[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
~ma for Suzi, Shir and billytea.
Fay, I feel your pain and the ewww. Although I once had a nose hair migrate from the inside of my nose to the outside so I can attest that hair can be sharp and pointy and end up in freaky places.

They're trying the woman who created the false profile on MySpace that allegedly caused that girl to commit suicide [link] .
Although, technically, they are trying her for internet violations. I don't quite know how I feel about them pursing this. OTOH, this is the same woman who said that she didn't feel as bad about the girl committing suicide because she had tried it before.
Regardless of the outcome, I think it's good that it's coming to light in the form of a trial because I think things like cyber-bullying aren't taken anywhere near as seriously as they should be and the fact that it was perpetuated by a parent absolutely makes me froth at the mouth.
Here in Jacksonville, a couple of years ago, we had a cyber-bullying case that was taking place between two schoolmates-- a boy was sending threats and vicious messages to a freshman girl, that he was going to do her harm at school and freaked her out so bad her parents kept her home. The school administration wouldn't do anything because there was no proof that any of the threats had been perpetuated on school grounds, so beyond that, they claimed no jurisdiction and that they couldn't even prove that the boy himself had sent them.
So the little shit was allowed to continue attending school while the girl was so scared she couldn't.
When I was bitching about it at a family dinner, Lewis' aunt got really pissed at me, saying that she knew the principal of the school and that he was a good guy, blah, blah, blah and I was like, "He could be St. Francis of Assisi, he's still not doing his job. Instead of hiding behind semantics, he should be doing all he can to ensure that the learning environment remains safe."
She hasn't spoken to me since.
