  1. @saucypickles Every community looks like a clique from a certain angle. It's still my community. 5:01 PM May 31st via Twitter for iPad in reply to saucypickles
  2. @saucypickles Absolutely not. Don't try to guess -- it really is not clear without the history. 4:23 PM May 31st via Twitter for iPad in reply to saucypickles
  3. @phiala Precisely. 3:41 PM May 31st via Twitter for Mac in reply to phiala
  4. @saucypickles Yeah, but it's nicely stealthed unless you know a bunch of private history. 3:40 PM May 31st via Twitter for Mac in reply to saucypickles
  5. @aegtx @halftongue It was meant to look innocuous unless you knew the history. Which is private, so I can't tell. But thanks for hugs. 3:39 PM May 31st via Twitter for Mac in reply to aegtx
  6. @phiala Mind you, it still makes me less capable of opening up, less keen to engage, less safe. Still costs me. I still resent it. 3:36 PM May 31st via Twitter for Mac in reply to phiala
  7. @phiala It's not in the clear anyway -- it's only clearly a dig if you know the history, much of which is private. Still a dig, though. 3:35 PM May 31st via Twitter for Mac in reply to phiala
  8. @phiala You're on this particular online haunt, which totally counts. (Though it's not the problematic one right now.) 3:30 PM May 31st via Twitter for Mac in reply to phiala
  9. @phiala Thank you for needed balance to the bad side of things. 3:25 PM May 31st via Twitter for Mac in reply to phiala
  10. @Halftongue Plenty of hurting already going on, IOW. Just wish it were not making me feel driven out of sections of my online home. 3:18 PM May 31st via Twitter for Mac in reply to Halftongue
  11. @Halftongue It's not intended to look like a dig unless you know the history. Unproductive to get into hurting, but I appreciate the support 3:17 PM May 31st via Twitter for Mac in reply to Halftongue
  12. Somewhat less than amused at being baited again on my home turf. Wondering if I need a new home turf. 3:08 PM May 31st via Twitter for Mac
  13. Really busy day in Edinburgh, ranging from AMAZING lunch at the Plumed Horse & a visit to @pulpfiction_ed. Great fun. 2:38 PM May 31st via Twitter for Mac
  14. @StevenBrust Keeping my fingers crossed for you. 2:35 PM May 31st via Twitter for Mac in reply to StevenBrust
  15. @luckylove @pulpfiction_ed Thanks. @sunpig and I enjoyed our visit. 2:34 PM May 31st via Twitter for Mac in reply to luckylove
  16. @MikeJarman @hprw I lived there for 15 years, near enough. Lovely place. 11:48 PM May 30th via Twitter for Mac in reply to MikeJarman
  17. @MikeJarman @hprw Amusingly enough, I will also be in Embra today. But not at gardening. 11:44 PM May 30th via Twitter for Mac in reply to MikeJarman
