The first time I really noticed Tiki was when she started a shit stirring thread against Lj. My second encounter with her was when she threw my well-meant advice back in my face and told me to fuck off. Lj made several attempts to be gently humorous and even explicitly told her that he was joshing her that no actual offence was meant and it's just his sense of humour. She took that to mean he's a jerk, a bad person and had a problem with her personally. He barely had to raise his hand for her to bite it off. She seemed completely surprised and dismayed that he would wish to defend his wife when Tiki attacked her repeatedly: this was the only time as I recall that Lj got serious with her. Prior to that she was choosing (wilfully in my opinion) to take the negative from anything Lj, Undertoad, Shawnee, Jinx, Clod or indeed myself said to her. There's a very fine line between feeling attacked and playing the martyr.
That's a lot for me to say about somebody. I very rarely express such negativity about anyone on these boards, even when we've clashed. Again, I don't necessarily think she's a bad lass. She's got a lovely side to her as well. But she seemed to court drama whilst here and in doing so created a shit storm that I really didn't appreciate. Lj can be a bugger at times. But I've seen him rip someone apart whose really got to him, and that wasn't the case here. he pulled back with her time and again. Offered an olive branch on at least one occasion after the initial unpleasantness when they clashed at the start. She was unwilling to accept his goodwill and instead chose to bear a very vocal and re-occuring grudge. There are others who have done the same, and frankly I have no time for it. Once an argument is done, then let it be done.
I'm sure she's a lovely person. I certainly don't harbour any great dislike of her. I still think she's a very talented writer. But she was utterly disruptive to this board and her hostility levels were off the scale.
