one side says, they don't want me . . . the other ones say, we've asked and she doesn't want to.  the peanut internet gallery comments are, that she can't play and still has problems, and that the other girl is better.

By her own text message uploads, they clearly indicated they wanted her on board in some capacity (like coming out for a few songs a night). That said, it was pretty meh of an invite.

It would be nice to have her on the tour but she was always a liability live.

How so? Wasn't Chamberlain the one who got kicked out of the band for ODing and was present when a touring musician died? What's D'Arcy's issue? Mind you, I saw the original 4 plenty of times and never thought there was a problem until I saw them the night before they were in NY and the shit hit the fan. And D'Arcy didn't seem to be the problem at all.

By liability I mean playing-wise. The number of bootlegs where they have to stop songs and restart because of D'arcy would require more fingers and toes than I have to count.

Same. I'm going with a few friends in Philly and it's more out of morbid curiosity than expecting it to be awesome. But we found some relatively cheap good seats and figured what the hell. I wouldn't mind seeing them one last time. The last time I saw them was in 1999 at the 9:30 with Queens of the Stone Age opening.
