Update: skullgrrl

[grygon.livejournal.com]

I had hoped that this next weekend I would post a "resolved" post but when I got home from my aunt's funeral tonight I found this message in my inbox:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/29033586@N08/6110810725/sizes/o/in/photostream/

She refers to a bad-dealings thread on taxidermy.net where the only new message I had posted in reply since posting here and getting to see this dispute nearly resolved was a link to her artists-beware post, pointing out how she had reacted to it. That was going to be my last post concerning her, plus the resolution post when I did get my plush. It seems the post was removed, and I have a few PMs on those forums urging me to post my warning again as my own warning, and not Bob's (I had only been replying to his post about his bad dealings with her to share my own).

Then I found this beauty:
(eta: gender slurs and threats of physical violence in link)
http://www.flickr.com/photos/29033586@N08/6116827145/sizes/o/in/photostream/
the top thread is from her fanpage on facebook and the very bottom of that image is from taxidermy.net. At the top she mentions giving me a day or so, and in her facebook PM the only thing she asks for is me removing my posts.

The images explain themselves, I think, but as I suspect from my first post on her:
http://artists-beware.livejournal.com/502139.html
her local fans are up in arms.

I am unsure what to do at this point. Thoughts?


ETA: Rereading that thread, I do want to clarify the "stay at home artist with no kids" comment that gets mentioned about the other forum as it seems to be lost on some critics: I meant that she was just a stay at home artist, and could not use kids as a valid reason for not working as that would be an understandable reason to me.

ETA2: Re: "wasn't allowed in skullgrrl's group" message below (frozen by mods, due to insults), I was a member and left of my own freewill for personal reasons and then got harassed for it:

ETA3: so after being temp-banned here for her behavior, she posts this:
http://furhideandbone.livejournal.com/1270163.html
She makes some untrue statements in the comments as well as the main post, though that should be obvious to everyone by now. If there is a comment or statement she made that you want my side to just let me know. She does mention that I apologized to her here in the comments for some reason but I did not do that, at all, as can be seen.

ETA4: she deleted that post on furhideandbone. It got to around 40 comments (that I have saved via email if they're needed for whatever reason), mostly of people telling her to cool off. She deleted it and reposted this:
http://furhideandbone.livejournal.com/1270627.html
So here is a screen cap of the "witch hunt" she deleted from there:

ETA5: I'm in the coffee shop now with nyaro and have picked up the plushie. Plushie-wise, this issue is resolved now. I'm in love all over again, it's like when I first got Babette who is my favorite ever.

Good idea. And done.

And speaking of in RL I will have a friend (or more) with me when I pick up the doll just in case. I don't think she'd resort to violence (or ask her friends to), but as I have learned working with violent kids- you always take that stuff seriously, cause sometimes it does happen and the law isn't always as clear-cut as one hopes it is (yes, work has taught me many a frightening lesson).

[breakspire.livejournal.com]

you should just pay to have it shipped

[cesarin.livejournal.com]

she could scalate it further by keeping that money and sending something useless or broken.. ( Ie to prove she sent it.. and then blame it on the dude)
some people have done it in the past.

[frequentlynyaro.livejournal.com]

Why would I do that? I don't hate Grygon or want her hurt. I'm annoyed at what's been going on, but Darien told me to be the middle-man, and Grygon asked me to do the same. Even if Darien asked me to harm the things I was giving to Grygon or not give them to her (which she HASN'T) I would never do that. Besides thinking her Simba is really cool, I'm not the type of person who would do that. Ever.

Also, I imagine I'd be paying for it, since I don't know how Grygon would get the money to me if she's not willing to see me in person. I guess she could mail it, but I'd probably already have sent her stuff by the time I got it if that were the case.

[cesarin.livejournal.com]

Are you skullgrrl?
I mean skullgrrrl..
no idea you were going to be a middleman anyway..

[grygon.livejournal.com]

That is H_E_ from the 2nd link, the one with the pony in her icon.

[frequentlynyaro.livejournal.com]

Seriously? You think I would hurt you when you pick up Simba? Forget it. Gimme your address and I'll ship your stuff to you. I thought my work would work (haha), but if you're so paranoid you think I'd go awol in my own place of employment, sending your stuff to you would probably save you from a nervous breakdown.

[frequentlynyaro.livejournal.com]

And I mean no disrespect. I'm just really surprised that you think I'd even be willing to hurt you if she asked me to (which she hasn't...at all). And if you really ARE worried, it probably would be for the best to just send it to you after all.

[cesarin.livejournal.com]

just wondering.. WHO are you?

[frequentlynyaro.livejournal.com]

I live in the same city as Grygon and know her and her sister (admittedly, I know her sister better than I do Grygon, but I have still visited with her on several occasions). I am also a customer and friend of Darien's and I am a part of the group on facebook.

Darien and Grygon both agreed on me being the middleman. I will make sure the trade goes through properly and without any problems.

I am really only posting because of the mentions that we might hurt her or her items when she picks them up, as the pick-up time and location are only between me and her. I would never injure her or allow her to be injured, and trashing her items would be completely childish.

[cesarin.livejournal.com]

I suppose skullgrll is "darien"?

and I didnt read in time, the fact you were gonna be the middleman to get the things.... I imagined that skullgurl would trash the products when shipping them due of her anger issues.

[frequentlynyaro.livejournal.com]

Yes.

And no, that won't happen.

[grygon.livejournal.com]

I never said such a thing, don't put words in my mouth. And my nerves are fine, thanks.

[skanrashke.livejournal.com]

You showing up at her house is asking for trouble.
You should pay to ship it.

[grygon.livejournal.com]

Her house was new a consideration. We're meeting at a public place.

[skanrashke.livejournal.com]

If you don't mind a scene, I guess that works.
Still should ship it.

[grygon.livejournal.com]

No scene. But much oohing and aahing over the new shiney plush I now have. It was tense, I won't lie- it says a lot in people's faces and stances, but it was a good few minutes.

[frequentlynyaro.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it worked out well, in spite of both of our misgivings. lol

I really like your little Simba. He's a cutie. As silly as it is, I was kinda worried you might not like him after all this stuff went down, so I was really happy when it became apparent that you were enamored. :)

(And to be clear to anyone who is confused, I'm not Skullgrrl. I was just the sitter/in-between person for the trade, but I do have four Snuff Stuffies myself and I became fond of Simba from having him in my care for awhile. ^^)

[grygon.livejournal.com]

I'm just sorry it ended like this, though I am glad it brought forth some things to light that I was unaware of until now. Puts future conventions that I may or may not attend in town in different perspective I guess.
