The op is in a tough situation THEY created and are now on here complaining about it. I suppose if you have an opinion, it better be sunshine, roses, and kudos huh?
The same people who are on here bitching at Diane for suggesting it might not be a good idea to invite a stranger into your home with your children around would be the first ones with a hammer, nails, and a cross if they read about a child rape and murder in the same situation. I can just imagine the PAGES and PAGES of psychobabble about how could anybody be so stupid to put their child in harm’s way.
If you wish to live dangerously and invite strangers into your home and put your life at risk, possibly lose all your worldly possessions, and support someone you don’t even know… knock yourselves out. When you do so while you are responsible for a minor child, you are bordering on reckless behavior and should rethink your priorities. If your kid gets raped or killed, I guess you’ll always be able to wear your badge of compassion as comfort.
You couldn’t find a callous remark. WorldEater is the very model of kindness and politeness, and the defender of all such on these boards. The very bastion of integrity. The very model of a modern major general.
So the 9-year old is raped and murdered, at least the OP didn’t have to deal with random facelss internet acquaintances telling her to be more cautious with strange men in the house. You should be ashamed.
She acted on something she was nervous about, and communicated her feelings to the asshole, which was a big step. It’s a shame it was lost in all the arguing here, because she should be commended for it. If that doesn’t translate to so far so good, I don’t know what does.

Christ, this is so fucking stupid. Let’s go back to what pissed me off, and let me say it real slow.
Diane said something that I thought was in poor taste.
Telling someone they have no backbone is generally a bad thing.
I thought she could have said the same thing differently, perhaps more tactfully, and still conveyed her point.
See, this is where you come off as nothing more than a yapping harpy. Telling the OP to grow a backbone and kick the guy out of the house = a kick in the ribs. :rolleyes:
Excuse me for thinking you are nothing more than a hysterical priss looking for something to be insulted over. Odd thing is, is that you took such offense to something that wasn’t even aimed at you. If you can’t handle the backbone comment, Lord help you if you ever see some of the more lethal Pit threads.
Say it as slow as you want, I am pretty certain everyone here got it the first time you blabbed it out of your gob. You were highly insulted that I told Star to grow a backbone. Blah blah blah Boo Fuckin Hoo!!! I’ll say it again - Star needs to grow a backbone and kick the loser out of their home, the home they share with their child!
In all of your sputtering and spitting, you have yet to answer questions posed to you. Do you not see anything wrong with bringing a stranger into your home where your child lives?
Don’t bother answering, nothing would surprise me. You’ve shown yourself to be nothing more than a oversensitive, whining idiot.

It’s not that hard to comprehend, really sweety, but I will try to bring it down to your level in hopes that you may catch a grasp.
Star wrote an OP regarding the stranger/child/mooching thing.
Diane says “grow a backbone” and kick the asshole out.
World Eater says Diane is being a big meanie for saying “grow a backbone”.
UncleBill (and Pepper) makes a sarcastic comment regarding tact in the Pit (pay attention as this is where it gets tricky) – TO WORLDEATER.
Diane adds to the sarcastic comment TO WORLDEATER by saying:
(hint: Notice how the name “Bill” is used in the first sentence? That means that I was responding to his post but in reality, I was sorta responding to WorldEater too. . . . See how that works?)
Yeah, I got it. Thing is, every single time I see your posts, you come off as a harping bitch. Wasn’t World Eater actually saying that you come off as a loud mouthed bitch? Which you do, actually. Harp harp harp.
Good to see I could help. Nice attempt to divert from the fact that you went yammering off about something you didn’t comprehend and looked like an idiot, but as you say - whatever.
Actually I missed you using the actual word backbone, as I extrapolated your sentiment from the first few sentences, but I’ll stand by what I said. It was the incredulous tone compounded with the fact that it was vomited from Diane, a reknowned bitch, that got my goat, not the actual words used.
Well, World Eater, what she should be nervous about is continuing to harbor an unemployed, mooching stranger in the same home as her minor child. She wants to know how to get him out, not how to get over her shyness. All she’s managed to do so far is tell him they are “finding his presence uncomfortable, and [they] were worried about him. Also that he needs to be proactive with his job searching.” This isn’t even close to actually accomplishing "get[ting] this guy out of [their] house."
She came here and asked us how to do this and after all the advice she was given, she still copped out of telling him to get out! So Diane told her she needs to grow a backbone. And I agree. You can call me a bitch, too, if you want, but that’s just the cold, hard reality of it.
Now everyone feel free to direct their “what if her kid gets ground up into dogfood by this guy” questions to Superstar as I am finished defending her.
Nice try Dummy, but no you didn’t understand otherwise you wouldn’t have said this:
Or later this:
Anyone want to place bets?
In all seriousness - If the words “grow a backbone” coming from my keyboard sends you and Jessity into such a lather, that is your problem. The two of you should really consider not letting me affect your lives they way I so obviously do. Really. It can’t be healthy.
As much as I hate hurting your feelings, the feeling ain’t mutual. I don’t consider either one of you anything more than background noise that sometimes spurts idiocy. I will agree that you have given me some quality entertainment over the last few days. Cheaper than going to the movies, ya know?
