Seriously?
I had been worried that LadySaiyuki was going to fabricate emails, but this is absolutely ridiculous.
Once again, I have had absolutely no contact with LadySaiyuki since shortly after the Ohio retreat in 2007(?). DoA (and my) sole source of contact with LadySaiyuki after her ban was her ban notice, which is a simple statement saying to contact Asleep Eidolon.
For archival value, she writes:
Here are 3 main reasons I did not respond sooner to this BS Problem:
1st was this horrid email From DenofAngels.com ’s Newest Owner: Armeleia/Aimee
(who has apparently hated me since I won a scholarship to the Ohio Workshop retreat…I knew she wasn’t a fan, but I didn’t know it went as far as hatred)Quote:
From: Aimee Armeleia <armeleia.aimee@gmail.com>
Date: Sun, Jan 10, 2010 at 2:30 PM
Subject: Regarding your banning on denofangels
mailed-bygmail.com

Let’s face it ladysaiyuki, you had this coming. It was only a matter of time before I found a new reason to ban you. You have been a thorn in my side since the Ohio workshop retreat, I’m honestly glad that you have a few haters in the community as it makes that fact that I can’t stand you so much easier to remove you from my community. I thought when you made your mature ted head I had enough needed to ban you back then, but at the time I did not own denofangels and did not have the power to get rid of you, and then you posted those comparison shots which lifted your ban. But now it’s different and I now own the site and can do as I please.
Even if you prove your innocence with comparison shots to the public, it won’t help you, as I made the statement that the claims against you have to be dropped by the companies before you would be allowed back on my website for a reason. As I have spoken with the companies and I know Mint on card and AE will never retract their claims against you even with proof as both they and I believe you are not capable of sculpting anything above cheap toys and even if you were talented enough to sculpt above that, it’s your own fault that you brought this drama on yourself, you should not have sculpted something that had any similarities to a company that is superior to yours.
I think you should just face the fact that whether you like it or not, there are people in this community that will always hate you and everything you ever do will be attacked as you are a natural target. An irritating and talentless ditz like you should have never been able to gain the popularity that you did and it pisses me off to have to deal with your freak followers messaging and emailing me that “it’s unfair” what happened to you. I don’t give a **** what’s unfair, I don’t like you, never did, never will and I want you off my site PERMANENTLY! Hence the statement I made on DoA as I know Mint and AE will NEVER retract their claim even with Proof showing they are not the same.
so seriously this will be the last time I contact you as you are not worth my time,
~A

so as anyone can see from this email, it’s very obvious that DOA’s newest owner hates my guts, always has, has not only tried to get rid of me before (Armeleia personally led attacks on DOA before this with my SD Ted, she personally locked my threads and posted on DOA that I was a copy artist (I have screen shots of this old dispute from DOA, and after it was beyond a shadow of a doubt that I was totally innocent, DOA’s old owner and as well as a couple of moderator, they personally asked that I never mention on doa again that I was accused of being a copy artist by one of their main moderators….I knew they asked this of me because it made doa look like a terrible accusitory guilty until proven innocent community, as honestly that is just what they had become)). Armeleia has no intention what so ever of ever letting me back on to Den of Angels. she has made that crystal clear with her nasty email. she also told several people on doa about sending me this email but she failed to mention to several of them the way she worded it to me.
I’m really very sorry to all that this email of armeleia’s has offended, but I really wanted everyone to know why I pretty much fell of the Doll community’s radar, as I felt no matter what I Proved, it wasn’t going to make any difference, as denofangels newest owner(Armeleia) seems to have made sure of this.
