  • mtngirlsouth - really?!?!

    What a great laugh for a Monday.  Remember how on AUGUST 3 I posted a weblog entry titled "bitch blocked me", about mtngirlsouth and her underhandedness?  Remember now, she made a response to me in her comments and then proceeded to block me so I couldn't respond.  My blog about her blocking me was simply a copy and paste of her comment and my response to it.  The only thing in that blog I wrote that could be construed as "hateful" was the title where I called her a bitch, which was written in the heat of the moment because this is hardly the first time she's pulled shit like this and I was sick of it.  

    So I do that blog and respond to a few comments on my own blog - mind you all the while I've been blocked from mtngirlsouth's blog and I did NOT block her from my blog - why would I?  I have nothing to hide, I stand by my statements.  So about a week later I do one of my routine posts about an upcoming party - 99% of my blog is just boring crap about what's going on in my personal life.  I had my say on the issue and as far as I'm concerned it's over and done with - move on.  Then today (17 DAYS AFTER THE FACT) I find out mtngirlsouth has done a blog post about me.  I guess her and her bully-buddy who plans to travel the country physically assaulting others for saying bad things on the Interwebz considered my previous entry a "hate blog" dedicated to mtngirlsouth.  It was a response blog, learn the fucking difference.  So yeah, I managed to get a copy and paste of her blog entry about me which starts off with:

    "A while back, I had a confrontation with a blogger on here whose xanga name is Melissa___Dawn. You can read the entire confrontation on this blog (LINK) starting here (LINK). I just *blocked her because she completely ignored what I was actually saying. Anyway, in that exchange, I did say to her, "....Which makes me think that what you really do want is to have the authority to throw us in jail, or an insane asylum. To make the Bible an illegal book...." (LINK)"

    She says she "just blocked her (me) because she completely ignored what I was actually saying."  I sincerely doubt that. If you read all the comments to her first link you will see that I and another person were consistently asking her to answer one specific question over and over again and SHE is the one who never answered the question.  Furthermore, I cleared it up in my own comments (LINK specific response to QuantumStorm is where it is) where I CLEARLY stated that after reviewing the whole thing over again I may have misunderstood a part of her argument.  She's trying to make me out to be a blatant liar when I took the high road all along and admitted there may have been a misunderstanding - of course, since she had me blocked I couldn't very well comment on her site about that, but then again I didn't block her and I know damn well she saw my comment.  

    The next part of her blog dedicated to me goes like this:

    "She went and wrote a whole blog about me which is titled "Bitch blocked me" and now she declares that I block people when I can't handle their arguments. In the comments, she says about me, "I also suspect the reason she went off the rails on my last comment, ranting about how I wanted to ban christianity and put christians in jail, was because she's just projecting what she'd like to do to homosexuals and atheists." 

    That was a comment I left on MY blog - definite proof she was over here reading my blog and my comments and saw all my responses, yet completely ignored where I admitted there may have been a misunderstanding.  Oh yeah, even though I admitted there may have been a misunderstanding I also pointed out that the misunderstanding didn't really make a difference on the point of her argument since separate but equal does NOT work.

    She does block people when she can't handle their arguments.  Well, first she just stops responding, hoping that ignoring her glaring mistakes will go unnoticed, then she blocks them.  I really would love to show you such blog posts of hers from the past, but apparently she was at least smart enough in JUST THE  LAST WEEK to go through and delete (or make private at least) TONS of entries from her blog.  Gee, I wonder why?!?  

    Moving right along here:  

    "Now, I ask you, how many homosexuals and atheists are being put in jail because of that? And then I would like you to go read the following two news articles about two men who WERE put in an insane asylum because of their beliefs. One has been released, the other, a veteran, (more of a threat) has NOT been.  

    Brandon Raub (the vet): http://libertycrier.com/u-s-constitution/its-official-facebook-is-the-department-of-precrime/

    -Here is an article he wrote: http://dont-tread-on.me/?p=8988

    Jason Ergoff: http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/48845"

    I'm not quite sure what she is really asking here?  Does she seriously think homosexuals have never been imprisoned in America for being homosexual?  Then explain to me why we ever had sodomy laws in the first place.  

    Furthermore, I really take issue with the 2 incidents she cited as an attempt to make it look like I support this kind of thing in any way.  None of us actually know what went on behind closed doors in these mental evaluations.  I read a very lengthy article about Jason Ergoff and the author repeatedly said he reviewed all the hospital records, but NOWHERE have I been able to find these documents - so this is all on the word of those in complete support of Jason Ergoff - who supposedly has the hospital records but has not made them available to anyone outside his circle of allies.  

    Furthermore, I don't trust the field of psychiatry either.  And it isn't used just to shut up fundamentalist Christians.  For example, when I was diagnosed with Juvenile Diabetes they immediately scheduled me for a one-on-one appointment with a diabetes educator who was supposed to explain my diagnosis, answer my questions and teach me about insulin injections, carb-counting, etc.  This appointment occurred less than one week after I had been told in my doctor's office by a nurse practitioner that I had Diabetes.  I knew very little about the disease except that I would have to inject myself with insulin forever and risked losing my limbs, going blind, and dying from kidney failure.  Needless to say I was in shock.  I went to that appointment and I was angry, scared and upset.  At one point in the appointment I started crying.  I felt like my life was over, like I would be dead in a matter of months.  I told the diabetes educator that I was afraid of needles and there was no way I could do daily multiple injections for the rest of my life, so therefore I was going to die.  She stated she needed to leave the room for a minute, proceeded to leave and called security.  She told security to watch me while she went and got a shrink.  She told the shrink that I was "threatening suicide" - based solely on my statement about not being able to do injections, therefore I'm going to die.  That was not a suicidal statement, that was a terrified "I'm going to die because I don't see how can I inject myself with insulin".  After a lengthy interview with the shrink, I was put on a 72-hour emergency hold based on 2 things; I was not a christian and I was a woman who had slept with more than 2 men.  The shrink was Christian, and as I came to find out later he also had a very hostile attitude toward women.  So they transferred me to the psych ward, this was late afternoon, and I was able to put in writing a request for release.  They told me there was no one available at that point to address my written request, but that another shrink would be in to see me in the morning.  The next morning the second shrink came in to see me.  He stated he read over the other shrink's report and he completely disagreed and was releasing me.  He did inform me that I most likely was suffering from PTSD from the shock of the diagnosis and that I may want to seek help in dealing with that and my diagnosis.  

