My Response

Posted in General (Tags: , )

I was going to respond to some of the drama over a direct tweet, but my reply got rather long and so I thought, seeing as the person in question has blogged and tweeted their heart out, then so can I.

This is a response to an individual I need to vent to. I need to get it out of my system so that I can forget all about it and move on. The person in question knows this post is here.

Hiya,

I’ve held off. You know I could have said something sooner, but I have restrained myself. You know what I’m like, you have met me. You know I say things that I’m thinking regardless of what other people may think of me. On that note, I think I have done rather well to not mention something sooner regarding your issue that you have emblazoned across your blog, Twitter and elsewhere.

Regardless of what you think of the person in question, not everyone does. Your plan of “uprising” people who have left the “cult” is complete bullshit. It’s not a cult. If you think hard, you know it’s not. It’s a person working her ass off to make a fantastic magazine, and a wonderful group of like-minded people trying to help her achieve that. She isn’t making anyone write the amount they do. They don’t have to stick around if it’s not for them. They do it because they see the vision she has, and want to help. Many do it for selfish reasons – after all, writing for a growing online magazine is bloody good for any CV. They don’t care that it’s voluntary, they just care. Every single one of the writers we have on board at the moment are absolutely fantastic writers and fantastic people.

She isn’t working people to the bone. She is so far from your assumptions that she’s on a completely different page. She doesn’t deserve any of the stuff you are trying to do to her, but because she’s a better person than others, she hasn’t responded like I know she could have. She isn’t using any writer. She isn’t one of the “popular girls” that are bullying people into doing what she says. And as for her “plastics”… Really? Do you really think we’re plastic? Far from it.

If anyone could have had the audacity to whinge and moan and bitch about her, it would have been me. But I didn’t. Why? Because she’s a fucking star. Sure, we did a lot of work in the beginning. I did absolute shit loads. Why? Because she’s a fucking star. I was never asked to do the amount I did. I was always thanked and appreciated. Just like you were. Nobody is bullied into doing any more than they signed up to do. There are no shackles. There are no chains. There is no red hot poker.

I’m disappointed in you. I thought you were a lovely person when I met you. I thought you had the same sort of aspirations with regards to the magazine as the others did. But you don’t. You never really have, have you?

You’re poisoned, and you’re trying to poison others. In actual fact, people who know her and you, will see the true colours of you – someone that can hide her callous and lies rather well. The people who don’t see you for who you really are, aren’t worth time and effort. In fact, I feel sorry for them, because they are being sucked in to your lies as well. One day, I hope they will see you for who you really are. I just hope they don’t get hurt by your cruelty.

I just know who I’d prefer to remain great friends with.

I don’t wish to say any more. I don’t wish to know you any more. I have removed you from Twitter and Facebook. I wish you good luck with your future endeavours and hope that one day, you will find happiness. I hope that one day, you will learn from this. I really do.

    Absolutely spot on. Couldn’t have said it better myself.

    You know full well how committed I was and I used to feel exactly the same as you. It’s all sunshine and roses until someone goes against the grain, and it’s not the first time it’s happened, you know that.
    I hope that you don’t suffer what I have suffered, but I am sure that you will, and when you do feel free to give me a shout for support

      I’m sorry you feel like this, but from where I’m standing, there is no problem. I won’t suffer what you’ve suffered because I completely admire what is being done. If I struggle, I say so as and when it happens; things get fixed. It’s a shame it had to go this far. Considering how fully committed you were, you haven’t had any qualms about shouting your mouth off over public domains for all to see. You haven’t had any qualms with making insinuations that aren’t true.

      Good luck with life Liv.

      Suffer what you’ve suffered? Come off it, Olivia, it’s hardly like doing a stint in Guantanamo Bay, is it? Talk about over-egging the pudding. I really wanted to remain friends with you, but this is just flagrant bullshit. I hope one day you start to take responsibility for yourself and your own life.

    Why Livi I believe we have seen the real you now! Stirring lies, rumours and now mixing with those you slagged off in the past.

    The way you treated her when you left was disgusting and proved what you really thought all along. Funny how missed out on your post the out burst of nasty attitude she had too put up with from you.
