Soooooo...now whenever we post under our own username we need to....what? Come back and confirm it was actually us who actually posted under our actual username? We need to work out some kind of code for this, right? I feel like you're just punking us. As they say on reddit...relevant user name, krazy. Ok. She has posted enough that we can all agree that the posts about the picture are out of character for her. Right?. A logical person would wonder why instead of automatically assuming nothing was wrong and she meant to do what she did and then throw her under the bus. I can understand why she might not want to come on this board and tell us what happened with all the righteous people who are so sure they KNOW what happened in the first place. What I can't decide is if some are that gullible they never question anything or they don't want to admit they may have overreacted and keep on spinning. Actually, a logical person would realize that a very simple explanation would have cleared this all up in just a couple of sentences. Either admitting it knowing the Peas are quick to forgive or finding an excuse which the Peas would probably be quick to accept. Instead just...*poof*. What the hell else are we supposed to think?!?

Well that was strange. I like SP for the record and hate to see her go. She knows 2peas though and if there is any hint of "untrue", the peas will figure it out.

Why not give her benefit of doubt? Maybe it was her a few years ago, not a few months ? Couldn't chemo brain cause one to mistype / misspeak?

I don't 'know' SP from Dick or Jane, and I think what she did is weird. And honestly? A blatant lie. If she had just posted the photo, ok. The photo is who she likes to think of herself as.
But by giving lies about the photo details, I think she made a conscience decision to mislead. And then to delete her account? I call Bullshit.

I didn't follow the other thread that closely so I am super confused. Was it really a picture of her just not a current one or not her at all?

I wanted to catch up on the other thread but I was super confused just following this one. It made it sound like it was her only younger. Says me who has a picture of my cute 3 year old self as my avatar. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/5645536/images/MNrJDkDuSwqIMVw33MdD.jpg)

Again, that's easy to clear up. Why just vanish? My current conspiracy theory is that maybe a family member, nurse, French teen had access to her computer while she is sleeping after her treatment. They got curious, and honestly, who wouldn't? We're a fascinating bunch. So they got curious, posted, not knowing we have the best Google detectives on the force, got found out, panicked, deleted the profile while the real ScrapPower is none the wiser.

When she posted it she said it was a couple of months ago.
Then someone asked about the date because the photo was labeled 2011 and she got all indignant and said that people can change dates on photos and again said it was a couple of months ago.
She was questioned about where it was and she had an answer (which probably isn't even remotely true).
And then she went on to give details about the occasion (a friends wedding) and that she officiated it as a high priestess.
That's not mistyping, misspeaking, or chemo brain. That's flat out lying.
ETA: There was no detective work necessary. Someone else called her out on it and she continued to lie. I'm not the only one that questioned her or that had seen this picture in other places. Quit acting like it was buried deep in some FBI files that took some skill to find. It's pinned to practically every single board that is about wicca on Pinterest.

I hope scrap power is feeling well and comes back someday.
Illness es can be hard to deal with and you can make a snap poor decision or a mistake. I'd hate to loose a long time pea over something so silly as a picture

Her stories have been inconsistent for years. First she's on disability and about to file bankruptcy and just weeks later she made posts that made it seem like she was flush with cash. I don't remember all the details, but I know someone asked about it and she got very defensive. There were other inconsistencies and at this point, who knows what is true and what isn't. Except that she choose to post someone else's photo and spin a story around it, including a fake age that many Peas confirm isn't what she has said before.

A lie undermines the trust. Someone else posted a photo of an alligator (or crocodile) but noted it wasn't really them. No one HAS to participate so no reason to lie.

Frankly I'm not that interested. But I think it's sad so many are willing to burn an old Pea at the stake when she's been experiencing long term difficulties. Maybe she was embarrassed when it went too far.

Free bird, well your name makes you sound like a hippie teen, so there. And WHO the hell cares. I said that because I was like WTH? and it seemed the best way to express it. Sorry it wasn't up to your adult standards. ![:-*](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/kiss.png)
Mature response I see. I didn't expect really more than that.
She have never made a mature sounding post. If she talks like this in real like, can you imagine how painful that conversation would be.,

Occam's Razor says, a fake picture appears, the poster disappears, the poster posted a fake picture. Common sense says, you post a fake picture of yourself, people are going to talk. I think it is ok to be upset if you are deceived by someone on the internet (I know, everyone has been waiting anxiously for my approval on that). I've made genuine friends in internet communities, and I don't want to be so closed off as a person that I just assume everyone is a fifty-year-old man in boxers living in his parents' basement. Based on how awesome that picture was, I am thinking a "Wicca me" app, which would transform ordinary selfies into slightly wistful, soulful portraits with flowing robes and hair would be a big hit. FABULOUS idea! I think my natural bitchy resting face would pass for 'wistful'. Looking at your smiling picture all the time I have a hard time beleiving you can actually pull off a bitchy face ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

How do you think no one knows what happened? We all know exactly what happened. You can see it if you go read the thread everyone is talking about. I just don't get it. Can you please explain your position? What amazes me is how easily how some of you choose to believe the worse of someone without knowing all the facts. Again has anyone talked to Scrappower IRL? Until somebody does or until she actually comes on this board and tells us what happened you don't know the facts and why what happened happened. If it wasn't her posting, it would have been so easy for her to just say that. But she didn't. She deleted her account here.

Too many people have noticed inconsistencies, coincidences and things that just don't add up, so everyone doesn't agree with you or the odd reasons or excuse or conspiracies or whatever you want to call them, that you've come up with.

I hate when a long time strong member of our board leaves because of a poor decision, whether it be scrappower, yakki, or hell even bead hound (who wasn't outed, but left after posting bad things and being called on it). We lose something each time.

The trust. We share a lot here. It's a comfort zone for us, and when someone lies, for whatever reason, it shakes up the comfort zone. We tend to (or at least *I* do) take everything a face value...until we have a reason not to. It makes us not want to reveal a part of ourselves, because who can you trust? And this has been a place of comfort to so many. I like Scrappower, I do. I wish her well, I hope she is able to overcome her illness. But even if she does come back (and I'm not saying she shouldn't if that's what she chooses), it's going to take a very long time to get over that loss of trust. And I'm sure quite a few of us, yes even me, can forgive....but can we ever forget?

Geez, I didn't even do anything and I feel like I'm in trouble. :-p -A Different Sam ![:blush:](//storage.proboards.com/5645536/images/R6yG4nI0YHiVm0wktwl4.jpg) ...oops, I thought "Sam" was you. I thought you were still choppedliver but when I saw "Sam", I was having a blonde moment and thought you had changed your name at the new pod. I'm really glad you posted so I could unconfuse myself.
