Not for @lyndahere or Lynda Elstad. Of course she wasn’t invited to the big
occasion at Warner Music. It must have been disappointing for her to miss out
on seeing Alan Doyle and Great Big Sea collect their gold record without her.
She had been there a large step of the way. The event however, did not go
unnoticed by her on Twitter and after the brief complementary congratulations
tweet she moved on.
That day @lyndahere had started on bullies and bullying on her Twitter sites. They grew
more intense as the day went on. Then a tweet claiming a Newfoundland man she
encountered was a coward. On the day Great Big Sea were receiving their gold
record she was calling a Newfoundland man a bully and a coward. Yep it is not about me it’s about you.
@lyndahere is not taking and following her own advice “it’s
not about me. It’s about you”. And we all know who really this whole thing is about.@lyndahere.
It all dissolved very quickly once she got the response she was after and off
she went onto to another concert.
It is truly unfortunate for her no is a dirty word. The
world is full of adventures and perhaps @lyndahere should find one that appreciates
her as she would like to be appreciated. Unfortunately self-esteem and self-respect can’t be bought in the way she buys an airline or bus ticket or books a
hotel room for the next concert.
There probably is no point in going into bullying yet again
because well she will do what she always does, use the same methods to get what
she wants and the same responses. On a lot of the previous big occasions for this band @lyndahere has done something to attract attention. These are recorded on previous posts throughout the last year. The "It's not about me. It's about you" gabble is wearing a bit thin for all those involved as it is just not true.
@lyndahere Ha – 1st
time a pissed-off me ever called a NL man a coward @christinatownie responded,
“Well, yes, that isn’t really a big deal here”. 15 July 2013
@lyndahere Recalling
Dad’s advice re bullies: Confront or capitulate will both escalate. Instead,
remain who you are, do what you do, love who you love. 15 July 2013
@lyndahere to
@alanthomasdoyle When in doubt – always in doubt it seems it's go with “It’s not
about me. It’s about (insert loved one)”. 14 July 2013

@alanthomasdoyle The hard part is knowing what’s Best to do, in lieu of info.
A well-intentioned guessing game played with love. 14 July 2013
@lyndahere Without
cowards, there would be no bullies. 14 July 2013
@lyndahere to
@alanthomasdoyle “Believe in the Best I know of you; try to do the Best I know
for you.” Only answer I have. Perhaps only answer there is. 14 July 2013

@alanthomasdoyle You’re still King. Caring trumps bullying. 14 July 2013
Lyndahere and Ground Hog Day
This is a post for a rainy day. And is one of those days. On
Twitter @lyndahere wrote “Coming to the second Jubilee Auditorium on
a tour is Déjà vu all over again. Identical” 15 March 2013.
Her tweets and stalking remind me of the 1993 movie
Groundhog Day staring Bill Murray and Andi MacDowell. It is the story of a
weather man who visits a small American town of Punxsutawney Pennsylvania to
report on the annual ritual of the coming out of the groundhog. He wakes up the
next day to discover he is trapped in town due to a snow storm that comes in
after the groundhog ceremony. Then again when he wakes up the next day it is
the same morning of the day before over and over again and everything that has
happened to him is repeated. If he repeats the same behaviour towards people as
he did on the day then the day will be repeated, but if changes his behaviour
and the way people respond to him then a whole range of new and exciting
possibilities open up. He remembers what has happened on each previous day. In
order to change the events he changes into a better person he would like to
become.
I recently viewed some @lyndahere’s bootlegged videos and some
photographs of Great Big Sea in particular the video of when they distributed
the anniversary cake. It was very sweet of them to show their appreciation of the audience and involve them in the celebrations. She always seems to be in the same location and that is
right in front of Alan Doyle on stage. The videos are the same, focused
directly on him only briefly moving to something else happening on the stage. I
am amazed she always manages to get these seats or the same position so close
to the stage.
And she is very close indeed and actually invasive. It would be interesting to know if she actually gets tickets to those seats closest to Alan Doyle or she just takes that position without any consideration for anyone else who will be only attending that concert. Yet here is a person who prides herself on her sharing via a blog, photos and videos with others for those who cannot attend. It must be like Ground Hog day for her. If she changed her behaviour and how people responded to her then it may open up a whole range of new possibilities for her like it did for Bill Murray’s character in Ground Hog Day.
