feel the ban

spankerellaI was voted WLS's author of the month for January... a promising start to the new year. Whoever decided to vote for me... thank you.
So I'm sitting here eating the number one gross-out to others that I eat... yogurt and granola... mixed. Just some nonfat lemon yogurt with granola in it in a bowl. I've been told it looks suspiciously like chunky puke. It's tasty though. I like yogurt. I like lemons. I love lemons. I could just peal a lemon and eat it like an orange. I'm very citrus. I like grapefruits too. And limes. I think diet Coke with lime is the greatest invention Coke has ever had. I like lemon in my tea as opposed to sugar. But that's not the point of this post. Sorry for the tangent.
I actually banned someone at Cauldron Chronicles. I might have been wrong to act so hasty, but she definitely broke one of Jasper's big no-nos. She spammed. But I was kinda feeling bad about it. So I was gonna ask J if I could, you know, give her another chance. Just put her on moderated posting or something. I'm a big believer in second chances.... being a big believer in imperfection and the serious lack of actual perfection in the world. Then the ban-ee mailed me... arguing about it, and being sorta tacky. AND... typing in netspeak. *eye twitch* But I held it together. I replied, stating why I had banned her, carboned Jasper, and said that I would let the listmum decide her fate. Sorry to pawn it off on you, J, but I wasn't about to start the new year by having a hissy fit over some little assclown who can't be bothered to read the VERY ACCESSABLE list rules at cc.
It just irritated me. And she tried to use the "I didn't know" defense. I'm sorry. I know J. She rarely accepts excuses, and she sure doesn't ever take that one. Then little miss sent me a second mail arguing that the post was not spam. Sorry. It was. It was an online petition that had nothing to do with HP or HP fanfic. Then she demanded for me to prove I had never been off topic before. I never said I hadn't been. But I sure don't go posting OT petitions to a list run by Jasper without asking permission... which she didn't. I checked THAT out before I banned her. What an asshat. It was made all the more annoying by the fact that both her mails were in netspeak. I despise people who type like that. I *DESPISE* it!
On another note... I sang last night. Like for real. Belted even. You guys know I never sing. Karaoke. And if I had been seriously drinking, or if they'd had any Ramones songs on the playlist, it could have been WAY more disasterously embarrassing. I am so not comfortable with the sound of my own voice.
