No
form of online bullying is better or worse than any other but as of
late their “tick-tock” sniggering gleefulness over our being in
our 70's and that our time on earth is nearly up is particularly and
wildly sadistic and this is what I will address.
I
address them directly, as I know now they are reading this blog...
this because David Bret submitted several screenshots of this blog to
our attorney in an attempt to say I am bullying him..I say the
following.
Death
and age have little to do with each other. At least in my experience.
In 1986 and 1987 I lost many dear friends to Aids and they were all
in their 30's. Death, at least for those left behind is not something
hilarious that should be seized upon by a couple of bullies to
sadistically scare and terrorize a couple of seventy year old people.
Who would do something like that? I will tell you who... Tracy Ryan
Terhune and the person he now provides a platform for...David Bret.
David
Bret has written about my death and our deaths for more than a decade
(see the screenshot below as to how it affected my Google search).
And he wonders why we live in hiding. That's a no-brainer. Now Tracy
Ryan Terhune has to qualify he does not wish our deaths upon us when
the day before he wrote, “No one would miss us”, along with the
familiar... and ominous, tick tocking...
It
is challenging enough to be our age, and even more so knowing we are
in the most vulnerable portion of the world population right now...
so who needs to have two snarky bullies/POSs posting about our deaths
online? Exactly no one does that's who.
I
think in the very least these two could own up to their behavior and
not go around squealing how they are being victimized. No one
believes that.. even them. Defending ourselves against their severe
cyber bullying is exactly that. And how old are they anyway?
In
his fast back tracking last week, Tracy Ryan Terhune said there was
room enough at the Valentino table for everyone? .. positioning
himself somehow as if he is in charge of any “Valentino” table
other than that post crypt fest spaghetti throw down... And
really...Why in God's name would we dine with two people who call us
such names as “The Mad Woman of Turin and Slobbering Sam”, "Horrible Hilda and Mr. Mumbles”....etc.
An Update: I received the following comment after my post went online and feel it insightful to include.
"I continue to be appalled at what an abomination it is that 62 year old Terhune mocks the age of people scarcely 10 years older than he is. Septuagenarians are the lifeblood of the Valentino sphere. Alberto's granddaughters are deep into their 70's. Eleanor Gribbin, another 70 plus individual, single handedly keeps Terhune's forum on life support by copying and pasting her posts from her own forum dozens of times a day. Would Terhune dare jeer at these people for being in their 70's and looking it? And what does he think being 62 buys him in terms of bragging rights?"

My
father had a little wooden plaque on his dresser which read, “Do
not regret growing old for so many are denied the privilege.” It
is a privilege. And one we are content to enjoy despite all the worst
efforts of those who do not want you to read any of our books!
