This post is for a select few people that are suddenly coming to this blog to read my posts, and harass me through the comments. Just as an FYI for everyone else that reads here...
Guys, I left over 2 months ago, I think it was? I didn't look back. I thought Terri was going to delete my account, so I deleted all the links to the board, and haven't thought much of it since.
Then, last week, Pricey found it worth her two cents to comment on a post. So I knew that someone other than Terri and Jillian were reading here. Fine. Whatever. I don't know why she reads, since she hates me so much, but I'm not one to say who can and can't read my blog, so it is what it is.
And now today, I'm getting comments from more of you, and I really, really don't know what I did to deserve the venomous attacks. This is what my blog is, guys. It's where I complain about the general public I come into contact with, and talk about shit that's going on with me, right down to the boob yeasty stuff.
I have a meeting I have to go to, so here's all I ask: if you want to comment and tell me what you think of me, then go ahead. Call me Faith, though, ok? If you don't, I'll have to return and delete all the comments you left, and that goes against all I like to do here. But get it out of your system, wherever it came from, and whatever it's about. If you want to, anyway.
I thought I left on good terms. I really tried to leave things in a classy, grown-up manner. So...I don't get this. I really don't.

I didn't delete your account. It's actually still there. A bunch that deleted their own.
--signed, Switzerland.
Switzerland is French for pussy.
I don't know what's up with all of this but it sounds retarded. I could understand stalking this blog because of the funny, but these comments are just bringing it down.
I apologize. I don't like you, but that means I should just let you be. I think you were rude and weird at the get together, and it just went downhill from there. It's not nice to talk behind peoples' backs, especially to their husbands. It's not nice to call other girls "chunky"...I guess ESPECIALLY in front of them...and it's not nice to comment that people are being cliquey when you're off by yourself, not talking, not interacting...and continuously complaining about the people at the get together.
I do think that your boob yeast infection is gross, though. There are several reasons why someone might have a breast yeast infection...but you're not a nursing mother, and unless "Leo" has thrush and has been sucking on the underside of your breasts....well, I'll just leave that thought alone. When you comment that you'll have to go to a dermatologist to get that fixed, it's not MY intelligence level that should be called into question. Poor health is an extremely common reason for the growth of yeast in moist areas. But, maybe it's as simple as your having had a course of antibiotics recently.
So, I apologize. I just don't like you, and I should have left it at that.
Cheers,
Kate
Hmmm. I forgot to say how this all started.
You are angry about EVERYTHING. You are ALWAYS angry. You are angry at the world and everyone in it. It's depressing to be "around" you, because you are such an angry person. Take a look at your posts, the way you are online, what's in your "about me" spot. Angry, angry, angry.
After a while, it's useless to make subtle suggestions about "talking to someone about that" or whatever.
Being "around" you is no walk in the park either, Kate.
If being "around" her is depressing, if her blog is so depressing/angry, if you don't even like her, then why are you even here? Is it because someone read about the yeast and brought it over and you thought you'd have some fun poking at her about it? That sounds about right.
I just don't see the point in reading the blog of someone you can't stand, really.
Coming from a person who folds jeans for a living and threatens people with cheesy Canadian family court lawyers, I'm sure your support means a lot to Faith.
I'd be doing some comment moderation here, so all this garbage doesn't get published unless you allow it.
You don't have to stand for this.
And yeah, what Trish said Why are they coming here if they don't like you or what you have to say?
Considering I don't fold jeans for a living and I've never threatened anyone with a Canadian family court lawyer, I'd say your comment is really irrelevant.
Good job staying neutral Switzerland!
That wasn't me, Trish. Faith can verify that. My IP puts me in MN, Faith. Can you please verify that it was NOT me that posted that when you get back from your meeting?
Ugh. This is sooo old FK.
I have no idea what FK is but I've dealt with my fair share of trolls. Does blogger offer a comment and/or IP ban? Use it. Or consider migrating to WordPress and using the ban option there. There's also a password protection option that you can use on singular posts.