Armeleia/Aimee has shown her true colors to me completely…she’s done some nasty things in the past that should have made me a little weary of her personality, as at the Ohio workshop retreat, she creeped not only me out but several others at the first night of the ohio workshop retreats dinner table, bragging of what a kick she got out of Banning people off of Den of angels, at the time she was just a mod, not the owner of the site. she made jokes about making certificates of banning people off of DOA, and she bragged that she had banned like a thousand people (and NO I was NOT the only person that heard her say all of this twisted stuff, she proudly said it in front of everyone at our table which was one of 2 tables for the OWR) that should have given me an instant hint about her character and the kind of person she really was.
and Yes I forwarded armeleia’s email she sent to me in Jan. to several people right after a got the nasty email. as I wanted people to know why I didn’t care that much about over-stressing and rushing to prove myself and my sculpt yet again, like I had done with every single doll I’ve ever made.
Armeleia HERSELF, has attacked me before on previous sculpts, but as soon as everything got cleared up and I was completely proven innocent, I was let back on to DOA but asked by not only mods but the old/original owner of DOA to never again mention that I was accused of being a copy artist by DOA…as it would look bad on DOA for attacking an innocent person with NO PHYSICAL PROOF…and you know what…that’s what she did again, but this time she hid behind the phrase, it’s a company dispute with LS /MOC and AE to attempt to make herself look like a good person… fully knowing that no matter what I did she would never let me on her newly acquired site.
from what I got from the email is that Armeleia had talked to Lindsey of MOC/AE and either convinced her to not retract their false statement no matter I did or said and proved, this would discourage just about anyone with a heart I’m sure into believing that all attempts would be futile.
Armeleia herself told several well known people in the community of the message she sent me, she just didn’t tell them all the way she worded it.
someone also told me that Lindsey of MOC said that she’d be Glad to talk to me, which was complete CRAP, cause if she was willing to talk to me, she would have come to me first, but she didn’t even attempt…She deliberately ignored my obvious dissatisfaction of the products I received, and she even admitted that she did not respond or even comment on my dissatisfaction of the products she had sent to me, she just bought into and passed on the BS shopped photos that were given to her by low life (oh so trustworthy) creeps of Den of Demons. NO physical evidence at ALL
if Lindsey of MOC had contacted me directly and first before all of this crap hit the fan, I would have GLADLY offered to send MY PROTOTYPE DOLL to her for comparison if she had and all of the terrible nasty FALSE allegations would have been avoided easily, but with the method that she took, I have placed her in the same category as those that have repetitively attacked me unjustly with NO PHYSICAL PROOF! and now I wouldn’t trust her even if my life depended on it.
First, that isn’t my email address. I have used the same email address for around 6 years now – armeleia @ gmail (dot) com. Second, this is the worst example of a fabrication I can even imagine… it sounds absolutely nothing like me. Why would I have capitalized “Proof” in the last sentence? “Hence the statement I made on DoA as I know Mint and AE will NEVER retract their claim even with Proof showing they are not the same.” Rampant, non-nonsensical capitalization is entirely LadySaiyuki’s vice. And… um… why would I lay out my nefarious scheme like a Batman villain? The whole thing is so incredibly over the top and I seriously hope that no one reading would actually believe that email had come from me. I am honestly surprised that she didn’t have someone else write the email for her, or piece together and embellish bits of actual things I’ve posted in my journal or on DoA.
FWIW, I have not received a single email, PM, or instant message saying that LadySaiyuki should be unbanned. Not even a sock puppet. Her “crazy followers” either don’t exist or have been telling LadySaiyuki that they’ve been going to bat for her when they haven’t.
This is libel and I will be seeking counsel.

Something is seriously wrong with this woman. She has laid out an elaborate paranoid fantasy about the Den of Demons forum plotting the murder of her unborn child as well. Like the fabricated email, though, it is such an over-the-top and nonsensical tale that it doesn’t even approach the edges of believability.
Part of me is beginning to feel sorry for her. I can’t imagine dealing with the issues she clearly has.
July 7th, 2010 at 9:42 am
Oh s-nap!
I’d heard about the alleged emails, but seeing her actual ‘evidence’ is another story entirely.
Clearly the chick is a few fries short of a Happy Meal.
July 7th, 2010 at 10:19 am
Wow, is all I can say. I am astounded by this, and I hope that you are able to get legal help on this.
