Things that change how I feel about swimming in the ocean.

[Lord Jim]

I think she's proposing to you Jim.

I'd actually feel sorry for her if she weren't so toxicly vicious. (I have to admit that from a student of aberrant psychology standpoint, I find her sputtering fantasy rage rants kind of interesting.)

It's deja vu all over again...

This is the exact same BS behavior pattern she pulled the last time...

Start a fight, deny you started it and become progressively more vicious and detached from the reality of what's going on, all the while claiming to be a target and a victim...

And she also seems to have extended her bizarre blindness about her own behavior to rubato as well. (Maybe the proposal is intended for him...)

I'd say manic depression, (or if you prefer, bi-polar disorder) combined with clinical paranoia and a martyr complex...(and the fact that she chooses to target me, who she knows isn't going to sit quietly in the face of her nasty delusional bully attempts, indicates to me that there may be some psychological masochism issues involved as well...)

All obviously untreated...

I believe the colloquial term would be "a hot mess" ...

I actually think that she tries to control these impulses, but at times of stress (and I'm sure she's under a bucket load of it right now) she becomes completely unwrapped and begins flailing about...

ETA:

You know, the fact that she (says anyway) that she wants to put about half the board on "ignore" really ought to tell her something...

Nobody else here seems to have that kind of wholesale issue...

You'd think a person might ask themselves, "Gee if I think this many people are targeting and persecuting me, maybe, just maybe, there's something in my own behavior and/or perceptions that might be amiss"...

(Of course whether she actually puts anyone on ignore is highly questionable; I recall during her last meltdown that she said she was going to put me on ignore and then ranted for many more posts...)

[TPFKA@W]

Some other post she stated that she peeked after having you on ignore. It isn't ignore if you peek. Especially if you proceed to comment. It can be ahighly effective tool if you have the right mindset. It's just that I think she has more than one on ignore and with the dwindling numbers of posters here I guess that would make it a narcissistic dream come true.

[Lord Jim]

Pretty soon she'll have everybody on ignore except rube and Kristina...

Until of course Kristina "targets" her...

[Gob]

She's like that is Kristina.

[TPFKA@W]

Just can't trust anyone that sweet, kind and amiable.

[rubato]

That's utter bullshit, Gob. Or if you prefer, bollocks.

Where is your posting of 'head girl' when Guin tells you boys to "Stop. NOW." when she doesn't like the tenor or your posts and/or alleged humor? How about when @w, drama queen extraordinaire (who imagines herself 'stalked' by any male poster who bothers to 'mess with' her to any degree on the board), when she issues declarations of objection to the content of your posts?

This is just more immature sophomoric bullshit from you, because I defend a general principle which in this case happens to also involve asking you guys to quit your adolescent pig-piling on every single post rubato posts here.

It's pretty fucking obvious, I would think, to anybody not acting like a child here.

You want to make me your next target? GO FOR IT. I'm done trying to play nice. Forget any kindnesses I've shown you, either on or off the board - make me your target. Get the same in kind by return.

This pissing is stupid, and apparently one can't comment on it without getting attacked; nevertheless, I have made the decision that I will stay here so I can enjoy the handful of mature, interesting posters whose content I enjoy too much to quit my participation here altogether.

If I get attacked in the process of pointing out that the adolescent crap you guys like to engage in is to the detriment of everyone's experience here (except, apparently, yours, Jim's and a few others who delight in the pig-piling) then fine, I will simply point that out every time and you can add me to your pig-pile list along with rubato.

I'm not 'head girl', but my opinion on this subject is of equal value to everyone who contributes here, and I'm NOT going to acquiesce to your apparent suggestion that I shouldn't have the right to state that opinion because there is some hierarchy here to which I'm not conforming.

My recollection of the start of this place was a lot of discussion by you about how we were getting away from a hierarchy at CSB that was attempting to control content, and this place would be free speech, period.

But apparently some speech is freer than other speech here at Plan B Farm.

Thanks. I appreciate the note of support. We can see from the responses how richly the truth is appreciated and how stoutly it is admitted and defended. They can't admit what is obviously true so they have to change the subject. Lacking imagination, but rich in hatred and bile, they change the subject by transferring some hostility onto you. Quite a lot of work on their part deceiving themselves and a reflect of just how deeply they are slaves to their own need for hatred.

