and well, pretty much every white woman I’ve ever interacted with online
and all the women I know I am missing because I’ve been online for four years and can’t think of everybody

I don’t like most of you. And most of you are still not allowed to comment at my blog.

But i did want to say. I am sorry for any time I have EVER helped in anyway to encourage the blogosphere to swarm you. I didn’t know what was going on behind the scenes with you–and I have since discovered that the only that really helped me do the right thing when a swarm was going on was somebody saying, give bfp space. Offline shit is WAY more important to me than anything that happens online as I am sure it is to all of you–and the only way I could confront the stuff offline was by being given the space online.

Thus, I am sorry, really and truly sorry, for contributing in ANY way to the swarm and for not having the good graces of saying “back off.”

Again. There is too much history between most of you and me to ever even look at each other again–and like I said most of you are still not allowed at this blog, as I know I am not allowed at yours.

But I did want to say it in public for all to hear–I am sorry.

Sincerely,
bfp
