OpalCat is entirely capable of self control. She manages to avoid this thread religiously. ---

Opal doesn’t do the Pit. Good for you, Opal. I have to say, I visited the SDMB today as I do a max of 4 times per year, and was instantly reminded why I don’t hang out here regularly. And I STILL don’t know what’s going on in the world of the SDMB because I’ve spent the past 2 freakin’ hours reading this (and that, and all those other things linked in this thread.) It’s not your fault- it’s mine. I’m the one slowing down and craning my neck to see the car crash. Many comments in this thread made me laugh though. So maybe I’ll seeya in about 3 or 4 months. ---

She says she doesn’t do the pit. Well, probably posting in the pit. Well, recently. But I can guarantee\* she is reading this thread every time someone posts to it. In fact she is so obsessed that people are paying attention to her that she reads it from start to finish every time someone makes a new post. If we keep posting to it she might never get to read the newest posts what with having to start at the beginning each time (y’know because she’s OCD). We could post stuff about meat eaters (y’know because she’s a vegetarian). We could post stuff about how to get illegal drugs in from Canada, or some place from overseas (y’know because she’s a drug addict). We could lots of irrelevant stuff and in her own mind she’d believe that we are obsessed with posting about her, whereas in reality we are driving her towards further insanity (y’know because she is fucking, batshit insane). We could even stop talking about her (y’know because she’s an attention whore). \*Not a guarantee. ---

We could also bitch a couple of times and then leave her the hell alone. 🙂 This is like fucking grade school. ---
