New Wedding Cake for February

Not specifically a Valentine cake but it suits the February theme.

Last day of January

Its been a very strange month to begin 2010. Serious health problems in the family meaning almost daily visits to the hospital, shopping for others and contending with sub-zero temperatures and snow. All topped off with a crazy liar trying to damage me with statements that I had said things in Etsy forum threads in which I never even took part and twisting statements and events beyond recognition. Fortunately skills learned during my working years enabled me to find the evidence and present it here for anyone fair minded enough to check further from the source of those lies. It was often a welcome relief to spend my time in the evenings researching as it took my mind off more serious problems, its strange how things work out like that - but I refuse to refer to it as karma, this is not a term that appeals to me for obvious reasons.

Another interesting side effect has been that I have taken an interest in this long neglected blog and I am thinking I might do a little more with it in future.

For now I have to leave the evidence here as the lies are still out there on other blogs but eventually I may archive those posts about GoodKarmaSoaps on a special blog created for them. As I know of many other Etsy sellers who have suffered abuse from the same person this may be a useful resource for others as it is a good indication that when someone is proven to tell lies anything they say has to be viewed in that light.

I am looking forward to eventually restoring my blog to one about the wonderful world of miniatures.

Feedback removal and Admin correspondence?

This "confidential" email sent by Etsy Admin to GoodKarmaSoaps and displayed on the PussDaddy blog comments purports to refer to one of the genuine feedbacks left on the GoodKarmaSoaps account for the rubbish sent.

However it is apparent that it refers to feedback in the plural being the feedback on the paperthatgrows account (account also closed down) which was the one that the PussDaddy blog threat was left on and which was removed on 27th-28th December a day or two before the other sock puppet ID was closed and its feedback removed.

Will GoodKarmaSoaps ever stop telling lies?

This is the thread she refers to.

As anyone with eyes can see I never posted anything in it at all - not even so much as a paw print to mark it.

Claim of feedback removal

Concerning this claim

"Fortunately Etsy is now addressing the situation for me but initially before all this drama, they said they could not. Thanks to blue kitty posting crap in the forums about it and on her blog, Etsy has assured me that they will get to the bottom of it and in fact, they have already removed one of the bad feedbacks that Elegant Earthyjewlery left. "

I had understood from this comment that the removal had been recently, i.e. before these blog posts were made.

However now that an Etsy email has been published on PussDaddy blog about feedback removal dated 28h December 2009 I know that this is not the case and it is possible one of the feedback comments was removed immediately it was made on the 23rd or 24th before I noticed what was happening. I therefore am not commenting further on this until enquiries have been made.

My comments were made based solely on the statement quoted above.

Close ups as requested

I Hope this will be the last of GoodKarmaSoaps

GoodKarmaSoaps has accused me of so many things and said that she has reported me for them without ever offering proof, merely hoping people will believe her tirades. I have systematically disproved what she has been saying within these recent blog posts. The lies and the innuendos, I do not obsess about her giving her soap away (or care in the least and why should I?) I do not refer to her illness. In fact I posted the only thread I ever touched on these subjects in here and its easy to read the thread and judge these comments in the context they were made in. The horrible attempt to suggest I attacked her over helping someone with a sick cat, when it appears nobody did , was particularly disgusting. I am not jealous of her and its easy to see I would have absolutely no reason to be. I have gone back over every thread she started that I posted in (12 in all) and looked at my comments, other than the threads referred to here my comments were anything from a marking to totally innocuous comments usually replying to other posters. Only 6 were closed and these mainly due to the nature of the thread being to call others out and cause dissention.

The puzzle has been why the general comment quoted here in this thread….

And in my 3 years and 282 combined sales on Etsy, I have had ONE package go missing through the postal service.

Must be difficult doing business when so many items have been lost in the post and had to be replaced plus extras to make up for the long delay that resulted. Fortunately a lot of customers are prepared to do kiss and make up when this happens so at least negs and neutrals can be removed in such unfortunate circumstances.

Has elicited so many vicious denials of doing Kiss and Make up from GoodKarmaSoaps. Not that there is anything wrong in doing them any way, especially in the case of minor misunderstandings, indeed I described it as fortunate, but maybe if you ARE not giving good service in any way you would want to cover it up as much as possible even to denying changing feedback from bad to good for such misunderstandings.

Quotes from GoodKarmaSoaps on PussDaddy blog.

“So what it boils down to is that I should not have left bad feedback under my other shop names for elegant earthly jewelry but I was very upset at the time. I have sold for a year and NEVER had problems in spite of Blue Kitty saying on the yet another thread that I probably only had good feedback because I had done kiss and make up. I HAVE NEVER used kiss and make up. “

"goodkarmasoaps said...
Bluekitty you are the liar. What are you talking about that I had other negative feedbacks and neutrals??? Please bring these to light, if this is the case then these buyers would be happy to confirm it so please have them do so. I responded to one Kiss and Make up and that was at the request of the buyer who did not pay, I left HER negative feedback and she sent a kiss and make up. I have NEVER NOT ONCE EVER REQUESTED KISS AND MAKE UP. You have accused me of lying and also Pussdaddy, but YOU are the one who is lying. I challenge you to produce these buyers. YOU CANT BECAUSE THEY DONT EXIST. "

So GoodKarmaSoaps as per your request I have acquired evidence. Lets prove which of us is the LIAR.

A look at your current feedback reveals that these are no longer there and have been replaced by positive feedback on these dates from these customers.
