
She won't quit emailing me.
I finally called AOL and found out how to block her from emailing me.
I need her reading my journal and filling up my in-box about as much as I need a boil on my butt.
Although, in a way I feel sorry for a woman who calls a vulva a "slit"....
I realize I am obsessing about this a bit, but I feel vulnerable and sad. My children wanted to have a public journal again. They wanted to be able to invite their friends over to see what we were doing.
But I don't need crap like this in our lives...really, I don't.
We are now in our third year of blogging, with over a hundred thousand hits (our counter has reset three times....) In the past, I've been criticized for the vulva purses, supporting legislation to prevent sewage dumping, being anti-war, posting a picture of my husband with a toilet seat on his head, supporting legislation to stop the killing of horses for human consumption, and now posting a picture of Shelby sitting next to her sisters, naked, although her genitals and even her buttocks are not visible.
Sigh. Sometimes I think about closing my journal, but then I remember all the wonderful people out there....
I deleted all her comments, her emails, and the entries about her as a way to clear my mind, but it still hurts that after everything we have been through in the past few months that I had to deal with such abuse....my last comment to her was less than kind. My sweet nature was seriously strained by this...
I didn't know all that was going on....sorry to hear that...maybe your girls can get their own private journals and invite their friends that way? I see nothing wrong with showing pictures of shelby like that...she is just a innocent child and doing innocent things.

When I look at comments posted on any of the "news" topics on AOL it astounds me the number of sick, hurtful people that are out there. Kas, you are indeed a brave soul for giving us this wonderful window into your family's life. I would be very afraid to to open my life to the insanity I see on AOL by having a blog.PS: So glad you & yours enjoyed Uncle Rube's Sea Serpent!!

I am so sorry that someone gave you trouble over what you post. To be honest...I never even noticed she wasn't dressed the first time I saw the pic....that is just Shelby.....and she's hardly ever dressed...lol. I think you are a wonderful mother...and you are doing a great job with the girls!Tracie

I don't understand why people won't leave other people alone! Hopefully she will be banished from AOL!!!!!! I hope now she will leave you alone! You are such a kind family that you don't need this :( I love you all and you are wonderful! Hope you are all doing well, I sure do miss reading your journal. I'm still using the pc's at the library :( Take care :))

People are so ridiculous sometimes. I'm glad you decided to keep journaling. It would have been a shame for you to have to stop because of someone like her harassing you.Comment from fitzzer - 2/6/06 10:30 AM

I'm very sorry for her ,too, but she is so hostile and aggressive that I needed to protect my family from her....being a survivor does not entitle you to attack other people.Comment from hestiahomeschool - 2/6/06 9:24 AM
If she had been reading for any length of time she would have known you well enough to know that you are always with your girls. I am sorry for what happened to bluinks but perhaps a trip to the nice doctor who can prescribe some nice drugs to help her get on with her life would be in order!Traci

<shaking head> and what does it say about the person who is looking and -seeing- something? I didn't see a thing wrong with the pic... stupid lady! Well, if you go private I'll just keep you on alerts instead of Bloglines <shrug> I just dont understand people like that... If it bothers you, hit the little x at the top and move along!!! But, I can understand how it would upset you, so you do what makes you feel comfortable!Oh, just a thought, but on Bloglines you can set your comments as 'moderated'. The comments don't go up till after you approve them. I know of at least one Blogger over there that used to be on AOL Journals that uses it because she has a 'stalker/lurker' that leaves rude comments......

You've got to be kidding! If she sees pornography in that, there's something wrong with HER. On the other hand, I wouldn't put pictures of my kids like that on my blog even though I see nothing wrong with it and most people don't have a problem with it just because of the weirdos out there who will see something more in it. My kids are often naked until they're ready to go outside, even my seven year old. Sometimes I take pictures of what we're doing, and then sadly realize I can't put them on our blog because they happened to be unclothed. When they were little, they would even go outside naked on a warm day. I'm sorry this woman is harassing you.Comment from juliapadg - 2/6/06 7:51 AM
Oye vey, again with the nut cases? Well I totally agree you need to sheild yourself from that kind of nonsense. Honestly! When will people finally "get" the JUDGE NOT deal?Comment from ryanagi - 2/6/06 12:58 AM
