> [@curlcoat](#): > > mmm, yeah, a case could be made for that. My impression tho is that she is simply too stupid and/or too self centered to realize that other people don’t think the way she does. As in “of _course_ everyone wants God’s blessings!” I don’t care how dense or self-centered someone is, I just can’t accept that they’d be able to carry this schtick on as long as she has and not realize that it’s offensive. > [@](#): > > OTOH, if you can prove she is being offensive on purpose, that would break the “don’t be a jerk” rule! She’s whining every time a mod discusses her posts with her. And at least one mod has pointed out that when it comes to her defensiveness then, she’s no longer acting stupid. AFAIC, her “glurge personality” is intentionally chosen because it disappears rapidly when she’s called on her stunt by someone in authority. She chooses it on purpose with the design of shocking another person; the greater the shock, the better. Thats why she said what she said about someone who committed suicide. > [@](#): > > Score!

So then the evidence points to her intentionally trolling the dope? I seem to recall you can be banned for this sort of thing. ---

Dude, she’s intentionally trolling _everywhere_. Of course, one can be banned for trolling the Dope, but ISTR TPTB letting one or a few such individuals go on for a while until said P had satiated their appetite for the humor of the moment. Of course, I can’t swear to any of that, mainly because my memory is fading fast. ---

Nothing is ever said to me about me being online and they always know that I am. I am on it now actually because I am done with my work hours. And if I were to ask you to knock off the swearing, would you? No. So why should I give up something that you ask me to give up? if you are not willing to meet a person half way at least, don’t ask them for anything then so if you do not like what comes from me, put me on ignore. > [@Monty](#): > > Holly, do you also get to eat for free at McDonald’s? I remember when I worked at a restaurant, the workers there had to pay for their meals. It depends on how many hours we work. 🙂 🙂 🙂 God bless you two always!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂 Holly ---

No. So why should I give up something that you ask me to give up? if you are not willing to meet a person half way at least, don’t ask them for anything then so if you do not like what comes from me, put me on ignore. First, you were asked to stop long before anyone started swearing at you. Since you have stated that you won’t stop despite being cited several verses from the Bible that discourage this kind of behavior, I believe that you would continue this even if God told you to stop. Do you pull this with every customer? ---

> [@Monty](#): > > And at least one mod has pointed out that when it comes to her defensiveness then, she’s no longer acting stupid. Assuming you’re referring to my posts, that’s not quite what I said. Some posters were saying it’s unfair to let people Pit her because she’s disabled or mentally ill, and I said that even if that’s the case, she’s able to defend herself, so a Pitting is not unfair or cruel for that reason. > [@](#): > > AFAIC, her “glurge personality” is intentionally chosen because it disappears rapidly when she’s called on her stunt by someone in authority. That’s not what I’ve seen. She was asked to cut the crap three or four times in the Mindy McCready thread and was just as oopsie/glurgy the fourth time as she was the first. What I do see in this Pit thread is some passive-aggression and a nastier side to her personality that she won’t own up to - but given all the invective people are throwing at her, that’s not surprising and it doesn’t strike me as an indicator of trolling. I do think that if **James Otto Sweet Heart** had any common sense to speak of, she’d stop engaging in these Pittings. But you could say the same thing about a lot of other people in these threads, possibly including me. ---

But I will say, **Monty** , that I noticed **James Otto Sweet Heart** is ignoring a very reasonable suggestion from **Anonymous User** about her signoff and that it looks like “I will consider how I express my beliefs” is an empty statement. ---

They feel it looks childish. It’s not worth explaining beyond that. Meanwhile the idea about just making your signoff smaller is a good one. ---

I don’t believe anyone on this forum has said they find your sign off uplifting or positive. You’re right, you don’t know everyone on earth, but it seems everyone on the Dope wants you to knock it off. When you join a community, it is generally considered polite to try to adapt to that communities code of conduct. You have made no such effort. That speaks louder than your pithy sign-off.
