Swap Drama

Unfortunately, for some bizarre reason, I have attracted some major swap drama, via a particular swapper, who thinks it's appropriate to personally attack me for no good reason. (Is there EVER a good reason, really?) Just for the record, I have been polite and patient with this person, only to have that thrown back in my face.

I feel it is deeply inappropriate to use the forums to bash other swappers. People were so quick to jump on her bandwagon and wonder why I wouldn't want to "make it right". Well here the answer: I won't trade with people who are nasty or demanding or fail to treat others with kindness and respect. Simple as that. If she had been even remotely reasonable, I would have happily resent. Bullying me gets you NOWHERE.

I also find it highly offensive that so many people would just start bashing someone they don't even know. It doesn't speak very well to who you are-who would want to swap with you knowing that you could turn around and do the same thing to them at any moment? It's absolutely disgusting. SHAME ON YOU!! It's just so rediculous and pathetic.

And now I see I've been partially suspended because I've removed my personal info to stem the tide of harassing emails I was getting. nice Thanks for punishing the innocent party Swapbot! That's incredibly helpful! I cannot wait for all the swaps I sent out to arrive at their destinations so I can delete my account and be done with it.

Comment: I have not received and I did try to get in contact with you but apparently you have me blocked for some unknown reason. Will happily change rating when and if I receive.
Response: I did send it, the day partners were assigned. It's likely still in the mail. I've sent you and email regarding this.

Comment: What a wonderful swap to receive, thank you! I *love* the credit card sleeve, the bunny applique and that star button are adorable, and the Canadian Year of the Rabbit stamp is so gorgeous that I want to have it framed. :)

Comment: Just got your minizine. It's wonderful and very helpful. The tips will come in handy in my art/craft making. Thanks a bunch. :) I'm sorry to hear you're leaving Swapbot. And sorry that you've had a bad experience. :( Would have love to swap more minizines with you. Like one rater said I hope you'll be back someday and give it another try. But thank you for swapping with me. My zine will be on its way to you soon. Have a good one.<3

Comment: Thanks for the map/heart ornament. Did you see the pattern somewhere or is this original? It feels vintage-y.
Response: I saw a photograph and was totally intrigued, so I yanked out all my materials and figured out how to do it. Clearly YOU are brilliant-you "got it"! I am thinking it would make a cool string of hearts for v-day next year. Maybe I'll write it up as a zine tutorial.

Comment: TOTALLY love my little rabbit bag. Not sure what I'll put in it yet - too dear to EVER let him out of the house - that's for sure! :)
Response: Glad you liked it. Maybe your bus pass would fit in it or your Safeway cards or something...

Comment: Is HOLY CRAP an inappropriate thing to say here??? WOW Wow wow!! Your fabulously incredible journal arrived today and it blew me away! ...and you're right...we have very similar styles and mine looks a bit like yours. I'm super excited to do more of yours now! Oh, did I say thank you yet??? THANK YOU!!!! :)
Response: *laughs* So pleased you like it. I am glad you saw the video-I didn't want to tell you about it till you got the journal, so it wouldn't ruin the surprise. I wasn't sure if you followed my blog or not. Some of the art in the journal is mine, as I'm sure you heard on the video. Sewing paper is addictive-once I get going, I can't stop, which is why it was completed so quickly. :)
