Sabotage

So I blasted a post on facebook because I found it so extremely pathetic that someone would deliberately try to sabotage one of my dances.  But it happened, this evening as I opened for the first time at a new venue, just a place where I could relax, run my dances and have some fun.  I knew when I looked at the group list there were people in there that would not be too happy about my presence on this team.  I had no idea to what juvenile lengths they would go to make their presence known, and it was done in the most childish way possible.

So let me do what I do best, give you the breakdown as to what happened this evening:

I'm at the venue, I have Jade and Ary with me and we are performing one of my favorite dances, "Whore" by In This Moment.  First time here and they do things very differently from what I'm used to and I'm a bit nervous, but calmed down fast when we were ready to roll halfway through my intro song.  So the song rolls, everything is going great when about 15 seconds before my dance is over, the curtain closes.  Now at this theater it's not so much a curtain as it is a prim that disappears and reappears when your dance is done.  Considering that you are prompted to open or close the curtain, this was by no means an accident, and it didn't take me long to form my extremely short list of suspects.

I was angry at first because well, that's just your first reaction when something like this happens.  Then I laughed because I know of only one person who could fuck up a sabotage and surprise, they were present at the theater and had rights to open and close the curtain.  I mean come on, if you're going to sabo someone, you don't do it at the end of the song, where the only person who knows the curtain should not have closed that soon was me.  I have not given this person a second thought since November 7, 2015 until today when my curtain closed early.  It's nice to know you are no more a professional now then you were back then.  You still lack maturity, and self worth.  As I said on my facebook page, you really need to focus more on your own shit and less on mine.  I actually feel sorry for you, the way you devalue your self worth by attacking someone who has no contact with you for nine months, who doesn't even travel in the same circles as you and has no interest in what you do and for whom you do it for.  All the issues you have with me are not my fault, and not my problem.  You created these issues out of jealousy and for many reasons, not just one.

As a mature, professional woman I just want to say that I would never disrespect the work that you do like you have done mine.  I may not like you or what you stand for, but I wouldn't mess with your work.  You should be ashamed of yourself - you are a horrible representation of the dance community!

Now I am human, and I got angry, but I don't give these things much thought past the rant in my blog and that's why I blog, so I can get it all out and then move the heck on.  Its really sad, this year is my tenth year in game and this type of behavior doesn't surprise me, because it's all over SL.  Those who are bullied in RL become the bullies of SL.  Not all of them but a lot of them, because they can hide safely behind a computer monitor and you will never really know who they are.

Its funny because as much of an introvert that I am, I probably have more enemies than your typical assholios.....go figure! Oh well what more can I say?  When the day was done it didn't stop people from messaging me and sending me pictures.  And I still had a great time, and hope to be able to bring more of my dance there.  Either way, keep the music flowing and the dances going!!
