I’m sure by now you have all become familiar with the brouhaha that has taken place around here the past few days.
It was a shining example of how a small misinterpretation can lead to a misunderstanding which leads to accusations, insults, hackles being raised, Jester getting defensive, and lots of people throwing their quarters into the swear jar.
And ultimately, realizations, apologies, and reconciliations.
For the record, I hold a great respect for Lisa and the strength and courage she has exhibited during her struggles with Cancer and the associated woes.
Despite my best efforts to keep my response to her post written in anger from seeming to be a personal attack upon her, many commenters took it as exactly that.
A few people took my post as a license to speculate about the reality of Lisa’s illness or to lob insults at her.
For my role in providing that opportunity, I apologize.
Occasionally it’s necessary for a festering wound to be drained before healing can occur. It is my hope that the infection has been cleansed and everyone will allow Lisa to focus her energies on herself, her family and friends, and the things that bring her joy during the difficult times ahead.
Lisa and I have had the opportunity to speak, and as far as I am concerned the matter is closed, forgiven, and forgotten.
Many of us showed our asses this week, I think it’s time we pull our pants up and get back to poking fun at people who really deserve it: Republicans, Nascar Fans, Fundamentalists, Crazy Co-Worker…
and Karl.
That guy has it coming!
Why, what on Earth did I do to you?
Karls last blog post..A Study In Karl
Karl – Are you suggesting that you have no attributes or quirks we can poke fun of? Wish you were here, man… Wait… you are!
Love you.
And love that you both did it on your OWN terms.
And that Karl? Where should we start…

thank you for writing this; it brings quite a refreshing feel to the whole situation; more lightness. i know this is what Lisa needs and i know you probably need it too, and want it on her behalf. i like how it’s become about the real issue at hand: how you two really actually like each other and want the best for one another, period. everything else really is just flotsam.
and for the record, i’ve always liked the both of you, and you for your sense of humor and forthrightness.
peace,

I only somewhat know what went on. But I’m so done with drama, haha. Glad things worked out. ^__^
Motleys last blog post..Interview: Justin Emord
My man Jester:
I leave for a few weeks and you guys (gals if you prefer–don’t want to offend) can’t get alone! I see you have been getting your butt kicked all over the place. Singapore was great Jester! Man, you ought to go there if you haven’t been. It is the most cleanliest place I have ever seen in terms of Countries.
You should know that even in Singapore I was the Thing! As I can see, the only reason why you’ve been getting beaten up is that you need to beome “The Thing” in all of the drama.
I’m sorry to hear about your friend, Lisa. Cancer is not good at all, but in some cases it is beatable. I think that Lisa should look to God and begin praying for His divine intervention. Yes, the Bible says we’re all going to die, but you don’t have to die without peace of mind and peace of heart! That is why I’ve placed my faith in Jesus Christ for salvation. I pray that Lisa does the same. I’m sure our girl Miss Britt will agree with this sentiment.
The Doctor!
