I can't resist, a new page went up. To you know who - if you're really going to push the "ancient Hebrew code" issue, don't you think the "code" would have actually been in Hebrew instead of English? Re: your "table", Hebrew has 22 letters, not 26, and Hebrew spellings of names are different than English. Please do some real research. ;-) Try a library, read some books....

(pssst.. Ayin, Zayin Resh, Aleph Lamed  = AZRAL = 70+7+200+1+30=308  AZR - EL = "help - god" i.e, the help of God)

"A pre-emptive strike"
(or: I really do have better things to do than this)

You know, it takes a really "unique" frame of mind to post their server logs on their own website in lieu of a hit counter or a guest-book. Especially when their site is set up in such a way that simple navigation from page to page requires one to hop back & forth between the page you're viewing & the main page of the site itself, which in turn generates another hit via the server logs & makes it look as if certain individuals were looking at said site maniacally.

I look at it this way - either have the balls to have a guest book, open to the public & their responses to your site, or have a hit counter. And in plain sight, not "hidden" way down at the bottom with a lot of blank space between where the text ends and the actual page ends (i.e. the XOOM counter) (And at least have the decency to put links for each main page on every page of your site, instead of generating bogus "hits".) Server logs are off the deep end, & verging on neurotic. (or are you paranoid?)

But going by these logs, it seems that the overwhelming majority of your traffic comes from the same place, me;-) Isn't it sad that most of your traffic comes from a person you've pissed off?

And if you're wondering why I look at your site so often, well - you have attacked us privately, you have attacked us publicly, and do you marvel at the fact that I check on your site to see what you are publishing next? I'm sorry, but when you attacked Leilah you attacked the woman I love. Thereby attacking me. (I do help run the Westgate, after all.) I have many better things to do than monitor your site, yet I must. For you have shown yourself to be unstable & capable of unwarranted attacks upon individuals you do not even know. I don't WANT to look at your site, it's all fluff anyway. (Real cute links you got, by the way) But you have FORCED me to. Perhaps, in some strange way, you get off on the attention. I don't know.

Bonne Nuit

Deary, deary me.... It seems that once again I have commented on something only to have it taken down ;-(

I guess a certain someone has gotten over their aversion to "pimping", though. It seems her main site, will be going global!!! Does this mean you're going to go through other yellow pages than where you live, put listings for them on your server & have none of them sign up too?

psssst. by the way, whenever I need a good laugh, your special studies page does it for me. That, or the link to the baby name analyzer. Ever try looking up Satan on that thing? It turns out he's a real sweety, a real people person...;-)

Oh! In an effort to be reciprocal, I must note that a certain person checked out our site 180 times last week....;-)

Update (8/27)

The latest developement? Remember the original page of really bad song lyrics? Well, it's back up. As of several days ago it had references to a group of "fanatics" who "named themselves".... i.e., well, us. (At least this time she called us "fanatics", and not "pimps", so I guess that's an improvement.) And also, at the end of the page, references to "the creeps who give her a hard time".... (sorry, don't know who that is, you must make enemies everywhere...)

Anyway, this is the one to whom Death came as David Essex, remember? Now, she can't even utter the word "Death". No, Azrael is not an angel of death, but of life! Thousands of years of historical perspective have been put in their place by one individual severely in denial of life's necessary ending.....

My dear, as far as your "paper route" being "infamous", well.... I don't know about that. You seem to have taken the phrase extremely close to heart, so it must have struck a chord. The fact that you will, after first taking several pages down, put them back up with a justification tells me much. Do you think anyone really cares what you do?

Pity you took the two inflammatory paragraphs out before I could actually comment on them, but you have a history, now, of publishing things to "the web", then taking them back down.... remember your server logs???

Shame most of your hits were, and still are, from me ;-)

I hardly think you've put your song lyrics page back up by "popular demand", since it's taken you more than a month to get a hundred hits.... (Oh, no! here come the dreaded server logs again!;-)

As far as your site goes, it is to laugh....

Nice touch, though, adding "the Westgate House" link. You know, we've been getting each other's mail for over 17 years. And "the Westgate House" is not the name of his site.... But you're not interested in that, are you... You simply wish to misdirect people.... (Or do you want search engines to find the word "Westgate" on your site so badly, so that people searching for us will find your site as well?)

I'm sorry that you are so infatuated with us. I shouldn't even have to acknowledge this shit. It's petty, it takes up times better spent and quite honestly I would be much happier not doing this. But I see you looking at us, & I hear echoes of what you say.... things do get back to us, you know..... And I pay attention to the little things, like when you put "Westgate" in your meta-tags, and why, if Azrael is not an "Angel of Death", do you still have that in your tags? Who are you trying to convert?

And as far as "pimping" goes (remember that?)... who is it now that has several commercial sites linked and a direct link for a certain book to Barnes & Noble.com?

Less than a year ago, you knew nothing. Now you try to pass yourself off as an "authority" about that which you do not know. Wear your flag proudly, my dear, for it displays your ignorance.....

"Rock On"

Daniel ;-)

Update (10/3/00)

First off, a few things. It seems that our favourite person has been thrown out of the Temple of Azrael. It was only a matter of time. After all, you can only b.s. people for so long before they catch on, and a psychotic nature is very difficult to hide ;-) One question, though. Why is the "Temple of Azrael" still in the meta-tags of your main page if you are no longer affilliated with them? Trying to leech traffic from that as you were when you had "Westgate" in your tags?

