The real question is this. When someone is stabbing your back, is it fair to ask them to kiss your ass at the same time? ---

Monty is a huge dick and liked taking it up the ass over and over again. I wouldn’t fuck Monty with Opal’s dick, but Opal thought it worthwhile several times. I don’t know the specifics, but Monty is a dick, and Opal told him what for. Good for her. Opal is passed on, I miss her. Monty is still alive, and still a dick. ---

Decided to take **Morgenstern** ’s advice. The Second Stone: In addition to being a delusional troll, you’re a piece of shit. I’m never going to forget that you’ve accused me and others, absolutely without evidence, of defending rapists. Go to Hell. ---

Why do I get a feeling this is going to lead to a retrospective by past and present SD advisors, gurus, mods and admins… titled, “Rumors”? ---

> [@Monty](#): > > Decided to take **Morgenstern** ’s advice. You don’t get to do that and come away well. You already showed you didn’t have the respect or decency to not bring it up in the first place. You can’t go back now and say you suddenly respect her. In fact, what it does is make you seem worse, since you will start a claim, but then not back it up. Makes it seem like you just wanted to talk shit. ---

> [@Monty](#): > > The Second Stone: In addition to being a delusional troll, you’re a piece of shit. I’m never going to forget that you’ve accused me and others, absolutely without evidence, of defending rapists. Go to Hell. **Second Stone** was not saying anything a substantial portion of the world doesn’t believe, including other people in that thread. As you point out, you weren’t the only person being so accused, but you were the only one who foamed at the mouth and freaked out. In fact, early on, he went out of his way to say he wasn’t addressing those who had said what you had said (about wanting to remain neutral). You claimed the insult, and thus the motivations he assigned. To tell the truth, it was your interaction with **Second Stone** in the Cosby rape thread that makes me question whether **Opal** did to you was all that bad. You seem to overreact, and while I’ve heard vague allusions to the bad stuff **Opal** did, everything so far that I’ve seen mentioned turns out to not be anywhere near as bad as people imply. I know that thread that was linked above seems like pretty much nothing compared to how Dopers interact with each other now in the Pit. And think about who this coming from. My overreactions are why I’m a laughing stock amongst certain dopers. Heck, I’ll even defend people who who other people think are overreacting. If I of all people think you overreact… ---

Makes it seem like you just wanted to talk shit. Horse shit. If she earned his enmity then he has every right to point that fact out in a conversation about her. This is a silly little message board and you are a silly little poster on it, he has zero obligation to you or anybody else to explain the reasons for that enmity.
