Re: Barrett Brown (@BarrettBrownLOL) retweeted one of your Tweets!

Thank you. I'm actually humbled by your explanation. You have such a strong character and this is an example of it and it illustrates what I saw in you all those years ago. The inherent honourable-ness of you. I feel rather foolish over my inability not to be affected by your retweeting of Lipp, who I want to punch into the wall. But his lies were so extreme and
his narcissism so nauseating and not only did he lie to me, to you, to everyone involved in the Project, he lied to my daughter. He involved her in potentially catastrophic events by embroiling me in his fantasies. I went on anti depressants after what he had done came to light, not bc of any broken heartedness, I hated his guts by the end of it all. I was mentally disturbed by how easily I had been deceived by such an obviously insane madman. I had a hard time holding it together and I believe I only did so bc of Jess. I started drinking to escape and even smoking. Yes, I smoked. I really had to get my life back on track after what that irresponsible moron did to me. Thankfully Jess was supportive throughout and she is none the worse for my little escapade into drunken tomfoolery, which mainly consisted of getting wasted on a bottle of chardonnay and falling over whilst puttng the washing in at 2am. But I will never forgive him. What he did becomes less raw with time but his deceit and betrayal of me and my daughter are indicative of his weakness of character and his weak grasp on sanity. I saw your retweet and became upset. I'm sorry I doubted you. I didn't really doubt you would ever not have my back, it just felt like a betrayal and I lashed out at you. I'm sorry. I have a very strong need to feel you inside me right NOW.

I didn't realize it would upset you or be an issue, or I wouldn't have done it. You shouldn't take me having done so as some sort of indication that I don't have your back. The best way to explain this so that you'll understand what I mean and why you shouldn't be distressed about it, I guess, is for me to note that I do indeed retweet things by people whom I hate, and even defend those people on occasion, and that a couple of the people I assisted in procuring pro bono lawyers early last year had actually done a great deal of damage to me beforehand, but I assisted them because this was activism related, not personal. Late last year I met Aaron Barr and Thomas Ryan for a drink in New York and had a relatively civil conversation with both of them, even though Barr had written to Amazon threatening to sue if he's mentioned in the book and even though Ryan had posted pictures of what he believed to be my current residence during the Zetas incident. Within Anon, there are a number of people I've worked with even though they've done terrible things to me at certain points. None of this means that you shouldn't despise Lipp, which you absolutely should, as what he did to you was monstrous. I also have good reason to despise him and to also be disinclined to have any connection to him, as he could have ruined my reputation via his made-up medical project that I openly promoted on that blog and associated with PM. The reason I pushed that little button to disseminate his tweet is because of what was in the tweet, which was very crucial to the small thing I was able to accomplish in OpCartel, concerning this corrupt DA of Asheville. I would have done the same had it been any single other person, including any of the people who have tried to ruin my life over the past couple of years, simply because of what the information was in relation to the work that's more important to me than anything else. Whether or not he considers it a sign of approval or anything of that sort is irrelevant to me. But, again, I understand now that it's very relevant to you, and again, if I had realized that it would have this effect on you, I wouldn't have done so. I'm telling you all of the above because I want you to understand that it shouldn't be taken as some sort of intended betrayal or intentional disregard for your feelings; I seriously just didn't think about anything other than the fact that this was information that I wanted distributed, and so I distributed it.

I love you.

Nevermind Barrett. You are not stupid, you know what I mean. I know you're not friends with him.He would take your retweet as a sign of approval. Would you retweet the Jester or somebody else you hated?

It upset me, seeing that in your Twitter feed. It really upset me. I felt I had very few real friends when all that with Lipp blew up, virtually nobody I could rely on. It feels like a kick in the teeth from you, you who I thought always had my back.

Why would I possibly be friends with him? I just retweeted something relevant to my work that he tweeted at me, as the link was important and worth relaying to others. It's not a sign of personal approval or friendship.

Thank you for retweeting my retweet!

However, idly scrolling down your tweets just now I came across one from Lipp. I can't believe you retweeted that utter shithead. I've blocked him and wish never to be reminded of him. Are you friends with him now?
