I just named names to prove a point. And whether you're considered 'fringe' or not - I'm pseudo-defining it as people who are not uber-regulars on Summit or IGS with oodles of likes on their posts. Fringe =/= exiled.
Just remember what you said to me Che when I mentioned no one said a word to me. "Heh, well they must have thought you were my alt" -- cause I was the only one who reacted to your character and what happened during that incident.
I didn't walk into the room with favorites or unfavorites, or prejudices or preferences. It was a long time ago but I *think* I remember being the one who pointed out "Make sure no one else got hit with those." cause logically that makes sense in a room full of capsuleers very capable of dying out of pod.
Che-character was acting weird, something keyed me off OOC(meta-IC) something was wrong via reading the emotes, I investigated, and if I remember right, you were stuck having to handwave the thing.
This is just one incident, yes, so lets not focus on it as if it is 100% the norm all the time. It just sticks out in my head because it was my first exposure to the RP community "at large" cause it was the first event scheduled on the IGS that was publicized during a time I was online that was open to everyone.
I am still too fucking mad to make any of this make sense and it is preventing me from writing a comprehensive wall of text to explain exactly how I feel while simultaneously deleting sentences that violate the "I don't have the right to feel mad upset or hurt by any of this, this is fucking EVE and roleplaying besides, get over it."
Basically when shit hits the fan it gets everywhere.
And I think people think Ari is far more popular and busy and constantly interacting with people than she is. She'd need milkshakes and a yard for the boys, and she flies a spaceship and lives in pod goo.
I'm tired of backspacing over sentences. Going to go play more Sims3 and continue to try and chill.
EDIT:
To offset my bitter: my new round tailless ragdoll cat. Her name is Anestesia, as the people at ACCT cant spell Anastasia.