I have to say, though, that today you made my morning. So thanks for making me laugh ;-)

Okay, here goes..... It seems that our favourite wacko has finally put up a "rebuttal" page to this one, titled "Sheila's Scythe". Hmmmm, so not only did she lack the imagination to come up with her own name for her own site (which she swiped from another "Azrael" site) but now she can't even come up with a unique name for a rebuttal to this page. Oh well, no biggie. After all, it's free entertainment ;-)

She starts out by saying her main "issue" is that she just doesn't agree with us, but gives it all away by the end of the paragraph, she's jealous of our site & our traffic. Plain & simple. See, she has attacked us ever since we didn't buy into her "encounters" with Azrael (who is not an Angel of Death, Nooooo!), yet I think Azrael has also been the name of her cat, her car and her shower massager ;-) (Note by Leilah: Hey, the site speaks for itself in volumes! Plenty of words and mind-games with no substance or meaning whatsoever, unless one enjoys mental masturbation.)

I'll go through what she does question :

Leilah writes in "Proper English", but she is American, therefore she is a "fake". Ummm, I didn't know that being "literate" made a person a "fake". I also write in "Proper English", so what exactly is your point? How should everyone in this country write to be considered valid? Cape - Cod-ese? Ebonics? Native American? I think you are really stretching here, my dear. If our writing styles repulse you that much, stop reading. Simple, no?

She picks on the picture of us "melting" in the House of Death on our "Bizarre Noir" page because "we" claim the goth culture places too much emphasis on fashion & yet we were "dressed up" (I guess). - I don't think she knows what a "photo-shoot" is, or why people would have to do them ;-)

Leilah disses the whole "goth scene", claiming she is far away from it,  yet we list our site in search engines under "subcultures/goth". - Well, both Leilah and I are not "goth", in the sense that we just wear regular clothes. But where we get listed in certain "directories", not search engines BTW, depends on what catagories they have to offer & where we would most likely fit. Also you should place yourself where people who may be looking for you will find you, or are you suggesting we should list The Westgate under say.... Sports or.... Entertainment? Hmmm, how about listing Song of Azrael under Fantasy? ;-)

Leilah "claims" she is a vegetarian and carnivores are "vulgar". Oh, and because of the "dessicated heart" concoction we are carnivores and cannibals;-) - Let's see, she doesn't claim to be a vegetarian, she is by necessity. I, however, am a carnivore, a cannibal, a heathen, a heretic, a vile & pernicious couch potatoe, a wicked mystic & a dangerously funny & sarcastic son of a bitch ;-) (I can prove all of this, I have papers;-)  I don't know why the "concoctions" irritate you so much (by the way, that comes from my writings and not Leilah's.)  If you're going to pester us aimlessly please pay a little more attention). But then, when you're a wacky little bird, I guess you don't need any reasons.

Leilah says she is not judgemental, yet dares to pass judgement on what movies she likes & what music she listens to! - Okay..... so, you have no favourite movies or music? We are not allowed to state our opinions of such things on our own site without being "judgemental"? I really think that you're fishing in a dried up sea here. Can you not find anything of real substance to pick on? You've always had a problem with anyone elses opinion that differs from your own. You should seek professional help for that problem.

Leilah is respectful of the dead. You say that explains why her own family has never been dug up & posed with "cutsie" little pet names like the ones she has named of other's dead. - You really lack some basic reading comprehension skills, don't you? Leilah has never "dug up & posed" any corpses. The ones she did disinter were when she worked in the mortuary industry, it was part of her job, and yes, she enjoyed it. Sorry you are so fearful of  anything related to that dreaded word, DEATH! You are trying to make it sound like Leilah treats the dead like Barbie dolls, or something. But you do not even know us, so to make a claim such as this is really just your desparation showing through.

Yes, taking one's dead, or anything that doesn't belong to you is stealing. Need I remind you about the name of your site? Hmmm?

Heh, heh... here's a good one - Leilah's "consort" (me) was under the impression that we would only be as "brother & sister", but by "selling out" my ideals for hers and playing her "lap-dog" fixed that. - Oooooh, you know, I've been called much worse in my life, by better people;-) I think here it's that someone is very lonely & needs to pick on the fact that Leilah & I are now married. It's sad when someone's life is so empty that they must attack someone else's happiness in a weird attempt to justify their own existence. You could always marry your shower massager, you just couldn't take it's last name;-)

And now, the last, and possibly best, one - We published a set (?) of books which detail activities which could constitute violations. Said books are non-fiction and in the "public domain", so they should be "admissable as evidence". - I think what she's trying to say here is that because of Leilah's ritual book, Leilah should be arrested ;-) Last I checked, hon, this was America (remember? the land of Non-Proper English?) There's this little thing called the First Amendment in this country. It's what enables you to attack us, (remember the slanderous emails you sent awhile back. Well, we still have them, they'd be truly priceless in a court of law. Not to mention the time you threatened to hack our ISP and get us shut down.) You wouldn't want to waive that right, now would you? Perhaps in the Land of Sheila you don't need things like that, or maybe you are the only one who gets to freely express themselves, that way you can't be disputed.

And she ends it with a cute little paragraph including a link to a mercury poisoning page. (The concoctions again;-)

Whew! Now that's over with I can actually do some real work. Go here to see it. You can't beat this kind of entertainment!

Update (10/6/00)

I almost forgot to mention that Sheila believes that there is "more than one Azrael". In fact there are many, just like there's more than one of you and me. Oh, God, no! An army of Sheila's! Yikes! Where's that truckload of Prozac I ordered. Hey Everybody, Road Trip!!! Quick, everyone get in the car. Let's go to Cape Cod and dig up her dead relatives and have a Prozac party. Don't forget to bring your straight jacket, boys and girls!

Leilah ;-)
