But that's the problem, or at least my problem with @booby . I don't know her. I don't care to want to know her. I usually ignore her. However, do I know for a fact that she is blatantly TARGETING ME, and it makes me highly uncomfortable especially since I have children.
I am gobsmacked by this. Are you serious?
i think it makes sense coming from someone who threatens to put people in jail, etc if she isn't happy with them.

@kirkette , in what ways do you feel highly uncomfortable for your children because booby has targeted you? Are you speaking broadly or specifically? Because it does sound specific, and I think that's where people are taken aback.
Anyone who "knows" me on these boards knows I don't get along with booby and knows I'm about as internet paranoid as they come. (lucy linked something on fb the other day from here and I couldn't believe people were following the link "tra la la"). So trust me, kirkette, when I say you and your children are at no risk of harm. That doesn't mean I didn't raise an eyebrow at calling three of the few black women on the board scary. But booby is being booby. She doesn't stalk people from here offline.
Honestly, it's lines like that (and, apparently, a threat I didn't see to throw people in jail) that are making some people think you aren't being rational.
@booby , it's fine to think I'm a fruitcake (your term, not mine)
It's fine to think I'm out of touch. Hell, I'm the first to admit that I'm out of touch and have next to no references to middle class life.
Hell, Williams-Sonoma is a regular store to me. It's not fancy to me due to where I live, and how I was raised.
Let's be clear. I am not gypsy. I am not connected to gypsy. My name is Kirkette, don't try and get the two mixed up.
A few days ago you asked if I was old money? How did you want me to respond? Since all eyes are watching this thread, and I've got nothing to hide, I'll be up front so my words don't get twisted later one, when some tries to post an ill colored joke.
Yes, I'm old money. Like, money so old, it's older than America old money. Like, "we'd rather have you not work, so you can focus on your charities and humanitarian efforts on behalf of our good family name" old money. Like, we don't keep track of our incomes, because it doesn't really matter anyway, levels of old money. Like, "feel free to spend your free time studying any topic you want, and work on photo shoots and runway shows" levels old money. Like, "we're some how 0 to 2 degrees of separation from anyone with political power, or true celebrity status" old money. Like, "Mr.Kirkette has started an e-file of @booby 's creeptastic stalkerish behavior, just in case she snaps" levels of old money.
Just so we're clear. I'm not crazy. I have noticed that you seem to like to get into power struggles with black women. @smo, habs, sfy , @koko , and you are clearly trying it with me. I'm not having it. You need to ask yourself what you have against black women, that you feel the need to constantly target a number of them, and say the most vile, racially charged, and nasty things to them even when they tell you stop, or that they'd rather be left alone.
I am not angry right now. I'm grossed the fuck out by your continued poor behavior, and that you are clearly trying to gas light me for all to see. Stop, it won't work.
I said it before, and I'll say it again. Don't push me to get angry. You do not want me to really get upset with you. I said those words about being fired, or going to jail because I'm sending you a message.
Here in America, when you keep targeting the youngest black girl, from very a powerful fucking family, after she's told you to stop, multiple times, but now it's to the point where her family gets concerned for her safety from an online creeper (seriously, weren't you bragging about stalking bloggers and getting banned?), things will not end well for you. It didn't work with Liberal Feminist teachers who targeted me in the past. It hasn't work well for inappropriate coworker who for some reason are threatened by a successful little black girl. It hasn't work for inappropriate people, whom I had to take to court, and get a restraining order against because they won't stop harassing me.
Are we clear? Do not try it with me. I am not one of your bloggers, or a blind item filled with old as hell celebrity information.
If I bother you that much, block me, or grow up. Your choice. After this, I'm going right back to ignoring you. I encourage you to do the same.
To everyone else, sorry for another WOT. Again, after 8 years of seeing a shit ton of racism and microaggressions thinly veiled as humor, I had enough.
At least people are talking openly about the racist things I've picked up on for some time now.
Honest question--- if the family you married into is that powerful and you are that worried about your life, why are you posting here? Or referencing it at all?

I meant to add, because some of the stuff you have posted over the last few days-jail threats, bragging about social status, etc.- is not something I think that level of power and money would be too happy to know you were posting about on a message board.
At least not the people I know ( or know by way of my parents and H's) in that social, political, and wealth circles.
But maybe we don't know the same people. I never responded to your question asking me about grad year. I'd rather not have certain info out there.
And I'm sorry, but seriously, you are concerned for your children and your last post is nothing but a huge fucking threat because some online stranger made a comment that your recent posts seem off. Okay.
Some of you have valid points. Some of you are fucking ridiculous and are derailing anything valuable. Maybe if you're a white woman from some rando town in a hick state, YOU should be embarassed about schooling a POC from one of the most metropolitan cities in North America about racial insensitivity.

umm. kirkette. That isn't old money. This is both very threatening and completely unhinged.
I understand that you are angry, but these threats aren't helping your case. If this website is bothering you this much, take a break. Really. This is a tiny little spot of nowhere on the internet. Nothing here matters. You have a real life and a real family. Go enjoy your real interests.
Perhaps you have had real cause to get a restraining order in the past. I'm sorry to hear that. Perhaps you weren't trigger happy and overreacting then.
But this here? This post here is overreacting. A gossipy mean girl in Toronto isn't coming to get you or your family. There are real threats out there in the world. I keep my privacy here because I've seen them. Booby isn't one of them. And saying she is completely destroys your credibility.
