Lo's Inquisition

[Sean]

With all due respect Guin, I don't think that you have any more right to demand that this thread be locked than Jarl has to demand that lo attends rehab...

[rubato]

Try to unwind. You and Gob are easier to play than a three-string dulcimer.

Cheers

The "hate Loca" thing exists because Gab-Sean-Hen-LJ &c all want it to enough to mis-interpret comments to make it so and pervert threads and comments to this end. A habit they exhibit elsewhere as well.

Problem is if I lock this thread all the shit in it will explode all over the rest of the board.

Rock and a hard place.

Exactly.

Especially as stirred as this pot is at the moment....

[Guinevere]

I disagree. It's mostly been contained, as previously acknowledged in this thread. But if you really think its just going elsewhere impose and enforce the same rules as during mediation: no discussion of the issue or stirring the pot via other threads or they will be deleted. If the members don't comply then lock it all down for a 48 hours cooling off period.

Sean, I think the distinction is board conduct v off board conduct.

But I'm going to take my own advice, shut up, and leave the decision making up to the admins.

[Jarlaxle]

never mind, i give up.

[Gob]

I'm dropping out of this "debate" also. It's come to the point now where Lo is not even attempting to post rationally, and is just making unsustainable accusations with no substance or even any attempt to substantiate.

Followed by;

By the way, Hen, I hope that you and Hatch have a contingency plan for the inevitable day when Gob abandons both of you.

Hen had dropped off of the board a coupe of days prior to this.

Pay no attention to rube...

A thread that starts out as pure shit rarely gets any better.

But, hey, this is one of my highest scoring threads ever, so I'm content to see it go on for months ....

If you lock this thread and ban Loca the shit-meisters will just move on to another target. They have shown since "Frenchy" was hounded off the prior board that all they want is shit and they'll do anything to get it.

Lying Liars and the lies they profess.

Really? Then how do you explain the peaceful month we had here when lo was suspended?

[Jarlaxle]

Rube seems to be hitting the bottle again.

[Joe Guy]

By the way, Hen, I hope that you and Hatch have a contingency plan for the inevitable day when Gob abandons both of you.

BTW Andrew, I hope you have a contingency plan for the inevitable day that LoCa asks if she can move in and replace your wife.

P.S. I didn't cast a vote in that other thread yet. At this time I don't think Loca should be suspended.

I think she should suspend herself for her own good.

Just catching up with this thread, on page 6 currently, so some of this may be old and hashed out already but some things I want to comment on and will be doing so as I get to them.

financial stress does indeed trigger alcoholism; that's a known fact.

It is true that financial stress has been known to cause people to over indulge and possibly become alcoholics, but that is true of any stress in ones life be it marital/relationship problems, over/under work, feelings of inadequacy..... Alcholism is really just a symptom of other problems/personality/character defects.

Having been in many an AA meeting (I average 9 meetings a week) and met many an alcoholic (from those who have shown up still drinking to those who have been sober for 50+ years) almost all will tell you that their financial troubles were caused more by their drinking rather than financial problems causing them to drink. In fact the overriding theme from just about everyone is that drinking was the direct cause of their financial ruin.

ETA

If you've noticed, folks in this country have been driven to suicide and murder because of it, too.

I read somewhere that the number one cause of death among alcoholics is suicide.

[oldr_n_wsr]

On page 9

Let's look at this chronologically, as most of you were there while I posted married to this snake;

I was manipulated and abused for almost ten years.

Then!

I admit to becoming an alcoholic, albeit five years later.

Cause and effect, anyone? Should seem obvious...




BTW it doesn't work the other way round

Um uh I do believe the cart needs to be put behind the horse. A personality/character defect is what caused you to drink. Drinking was but a symptom of this defect. You may have low self esteem (most alcoholics do, me included) or you felt inferior or not as smart or pretty or were subjugated and drinking took away those feelings/thoughts. Allowing the abuse to continue and not having the backbone to stop it were the disease
(aka personality defects). Drinking merely took the pain away. If it wasn't an abusive relationship, some other "crisis" would have come up that you (and all other alcoholics) would have drank over.
