Ugh-i need to vent. I looked at every other board, but didnt see anything for venting.

So here i guess?

Ok, as some know, im a ballet dancer...and im a long term member on a website called dance.net. Similar to here, they have over 100,000 active members and is very international...but....

I just recently got temp banned for participating in a "flame war" This flame war was implimented by the web master. This new flame war was supposed to be different. (there have been others in the past) Wars of the past usually consist of: dancer123-"i flame so and so because their avatar sucks! hehe :P " (stupid right?) so they wanted a slightly more serious one this time around. So-getting in touch with the meanie from within i flamed this annoying woman who bugs the crap out of me. Like most -other- message boards, i did no holds back. The comment got removed saying "this wasnt in spirit of the flame war" ....wha? Ok fine. The night went on, other drama happened (that i got dragged into) where i should of held my tongue. I got banned. Fine, my fault. Im ok with dealing with the consequences of my actions.

Today as i was (...heh, reading this site...) i recieved several IMs about what people were saying about me in chat. Oh boy...the discoers are talking trash about me, oh well. Well-apparently not. People who have and still continue to 'be my friend' on the message boards and on aim were slamming me. This took me by total suprise. Where are peoples honor? I have never pretended to like someone, no matter how much they were "popular" or how much i feared them. Then talked bad about them when they were not around. I would like to think that i have thick enough skin to not be hurt by this, but i am. Its not their words that hurt, its their actions-or lack there of-for not telling me in a civil manner that they no longer care for me or my "antics". Im ok with that. I dont take it too personal, not everyone can be liked by everybody.

Ugh....like my friend Ian likes to say- dancers have teeny minds.

Why dont people have honor and moral standing anymore these days?

I really hope the kendo world isnt like this. Me getting kicked from my ballet company (spite the loss of money...though ballerinas get pain crap) is starting to look ever more wonderful everyday....
