More fun from ~Winter Rose!!111~
Superfun! Since Rose has responded to my allegations about her in a vague way, and her dithering, silly husband has outright said that I made this stuff up about her, I thought I should, you know QFT where applicable.
Let's see, what did I say in that last post? That Rose made a mockery of Native Americans by claiming to be descended from a Cherokee Princess. Hey, what's this? And yep, I posted about it on the NDN comm. Lots of laughs there.
That Rose said she thought it would be "romantic" to get tuberculosis. Why, look! And in case she deletes it, this was her response to the question "Top five diseases you would most like to contract (given that you could get better)":
2. Consumption {So Romantic!} The actual reply is right here.
That she always goes on about her hair color, first saying that it's natural and then later saying that she uses Clairol, which is tested on animals, and that I called her on it once? Sadly, she has deleted that stuff. You know, people saying things in her LJ that aren't along the lines of "OMG you are so FAE!!!!1111" never goes over well.
That she's greedy, grasping, vain, stupid and all the rest, well, those are just opinions. As some very smart person posted in GAFF, "Rose, Rose, this isn't sweet and it's synergy -- this is trying to get a free ride. Sorry. It's nice that you has people who are generous enough to give you money, but you are not entitled to a free honeymoon more than anyone else.
Aren't true princesses supposed to have...dignity?
I do wonder if she realizes that for every sugar-free double shot vanilla strawberry caramel fudge iced tea mocha frappuccino she cuts out of her budget, that at least four less people would have to give her money."
As for the real issue: Do the charity meme. Donate!
ETA: I want to thank all of you who responded, in email, comments, or fora, for your support and agreement. But more than that, thanks to all of you who have been inspired to donate to charity--or in many cases, to donate more than you usually would have. Rose started this whole thing with her ridiculousness and greed. I get mad about stuff like that, so I want to thank all of you for helping me turn it into something helpful to others. ^_^
ETA Tristan proposes a compromise. While I still don't hold with the idea of begging being any kind of dignified, anything that will get $2500 to charity is a good thing. Making a difference is a good thing. OTOH, it also makes one wonder: If they don't have the money to go to Ireland and have to go a-begging for it, then where is the money for charity going to come from? Or will it be like a slow trickle ... like over ten years or so? And in the meantime, they'll just light some candles and hope that other people's problems will go away?
Huh, and Rose is still deleting my comments, which actually had very little to do with her. Hmm.

(Anonymous) 2006-08-28 05:11 am (UTC)(link)Why are you buying CDs and books and sparklies and posting about it, but turning around and saying, "Waaahhhh...I have no money and I want to go to Ireland!!!" Cut the crap buying if you really want to go, and save your money!
People aren't jealous of Rose. There's no reason. She hasn't got anything more or less better than anyone else. They're just baffled by her methods and her need to talk about material objects. I wonder if she was in someone else's shoes and read her own words, would she feel differently? Would she understand that she comes across greater than thou art and as if everything she does and has is ten times better than what the next person has? That she comes across as NEEDING to be better?
And the Cassandra Claire comment? Why does a collective mind seem to think that people were OK with that but not Rose's plea for a trip? I'm sorry, I don't donate to idiots, period. I wouldn't have donated to Claire, and I bet several people were just as disgusted and didn't donate either. So therefore, I think plenty of people are not hypocritical when it comes to disagreeing with Rose's methods here. But whatever. Logic doesn't really hold with Rose's group, apparently.

I actually answered those comments. Also the one about "How come people supported taht fanfic writer who asked for money?!" to point up my LJ entry where I mocked that, too. Guess what? Deleted. Rose wants to think--and wants others to think--that she's the only person I call out when they do something greedy or hateful.

WHen you've got people circle-jerking all over you, I guess "logic" has to go and hide its face for a while.