But as with all trolls, if you don't feed them, they generally go away and try to cause shit elsewhere. All they're looking for is a reaction. Don't give them the satisfaction. It's rather obvious they aren't worthy of it.
Terri, I was referring to the lawyer comment from Kate. It'd be nice if you cleared up with 3.0 what happened with that situation, because what you did was hardly a Swiss thing to do.
Actually, *I* did not post that. Faith will be able to verify that. So you'll have to villify someone else.
This is what Faith asked for:
***
so here's all I ask: if you want to comment and tell me what you think of me, then go ahead. ...But get it out of your system, wherever it came from, and whatever it's about. If you want to, anyway.
***
And that's what I did--I wrote an honest post about how I feel, and I apologized for popping into the blog. So, as usual, mind your own business.
Congratulations on the new job!
Kate
One thing I will point out to EVERYONE bothering to read this is that Faith has NEVER made apologies for being open, honest and blunt. That rubs certain people the wrong way and she knows that.
On the second hand: a lot of people understand her BECAUSE they secretly or even not-so-secretly feel the same way she does, they come here to read because she is funny, well written and smart.
If you are not one of those people and you can't understand her or even just don't like her- why are you here outside of wanting to create drama in your boring life? It's pathetic.
I also would like to point out that most of our family is VERY private when it comes to our identity. It's how we were raised. To this day I am still unlisted in the phone book and use fake names alllll over the Internet. People know who Faith is, they know her real name, they know what she looks like, they may even know her real name, but here? On this blog and on others? She is KNOWN as Faith.
Again, the disrespect shown in regards to that is understood as those who don't get it are clearly asshats. It has never been a point of contention for anyone else.
People such as Kate are why I stopped using message boards all together (after being a message board junkie for YEARS) because even one person who is small, stupid and just plain doesn't get it can ruin the entire experience for everyone.
I did. A long time ago. I'm Switzerland now. Wasn't then. I was icky when I did that.
bless your hearts :-D
I appreciate that, Terri.
Kate, I'll take the congrats as that, and assume there's no snark in there.
I really just wanted this to get out in the open, and to ask why I suddenly became a target. If you guys are holding over some sort of negative emotions toward me from the GTG that happened in MAY, and we already had it all out since then on the board (this is all message board related, folks who were wondering), and decided that you wanted to attack me...again? For some reason? That is why I wrote this post. Get it out of your systems.
Kate/Grace, I never said anything to anyone's husband, so I'm not sure what you're refering to there. I also will remind you guys that I was in terrible head pain for pretty much the entire weekend I was in NH, and that didn't do much to help my personality. I made my apologies to Lala for hurting her feelings, and I thought I had to others as well, but maybe not? And the yeast infection, if you must know more details, is common in large breasted women. They are size DD. They sag. Even in a bra, after 8 hours, the heaviness of them causes skin on skin contact. It's just a red, swollen issue that makes things painful when it comes to the yeast infection. There isn't any discharge like there is in a yeast infection in your vagina. Maybe there is, in certain cases, but not in mine, anyway. It's just swollen and painful. And my fucking HEALTH has nothing to do with it. The main problem, actually, is that I went to the gym on Saturday, and failed to quickly remove my sports bra, if you must know. Not that you'd believe that, but it's the truth.
Terri, I did't realize you were the one posting from Minnesota. Why did you go Anonymous, all of a sudden? And get so...mean?
I am not always angry. I use the blog to sound off about shit. Like Dooce does, or like Airing of Grievances does (that's a whole pool of guys posting on that one about their anger with the world, so you could have a ball with them!), or like just a LOT of people do. It's not all puppy dogs and rainbows because that is BORING to read about. Sometimes, I do post about happy shit. But for the most part, I don't. Like Trish said, there's no reason for you to have to read it if you don't want to. I'm not tied to you in any way anymore, so you can move happily on with your lives now, and leave me alone. Which was WHY I left the fucking board in the first place! I knew I wasn't wanted! So I left! DUH!!!