    Psychiatry is NOT a science, it's a lot of guess-work and is biased in MANY different ways depending on the personal biases of the shrinks themselves, so it cuts both ways.  Don't believe me?  Do a Google search on "Christian psychiatrists" and you'll find lots of resources geared to matching your own delusion of God with some shrink with the same delusion so you won't be labeled "delusional" because of that belief.  That being said, it is still very likely that if you walk into that Christian shrink's office and declare that God/Jesus speaks directly to you and tells you to shoot people, you're going to get labeled delusional and locked up in a mental ward.  

    Then she says:  "You all can stick your damn heads in the sand and go on back to sleep and call me crazy all you like. I am not making this up, nor am I wishing this on those who disagree with me on religious issues. The facts are here, take it or leave it. You WILL care one day when they come for YOU though."  

    Which is followed by the famous quote: 

    "First they came for the socialists, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a socialist.

    Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist.

    Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew.

    Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak for me."

     

    - Martin Niemöller (1892–1984)

    First off, this is sooooooo off-topic of the original debate which was over marriage equality.  The only thing I can think of here is her constant whining that allowing homosexuals to "marry" is somehow taking away her rights - which is the original question I had been asking her over and over and she completely ignored; "name one specific right you will lose if homosexuals are allowed to marry."  It's a freaking ridiculous argument.  Christians aren't losing any rights whatsoever by allowing homosexuals the right to marry.  Furthermore, Christians haven't raised a stink at all about the fact that MANY atheists have been "married" through the years.  Christians never bothered to demand that atheists be given "civil unions" so they didn't "ruin the sanctity of marriage", nope, just the homosexuals.

    And for the record, they ARE coming for me, and I'm speaking out about it.  I'm an atheist, marginalized in society and closeted in certain areas of my life so I don't lose my job because I absolutely cannot afford to be without health insurance.  I'm bisexual, denied the civil right to marry another woman.  Let me ask you this, mtngirlsouth, when have YOU spoken up for the atheists, the gays, lesbians, bisexuals, transgender?  I see you stated that you would not wish the above situation on those who disagree with you, but that's not the same thing as SPEAKING UP for them now is it?  I don't think you fully understand that quote - try inserting "atheists" for "socialists" and "homosexuals" for "trade unionists" - get it yet?  

    I am DONE with this now.  I have now blocked mtngirlsouth, not because I disagree with her but because I am sick to death of her dishonesty.  To everyone else, feel free to leave any kind of comment you wish - I promise, unlike some of the so-called "loving christians" on Xanga, none of my big, burly friends will travel the country to hunt you down and physically assault you for being mean on the Interwebz - in fact my atheist friends find that idea quite repulsive.  Have a good night Xanga.

  • tried to follow your link to her page but I too have been blocked from her page lol

  • I hate xanga feuds.  Seriously, I feel like no one cares and I'm stuck in a web of frustration and anger.  Your experience with the mental health system sounds so scary.  I am very against psychiatry as well.  I work in the field and probably will continue to because I actually care about people and have potential to make a lot of money after I get my master's.  But the people who are corrupt are the ones with the highest degrees; it's like they have unlimited power.  They are not only doctors, but prison wardens who can lock up innocent civilians for free speech without due process.  It's sickening.

  • Mt GirlSouth does select reading and it is often too difficult to convince them with references from an "unapproved" source.

    Often some of the people will never answer certain questions and then explain it away that they had a bad day.
    Some of the xanga feuds consists of groups of xangians who agree with each other. I suppose you can try to work on certain members of the group and have some of them convinced to ask in a polite way.
    Basically the gay issue is sort of wrapped into the bisexuality issue and I suppose you would be the spokeswoman for that part of the issue. Is the issue changing? You bet and I hope it is not too big of a change, since too much change gets "push back".

  • @DrummingMediocrity - Don't get me wrong, I do believe psychiatry can be beneficial, it's just too easily used for corruption as well like you said.  

    @PPhilip - Select reading/unapproved sources, ignoring certain questions and then later claiming it was because she had a bad day, yet *never* getting around to answering the question, as well as to stop responding entirely when it's not going in her favor and then blocking people who disagree with her pretty much shows she is intellectually dishonest.  She keeps claiming honesty is the most important to her, yet she's one of the most dishonest people I've come across.  

  • Wow how did I miss this? You basically covered everything. She want's to eliminate LGBT rights then becomes paranoid and delusional of an ant-Christ conspiracy. She blocked you, me and a whole list of people because we can clearly show how she talks gibberish. I was originally blocked for proving mistakes in the bible.

    Did she really put her old posts on private??? WTF???  And what is this about her traveling the country beating up people up who disagree???

  • She is absolutely worthless. I wouldn't lose sleep over her bullshit. Basically in her view Christians are the only persecuted people in this world and blah blah blah. Cry me a river. Christians get special treatment in her country of residence. That's the fact of the matter. 

    God I hate persecution complexes.
