Eve, I’m sorry. I brought KellyM here and she outed herself in the name of fighting ignorance and it has meant that you get bombarded with more ignorance more often than you would have ever had to deal with otherwise.
From the first post of yours that I read, you were one of my very favorite posters. Knowledgeable and witty dispelling ignorance and spinning vivid images of whatever you were writing about. You struck me not only as a strong woman, but also a lady. I honestly don’t understand how anyone can ever see anything otherwise. I think that those claiming too must have their eyes, minds, and hearts shut.
I always pictured you in pearls, a single strand. I was delighted when I saw your picture and surpassingly pleased that you were wearing pearls, and even more when you revealed that you knew not to wear an even number of strands. You are beautiful now, but damn were you hot in your youth.
I search out your posts, not easy since you have a short name, and feel like I have found a treasure when I read a new one. I don’t always get your flybys, but I have learned to recognise them and more than once I they have prompted me to find out just what the hell you were talking about, resulting in less ignorance for me and a laugh too most of the time. I am also glad that you led me to see Guy Visser and all those other films.
I feel sorry that what I have done has brought out the rude and mean spirited who just don’t get it. I’m sorry that people are treating you as a case in point rather than a human being. I am sorry that there never seems to be a break from it either.
Count me in as another Eve admirer. She’s one of those people to whom you pay a little more attention to when they speak. I hope I’ve not bumblingly offended you with tactlessness at any point (a fairly good possibility). Rest assured, I will continue to bask in your wisdom, as long as you keep showering us with it.
For goodness sake, you and KellyM have nothing to apologize for. I was foolish and very naive to have let my real name be known; it was only a matter of time till someone outed me, and when they did, I felt it was my duty to discuss the topic.
But I am tired of being the Town Mrs. Madrigal and having to argue the same arguments over and over and over again with all-new idiots. You young 'uns have more energy; I’m at the age where it doesn’t much matter if you’re a man or a woman anymore, anyway.
I have enough tsouris in my life. I come to the Boards for amusement and relaxation between crises, and all I want now is to find a Board where Nobody Knows My Name and I can just be some anonymous dame who posts wisecracks every so often.
I can understand your frustration, but I wish you would try to stay anyway. There are others who can speak up on that particular subject, and you add so much here in so many other ways.
I don’t have a working concept of “lady” outside of the House of Lords venue, but Eve you’re one hell of a cool doper. C’mon, Theda Bara, stick with the show!
Eve dear, I have a confession to make: you are my second favorite doper (the first been my real-life friend). I am pregnant now and I wanted my first child to be called Eva, in no small measure because maybe I thought the grace and smart would somehow rub off on my child. Unfortunately my husband vetoed the name, on the grounds of him having had a girlfriend called Eva (Now if you would please join me in wishing death on that other Eva for, well, for been called Eva :))
Even if I can’t name my child Eva I will always hold you in the highest regard. I have never met anyone like you in real life, I don’t even want to meet you in real life, I’d be too scared of been deemed “not worthy” as I, even though I don’t mix patterns, am not anywhere near your league.
This is not cheap butt-kissing Eve (well, it cost me 14.95), I am seriously a big fan of yours and my life would be poorer without your wisdom. Don’t let anyone bring you down, you are just way above all that.
If you leave I will go on a hunger strike… not now, maybe after I finish breastfeeding.
Eve is also one of my favorite posters, I just love how she writes and what she writes about. I respect you Eve, and also consider you the definition of the word lady. I have learned from your previous posts. I undetstand you may be put in a position to explain some things to new posters. But honestly, I don’t think you have to do that at all. Just keep being you, lovely Eve. I think you’ve done much time fighting the fight, now it’s time you just be yourself.
Let me also say, I’m “outta the loop” so I have no idea why this issue has come up.
But, I also, will continue to wear navy with tan/cream colors. If this is one fight you would like to continue, please enlighten me and others why, dear god why is this so wrong when it feels so right? What am I supposed to be wearing with my navy pants? Pink?