**posted this in the other thread as well...**
You know what Kate? People *do* act annoying just to piss people off. It has nothing to do with someone acting self centered. As I pointed out more than once (as has Faith) this person was not doing it in GENERAL. He recognized it was upsetting Faith and continued acting that way JUST TO GET A RISE out of her.
How do I know this can happen? BECAUSE YOU ARE DOING IT HERE THE EXACT SAME WAY. You continue to post comments claiming this opinion or that on Faith and yet have the audacity to call HER self centered.
You are on HER blog talking about HER... YOU continue to be an idiot and finally fessed up to who you are and then had to apologize- yet continued to be an idiot.
One thing my Dad told me many years ago: when you make a mistake, apologize, say you'll never let it happen again, and move on.
However, you apologize and then continue forth with your spew. *golf clap* Brilliant.
What happened to my post? Faith - I have not EVER posted anonymous. It's NOT me. I'm (generally) not a mean person. Even the "mean" ones can attest to that. I think it even annoys them! ha!
I knew it had to be message boards. I just knew it. I've been a member of several, moderated or admined a few, and also co-owned one as well. Message boards inevitably bring out the dregs of society.
My advice to you Faith is to simply give up and block these people who continue to stoke the flames. They don't matter in the grand scheme of life. You have no obligation to justify yourself, your words, or your actions to a playground full of short-bus kids.
I didn't delete any comments in here, just FYI. I deleted a couple in the other post, because they referred to me by my real name. I left the one up that had an initial, because it's less offensive, and I didn't want to be seen as too...oh, I dunno. I left it up, is all. I just wish people would have respected my first request to refer to me as Faith, so I didn't have to delete any more comments. I don't LIKE deleting comments.
The IP address that was coming in and commenting in that nasty way was from MN, Terri. That's what I thought you meant. I thought it was Mac. I guess you were just reading the comments, and Kate must have been the one commenting anonymously. I'm sorry!
As someone who enjoys pushing Faith's buttons from time to time . . .
Good Lord, people, grow up. Think about what you're feeding within yourself, and the negativity you're spreading in the world. Why? If you really hurt Faith, would that make you feel better about something wrong in your own world?
Faith has removed herself from whatever situation may have sparked your nasty feelings. Let her be - move along.
Thank you Dan.
Oh, and Kate, even though you might be done reading this, just one more point/response to the underboob issue: I would visit a derm for the issue because it is on my SKIN in the area it's affecting. It's like a rash. Like athlete's foot. It's not the same as a vaginal yeast infection, you high and mighty dumbass. Nice apology, btw. You can stick your sorries in a SACK, though.
Wow. I started by posting one little thing about how ridiculous it was to get livid about an abnoxious person in a bar. Other (random) people also commented and I got my ass handed to me. Then, you go ahead and post about how horrible and mean FK is and how wretched we are for...*gasp*...reading your blog that you always posted about over there.
Guess what, some of us follow it. I've commented maybe twice on it, because it isn't that interesting usually. The amount of whining that went on about the dude in the bar and the boob infection prompted a comment. Will I probably stop reading this? No. Will I continue to comment? Maybe.
But, for the record, I thought you were a bitch at the G2G and I thought you made some extremely hurtful comments to people and you had a horrible attitude the entire time. You can blame it on your headache, but I do read your blog, and I've reached the conclusion that you must have a headache every.single.day.
Now, please go talk behind my back to someone's husband about how I'm the leader of a giant clique.
Wow, I thought I was having troll problems on my blog, with one anonymous commenter complaining about the subjects of some of my posts.
I found that if people read and comment on your blog solely for the purpose of denegrating you or your subject matter... it's easier just to block them.
Of course my troll made it easy. He had a static IP address.
I enjoy reading your blog Faith. Keep pounding the keys.
I sincerely do not understand the comments about me talking behind anyone's back about cliques. Wtf is that about? I was barely even acknowledged by any of the husbands at the GTG, much less have a conversation w/ them. So whatever that's all about, I'm at a loss.
Again, if y'all hate me so much, why the interest in reading here? (Even though I'm not "interesting"?)
