A some point, well after I came to have the conviction that I had an internet presence that I did not consent to, I emailed Allyson about my website. I needed something done for maintenance or an update or whatever. I started out my email asking if I was in the doghouse with her too, as I seemed to be with a lot of women due to this alleged internet presence. When Allyson replied, she began her message with, "Hi Richard!" Then she proceeded to refer me to a girlfriend who could help me with my website, because Allyson didn't do web stuff anymore.
That meant a lot to me. What also meant a lot to me was the way MOST of the baristas at Thunderbird seemed to regard me during that whole Schmaylor Schmift ordeal. Those baristas at Thunderbird were a critical social lifeline during the 2020 phase of the pandemic, plus the two or so years of 2021 and 2022. But yeah, Allyson never came out and said, "I stand by your side, Richard Alexander." But I choose to look at her message greeting as an example of actions speaking louder than words.
