Thanks for the closure.
If true (and I’m not doubting you, just using ordinary skepticism about things that are out and about on the net) it’s not a big surprise. Many folks embrace rigid belief systems in order to ‘fix’ some unwanted tendency/trait in themselves.
It’s all cool. You’re my bud. 
Plus, you’re quite courageous yourself. Making peace, as you did with me, in the midst of a fight is a brave thing to do.
It seems like the fire is pretty much over - but I have one more thing to say. It seems like QG has not come here to join the community, but to lord over it. In her own words she says she doesnt’ trust anyone online even a bit. I understand this perspective but know it’s not entirely true. I’ve met several people from the boards and know they are real, board members have sent me things, and there was always the thread in which a Doper was planning to go hungry for two weeks and a whole bunch of Dopers sent her money. I still feel the prickle of tears everytime I read that thread. I’m trying to do a search, can anyone help?
Anyway, my point is that I do believe this is a community. We are not a classroom to be lectured. It seems to me QG that you like everyone disliking you. Don’t tell me “you can’t make everyone like you” - certainly you can’t, but neither do you have to go out of your way to piss everyone off.
But if that’s what you like, so be it. I’ll just sit and hope you eventually lighten up, or eventually leave. I don’t think it’s against the rules to hope either of those things.
So the question remains, did she run off with H4E?
I hope she finds whatever she was looking for.

Sorry, I think my brain is broken.
Could someone show me which post number in this thread I can use to find the “gender” thread and see the original quote from WhyNot and so on?
-FrL-
My post #158 or right here.
I can’t. I feel like a failure as a Southern Woman. They come out flat and bad. I cheat and use Mrs. B’s. But I have fed my daughter fried okra already. And I make darn good sweet tea. And I say Sir, and Ma’am. And, and and! DAMN BISCUITS! My Waterloo!
Featherlou: You are correct. It is the Peter Principle. FWIW Here is the Dilbert:
Yes, dear, and I’ve had so many subsequent referrals, including a bunch I’ve had to turn down, that I am constantly busy. The place with the scientists wasn’t allowed to keep me or hire me back - it’s government and there’s rules.
Really? How delicious!
For what it is worth, I have a problem with your posting style. I would really appreciate it if you learned to tone it down. I think the attacks on your job status are unfounded and somewhat petty.
I have no clue what you do for a living or who your friends are. I do have some negative impressions about you, but I would rather keep this to hoping you will learn to stop making people “cringe” and annoyed, than attack who you are off the board.
You threw in a very snarky line about really working while at work. While that is legit, the number of posts you made yesterday would seem to belie your position and again puts you in a bad light. If you were just trying to be funny, again your “tone” ruined the effect.
Do you see any of this at all? I do get the feeling you just really do not care.
Jim
I said this
And already know that should I dare say something like I was hurrying while getting ready for work I’d get nailed to the wall for that, too.
Oh come on now! What are you thinking, posting a logical post like that? In the Pit? 
Just wanted to say thanks to **Orbifold ** and Carson O’Genic
Jim, I live close to work, come home for lunch, and often sit at my desk and post while I’m watching a show; usually during the ads. I don’t have a dining table so eat at my desk or on the couch. It’s easier at the desk so while I’m here I post.
I’m sure it was painful to some extent for everyone involved directly.
Wouldn’t that be the icing on the cake?
Confirmed. One pathetic little pattern of pixels. I’ll try to confine my interactions here to the patterns that have actual people behind them.
How many women in their 60’s and 70’s call other people cunts and say fuck your mother? Most of the women I know who talk that way are my age or younger: 20’s and 30’s. They never learned the lessons of how to be a “proper lady.” I find older women much more decorous and passive-aggressive. I think of myself as straight-up aggressive.
Cite?
I’ll take aggressive over passive-aggressive any day of the week. Passive-aggressive just makes me want to slap people.
(I’m 40, and I don’t use the c-word at all. I don’t even tell people to shut up, but that was my particular upbringing.)
Since I assume you mean “person” instead of “people” (such a mistake is not a capital crime, after all!) and because you posted in a thread where the OP didn’t say they didn’t agree with Quiddity in that other thread without saying you disagreed with the OP, I interpret this post to mean that you agree with Quiddity.
Don’t feel bad, I’m sure you were in a rush when you wrote it. We’re very understanding of that sort of thing and have no desire to nail you to the wall for it.
The pain of being smart and misunderstood is ineffable.
So she whines about people bitching and being mean yet she won’t respond to the handful of us who have been completely nice? Her only response to my post was “Cite” and Cite" and when the cites were provided (by other people, thank you) she ignored them.
I got it. She’s an attention-whore and nothing more and nothing less.