This is my final invite for you to fuck right off. Because you're making no. sense. Buh-bye!
Now I'm confused. The only comment I saw about going to anything but a derm was Donna. But maybe I missed one that was deleted.
Fyi - Kate is not the only anonymous.
Did Margaret call me a pussy? Jeez, I'm the only one from "there" that's being nice!
Yeah, I think that's a line from a movie, terri. I can't remember exactly, so I'm not sure!
I can't remember if I said I would go to the dermatologist, or if donna recommended it. I think I mentioned it, though, because that's what my original plan was when the infection showed up. (Its doing much better today, after just 1 day of treatment, though. So, yay!)
Again, though, to krista and anyone else who still feels some level of hostility towards me for whatever I did (or did not do, but someone else said I did, apparently) I left the board because of your feelings towards me. After this point, I won't entertain a response to any further attacks from you. Its just not fair to chase me like that. And its on a maturity level I honestly didn't expect after my goodbye note.
Krista- while I can appreciate you thinking it is ridiculous to get 'irate' over someone, remarkably it isn't only Faith who has experienced such a reaction to someone- clearly a low life- chiding her.
Faith has never had a problem with people reading her blog. She has a problem with people (anyone) posting anonymously making douchey remarks and not being brave enough to post their name if they are gonna be a dick. Also, she has one small request: don't use her real name.
You can say all you want someone is acting irrationally by reacting to a jerk going overboard in any situation- I (and I am not alone obviously) think she had every right to react the way she did.
YOU don't like Faith so that automatically makes you have your bristles out for release when she posts something you think is ridiculous.
I have a suggestion- and many have made the same- that you stop reading the blog, dumbass.
One last thing: those of you discounting the level of pain Faith is in when she has one of the cluster headaches: FUCK OFF.
I don't give a shit WHAT your opinion is of Faith when she was going through what she was in MAY of this year (might I point out that was 6 fucking months ago!? You loons...) but if you didn't like her, don't like her and move on! I know for a fact what she was going through on that damned trip as she called me and texted me while she was in pain.
I'm happy all of you have never gone through pain while having to socialize (you join the ranks of my Remarkable Former Mother In Law who never felt anything apparently so she had no sensitivity towards others who might be feeling shitty) but some of us have while also dealing with a couple of you she didn't like (YES, I heard about you dicks, too) and maybe you should realize you belong in a special group of stuck up bitches that NO ONE likes and has to merely tolerate because they are forced to be around you...
I stand by my words. Underboob yeast is gross. And Pete Carroll is world famous for being a tit.
Also, Faith, maybe 3 years ago, you said something that offended me and I got upset about it. I'd like to choose now to pick a fight with you about it because I'm a useless shit with little else to do with my time. I'm a very small man and my pointed comments are my tiny fists. I'm quite absurd.
Maine- I, for one, remember this thing that was said and have never really gotten over it. Your reaction was uncalled for.
If and when I get the H1N1 flu I will make it a point to come and cough on you, dammit.
I also know that what is 'world famous' to someone living where you do. Part of it is exactly 403 1/4 people know what world means. The other 3/4 knows what famous means. They live in a tree and are nicknamed 'elves'.
Nice try, buddy.
Has no one thought to try an over the counter anti-fungal cream??
There are sooooo many reasons I'm glad I'm not a chick.
By the way, after reading these comments I'm pretty sure "FK" stands for "Female Kvetching"
Faith, I don't know what happened with these bitter people, but I told you that you should have skipped NH and came and hung out with me in Boston!!
I love your blog. Some of your posts are hysterical. Some are sad. Some are angry. That's REAL LIFE people!!
If you'd rather read a blog about a fantasy world where there are unicorns and the sky is pink, then don't read her posts.
That's why I read Faith's blog. Because it's REAL. It's things we all deal with in our lives, and Faith is the only one that has the balls to tell it like it is.
And if you have a beef with her? Freaking email her. Act like an adult and talk about it. Don't sit there and trash her on her own blog because you don't like her. Is this freaking high school?
