... you figure it would start staring back after long enough. Blink, motherfucker.

I didn't know Neer. ... hell, I'd venture to say I don't know but maybe enough people to fit on five fingers in the fandom. And even then most of what I know is direct correspondence. I don't hear all these stories people spread. Or rather, I don't bother to remember. I think part of that is because of Neer.

Neer was one of the first people to tell me he'd talked to "me." He showed me an account that was outright claiming to be me. I've had a fair share of art barrowers before and since but this was a person who felt so vindictive towards me that they actually went out of their way to muddy my name. My name was already mud, but that person felt extra spicy about something I said or did to them and felt it was worth their time to spread me like so much mayo across a shit sandwich.

It made me laugh. I thanked him for the info. And he wound up telling me I wasn't as bad as everyone'd made me out to be. Can't imagine why. And that was it. But it let me know the type and the caliber of people they had out there, gunning for one another. So I take a lot of things with a grain of salt. The other contributing factor is that I really CRS. Go figure.
