Well it's kind of a weird thing cause it was named after Queen Regina but I'm not sure if her name was pronounced the way we say it or "Regeena" like how Regina Spektor pronounces her name.

Regina is Latin, and the tradition is def. to say Regeena, so I dunno where you guys changed, but I think it's awesome.

The reason people have trouble pronouncing Arkansas is cause they don't know that Kansas is actually pronounced k'nsaw

I had a miserable day yesterday, easily the worst one I've had all year, but at least I refuse to take anyone's verbal or physical abuse like I did then ever again. I've worked too hard on myself the last decade overcoming my own issues to be brought down by someone that can't even be bothered to fix theirs and then try to take it out on others. No more.

The Arkansas legislature too. They voted on which pronunciation to use 135 years ago and picked the French version for some reason.

The silent treatment.

It's the absolute most petty form of passive-aggressive "retribution".

It's like, you know -- or at least, you *guess* -- you've done something that has ticked someone off, but they just ignore you entirely, so you can't even learn exactly *what* you did that warranted the treatment to begin with, and thereby work to resolve it.

By this point, two weeks of complete silence, ended by a single cryptic and vaguely threatening message (set up in such a way that I couldn't even respond), has rather surpassed in vindictiveness anything I could have done.

Aaaaand nevertheless I still feel like the worst person who's ever lived. Sigh...

So. Congrats. You've succeeded in making me suicidal once again. I do hope you're satisfied.

After giving it a little thought, instead of being vague and cryptic, myself, I decided some context was in order.

Just a bit more than two weeks ago, something happened on my IRC channel. I'm not going to name any names here, but a former member of Talkhaus -- a trans woman, because this is partially relevant -- that came to my channel regularly had been warned about anti-male, anti-cis vitriol (including, however hyperbolic, the usual "kill all men" nonsense) she was quite prone to going on about. Now, none of us had shown her anything but consideration and friendship, so this sort of talk, again however hyperbolic it may have been intended, nevertheless unsurprisingly made a number of the people in the channel angry and uncomfortable. None of us really appreciated being told we were "scum" and "should die" because we were born one gender and didn't have any desire to change it. After one particularly violent tongue-lashing from her, I'd had enough. I saw what she'd said, responded with nothing more than "...", and she basically came back with something snotty along the lines of "Oh, don't start with me". This after I had warned her mere days before about that kind of talk.

For more context, I am *incredibly* sensitive to exclusion and insults -- having been the harsh victim of both growing up, and still to this day. I'm fat; 350+ pounds, to be exact, and that's basically ground zero for hurtful stares and stupid comments, and I also suffer from autism, which tends to cause people to believe I'm either some sort of superpowered savant (I'm not) or that I'm just another statistic, an Adam Lanza waiting to happen (again, absolutely not). So. These sort of "I hate you because of what you are and cannot change" comments sting. Badly.

At any rate, I responded by kicking her from the channel. Mind, I'd left Rena's IRC channel months before because of that same kind of hurtful male/cis bashing from her and one of her friends. So I really, *really* didn't want this in my channel. My safe haven.

The result is that one of my friends -- someone I'd been very close friends with for almost two decades (but who has done a near 180 degree personality flip since the early 2010s) -- apparently got incredibly angry with me, completely ignoring me for the next two weeks. He finally broke his silence last night to deliver the aforementioned cryptic and vaguely threatening comments, during a period in which I was away from my computer, and he knew it. He left before I could return and respond, and was not back today.

I really don't know why he's so pissed at me. Trans or no, there was no "transphobia" involved. I took action against someone who was being extremely rude and hurtful towards me and several other of my friends, and to whom we'd done nothing to warrant this sort of treatment. As a result, my friend's reaction has left me a nervous wreck, wondering constantly just what I did that was so horrible that he'd treat me like this. Especially after being inseparable friends for more than a decade.

Despite it all, I still consider both people I mentioned friends, and I regret now doing what I did, but in the anger of the moment, and a life-long pain being brought to the surface, we do things we come to regret.

I'm sorry to bother everyone here with my problems, but I seriously needed to get this out.
