Since I’m in a cranky-assed mood, I thought I’d complain about other people being jerks. Ha! I think I’ve mentioned a certain bad-tempered, kinda crazy, artsy-craftsy person before, but perhaps not. I know I’ve boggled at her behavior in other venues, and, if you have been involved in just about any artsy-craftsy Yahoo group, you probably have run across her. Maybe you’re even a fan? If so, you have my condolences!
Anyway, I’ve belonged to various Yahoo groups run by her, and others that she was a heavy participator in. I ended up quitting all of them, because of how she treated people. I do sometimes read her blog, though, and when I do, I am always amazed at how nasty she is to her “fans” and customers. Maybe they don’t realize it, because they don’t read her blog? I dunno, but I’d feel really crummy if I found out that someone I admired and had been supportive of was, at best, resentful of me. I get the impression that she views her adoring fans as leeches. O ick.
Yaknow, I’m nowhere near her league, and I don’t really want to be. But, I do get regular e-mail from folks who have questions. Some of them are really silly questions. That’s okay. Lord knows, I’ve asked my own fair share of stupid
questions! I also don’t think that anything I do is particularly original, much less proprietary, so if someone asks me where I got something or how I made something, I’m happy to share. It’s not like I invented the wheel or anything.
I don’t know why this person irritates me so much (well, yes I do, but that’s a whole ‘nother kettle of fishes) or why I bother to read her blog. I shouldn’t, because whenever I do, it makes me cringe.
