Update: skullgrrl

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 is a loaded question.

[bubonicapple.livejournal.com]

is it? i don't see how.

i was referring to skullgrrl's terrible response to all this and the explosion upthread, and the carrying it over to furhideandbone.

[grygon.livejournal.com]

Well, then I guess it's self explanatory. If totally long, which is what I mean by loaded... like, where do I start?

[bubonicapple.livejournal.com]

i received some pretty aggressive messages/comments from skullgrrl and a friend of hers due to my comment in the furhideandbone thread. i'm not interested in picking sides on a personal level, but on a professional level, i'm pretty gobsmacked about this whole thing.

[grygon.livejournal.com]

I bet I can guess the user name of the friend, but I won't post it here.

Truth told, I am pretty astonished at the level of unprofessionalism (that just keeps going and going and going) as well.

[xylophagous.livejournal.com]

Really? That's insane, you weren't even rude. I commented too, so far I just had replies from skullgrrl (that really had nothing to do with my advice??) so hopefully they bother me any more than that. Grabbed a screenshot with comments of the tab I had open though.

[bubonicapple.livejournal.com]

her comment to me was pretty rude and insulting; i wasn't going to bother responding back to it anyway when i realized she'd deleted the initial post. i would've thought the best course of action would be to make a post here with her side of the story; she's just made herself like worse with the way she's reacted. at this point i think everyone has heard enough.

[bubonicapple.livejournal.com]

and to add: her response to me really didn't have anything to do with anything i said, either. just total venom all over the place.

(omfg your icon is adorbs)

[xylophagous.livejournal.com]

Yeah every comment towards her was pretty neutral and trying to give her advice, I didn't see anyone being jerks but she was immediately up in arms to everyone :/ mostly saying no one wanted to hear her side but so far she hasn't presented it and is instead trying to gather everyone else's stories about Grygon? WHO KNOWS.

(and thank you, its my shiba dog by http://bansei.livejournal.com/ )

[bubonicapple.livejournal.com]

she's deleting comments on her new entry; i screencapped the first exchange before she cleared it out. she was extremely rude. i have no idea what she is even doing anymore tbh. i'll upload the cap i have if it's needed.

i was actually just thinking that, too - i also have no idea what her side of the story even is.

(aaa aaa aaaaaaaaa that icon too!!)

[xylophagous.livejournal.com]

Yeah I got the first two comments saved as well. She really could've made herself look better if she just told her side in a calm manner, I think it's a little too late now. Her side of the story would be nice to hear but at this point I think everyone has seen her attitude about the whole ordeal.

[frazzled-niya.livejournal.com]

problem is she probably will never have a straight head to be able to tell her side of the story :\...All the comments in here she's eitehr deleted or mods have screen because they are just...well yeah (pbreaking the rules) :(

[bubonicapple.livejournal.com]

i saw the majority of the comments before they were deleted and 'toxic' is putting it mildly. tbh i'm still pretty amazed at the comment she left to me over in fhb (probably evident by the way i keep referencing it), so at this point, i'd be open to seeing her side of the story, but i'm not willing to change my stance on dealing with her professionally.

[frazzled-niya.livejournal.com]

Oh even with what she's done I'd still want to hear her side of the story, provided that she can do it with a cool head and not insult anyone.
