@_journaling_ @misskeelahrose @MichaelLSwift1 @PoemsbyCheyenne I WAS going to include screenshots of the discussion I had with Keelah, so there could no doubt as to who was telling the truth and who was not, and maybe I will someday, when I don't have to worry about the slimy games Twitter will play.

@_journaling_ @misskeelahrose @MichaelLSwift1 @PoemsbyCheyenne One of their latest, as Rita Panahi learned the hard way when she got locked out of her account for this, is to declare such screenshots to be "private information."

It's been a godsend for the trolls, and I doubt that's an accident.

@_journaling_ @misskeelahrose @MichaelLSwift1 @PoemsbyCheyenne This is a variant on the infamous old "rule" against the re-posting of private email, which was established by the trolls for one reason and one alone.

So they could send abusive email with impunity. Twitter has decided to return us to those bad old days.

@_journaling_ @misskeelahrose @MichaelLSwift1 @PoemsbyCheyenne Not really a surprise, I suppose, given that this is the company famous for the warm welcome it gave to the Nazis. But I'll reply, anyway.

^ This comment, first.

@_journaling_ @misskeelahrose @MichaelLSwift1 @PoemsbyCheyenne "He refused to engage in dialogue with me as well because he spied on Cheyenne with some other account after blocking her and saw that I liked tweets that were 'attacking' him."

That's not exactly what happened, now is it, Keelah?

@_journaling_ @misskeelahrose @MichaelLSwift1 @PoemsbyCheyenne Let's get past the question of just how much nerve it takes to post BS about the very discussion that you're posting the BS in.

@_journaling_ @misskeelahrose @MichaelLSwift1 @PoemsbyCheyenne Or, for that matter, of where anybody could sincerely get the idea that Ms. Bramwell's right to privacy was violated because when she decided to rumor at my expense, I found out about that and posted a rebuttal.

@_journaling_ @misskeelahrose @MichaelLSwift1 @PoemsbyCheyenne How entitled does somebody have to be to think she'd have the right to post an attack against somebody else IN PUBLIC and not be found out and contradicted by her target?

Nah, let's move on, at least for now, and get to the heart of this.

@_journaling_ @misskeelahrose @MichaelLSwift1 @PoemsbyCheyenne Keelah, at a time when I was already thinking of blocking you, and probably already should have, you sent me a PM in just the sweetest tone, asking me if it would be OK for us to talk. Acting like you were my best friend in the whole world, and you were just there to help.

@_journaling_ @misskeelahrose @MichaelLSwift1 @PoemsbyCheyenne You claimed that you had no idea of what was going on, at a time when you had already liked a number of tweets in this discussion, in which I was being personally attacked.

@_journaling_ @misskeelahrose @MichaelLSwift1 @PoemsbyCheyenne You told me that you felt responsible for whatever was going wrong, even as you were cheerleading for the attacks, elsewhere.

That's called "being two-faced" and it's not OK.

@_journaling_ @misskeelahrose @MichaelLSwift1 @PoemsbyCheyenne You asked me why I was angry with Cheyenne. I answered, seeing if you'd ever get around to being at all honest or forthcoming about the role you had already played in a discussion you pretended to know nothing about.

@_journaling_ @misskeelahrose @MichaelLSwift1 @PoemsbyCheyenne You asked me what I wanted from her. I answered honestly - something like having her apologize for the outrageous s.hit she just tried to pull, and then for her to never darken my day with her presence again.

@_journaling_ @misskeelahrose @MichaelLSwift1 @PoemsbyCheyenne You asked me why I was so angry with her. I told you that I had just told you that, which I had. I went on to mention that I was aware of your presence in this discussion.

The one you were pretending to know nothing about.

@_journaling_ @misskeelahrose @MichaelLSwift1 @PoemsbyCheyenne Some people, when confronted with the evidence that they have lied, at least have the decency to feel embarrassed, but not you, Keelah.

You flew into a narcissistic rage.

@_journaling_ @misskeelahrose @MichaelLSwift1 @PoemsbyCheyenne And as is so often the case on Twitter, Narcissism is what I find myself having to deal with. To anybody who was wonder why you would sink this low, this tweet

https://twitter.com/PoemsbyCheyenne/status/1145395846248194049

and its reply

https://twitter.com/misskeelahrose/status/1145503377654026240

tell the whole story.

@_journaling_ @misskeelahrose @MichaelLSwift1 @PoemsbyCheyenne I had been nice to you, far nicer than you deserved as we can all see at this point, but I had never crossed the line into actually kissing your backside.

Cheyenne, however, made a habit of giving you your narcissistic fix. There's your motive. Your own overinflated ego.

@_journaling_ @misskeelahrose @MichaelLSwift1 @PoemsbyCheyenne You tried to manipulate me into confessing to have done something that anybody, just by following the links I've already posted, can see that I did not do.

@_journaling_ @misskeelahrose @MichaelLSwift1 @PoemsbyCheyenne Short form, Keelah: You showed that having a straightforward conversation with you was going to be an impossibility, so I ended the discussion.

@_journaling_ @misskeelahrose @MichaelLSwift1 @PoemsbyCheyenne If I answer a question, and then you go on pretending that I didn't, how do we have a conversation? How does one have a dialog with somebody who lies that effortlessly?

@_journaling_ @misskeelahrose @MichaelLSwift1 @PoemsbyCheyenne "He's a thin-skinned crybaby accusing other people of being snowflakes."

