Diana Rowland — Writing, Life, and the Stuff in between

So true. What is it they say? Life is not a good bet–no chance of getting out alive.

I’ve decided to close down Rhubarb because of memo/Meredith trashing my journal.
Meet me at the following url: www.journalscape.com/tryon/
Tryon is an old family name (starting from the governor of North Carolina)
Would appreciate a comment just to boost my morale.

I sent an email to my mom about the memo/meredith thing, and I’m really wondering just what moving your journal is going to accomplish if this is a real person. Won’t they just follow you there? Have you tried contacting the journalscape admin people and asking them to block this person’s IP address from comments? And if it is just a bot, then they need to know so that they can block it.

I’m going to see. The sysadmin thinks that it is an autobot and that if I move to another URL and do not refer to it, nor put in my email address, I may slide under the radar. Then in a few months, try posting to rhubarb again and see what happens.

I know it’s superstition on my part, but the “death” and “die” messages really bothered me. Call me a prostitute, who cares? Anybody who knows me would roll around on the floor laughing at that. But wish me dead? We’re all subject to that, sooner or later, and having a curse against me (as it felt) really bothered me. And here I thought I was a sensible, rational woman!

But then when he/she/it posted 20, 30 junk comments–that did it. Thanks for your comments and suggestions.
