Say, "I need help."

And then try, "Can someone help me to get the help I need?"


An apology was issued. It resulted in a new series of attacks from Mister Scratch. If Mister Scratch had just left it alone, this would have been done by now.

Are you asking for help? Are you suicidal? Are you in trouble?

Are we talking about this thread, or the Apocalypse of John? I get confused sometimes.

Correction: If Mr. Scratch hadn't been falsely accused, this would have been "done" by now.

My sister is a knitter too. I have so many wonderful scarves. Yet another thing to make me twitterpated at the very mention of your name.

It just needs to stop. The attacks, the insults.. It all needs to stop.

Let me ask you. Lets say I am jskains. We won't get anywhere else otherwise. All that is wanted is a full truce. Can we agree to a truce and stop the attacks?

Yes, some threatening emails were sent. Yes, Mister Scratch was falsely accused. An apology was issued for that accusation. Why is this so much bigger than it needs to be. It is out of control. PLEASE lets just end this.

Sure: just provide us with the means to verify that "threatening emails were sent."

Seems to me that your inability to let things go isn't helping. Stop looking at the board. Trust me, everybody will lose interest within a few days. Creating sock puppets to come in and defend yourself is just silly. Just realize that sometimes your modus operandi isn't going to go over very well on some boards, cut your losses, and move on. Especially that last part - move on.