Faith, I'd just ignore this crap. I enjoy reading your blog, and if you ever get to Boston, you got peeps here!
Oh, holy cow...I was staying out of these comments because I thought I was continuing to be attacked! I'm so glad I came in and read them. ::sigh:: You guys are so fucking awesome.
GB, I did get the anti-fungal cream...it's a generic CVS "athelete's foot cream" (no joke, that's what it says on the tube), because it was cheap, small, and I figured it'd do the job. Things are infinitely better today...they were already better yesterday, even with just one night of treatment! So yes...all's well in boobland again. (For now...)
Maine and Twin...bwahahahahahaha!
Emaw, indeed.
And Nora. ::shaking head:: You were so right, sista. Leo and I are looking at planning a trip to Boston next fall, because it's one of the places he's never been, and one of my fave places on the planet. We will DEFINITELY get together then.
Wait - they're awesome for name-calling and mocking but the THREE people from FK (yes, THREE. That's it) suck for answering you as to why they don't like you? Hypocrite much? And fwiw, I'm NOT defending anyone here. I just think it's ridiculous.
Faith, I'm disappointed. But I'll be moving on. Cheers.
Again, I was not the Grace/Kate. That was someone else. Check the IP address, if you wish. Or not. Makes no difference to me, except that Trish thought that *I* was making fun of her job at a clothing store, and I wanted to clear up that it wasn't me.
Kate
My friends, some I know in real life, and some I know through the blog, have come to express their opinions on this whole matter; I say thanks, and I'm being hypocritical? HOW?
I personally think you throw that word around a bit much, actually.
This is MY BLOG. My space for me to rant, rave, and attack back at the assholes who attack me first. The way Kate and Krista "spoke" to me in their comments pissed people off, and rightly so. Lots of my readers have known me for WAAAY longer than I've known any of you guys, and they "get" me, and they like me, and they had something to say about it. How you don't get that is beyond me, because I take you for being much smarter than that, Terri.
YOU are disappointed in ME? Laughable. Fucking retardedly LAUGHABLE. First of all, stop talking to me like you're my goddammed mother because you're NOT. Your opinion means little to me at this point, thanks to your choice in friends, and the way you turncoat so fucking easily, it makes my head spin. (Yesterday, you were telling everyone they needed to stop being so immature, and today, you're joining the attack? Huh???) I certainly hope that when you said you'll be moving on, you mean you won't be coming in and reading anymore. Because I can't imagine you'd find anything interesting enough for you to pay attention to here, right? Fuck you very much.
I'm trying to understand the logic of Faith.
I read your blog and comment. Then you get pissy and defensive that I don't think the sun shines out of your ass because you were pissed that there was an asshole at a bar. Then, you start calling out random people and saying that they hate you because they comment on your blog (isn't that what the comment feature is for)?!?!?!? (Still trying to understand where Pricey made the list...that is another discussion all together)
So, then you ask us to tell it like it is. I tell you how I really feel and you get even more pissed because I am answering your plea?
Is there no way to please you?
On another note...no one FORCED you to come hang out in May. Instead, you felt the need to text your sister and tell her how we were dicks. So, why did you hang around? I mean, besides to have something to bitch about on your blog, why would you travel in order to hang out with people you don't like? I was under the assumption that when you're taking a personal trip to hang out with friends, you generally WANT to spend time with them and acctually like them. That is how friendship works (at least in my twisted world it does).
Please, call your sister and your blogger friends to come berate me and try to talk down to me because CLEARLY they are much more mature, educated, and worldly than I will ever be *pats them on the back*
Peace my dear. I hope someday you will find a way to be happy.
Krista: I was aware of how Kate in particular didn't like Faith BEFORE the trip happened.
Add to that the mess of the car situation and the lack of feelings for people who were uncomfortable yet were dragged along to places even though they had disclosed they were uncomfortable?
Yeah. I don't need 2+2 written in front of me to know it equals 4.
