Obsidian

I knew the Stupid Site Awards were going to piss off their recipients, but I didn't know it would get this ugly.

The recipient of my sixth award said the following things:

Okay....we had a visitor today. His name is David and he goes by the name Obsidian. You can check out the kind of guy he is by logging on to his website www.obsidianmirror.com
He specializes in pointing out the flaws of others, making fun of them, and belittling them just so you won't notice his flaws. He loves to attack women...women that he is emasculated by...like.....oh say...like ME!! (I am Makani and Aquila on his website)...but....he keeps it under the guise of 'fluff-bunny', and since he doesn't hit Ana (or Q as his SO is sometimes goes by), then he's an great guy....quite a woman-lover in fact. And Ana, a woman who adores men who call her a cunt and a whore, just as by way of saying 'Hi' , who loves to trash women who are empowering themselves (I think this is because she has no idea how it is done and is frustrated) has no problem in aiding David's trashing of women.

Anyhoo.....I expect that since David is totally in awe of my 'superwomanlywitchypowers' he is prolly gonna show up again...or get others to...or get Ana to show up...or get Kristin to show up...or who ever....so whatever....had nothing to fear from you before and have nothing to fear from you now....

Just so everyone here knows....he is banned and, while I will not banned any of his girlfriend's, provided they keep within the rules of THIS game, I will ban them if their sole interest in join this forum is to trash me or any other woman here.

Grow up or go away

I now return you to your regularly scheduled program
Laurie
Makani
AND
Aquila

And as if that wasn't enough, she followed it by saying:

oh...to save you the trouble of going to his site... this is what he has to say about his visit here....He is quite deluded as it was always my forum...he just helped me with admin duties....and it was his privledges that were revoked....he wasn't banned...but it SOUNDS better to lie and say he was banned ;) ....

[quoted Stupid Site award]

like I said ...grow up or move on asshole ....

Now, did anyone other than me actually laugh at this? I found this to be quite hilarious, and I encourage everyone doubly to go to her site and see how else you can piss her off. Email me her responses and I'll post them here for everyone to laugh at.

See, the reason I'm doing this is to prove a point here that I don't believe has been addressed:

There is a problem in the Wiccan™ community known as fundamentalism — yes, the same problem all those nasty evil Christians have *rolls eyes* — where you believe you're right and everyone else is wrong. Aquila is one of these people. I don't blame her for it; she lives right in the middle of the I-5 corridor and is just as generically liberal as the generic conservatives that live on the Eastern Seaboard. You can't blame someone for wanting to fit in, as the need to belong is critical for social function and as such is a natural human instinct.

I have been accused of being fundamentalist on this site, because when I think somebody is wrong, I tell them. I've been accused of being hateful, because some of the language I use is sarcastic, venomous and profane.

That being said, you will not find me bashing somebody (or even lower, their girlfriend) because I disagree with them and my story doesn't click with theirs. Why? Because that is stupid: I know I'm not the smartest person out there. I know I don't have all the answers. I know I'm only a human being, and a young one at that. I know I'm not 100% right, and I know what I say is going to have flaws. I'm only human, you know. Despite my apparently negative outlook and misanthropic dialogue, I still believe in the goodness of humanity and I still recognise the ultimate goodness in each person. I still believe that, deep down inside, every single one of us (with exceptions, of course) wants to better ourselves, our world, and our kinship with the Gods we worship. This is why I built this website: that I may help someone cross that ever-important bridge from their own stupidity and arrogance into the light of intelligent and sensible thinking. Of course, I have to do it in a crass and violent way because the most stupid of us refuse to be tapped lightly on the shoulder. But it's tough love, folks. I love humanity; if I didn't, I don't think I'd hate what we do so much.

Now that I'm done being all sappy and almost fluffy, it's time to address Aquila's claims:

1. Yes, I have been banned. Thank you for fulfilling my prophecy.
2. Anyone who really knows me or has any shred of intelligence knows that, judging from this site alone, I do not "trash women". Those who know me really well (Aquila included, sadly) know I actually have defended women from misogynists in the past. I don't trash women — I trash feminism, because while its intentions are good, its actions as an entity are barely falling short of deplorable. But that's a whole other rant altogether.
3. Anyone who really knows my fiancée (Q) or has any shred of intelligence knows that, judging from this site alone, she is a very respectable person.
4. To Aquila directly: I know you're smarter than this. Come up with better insults.

One more thing Aquila posted on her forum:

I guess it doesn't make me any better than that asshole...but this was a rant and I'm tired of people who can't look into the mirror and see their own shit...who constantly have to look at all their problems as being someone else'e fault.....'let's slam everyone else cuz I can't be better than they are, so if I slam them, then people are laughing at them and not laughing at me'....sorry...left that concept behind in grade school... ;)

Interesting choice of language there, don't you think? :)

(Oh yes. I slammed her first, by giving her the Stupid Site award, so by retaliating so cruelly, she's adopting the very tactic she claims to have abandoned in grammar school...hehe! Three cheers for hypocrisy!)

So that's that. I probably shouldn't have given this any attention whatsoever, but resolution through confrontation is my style. It will be quite amusing if she turns this into an all-out Witch War, although that would be very silly of her indeed to do. I'll leave you to judge me, my character and my site. Don't take it from me, and most certainly don't take it from this douchebag either. Read my site thoroughly, and use the intelligence and common sense you were given to make your own judgments for yourself. Better yet, use them all the time, to prevent bursting out in a foolish spew of hatred like Aquila did just then. Then maybe — just maybe — you'll inspire someone else to have faith in humanity. And when you do that, we all win.
