Okay, Sabrina :icondreamerzina:. You left me no choice. I never went public with this from this past August. I tried to stay clear of you. That is why I blocked you from our e-mails, my Rogue website, eBay and other places. You act like you are a very hurt person when in fact I am so hurt as well. I thought you were my friend. I went out of my way numerous times getting items for you that cost me either a lot of money or trading some rare items to acquire for you. I even spent several hours painting custom figures for you. I spent so much of my time scanning pics for you. Talking to you as a friend about things in our lives. I waited in line at cons to buy you commissions that cost me money. All because you say you like Rogue and so do I. I thought I found a true friend. I enjoyed doing those things for you, only to turn around and keep seeing you sell the stuff on eBay. That's very painful to watch something you spent time and love and then see someone turn around and sell it for $3.00 or $5.00 and then expect $30.00 worth of more stuff (not to mention $19.00 to ship) for 5 common cards of Rogue. I felt very used. I always send you sets, chase cards, figures, pins, art, etc..... and you sell them. WTF? Do friends do that? Then you turn around and send me stuff that is worth way less but don't even package it good. Who puts rubberbands around cards (which damages them) and just tosses it into a thin padded envelope. I went out of my way to buy hard card boxes and shipped them securely. I even bought a ton of items from you on eBay (some of which were stuff I gave you). I used to share pictures of artwork that my husband did for sets (before anyone would ever have seen them). Like I said, I thought we were friends. I really do have to evaluate what a friend is. I don't even trust many people now because of people like you. I never ever said that I was better than you. I talk and comment to everyone who comes to my website. I comment on their sites as well. I even used to comment on yours (when I thought we were friends). Then you go and make a contest months and months after you know that we stopped talking. You didn't ask my husbands permission to use his art. So he asked you to please take it off the contest. He had no idea it was on there until YOU contacted him. You said if he didn't want it there to contact you and so he did. Then you go and make a public journal saying that you are hurt. Do you know how many times you have caused us stress anxiety attacks in the past and even now? Do friends really do that to each other? I guess not. You knew we stopped being friends in August. I sent you one e-mail and then blocked you everywhere back then. I thought it would be a better solution than us going back and forth with each other all the time. I never made it public. I never said I was better than anyone. I enjoy making friends, but when they make me feel used it really hurts. So, I guess you win. I am hurt and never want to hear from you again. I gave you a chance to make a clean split.

Well, it seems after she first went public with a journal first and now that I have, she has made more journals acting like the victim. She wasn't the only one hurt by this. I've had anxiety attacks both back in August and now from her (even crying spells too). She has made more journals bashing both me and my husband. We weren't the ones who started this. All my husband did was reply to her after she sent him a NOTE saying she entered him into a contest without his permission. All he did was ask her to remove it from the contest and blocked her because we have had a lot of very stressful dealings with her in the past and we thought she was already blocked. We have tons of e-mails still saved to prove it. I made a journal to counteract her journal. She isn't the only victim. I'm afraid to trust people now. I'm afraid to waste my time and money giving and being helpful just to be attacked and stabbed in the back. Now she has people on her site saying they will come and attack us and write crap on ours. PLEASE LEAVE US ALONE. I didn't want to have to go public with this but you did first. LEAVE US ALONE.


I also ask my friends to please NOT post anything mean or threatening on her Deviant. We are all much more mature than she is.

I've been away from DA for a while and have only just seen this. I'm sorry that this happened to you Elaine. You and Tony have always carried yourselves in a dignified and respectful manner (Tony's PAULBLA's aside!!), and that is one of the reasons you are both respected and loved as people, artists and collectors. I hope this issue is over now and that you and Tony can move on.

Take care,
Jack.

Hi Elaine,

I just read your and Tony's bulletins and wanted to throw my support into the ring. As people above have said, sometimes your good nature gets taken advantage of. But don't change who you are over this person. All the people who are your fans and friends (and I'd like to think I'm both) know the truth.

Just be who you are- that's why you got such a positive outpouring in the responses here! :)

Talk to you real soon,
Scott
