    Wocky actually kinda helped me for a bit through my tough time back in 2015. I...reached out to him for some reason or other. He had some great insightful things to say to me. He's a dork, like me, but I really think he means well sometimes.

    I was pretty certain that everyone was just trolling/needling him, and didn't actually mean any of the things they were saying.

    Now, with a much more widespread response, I'm not so sure.

    Time will tell. Regardless, people feel how they feel. These are important issues and I'm happy that the community tries to be thoughtful. Every sincere thought is one worth valuing. I especially appreciate the kind words you two have offered just now as well.

    As I said, I like Wocky. But his treatment of Rachel is baffling to me, coming from an otherwise good guy. It's disappointing, that's all.

    at least one of us is.


    but i am really humbled and grateful to all the rest of you. things have been truly difficult for me this year, and my sense of identity washed away until there was...nothing there. it became a hole of despair, lacking definition. i've been fighting like hell to regain that certainty of self (as well as being assertive enough to fight for it when things like this happen) and as of late, i've been succeeding. this support from all of you... i don't know how to describe the sense of security it gives me. and i know this support isn't just for me, so i hope whoever else needs that security feels it too. because it makes all the difference in the world.

    Jabba-wocky

    I think it's remarkable that you haven't once addressed hudzu by name. In fact, you seem to be going out of your way not to do so, since the closest you've gotten is "that individual" even after a star war called you on it. You even said "a private messaging system was utilized" instead of saying "I privately messaged her/hudzu" as most people would do.

    I can't speak for hudzu, but if someone's public apology to me didn't even acknowledge me, I would find it dehumanizing. You are probably doing your typical obfuscation, but this is a subject in which you want to be as clear as possible.

    I have no reservations about saying hudzu's name. I am also circumlocuting, as most everyone has noticed. This is being done directly out of deference to hudzu. I'm not trying to be opaque but a longer dissertation on my own conceptualization and approach seemed/seems beside the point. While that invites certain misunderstandings to the general reader, specific clarification to the relevant parties has previously been offered. What otherwise occurs is less important and this arguably allows for maintaining a more appropriate focus.

    I honestly do not feel that what you raise is the actual point of contention. In case it is, though: hudzu I regret not being conscientious enough to adjust my language earlier.

    As ever, please let me know if there's anything else you'd like me to address.

    Your besties got your back.
    I feared you might not want all this attention so it's good to know you experience it as support.

    No surprise that Jabba-wocky, first of his production line, is acting this way. Empathy is not in his DNA (Digital Nuance Architecture)

    But someone needs to update the tech so he can actually acknowledge hudzu is a human being.

    Wocky doesn't call people by their real names. It's either your JCC name or the weird nickname he's come up with. He's never called me Sean despite repeatedly asking, and he'll never call anyone here by their real name.

    It took me a very long time to realize that AG Obama is Tracy (I think).

    That would be correct. And I'm cool with him calling me AG Obama. It will be great having the nickname as a memory of a great President as we are all dealing with the crash and burn and white supremacy of the next few years.

    It probably seemed like a good idea at time, a bit of a lark. Like voting for Trump in the primaries.

    Well, I cannot conceive how in this or any alternate reality voting from Trump could possibly be a good idea...
