Did a little friends list trimming. Just a few people ... trust me, it wasn't you. :)

And I can't talk about this now. I'm too sick to rant. I'll do it in a day or so, when I can sneeze without destroying major pieces of architecture.

I'll tell you what I said in her LJ regarding it potentially making LJDrama or one of the other mockfests:

But why shouldn't she [be ripped to shreds]? I was hurt by someone who I knew online and offline who exaggerated a problem he had. He used his problem to get attention from me and as a result, manipulated my emotions. That's never cool.

Perhaps if Thalia were to see the results of her actions and the effects on other people and the derision it creates, it would help her not ever do it again?

Thalia, I don't know what made you decide to do this, but I do hope that you get help.

My status on the whole situation is, it's good that she came forward and admitted she lied, and I do hope she gets help.

But I can't in good conscience keep her on my friends list. If there's one thing I don't tolerate, it's bullshit.

I remember someone on my friendslist linking to her journal a while ago and saying, This poor girl is being bullied and harassed - she's so nice and doesn't deserve it, please give her your support. I don't think she realised that people's emotions don't just turn off when their computer does. Most people have separate emotional reactions for characters (in books, TV or online RPs) and real people. To them, she was real, and they worried.

I didn't know her well, but I'm with [livejournal.com profile] salix_03 on the general issue - it must be nice to have such an abuse-free life that you can make a huge joke out of it like this and not have to live it when you log off LJ. I know she has problems, but that's just sick. You don't joke about things like that - it trivialises the whole issue. She can't expect people to be sympathetic and forgiving about whatever pathological lying problem she has if she shows no respect at all for victims of real abuse.

God, I'm glad I didn't know her that well. I'm worked up enough about this when she's a virtual stranger. -_-;;;

Hear hear. It's your list; you get to do with it whatever you want.

Especially since it's now coming out that the only reason she confessed was that she was about to be unmasked anyway. She was caught and she knew it, so she played the only card she had left, and beat her skeptics to the punch, unmasking herself and apologizing before they could.

::Sigh:: Well, you've seen how I feel about the whole mess from my LJ posts, I'm sure.
