Further to my last about the BL fiasco...

I have since found out by...alternative means*...exactly why I was given the boot from BL. It seems the Mods there did not appreciate my efforts to get something done about that one particular person, one 'lisagurl', who is able to do anything and everything she wants in terms of caustic and damaging commentry without any fear of reprisal. When she pissed off one too many of the people I cared about there, I pressured the Mod staff to deal with it. They did...by giving me the boot. OK, so that's all fine and dandy, I can live with that. What was unacceptable to me was losing Mod status at another site that I had been taking part in. That was just too much for me, so I've decided that these online support groups are more damaging as a whole than they are helpful. Besides, I'm completed transition, aren't I? I guess trying to pass on my experience to those that follow was a really crappy idea from the get-go.

So what am I still ticked at? Lessee...I'm ticked that three years at BL obviously meant squat to the other people there, those that I considered family. I've heard little if anything in the way of support by the people I thought were friends there for sticking my neck out to try and do something about a real problem on that site. I'm ticked that, for standing up to bullying and refusing to just 'get over it', I am now considered too 'reckless' to help run another site.

So I'm moving on. I ran my first triathlon in five years yesterday, and, although I was able to finish OK, I found that I am sorely out of shape. So this is where I'll be concentrating my efforts. Anyone wants to find me, I'll be on the Tri-forums as my usual 'RadarGrrl'.

*Alternative means, in this case, is going fishing on BL sticking an anonymous post in the public area to see if anything turns up. It did.
