Brian,

Thank you for your thank you.

For the record:

1. I mentioned my 2007 donation in order to illustrate a point to Midnite.

2. You came in and insinuated that I had donated only in 2013. I brought up my 2007 donation again, to correct the record.

I said, "I've got what this is all about" because I do -- I get it. You are so busy and overwhelmed with so many important people, you can't possibly be expected to remember a donation like mine. That's fine. Congratulations on all your successes.

Since you called me "cryptic" I will tell you why I thought you'd remember my donation, no matter how measly it was.

Here's the story of my small donation:

I joined JPF in 2006. In 2007, a member pulled up the 4th lyric I had ever written, and started a challenge thread around it, stating something to the effect of, "Let’s see who can write a worse, more cliche-filled lyric than Lisa! Can anyone write one with more cliches? Give it a try!”

JPF members then started writing bad, cliche-filled lyrics, trying to make theirs worse than mine.

I took offense and the whole thread turned ugly. I asked the original poster to please stop the entire thread.

You came in and defended the "Bad Lisa Lyric Challenge Thread," saying I was being too sensitive, because the original poster had agreed to take my name off of it. I had pointed out that it was too late, as everyone had already seen that it was about me, so it was wrong for the mocking to continue.

You got mad when I argued with you over it, and I told you that I was going to leave JPF, but that I appreciated the past year at the forum, and would send you a donation. I sent a donation, and you never thanked me. A few months later, you apparently started a thread, thanking the 2008 donors.

I had only been on the forum a shorter while at that point, so it was a fine donation, given the short amount of time I'd been here.

Lisa
