As I'm just ready to go to bed, I check px one more time. Even after the horrid news from yesterday, today was no better as out of nowhere, multiple posts spring up insulting me yet again - and I can't even fathom why. It got so bad that the owner of the site actually put up a poll to discuss whether or not he should remove the TALK feature entirely. I've feel crappy much of the night because how wrong all this hate is and how much it really hurts to keep being the subject of such hostility and attack. So I check the site before I call it a night and found something to make me smile.

How the FUCK can ANYONE place blame on Miss M. Turner unless they stood behind her and physically watched her delete posts? Who the HELL does ANYONE think they are to blame her for bringing malice into a site which she is such a big part of?

The only people bringing malice here are the people who come here to cruelly attack others, insult their interests, and point fingers… and of ALL the places on the internet but HERE.. the site about speading joy and love to others.

You people should be ASHAMED of yourself. In a world filled with hate an darkness, our little home on the web to bring sunshine to someones cloudy day is now MARRED because of you SELFISH and CHILDISH imbeciles.

There is NOTHING stopping you from leaving here. NOTHING. Take your hatefulness and your spite and go ELSEWHERE. And leave Miss M. the HELL alone.

To the person who wrote so bluntly this support, thank you. I was truly touched. Several people - friends I've made through the site - have emailed me this evening just to tell me that they are sorry for this wickness and to remind me they don't believe for an instant any of it.

And some others have posted similar thoughts as well on the site...

I don’t some of the above people understand! Miss M. Turner is not a bad person or a hurtful influence on this website. Someone has been using her name to send and do nasty things. She has always been an amazing contribution to this site, and I always get happy when I get mail from her. You’re all wrong to think such negative things of her. Anyone else who has ever recieved something special from Miss M. Turner should stand up for her too. -miss tina

You’re a great gal and I love getting mail from you. Smile. Don’t let the punks get to you.

From what I’ve seen from Miss M. Turner on this site, I think she’s a great person and does not deserve unprovoked attacks.—Anna Banana

I also got a half dozen comments in the px LJ after announcing the hate mail fraud issue there. All of it has helped me overcome these pointless attacks and made me realize that the site and it's people are more then these jerks. That, now more then ever we need to reclaim the site from them and send even more joy out. In the end, I really do believe that there are more good people then bad and that together, we are so much greater then their petty hatred could ever be. Seeing that first post I quoted though just really brought it home for me. Just cinched the understanding that they can yell and rant and be hateful all they want, but we will still be positive role models and that we will walk the world aware.

So thank you mby anon uplifter. You've brought me a sense of solace in admist a whirlwind of sorrow.
