> [@unwashed\_brain](#): > > You’ve taken my ideas and run down some path with them in order to fit them into your ideas about victimization. Nowhere did I ever say Miss Sterger deserved anything that she claims happened to her. Nobody deserves sexual harassment. Please step away from your soapbox. Oh right how silly of me. It’s not that she deserved it, it’s just that she’s probably a whore for allowing Favres shameful behavior to come to light. And you know she’s a whore because she was in playboy and she let two years pass before the damning evidence surfaced. The delay was only part of her master plan to capitalize on Favres celebrity but you don’t intend for that to be a slight against her or anything. If she had to mastermind a QBs downfall by manipulating him into sending dick pics why not target Tom Brady? His is probably nicer than Favres. ---

The big problem is the idea that one action makes someone a whore. Even if we accept the idea that appearing in Playboy is whoring yourself out, the fact that she’s done it exactly once means very little. Now, if she’d had a history of reporting guys doing stuff to her, you might have a point. Or, heck, if Favre hadn’t already admitted to the voicemails, thus indicating that what she claimed happened did happen. And once you’ve done something wrong to someone, it isn’t whoring for that person to tell on you. The only real situation you could be pursuing would be some type of blackmail. ---

At the very least, could you at least pick an answer and stick to it? None of this “were someone to try to” bullshit. The only person around who seems willing to do it is you, except for **Cubsfan** , **dale** , and **Fried Dough Ho** , who at least had the brains to run away from it once they did so. You, on the other hand, keep playing this subjunctive game about how _someone_ could use this as evidence for that, bla bla bla. Do you think it’s relevant, or not? If not, why do you keep talking about it? If you do, why don’t you just make your point about it? ---

I hope she is milking this for everything she can. There is absolutely nothing wrong with doing so, and in fact it would be kind of stupid not to. Only a misogynist could think doing so would make her any kind of whore. ---

> [@unwashed\_brain](#): > > The someone is not me. How else might I make that clear? I’ll take part of that back. The only thing I’ve said that I’ll own is I think she’s an attention whore. The rest, as I said upthread, has been me fleshing out a devil’s advocate theory. I didn’t think I needed to explicitly state, “hey, I’m playing devil’s advocate when I say this,” but as many of you are taking things waaaaaaay too seriously, I’ll state it. That said, I still find my theory both plausible and interesting. 🙂 ---

Fleshing something out brings actual facts to the table and adds them to your theory. “Jenn Sterger is an alien that took control of Brett Favre’s mind” is much less plausible, but has just as many facts to back it up as the theory you’re putting forward. (It may actually be more plausible, because it’s at least internally consistent.) ---

Fine - you’re doing the Vegas equivalent of being the most annoying person in the casino who tells you - no, INSISTS on - what it’s going to land on, but STILL won’t put a bet down.

Except for the 2001 join date, I’d expect him to have a Minneapolis IP address that tags back to the Vikings’ organizaton headquarters.