People need to understand that they can’t just MAKE THINGS UP and post it on the internets without consequences.
I don’t know if this person is acting out of spite or genuine mental illness, but I hope she gets the help that she needs.
July 7th, 2010 at 11:22 am
Someone made screen caps of LadySaiyuki’s posts. Should this goes to court they can be used. I don’t understand, she’s making it worse for herself with every move she made.
July 7th, 2010 at 11:30 am
Seriously, this is just about the most insane thing I’ve ever heard of.
It’s so obviously fabricated that it is nuts. I hope she gets some help. She is seriously damaged. OMG. Words just fail me.
July 7th, 2010 at 12:06 pm
That email sounds nothing like you in tone or writing style. Going as far as creating a gmail to create this drama and bad press I second the assessment that she does seem like she is a few fries short of a Happy Meal. She needs serious help.
I hope the libel threat makes her lay off you as a target for getting attention for herself.
July 7th, 2010 at 1:23 pm
I’ve been screencapping Lady Saiyuki’s output pretty religiously for the last few months, since she tends to go back in and delete things, so if you find yourself in need of documentation let me know. You’re welcome to everything I’ve got.
July 7th, 2010 at 2:18 pm
I know this is not much of a consolation, but even a non-native English speaker like me was able to easily see that the letter wasn’t written by you.
I have my theories about her mental health…let’s just say, I hope she gets better soon. It’s sad to see a budding artist go down like this…
July 7th, 2010 at 10:38 pm
Lizz – I’d have an easier time feeling sorry for her if she wasn’t trying to drag me down with her. The baby-killing accusation seemed really… bizarre.
Saryn – It’s weird, isn’t it? I don’t get the timing either. If she’s supposedly had this email since January, why not post it sooner?
Twotone – I don’t know what to think anymore. I am still trying to wrap my brain around this and determine my course of action. Mostly what I want is to be left alone.
jim – I’ve saved things as needed too. Thanks though!
sher – I know!
Aree- I hope so… but to be honest, I think this dead horse is going to get beaten into dust. Two years down the road when I’m not even the owner of DoA and have moved on to collecting miniature ponies I’m half-expecting to get an email that says, “Hey, guess what was posted about you!”
chibaraki – Thanks so much. I’ll let you know. I really appreciate the offer.
Smaug – Thanks, I’d actually been wondering about that.
July 8th, 2010 at 3:28 pm
I can reassure you in my own behalf, like Smaug, as a non-native English speaker, that it is painstakingly obvious that this letter is a complete fabrication. I haven’t been reading that many of your blog entries, or posts on different forums, but even with my limited insight of your writing style, I can immediately tell that whoever wrote that letter is definitely not you.
And as a personal note, I have to say that I can’t help but think that this fake letter is written by someone who’s also a complete idiot, and inept in composing thoughts to coherent sentences.
July 8th, 2010 at 4:17 pm
I can’t believe she’s digging a hole like this. It’s so obvious and completely insane.
I don’t really know what else to say, except that I’d like to offer my support and hope for your sake this is ignored.
July 9th, 2010 at 6:17 am
good, you SHOULD be seeking counsel. how disgusting is it when someone sinks to that level.
i’m not up on all the drama, but i gathered a fair amount from this, and i think it’s ridiculous. this girl needs to get a life.
July 9th, 2010 at 6:44 pm
Coming out of silently lurking and reading your blog to say, quite simply: …wat.
I actually had to stop and reread that middle paragraph that “you” wrote to see if I had just missed the sentence structure hiding in it. It seems I’m not just tired – there really is none. It’s just bad LS writing skills.
If you take anything from this ordeal, please take pride in the fact that you can properly construct a sentence and sound intelligent.
July 28th, 2010 at 7:56 am
Wow, I’m a few weeks behind, but wow!
Hope you’ve sought legal counsel.
It’s sad to imagine that there’s a young child involved in all this. I hope that there’s *someone* with their priorities straight taking a central role in that child’s life…
