just my objective-third-party opinion here, but it doesn’t sound like Gershom’s ARD thing isn’t really fighting for the same rights as you, BLC.

not to mention the fact that you can’t separate an adoptee from the population of adoptees…

what makes you so mad about BLC, Gershom?

Who acts like this because people didn’t weap at her withdrawl from the committee she was only a part of for a week or so?

We’ve been over this before.

Ron (who at the time was the lead organizer) asked me to help back in March, the event was scheduled for July. I resigned May 31st.

Let’s be clear, Ron asked me to “be our volunteer trainer and head monitor at the protest” on March 9th ‘08.

After several e-mails back and forth I accepted on March 14th ‘08.

So I’ve been working on this formally since March.

Back to your comment-

You know what one of my best memories of you is? Being on the phone with you and asking if you’d go into the convention and speak to the legislatures and you saying that “it wasn’t your thing to talk to leggies”

Well then you might want to have your memory checked because what I said was actually far more specific-

I would do the booth if necessary, but it being not dissimilar to a trade show, the ARD should be represented by people who not only know the issues, but have a very professional and ‘trade show’ look to them. It was a particular role the ARD was going to want to essentially do careful casting for, doubly so as so much of the time there were under the best of circumstances, going to be mere minutes of interaction with individual staffers and legislators. Which was part of how we got into your discussion of the suit you were planning to wear.

We also went over who all was financing the booth and how the few seats would most likely be divvied up, and how me being in the booth was ultimately not going to be necessary as there were already more than enough people for the few chairs available.

Yes, I most certainly have done, and will continue to work with legislators.

But then all of this is nuance and you’d far rather lie about me.

Separating you and bastard nation and its associates further away from the adoptee population?

I don’t know how many more times I can say it, even when I was on the ARD committee for NOLA I was clear from the outset, I, and my partner were acting purely as individuals and not on behalf of any organization or group.

This blog is independent. to quote my WTF? page-

On my independence

As I pointed out over on the “about” page I’m just me.

I am what some of us in certain cultures have proudly referred to as a “GDI” or “god Damn Independent!” I don’t get paid to blog, I don’t work for the industry. I’m a lifetime member of Bastard Nation, though that’s roughly as relevant as my membership in Reef Relief (Had enough? Here, go be nice to a nifty underwater ecosystem or something.)

Finally, bizarrely, you state-

Your day is done girl…

What, you think I was once some kind of Reigning Queen of Bastardy ™? and now you think you’re what, dethroning me?

You clearly mistake my importance or lack thereof.

Perhaps to your mind I’m larger than life, so much so that you find yourself posting crap like this at 1am eastern the night before the current ARD, but rest assured, I personally maintain no such personal delusions of grandeur.

What is your thing sabina? Bashing the very people who are fighting for the same rights as you? Separating you and bastard nation and its associates further away from the adoptee population? Your day is done girl… I suggest taking a walk and enjoying the sun it may bake some sense into you. Clearly you need it.
