Hello, this is the person who took your previous url. I would just like to say that I had no intention of being rude, or impersonating you, and looking back, I do wish I had asked you if it were okay for me to do this. However, I have seen a tremendous amount of anon hate and one message from freeloader or something like that, which means that I am no longer able to continue saving that url (I was planning on co running a Willas/Sansa blog)...
It does seem a bit of an overreaction, but one of the messages claimed that I was a "thieving talentless cunt', whereas another "a crazy psycho stalker". Having suffered from anxiety two years ago, this was deeply distressing and I nearly burst into tears in public. I apologise if I seem I am wallowing. Anyway, I am just writing to tell you that I am deleting the blog. I can no longer handle the hate (which I feel I do not deserve, but others may feel differently) so please can you inform
your followers that there is no need for them to act in such a way anymore. I am sorry if any of my actions offended you or your friends, and I understand their response, even if I cannot entirely forgive them.
So last night, I decided to check my inbox before going to sleep, expecting something from a friend talking about a new AU project (my inbox is generally 99% AU projects).
Instead, I found this.
I'd like to apologise to you, girl-who-saved-the-thestarkinhighgarden-url, because you didn't deserve this. It's my fault that you were subjected to it, and for that there's really nothing I can do but apologise over and over again, because what happened to you was wrong, but it happened on my behalf and at my unintentional behest, apparently.
So to you, I'm sorry. You only did what I would've done six months ago to the sansatyrell url, and I only reacted as I did because I was kind of blown away by the speed with which you snapped it up.
And yeah, I was a little creeped out because I didn't know you, and indeed still don't, but that doesn't mean I was ANGRY or I HATED you - I had expressly stated that I was giving up the url, that I was moving away from being thestarkinhighgarden because I feel as if that's not who I am as an online presence anymore (and besides, I've always felt more SecondStarOnTheLeft than anything). I explicitly stated that I would be freeing up the url.
I handled my surprise badly. Really badly. And I apologise for that, too, because I think I gave the wrong impression to friends and followers, so that's on my head as well.
But none of this excuses what some of you, my followers, did.
You essentially sent anon hate in my name. I actively loathe anon hate, as anyone who has followed me for any length of time knows. What on Earth made you think I would be okay with this?! Nobody deserves anon hate for anything so simple as saving a freaking url!
Going on what some of you sent to this poor girl, you seem to be under the impression that my creative abilities are tied to my identity as thestarkinhighgarden, and I have to say, if you think a url like that defines someone then you need to step the hell back. Like, back towards the unfollow button, because you know what? Nobody needs that kind of dumb. Nobody.
So, girl-who-saved-the-thestarkinhighgarden-url, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for my reaction, I'm sorry for how I handled this, and I'm so, so sorry that you had to put up with this bullshit.
Sorry, friend.
(PS: for a bunch of people who so vilify the use of the word "cunt," you sure do like to throw it around, tumblr)