"Give us Barabbas" Old story, eh?

PS: Sorry for the delay. Holiday rush and then outtatown. Just got in last night at 1:30am. But it is a rare bright spot. thanks again!

[Lord Jim]

LMAO!!!

Well, you managed to get that right anyway...

But it is a rare bright spot.

I'm sure it is...

For you to find someone as delusional about your behavior as you are is a rare thing indeed...(perhaps being so delusional about her own behavior, she sees you as a kindred soul...)

I'm glad you're back rube...

I missed your comedic contributions; that post was a hoot....

[rubato]

You see? He does it again.

[BoSoxGal]

I stand for what I believe is right, without regard to winning anyone's admiration.

I know who I am, and like everyone I've ever met in this life, I'm also flawed and merely human.

I'm past the point where being called batshit crazy by egomaniacs on the interwebs is going to rattle me - I've seen enough of people in real life and accomplished enough good for others in real life that the contrary opinions of a few folks in virtual reality mean as much to me as . . . well, actually they mean nothing to me.

The older I get the wiser my grandma's old adages seem to me; the one that comes to mind is 'consider the source.'

[MajGenl.Meade]

quit your adolescent pig-piling on every single post rubato posts here

Good luck with that one, bsg. Quite often, rube posts something that might deserve a newspaper on the nose. There are times when many of us deserve a good thrashing for a stupid post - I've had my share of head-slaps and handed some out. But there sure is an obvious pattern of moronic abuse that follows the majority of rubato's posts.

I think someone one got this for Christmas many years ago and loaded it into an automatic generator:



I'm sure no one wants to take ownership by responding to that, though I could be mistaken

[Lord Jim]

Not a response Gen'l, merely a correction:

But there sure is an obvious pattern of moronic abuse contained in the majority of rubato's posts.

[MajGenl.Meade]

It's an addiction, Jim. Get help at once

[Lord Jim]

Well, if slapping down an arrogant, nasty little wannabe bully and calling him on his shit is an "addiction" I stand guilty as charged...

What looks like an "addiction" to me, is someone who insists on initiating these exchanges over and over and over, knowing full well that they will have zero impact on how I (or anyone else here who chooses to call this guy on his crap) will deal with said arrogant, nasty little wannabe bully...

The only conclusion I can reach is that you must enjoy the quality time we spend together in these discussions, or you wouldn't keep initiating them. I can see no other rational explanation.

[MajGenl.Meade]

Oh that's just... hang on... pie-eating taint biscuit!

How, in this thread, did I "initiate" this?

Most often it is a spontaneous shit-bomb from you, Joe Guy, and or Gob. As it is here.

Before you accuse me - take a look at yourself...

Apparently, I've dropped an invisible S Bomb in this thread...

[rubato]

I'm actually very glad that I let you know what I think of you, Joe Guy, it has allowed you to really be yourself.

[Lord Jim]

I decided to hold book on you about the fish and where they live after I saw your snotty and dismissive response to wes....(my posts about it were hardly a "shit bomb"; just disagreement...)

I just skimmed through this thread, and the first real personal insult (well aside from the "you're not worth the time of a real response" left-handed insult you directed at wes) comes from BSG, where she makes a false "pig-piling" accusation, (not one word had been addressed to her prior to that) so you can take that up with her...

ETA:

And then after some responses to the shit that your pal BSG initiated, this thread died until you revived it after nearly a week with a fresh volley of insults:

They can't admit what is obviously true so they have to change the subject. Lacking imagination, but rich in hatred and bile, they change the subject by transferring some hostility onto you. Quite a lot of work on their part deceiving themselves and a reflect of just how deeply they are slaves to their own need for hatred.

The personal insults were initiated in this thread by BSG, (if you don't count that dismissive response of yours that I mentioned earlier) and then revived by you...

Any more questions?

[Joe Guy]

I'm actually very glad that I let you know what I think of you, Joe Guy, it has allowed you to really be yourself.

I'm not sure what you mean rubester. I've always been myself. Matter of fact, I haven't met anyone who isn't himself or herself.

I was a woman once, no, actually more than once.