Faith WANTED to believe some people were going to be different in person than they are on the board. I've been in that same position myself- in fact, I was the one some people were 'worried' about meeting and then told they were pleasantly surprised to see who I was off the board.
To put it as plainly as any one of you can grasp: you are very wrong about Faith. She has made a great point in saying a lot of us here have known her MUCH longer than any of you have. God forbid she try to branch out and meet people outside of her norm.
Turns out it wasn't the best idea. Your points and comments are proof to that.
Faith, you got on a plane and spent good money to meet people like this? I don't blame you for feeling like you do. But have faith (sorry for the bad pun) not everyone is shallow, self-important and catty like these women are. They are showing who they are by continuing to post and be nasty, and you don't need those kind of people in your life. You are much better off.
To be fair, Nora, I am being nasty as well- but I have a right. I shared a womb with Faith. They attack her they attack me too!
My claws are out and I won't lay off as long as they keep up this "Faith is such a big bad guy" campaign.
Hopefully they'll go away as suggested more than once and we can all go back to appreciating someone for their funny, sarcastic, creative writing. Until then? I'll bicth slap these asshats as often as they allow me...
Ok, I thought I closed comments, but somehow it didn't save. Oh well.
Krista, the funny thing is, I didn't think anything about you at all! Ha!
NOW, I have a totally different opinion of you, but at the time, I was most worried about Dani, Kate, and Lissy. All for good reason, I'd say.
One good thing did come of the meetup. I was able to see a lot of true colors in people there. Although I didn't really see some people's until after I got home, but yeah, at least I found out how everyone truly felt about me.
I was excited about the GTG prior to going. I was looking forward to meeting people, and proving some perceptions wrong, and getting to know everyone better, and then I was struck with the Three Day Long Headache From Hell. (Which Jillian was the only one who seemed to understand and respect. The rest of you didn't give two shits, so thanks for that.) And I listened to people openly complain over, and over, and OVER about their distaste for the Canadians. And I was privvy to a truth or dare session, which...really? Are we 12? FFS. It was a shitty time. But it wasn't like I could pull out my crystal ball and see that comin'!
I don't have any reason to have to prove my happiness to any of you, but I can say that if you all go the fuck away, and forget you ever met me (which is what I'm trying to do with you!), then things will be INFINITELY better 'round these parts.
FUCK. OFF.
Just one more response to your point about my blog post being an apparent open invitation to attack me further for shit that happened months ago: I don't know if you have a reading comprehension issue, krista, but I never said I wasn't going to respond openly and honestly in return to the shit you all decided to hand me. Not sure where you read the part about me lying down and taking it without response. Der.
Girl, this is YOUR BLOG. If you want to talk about how to yank off Bozo the Clown, it's YOUR right.
I think of blogging as an online diary. Something to go to and release all of the thoughts in your head - it can be quite cathartic.
Please keep up the humor and don't let these fucktwits get in the way.
Cheers from Jeff City,
Jen
Wow, you're freaking VENOMOUS. I did tell them they were being immature. I actually accused them of being Stefi-ish. They didn't care, because they despise you that much.
But you've made it clear how you feel, and that you judge me by my friends (who play truth or dare and know how to loosen up a little and enjoy life) so take care. Or don't. I don't give a shit.
Truth or Dare?
Did I get transported back to middle school? Please tell me that leg warmers and Aqua Net are not back in, because I don't know if I can live through that again!
Nora, you're good to go. Well, except for the leg-warmers part! I'm pretty sure they sell them at Urban Outfitters right now. Although hopefully they aren't seen much outside of college dorms, and cozy living rooms across the world. :)
And Terri, damn-straight I judge you that way. But moreso for your inability to find your OWN balls to grab onto. It's just sad. Buh-bye! ::waves::
Oh, and let me reassure you that being despised by girls like that? Not such a problem for me. Fucking idiots...
Um, I'd like to respectfully request that you do not talk about Bozo the Clown on your blog. No disrespect to Jenni--it's just that clowns are kinda scary. :-)
WTF! They didn't like Canadians?
I like Canadians. Some of my best friends are Canadians. :-P
