A Note About The Ozalots

[Kristin]

1. They don't have any clue about anything that goes on with me and the photos. So lets just leave it that way.

2. While I truly appreciate any defense of me there, I've done some rotten things there, some of which I am not proud of, so I'm not really defendable in any sense. Everyone here who knows me even remotely knows I'm a nice person (albeit with an occasionally mean streak, has to do with being bullied most of my life, actually) and mean no real harm. I've conradicted myself and gone back on my word many times, but that's a fault with me. I don't want anybody getting associated with me in that sense. It's not fair to you, and the Ozalots won't get it and just think you're a jerk, like they think I am.

3. I have no idea why Nancy had to go and put my name in a post where she didn't have to. Since I had that little spat with her a few months ago, she's posted stuff I've posted to Media Blvd. and I've not said a word. One time, I played a little game using movie quotes over there to just point out that she'd done it, but I was just screwing around. It was all in fun. So, from my point of view, she knew it would piss me off if she said that I might get mad that she posted it. She was baiting me and she knows it. Never mind, I apologized to Nancy and she was extremely nice.

4. I have NO problem with Ozalots being here. The more the merrier, I say. I know some of you post there, and that's fine. Heck, I still post photos there. However, if it makes you uncomfortable, you can always leave this forum. But I will never make anyone here feel like they shouldn't be here because they post to that message board. If you're worried that registering gives me some kind of access to you, don't. I don't know anything about anybody who is registered here that I didn't know before. Nothing happens after you register either; you just get to see the rest of the posts on this forum, including the photos, videos and whatnot. (I really have to update more) Everyone is welcome, as long as they follow the one rule, no snagging anything from this place without permission. It's a private forum. I've said all along, all you have to do is let me know you're posting it somewhere else. In fact, you don't have to ask every time. Once is fine. You don't even have to give credit, I'd actually prefer that you don't. That's why Joan and Becca know they can do whatever they want with the photos, because they've taken five seconds to let me know.

5. I banned Valene and LadyLogan because they lied to me or did the one thing I asked them not to do. There's nothing wrong with taking action on my message board when somebody breaks the rules. I think that is well within my rights as the moderator. The thing is, I would be willing to let them back in here, but neither one of them has ever said a word to me that was apologetic or even kind. Whatever.

Anyway, that's all I wanted to say.


By the way, this is a public post. So any response to it, it should be kept in mind that anybody can read it.

Public response.

It takes effort to buy a magazine, scan a picture and post it on a message board. When it's something like the Vanity Fair picture, I very much appreciate it. Copying a scanned photo and reposting to another forum accompanied by a snide remark about the person who scanned the photo is a clear breach of etiquette.

At the same time, I can understand why people would feel nervous about reposting pictures originally posted by Kristin. I know that I think twice about this, even though I'm pretty sure that unless it was something special, she would be fine with it. It would still be a breach of trust.

That's just it, the snide remark was uncalled for. A simple, Kristin posted this over at MB would have done nicely. It's common courtesy to give credit to the orginal poster but without childish comments.

The difference being you know why I act the way I do about the photos; they do not, so they don't understand it, and see me as being possessive over them, as if they're mine. Except I've never said they were. I've said "photos I post" or something like that, but have never, ever claimed them to be mine. Because they're not.

I have no problem with photos I've posted being posted in other places, with the exception of my scans (which forget about it, they're all over the place) and my stage door photos, which actually ARE mine. But because of the circumstances, I'd just like to be notified that they're being posted, that's all.

I don't care about the credit even. I don't see why she couldn't have just posted it without saying anything. The fact that she had to be snarky just makes her look petty, not me. I never said "Oh, this is MY scan, don't post it". I wouldn't have posted it there if I really cared. Not only that, I knew SHE was going to do it, so I watermarked it.

It's a new game...see if you can find Kristin's happy little watermark.

The snide remark by Nancy was totally uncalled for, but also typical of her, IMO. And then one of her clique felt it necessary to pontificate (as usual) in support of her. Also typical.

Kristin, you're very nice to continue to post photos at the red place. You're a better person than I, because I'd have said "screw 'em" a long time ago!

(And despite your pointing out that most of the photographs are the property of the copyright holder, some of the fuckwits will still claim that as long as it's on the internet, THEY can do whatever they want with them.)

I should probably stop posting anything there, because it's clear they all think I'm a jerk, so why should I try not to be? It's pointless.

Yes Kristin, you need to stop posting there. You only provoke them. Their response is predictable and expected. And frankly, I understand it in one respect. Most of us have long since abandoned the site for a variety of reasons and other's have come to live in the shell. They're protective of their turf and will not turn a blind eye to interlopers whom they see as just agitators. I know I wouldn't appreciate troll-like visitors here or on JT. Never mind that you feel like you have only the best intentions- they will not be received that way.
