Dear Curtis:

Well, I have been out of commission the last couple of days and I apologize.  
There was a major breach of my security system and I took a few major hits to 
my personhood. My bliss bubble was infiltrated; my emotions cried out in 
outrage.  The Others tucked me in to a comfortable bed in ICU and put me on 
life support.  They applied a special salve flown in on a helicopter birdie, 
rehydrated me, and I have now been transferred to the Recovery Unit, where I am 
lying here sipping on a 7-up and eating a fruit bowl, contemplating the 
enormity of my intelligence.  Not just a "run-of-the-mill" intelligence, mind 
you, but a vast and devious intelligence worthy of a great ______ like myself 
(what's the word for it? I'm sure it will come to me if I think long enough.)  

So, not to waste time with all this personal drama, take my hand and let us 
travel to the land of the FFL Games.    

you have so "outed" me.  Here I am trying to get packed, trying to clean 
house....I am completely distracted.  So, hell wit' it, I simply must fulfill 
my responsibility as  I've been working on that one...is it "dimbo"?  Is it 
"troll?" (I still don't think I have a large enough understanding of what that 
means, but I *am* kinda slow in certain ways).  Is it "pot-stirrer," with no 
regard to anyone's mental health here? Is it "passive-agressive 
extraordinaire"?  Is it something more sinister?  



Now, while I almost never go point to point with anyone, because I'm format 
challenged (don't believe that, it's a special-ops tactic that I use - check 
with Sal, she knows me better than anyone), in your honor, I will try.  I have 
inserted my comments below:

Emily being quoted from her post:

"I sent your email to Curtis and Judy, because it freaked me out and those were 
the only two people at the time that I could remember that knew you in some 
fashion from FFL and whose emails were listed here.  I was looking for 
perspective on that email because it was *so* angry.  I apologize to Judy and 
Curtis for forwarding bad energy.  It won't happen again." 

So let's see how Judy can spin this into troll bait.  Listen up all you 
apprentice trolls. mama troll is gunna reveal the formula.

Emily:  God bless it, Curtis...did she reveal it?  The secret formula - please 
give me your opinion on what it is.  Clearly you know it.  I am but a student, 
a simple woman trying to live up to the intelligent forward-ass plotter that 
you seem to think I am - I'm all strategy Curtis.

You mean the chick you usually refer to as Stupid Sal and who is obviously on 
the "other team".  Yeah, she know.

Emily:  The "other team"?  What other team?  Curtis, in my illusion of the 
love-fest that I translate FFL as, I simply deny that these teams exist.  Hence 
my constant irritation at Barry for "listing" me.  I can't even keep track of 
which list I'm on...is it the "right" one or the "wrong" one this week.  Am I a 
Pip or a Pipette?  It's all so confusing.  I pride myself on being a pretty 
straight shooter.  I throw myself out here and try to stay honest and maintain 
integrity.  You (and Sal) are bursting my bubble, and it is a painful 
experience, I admit.  

Emily explained
> why she sent it to Curtis and me (see below). Curtis is
> calling Emily a liar.

See the move?  Because Emily doesn't specifically mention all possible reasons 
for sending it to Judy, anyone who speculates about her reasons is calling her 
a liar!  So first she got me to write by calling me a liar, and now she is 
hoping to get everyone going including Emily, who has escaped this nut house 
with this troll move by claiming I was calling her a liar.

Emily:  Did I call you a liar?  I'm soooo passive aggressive, aren't I?  Oh, 
wait, that sounds directly aggressive.  When oh when did I call you a liar? You 
have every right to speculate on the reasons I sent that gem from Sal to you.  
Why believe what I told you was the reason - the same reason I posted here as a 
matter of fact.  I am honored by how devious you think I am.  My brain cells 
are firing at top speed; I planned this.  I actually thought to myself - I am 
going to set up Judy and Curtis both.  I will play one against the other. I 
will revel in their exchange.  After all, I need something to entertain me 
while I pack.  

So let me be clear now that Judy has tried to play this creepy game.

Emily IMO likes stirring the pot here and watching what happens.  She did it 
often and well.  She is a student of the personal dynamics here and I seriously 
doubt she would object to this characterization of her. When she included Judy 
she knew exactly what the Judy package comes with.  I believe that she hoped 
for a little Judy/Sal smackdown in return for Sal's critical email.  And NO she 
didn't say this herself, but that doesn't mean that the reason she gave isn't 
also true.  It just may not be the complete list of motivations for why she 
chose YOU.

Alright, I will give you half a point on this one.  I mean with all these 
ego-strokes, how can I not feel complemented?  My subconscious is running the 
show; I have no control over my motivations.  Considering that I mentioned I 
had almost no idea who Sal was - you bet, why take anything I said at face 
value Curtis.  Let's attribute motive.  A "smackdown" - God, I should so get a 
life, huh?  I can't even do my own dirty work - well, it sounds like Sal thinks 
I can - I have to exercise my powers (I've been taking lessons from the Others) 
and incite Judy to help give Sal perspective - all while asking that the email 
in question "please not be posted" in respect to the private intent of it (no 
matter how off-track) and my suspect philosophy of always giving someone the 
benefit of the doubt the first time (In fact, I'm so lazy on this point, I've 
really gotten suckered a few times in the past - don't tell anyone though), 
smart, strategic, Mother Hen
that I am.

So if you can't make a case for it, just repeat it again and again. Right out 
of the troll playbook.

Judy speaking on my behalf and saying exactly the opposite of what I actually 
DID say about the email.  I wonder what they call this...

My focus is on your trollery through your false accusations.

Actually Sal thought it was just fine, so you have two on two, nice try.

Emily may or may not respect me but I know one thing for sure.  I am not exempt 
from her desire to have us entertain her, and she is not against stirring the 
pot when it suits her. I welcomed her wry wit even when I was on the receiving 
end it.  This whole event doesn't change my view of her at all.

And of course your behavior through all this is what I expected Judy.
