> [@Monty](#): > > Okay. You want to know what the grudge is? Opal, at the very same time she was talking to me IRL and pretending to be my friend, was posting trash about me on another site. As it turns out, she’s done that to other people. As another poster mentioned upthread, I did extend an olive branch to her and her response was to increase her vitriol against me. She was a nasty piece of work and it appeared to me that she liked being that way and to hell with whomever she hurt. Definitely bad conduct if true. But this happened _how_ many years ago, you say? Because kids not yet born at the time of that 1999 thread someone linked to, are already scaring the shit out of their parents while driving with their learners’ permits. Dude, let go. > [@](#): > > That’s the reason why I don’t engage in this board’s “Opal worship” _This_ board? You sure we’re talking about the same place? > [@](#): > > and it’s the reason I, along with some others, will have, as I said in the other thread, no problem whatsoever remembering her for something other than that stupid joke. If you think that’s petty of me, well, that’s your prerogative. No, you’ve got a right to remember her however you wish. What’s petty of you is bringing up your ancient grudge out of nowhere in a discussion where it was about as far from germane as one could imagine. ---

So the reason Monty has carried a grudge against Opal all these years is because of a _threading issue_? ---

While the Monty/Opal stuff is lame, HS drama, The Second Stone resembles one of those cartoons where the character is so caught up in the scrum that he doesn’t realize the ankle he’s biting, the ears he’s pulling, and the nuts he’s punching are his own. Hmm, off to watch some Looney Tunes. ---

> [@Knowed\_Out](#): > > So the reason Monty has carried a grudge against Opal all these years is because of a _threading issue_? Yep. It would appear that way, whatever the hell a threading issue is. What is more is that he was the one in the wrong about it according to the ‘olive branch’ of apology he extended. His butt buddies think he is entirely rational and justified in this two decade old feud against a deceased woman about nothing. Oh, and they hate her too! ---
