There is definitely a very odd meltdown going on in ATMB, something about the mods letting soldiers shoot everybody. ---

Of course that’s a grossly dishonest mischaracterization of what their positions actually are. It’s just the same ol’ cohort doing the same trolling bullshit which is tolerated since it’s the same ol’ cohort. Hey, once the mob reaches a critical size they get treated with kid gloves. ---

Haven’t had a scroll wheel since Windows 3.1… it’s my Thumb That Needs Surgery that’s getting creaky on the trackpad, when it has to scroll past a Wall O’ Quotes…_ Sorry about the Wall O’ Quotes.😃 Like I said, I didn’t want to pad my post count and it’s easier than answering each post individually. > [@QuickSilver](#): > > Is this true? If so, that’s fucking psychotic. Yes, ol’ Becky herself said she haz(sic) ways of finding out shit on people. I’m one of the outsiders, no cheer club or sponsors, so I can only go by what I read. I don’t know if her comment is supposed to be a threat, or if it’s some “cutesy” veiled shout out to the poster above you. She claimed to know him in real life , he vehemently denied it. She doubled down, now they’re chums. Some things and some people just seem “off.” > [@wolfpup](#): > > **saucywench** , I’m amazed at the amount of time and effort you’re putting into this thread, that very long post being a good example, since your only point seems to be “I don’t like **Beck** ” and “here is a list of commentary I’ve spent half an hour collecting that proves that there are posters who agree with me”. > > Most posters here – at least those who are frequent posters and especially if they’re in any way controversial or outside the mainstream – have both their supporters and detractors. This is not extraordinary or unusual. It’s a fucking message board. > > You are of course entitled to your opinion, but we’ve heard it many times now. How many more times do we need to hear it, in how many more variations? If you were to stop and think about it, your energetic vindictiveness says a lot more about you than it does about **Beck** , who had the grace to admit the thread was a mistake and bow out. Meanwhile, days later, you’re still going at it, God only knows why. You must be easily amazed. You ought to check out ol’ Beck’s post and thread count. Prepare to have your mind blown. If you don’t like my posts put me on ignore, or scroll past my my posts like many here suggest. > [@raventhief](#): > > Where does she say she haz ways? It’s in the burn book. ---

> [@saucywench](#): > > …Let’s not pretend she doesn’t have a cheer squad propping her up, egging her on, etc. … Yeah you lose me here. The fact that there is some group of posters who enjoy her threads and well, like her, really really like her, is evidence of? That some have different tastes than you do. And? In general any poster that becomes “known” has posters who like them, or at least respect or enjoy or appreciate them, and some who despise them. Some more one direction than the other to be sure. A good number appreciate her. Good for them and her. If posters are easily avoidable by those who despise them then those annoyed only have themselves to blame if they keep reading them. Those who hijack and threadshit are another beast. Lower than what I accidentally stepped in while walking my dog. But unlike that maybe worth stepping on? Beck is not that. The fact that there is sizable group that has different taste than you is offensive to your sight? Get a grip. Again, open a Pit thread and be not surprised to become the Pitted. This op deserved the derision it got. But the rest of this? Sounds like your problem. ---

Wait, so that comment was to dropzone? So she made the remark- as an apparent joke- to someone she is in contact with off board- not even to you, and this is a “veiled threat” and “nefarious”? How about asking the person she directed the comment to, see if he found it threatening and nefarious? ---

Yeah, agreed. **dropzone** helped save **Beck’s** life when she was having a diabetic episode. And when **dropzone** was hospitalized with Covid-19, **Beck** reached out to his daughter and found out his condition. Both are grateful to have helped each other out and are better people than some of the idiots here. ---
