Lyndahere And Yes You Are Here!...A response to recent Twitter posts.

I wasn’t going to publish this post I wrote but after reading a couple of Lynda Elstad or @lyndahere’s tweets I decided to. Today she wrote on her Twitter page 

“So if I see someone whose been a nasty shithead to me being deceived by a nastier shithead I’ve got no moral obligation to tell them, right?”4 December 2012
@carbonbhoy “No moral obligation, just having a thought about it is more effort than you should put into it…I may try getting a 4.30pm tix”. 4 December 2012
@carbonbhoy ”Thanks for the conscience absolution. I wouldn’t be believed, anyway. I hope you get the tickets! Use 2 phones if you can” 4 December 2012

Having @lyndahere spy on IP addresses of fans and fans who don’t agree with her, spreading nasty rumours behind some fan’s backs who disagree with her, turning fans against each other and calling people names are all part of the music social media experiences. In one tweet today she is writing about moral obligations and then in the other hand she is telling another fan how to beat the system that is in place for tickets to Russell Crowe’s Indoor Garden Party in New York on December 8 2012 with Alan Doyle, Samantha Barks, and Scott Grimes. Russell Crowe tweeted about fair ticket access and tried very hard to make it fair for fans. And here @lyndahere is giving advice about how to beat the system undermining Russell Crowe and all his effort. Moral obligation it seems in @lyndahere’s case is irrelevant. When gaining access to Great Big Sea and Alan Doyle concerts and events moral obligation goes out the window.

@lyndahere "I’m here, right Here. I’m not going away, no matter what – no matter what not. That’s settled. All else is up for debate, all else except leaving." 30 November 2012
Yes @lyndahere you are here as long as you continue to buy a ticket to a concert. You are here as long as you continue to be willing to pay for travel and accommodation. You are here as long as you pay to be here. @lyndahere you are here because US and Canadian customs don’t arrest you when you enter their country with the intent of committing criminal acts like stalking and bootlegging and return to America with contraband (bootlegged material). You are here because you do not declare illegal goods to customs. @lyndahere you are here because you fail to recognise and show respect for the laws of the US, Canada and Newfoundland and the laws of these countries don’t protect the people the way they are suppose to. You are here because there have been no complaints to the Newfoundland police and the appropriate authorities about your activities. You are here because you do not operate within the laws of acceptable fan behaviour and because of people’s ability to ignore you. Your social media accounts on Twitter and Facebook operate because there have been no complaints about you distributing contraband (live recordings) and stalking. You are here because you continue to communicate with Great Big Sea whether they want it or not. You are here because you cannot read their non-verbal communication in the photographs and videos you take or choose to ignore it.

Yes @lyndahere you are here because of your own needs and fail to recognise the abilities and needs of others to do their jobs with considerable success. @lyndahere your here because you are under the false impression they need you. @lyndahere you are here because you do not accept others rights to say no to you. You are here because you are unable to recognise your lack of creativity and skill after years of practice distributing photographs and bootlegged live recordings. You are here because of your own ignorance and other people’s (unconscious) ignorance. @lyndahere you are here because of a desire for power and control over people. @lyndahere you are here because you believe that if someone wont give you what you want then you will take it regardless. You’re here because you have threatened and frightened others. They have decided their priority is not you or your videos. Yes @lyndahere you’re here. It’s not the quantity of here that counts but the quality of here that counts. You are here because you have nowhere else to go and nothing else to do.
