I owe y'all an explanation.

[Ysobelle]

And I'm sorry to say I can't completely give one. Not here.

As many of you have no doubt noticed, PARF has taken over half of my property. No, I didn't approve this, and no, I'm not happy about it. Even better, they seem to be watching what I'm saying online. I wish I were joking about last that cos it sounds ridiculously overwrought and conspiracy-theorist, but I'm not.

What that means is you haven't seen me on site, and you haven't seem much of why here online. If you want to call me, or email me, please feel free. I could probably use the contact, as this is twenty years of my life gone sour, and I'm pretty upset about it.

Thanks for hopefully understanding.

Hon, I feel your pain. I just realized, in horror, that the Management of my Home Faire is lurking here too. Damn. A Wench can't get no peace.

[daBaroness]

I had to quit my show MentalPause a few years back because of things I posted here about the ownership and management. Yes, they're lurking and it's just fargin' stupid that renaissance big brother is watching. All I can say is, "really?!"

[Phoenix McHeit]

I'ma call you, babes. Just as soon as I manage a moment of free time myself.

[Lady Hefron]

Yso...I'm so sorry that these things are happening.

As far as faire management lurking on the wench boards, come on guys, don't you have anything better to do? Seriously, get a hobby.

[Lady Sarah]

We're surprised that faire managements are lurking? Really? When we live in an age when our business owners/managers can find out what you say in Twitter/Facebook/LiveJournal/anywhere on the net, and use it against you, we're surprised that the owners of a business are lurking here?

Nikki, I'm sorry this has happened to you. I'll email you in a little bit.

Privacy was knifed in the back during the McCarthy Era and died shortly after. Everything since has just been improvements on how "they" can find out more about "you." What truly surprises me is that the concept of each person being a complex being with opinions seems to escape so many in a position of authority or, at least, management.

[Phoenix McHeit]

I dunno it's so much a matter of privacy, as it is owning one's own opinions. Some management can't handle dissent of any stripe. But that's hardly the fault of the person doing the dissenting.

I won't say anything on a board that I wouldn't say in-person, so it's a moot point for me as to who might be reading.

[Ysobelle]

It wasn't anything I said here. It was a reply comment to some one else I made on my Facebook page that I was frustrated I couldn't get a return phone call from the vendor coordinator. That was all. On my tightly friends-locked page, I should add, not my MayFaire Moon page.

And if you're gonna call, you'll have to wait a bit. On top of everything else, I've now lost my voice. I've been stressed out of my mind for so long about this, getting sick was inevitable. Joy!

[AnnaFaerie]

I'm sorry to hear that things aren't what they should be for you. My thoughts are with you.
