Thanks for the support, Orchidlandguy.
I for one hope you continue to hang around on punaweb.
However, now that you have spoken out watch out they will come after you next.

hawaiideborah,

Stating that John doesn't hide behind a screen name is in no way an attack that you don't. My statement was nothing more than that. It was simply a statement of fact. You took it as an attack and it was not meant nor intended to be an attack in any way shape form or manner. My statement was VERY simplistic. I just stated that John doesn't hide behind a screen name. How you can take it that I accused YOU of hiding behind a screen is beyond me. I never said you did nor did I accuse of doing so. Your mistaken accusations of an attack justifies my statement to you that you are too sensitive to what people say to you on Internet forums.

It's weird that you would accuse me of attacking you when I just made a simple statement that John doesn't hide behind an Internet alias. Perhaps maybe YOU should have been the one to ask rather than accuse? Especially when it is quite clear you didn't understand what I said. Unless of course you purposely are accusing me of saying something I didn't? But I am assuming you wouldn't do anything like that.

Then you posted:
"Yes, John Rabi posts a lot and often and they are often jokes or off the topic. Only reason I bring this up is because he attacked me on doing what he is famous for. I was just pointing out that he sure likes to point at others when that is what he does."

Not that it is up to me, but I really don't see how he attacked you in that thread? When you read the whole thread then the one thing you posted here that he said takes on a whole different meaning. This is what I mean about purposely posting only a small bit of the entire conversation. It can easily be taken out of context and if one does not read the whole thread then it is apparent you mean for it to be taken out of context. I guess if you are really sensitive to what people say to you, you can certainly misinterpret what people say to you like you did to me in your previous post.

Perhaps if you took the first post in this thread and posted it in the Kama'aina thread instead things would be completely different. If you had done that it would look like you are doing nothing more than defending yourself. Against what, I am not sure. But to me it really makes more sense for you to have posted your first post there in that other thread. But the fact that you purposely started a whole new post and said what you did appears to be a well thought out and purposeful attack! Again, this applies to the racist thread as well. I believe if Mauka had posted his first post in the thread where the joke was told the meaning of his post would have been taken in a different light. But when you start something with the full intent of pointing out something out of context it smells of attack to me. And personally I don't think you can disagree with this.

If you even try a little to look at this whole thing from my point of view, it appears quite clear that this post was meant to do nothing more than attack John. So even if you disagree, to call me mean spirited and accuse me of attacking you when I am trying to do no more than defend John against your attacks is just ridiculous. All I did was point out some facts about your behavior. I am sorry if you have a hard time accepting and looking at your own faults but that is hardly my fault.

Let's face it, you posted for one reason and one reason only and that is to try and elicit support for attacking John. Did you really think you wouldn't hear something is his defense? And did you really think you wouldn't hear something about how you are acting? Come on Deb, think about, don't start a controversial post by posting negative things about other people if you are quite sensitive to what other people say in response. JMHO

"Aloha" starts with behavior, and as you might recall, I publicly offered you help and sent you some informative files on lava zones a while back. You never even said "Thank You!" (so much for "Aloha!") and when I sent you my newsletter you angrily asked to be removed from my "mailing list." (Let me remind you, all these happened before you managed to throw some s*** on the fan here.) It seems you need to take "a chill pill and have some aloha." If you have nothing better to do than feel free to amuse yourself with attacking me, starting this thread is just another clear indication of that. You don't even know me lady, so why would I care anyway!

Well Deborah Hillman.


It is quite oblivious that you brought all of your madland trash hang-ups, habits and ideas with you. Now you want everyone to welcome you with open arms. Sorry lady but you and others like you are the ones that seem to “never get it” or fit in, giving us old time kama’aina’s a bad rap. I’ll give you a couple to three years to learn and get it, but most likely you will hall ass and bad mouth the islands. Some of us count on you doing that so your same minded friends won’t ever even try to move here. I’m trying to muster some Aloha but you make it pretty difficult Deborah, maybe you should try another approach.

What a welcoming committee. Feels great to new folks here.
How long you been island, buddy? Thowinging the "I'm less mainland than you" around sounds like you are still there to me. some people live here for a long time and just don't get it.
Get out while you can, hawaiideborah. these guys are going to twist it all up on you for sure.

Sheesh! I had hoped this thread would wither but I'm now tempted to come to John's defense. Problem is I usually prefer to be his antagonist so I'll wait a bit.

See you are a mainlander. Guess you have escaped these "holier than thou" (translanted been here longer than you) gang who have moved over here. Seems petty to me. Kinda insecure of their own kama'aina if you ask me.
I am glad to have folks moving to Puna. I like new folks and new input.