Look who's talking. The woman who responded to my refusal to fall for her BS first with a ranting personal attack, and then by going into a public forum where she lied about what had just happened.

@_journaling_ @misskeelahrose @MichaelLSwift1 @PoemsbyCheyenne It take a special kind of snowflake to get angry because somebody didn't fall for a lie.

As for my allegedly being "thin-skinned" and being a "crybaby," where is your sense of shame.

@_journaling_ @misskeelahrose @MichaelLSwift1 @PoemsbyCheyenne Yeah, I know. I'm asking about the sense of shame of a "comedian" who did a bit about her ability to get six year old boys to get into bed with her by telling them the chocolate milk came out of her ...

I don't even want to finish that. I saw the video. It was disgusting.

@_journaling_ @misskeelahrose @MichaelLSwift1 @PoemsbyCheyenne But, let's pretend for a second that you're a real human being with a conscience, even though you obviously are not.

How do you manage to pretend that what took place in this discussion was anywhere in the vicinity of being OK?

@_journaling_ @misskeelahrose @MichaelLSwift1 @PoemsbyCheyenne Some people responded to the mere fact that Cheyenne was throwing a temper tantrum about the fact that I had posted a piece of fiction without her approval by trying to get me thrown off of Twitter.

Those were the moderates in this discussion.

@_journaling_ @misskeelahrose @MichaelLSwift1 @PoemsbyCheyenne Then there were the people who wanted the police to get called. When we get right down to it, Keelah, how much of a difference is there between that and an attempted swatting?

Carried out, because I posted a piece of fiction, as a piece of fiction.

@_journaling_ @misskeelahrose @MichaelLSwift1 @PoemsbyCheyenne But you? You were the most sociopathic of all.

YOU tried to play with my head, and get me to falsely confess to sending a death threat, when in fact I had sent no such threat.

@_journaling_ @misskeelahrose @MichaelLSwift1 @PoemsbyCheyenne None of this was ever going to work.

The claim that a satirical piece of horror fiction was really, secretly a coded death threat was too crazy, even for Twitter. Twitter never contacted me about those ludicrous complaints.

A month and a half later, I doubt they ever will.

@_journaling_ @misskeelahrose @MichaelLSwift1 @PoemsbyCheyenne The Chicago police did not storm my apartment because I was guilty of writing politically incorrect fiction. Nor would they have, ever.

That would have been the first amendment case of the century. It was never going to happen.

@_journaling_ @misskeelahrose @MichaelLSwift1 @PoemsbyCheyenne Nor was there any chance that you were going to succeed in your efforts to manipulate me into confessing to something I did not do. My head has never been that soft.

But the fact remains that you did try to do that.

@_journaling_ @misskeelahrose @MichaelLSwift1 @PoemsbyCheyenne The poorly thought out nature of an evil act can make it pathetic, but it can't wipe away the evil nature of the act. Even in the absence of sound judgement, the vileness of the intent behind the act remains.

@_journaling_ @misskeelahrose @MichaelLSwift1 @PoemsbyCheyenne Yes, I can get laughter in the real world, telling this story about the crazy people I met on Twitter who tried to get me sent to prison (or otherwise dealt with by the police) because I wrote a piece of fiction.

@_journaling_ @misskeelahrose @MichaelLSwift1 @PoemsbyCheyenne The stupidity of the act in question can be amusing, but that was still a twisted thing for those guys to do.

It was not OK, under any civilized standard, and I had every right in the world to object. To scream, to fly into a rage - and the thing is, I didn't.

@_journaling_ @misskeelahrose @MichaelLSwift1 @PoemsbyCheyenne Unlike you, I stayed calm through our discussion. The most you got out of me was a thoroughly "go f uck yourself" after you went on an abusive ranting jag, and I was laughing at you as I posted that.

@_journaling_ @misskeelahrose @MichaelLSwift1 @PoemsbyCheyenne As for the trolling / white knighting / whatever this lunacy was in this discussion, you guys got a documented, point by point debunking of the false claims you made and the absurd spin you tried to put on what had happened.

@_journaling_ @misskeelahrose @MichaelLSwift1 @PoemsbyCheyenne If I weren't so thin skinned, I'd have let your friends win the argument and gone along with any BS you posted, Keelah? Are you really narcissistic enough to believe that?

@_journaling_ @misskeelahrose @MichaelLSwift1 @PoemsbyCheyenne "Hideous hypocrite who won't talk"

That word seems to be in fashion among trolls and SJWs, these days, probably because they've heard it applied to themselves so often, and usually with good reason.

@_journaling_ @misskeelahrose @MichaelLSwift1 @PoemsbyCheyenne How was I being "hypocritical"? You don't have an answer to that because, of course, I wasn't. You're just going to throw some mud and hope it will stick.

@_journaling_ @misskeelahrose @MichaelLSwift1 @PoemsbyCheyenne I have noticed the willingness of spoiled brats like yourself to use the word "hypocrite" whenever somebody refuses to do as they ask, but as that overused Inigo Montoya meme reminds us, that word does not mean what you think it means. 🙄

@_journaling_ @misskeelahrose @MichaelLSwift1 @PoemsbyCheyenne Yes, I'm refusing to talk to you, not because I'm a "hypocrite" (to return to your random accusation), but because you're a worthless human being.

Not to mention a hack writer. Go away, Keelah. We're done.
