[identity profile] grygon.livejournal.com posting in [community profile] artists_beware
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.

That may be, but your reaction was even more trollish.
Calling someone a C***? (Hello misogynist slurs!)
Threatening to punch them if you ever saw them? (Hello threats of physical violence!)

What were you *thinking*?
If you want to show yourself the "better party", you wouldn't sink to below the other person's level.

Yeah, I saw that in your edit, and in the comments as well (Just got back here from dinner).
From her comments in your screenies, and the way she acted here just now with the insults, it has cemented my feelings. Not professional in the least, definitely a beware. Thank you for the warning.

Reply to my own comment here. Looks like Skullgrrl deleted her comment (the one I replied to).

In case anyone is wondering, here is the text from HER comment, copy-pasted from the LJ notification in my email box.

"you are encouraging a troll. She has nothing else but the internet, and
making other people miserable. You haven't had dealings with her so you
aren't aware of how bad it is..also, I own the group I bitched about her
in. my group which she was unceremoniously dumped from months ago. She
can't use a private forum publicly."

Sexist slurs.

Misogyny means a hatred of women, and that is usually not the reason behind posting it. Not that it makes it right.

Yes, I know what misogyny means. I chose that word purposefully. To me, for someone to resort to that slur, that DOES imply a hatred of women or at the very least, disrespect of that gender. I'd prefer not to discuss it further, thank you.

I'm going to go ahead and freeze this here, just to be on the safe side.
